Summary

Nomadic Tribes explores the significant role of tribal societies in shaping the Middle East's cultural, economic, and political landscapes. Often viewed as peripheral, these nomadic tribes developed sophisticated strategies for survival in arid regions and built complex relationships with settled populations. The book highlights how their mastery of resource management, evident in unique social structures and technological innovations, allowed them to thrive despite environmental challenges. It also examines the dynamic interplay between nomadic and sedentary communities, revealing a history of both cooperation and conflict, particularly in the realms of trade and warfare. The book synthesizes historical accounts, archaeological findings, and ethnographic studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of Middle Eastern nomadism. It challenges the notion of nomadic groups as marginal entities, instead positioning them as integral components of regional history. Beginning with the environmental and historical context, the narrative progresses through specific aspects of nomadic life, such as economic systems, social organization, and political structures. A key focus is the analysis of tribal-state relations, exploring their involvement in trade networks, military conflicts, and political alliances. By utilizing recently declassified Ottoman and British archival materials, Nomadic Tribes offers fresh insights into tribal administration and socio-economic conditions. This integrated approach, combining historical depth with anthropological insights and political analysis, makes the book a valuable resource for understanding the enduring legacy of nomadic societies in the Middle East.

    We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.
