One reason may be that, for more than half a century, there has been no up-to-date single-volume work that chronicles the story of Arab civilization-until now. Albert Hourani, distinguished historian and interpreter, has written a masterwork, a panoramic view encompassing twelve centuries of Arab history and culture. He looks at all sides of this rich and venerable civilization, including the beauty of the Alhambra and the great mosques, the importance attached to education, the achievements of Arab science-but also internal conflicts, widespread poverty, the role of women, and the contemporary Palestinian question. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 651 0 Arab countries|xHistory. 700 1 McCaddon, Wanda. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12395120?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781538596500_180.jpeg
