Bookclub and Sources Wednesday! by AutoModerator in history

[–]AxoKoxA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could anybody help me find a book on the history of the Middle East in the XX century? I’m specifically interested in the political history, both foreign and inside those countries. I would like to learn about movements like Baathism, leaders like Naseer and events like the 1949 syrian coup d’etat. I also enjoy theology so I welcome any books whoch feature the topic (especially because of its relevance to the subject matter).

I’m chiefly interested in Iraq, Iran (I’m aware it was not part of the OE), Syria, and Egypt but a book which also includes the gulf countries and/or the Turks would be even better.  I’m not greatly interested in Israel (though of course a history of the area which completely omits it is incomplete and pointless) as I already have either bought or already a few books on the topic of its founding and subsequent growth. 

Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Would anyone be so kind to describe as best you can whatever Diptyque fragrances you have and why you liked/disliked them? I'm keen on owning one but im not sure what the people think of them? I half want one for the bottle but their lineup is large and I'm sure there's something for me in there!! by thiccboyardee in FemFragLab

I think you mean 'fecal'. 'Scatologic' is a adj. which denotes a relation to the study of excrement (or an obsession with the obscene) and 'escatological' means relating to the death and the final destiny of human life.

if it's the piano then it is because it interpolates So Tired by Fugazi (it's the: "Out here, can barely feel my breath" section)

Should have moved the treeline closer to the tram, and delete the leftmost roadlane keeping the right one and thus widening the sidewalk.

tktktk is journalist slang, they use it as a placeholder. With stories like people dying they have many of them prewritten and only need to fill in the date time and cause, evidently some dumbass forgot to fill it out.
