The class that I bought this for isn't very good, but the book itself gives a good overview of the Middle Easts various Arab and non Arab cultures. It also details very well the way in which the West's colonialism turned this area into a violent and fractured place.

Next semester's text … nicely laid out and easy to use. Only thing missing are some nice coloured pictures throughout; next edition, maybe?

I can't LOVE it as it's a school book, but it is informative and interesting. It is a compilation of articles and texts.

The book was in a perfect condition just like said in the site. Like a brand new book. Thank you indeed.

Excellent overview and insight about the whole region, historically, politically, economically.

A lot of information on anyone who is interested in the Middle East.
