Book Description
Review:I am highly obliged to be a part of this book by writing a review to the latest book of Emmanuel Bathula, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said The King of Peace 50 years of the glorious reign, a book that marks the magnificent era and his legacy that is continued by his successor, the humblest and kindest king of Oman, HM Sultan Haitham Bin Tariq. I take this opportunity to appreciate the writer and all the others members for their dedication of the book to the entire Omani community on the auspicious occasion of 50th National Day which is also the 80th birth anniversary of the late king, his majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said celebrated solemnly under the successful coronation of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq after the death of the noblest and the king of peace, HM Sultan Qaboos bin Said.I am surprised to see a foreigner writing a book about our homeland, Oman, and about our beloved king with utmost love and concern for the nation. The present title, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said The King of Peace 50 years of the glorious reign, is partially an anthology of write-ups from different nationalities and the extracts from the internet along with the writer's own sources of information and experience in the country.After reading this book I feel that the book would touch our entire Omani community for the respect and love of expatriates for our motherland. Indeed, this book would inspire the entire world to know about the noblest king of peace His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said through the genuine feelings of the writer and his team.It is a book of a rare combination of the writer's understanding of the place where he lives and the experience he has got with the people of Oman. 50 Years of Glorious Reign of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, provides every reader the story which is a glorious history from the land of Oman. According to the author, in the recent past, there has never been a king who ruled his kingdom for 50 years with fair treatment of humility, respect, equality, and fraternity to everyone under his protection as the king of Oman, Sultan Qaboos bin Said. To quote from one of his rarest speeches, "The world you are inheriting is one in which fanaticism, intolerance, and disregard and disrespect for the rule of law have become a byword, where we see violence and oppression on all sides, and we see man sometimes in despair of the future of humanity. But we believe that the day must come when these evils are defeated. This is the aim which every one of us, of every nationality, must seek to work for and achieve."The book covers from the author's point of view from the birth of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said until his death on 10th January 2020 along with the extracts he has taken from other sources. The writer tries to convey how the king took all the challenges onto his young shoulders at the age of thirty without any turning back and led the nation to the pinnacle of success where no other country in the world could do such wonders as His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said did. He is the rarest of kings of peace in the history of humanity. Further, the book also highlights the expatriates' understanding of Omani people and their relationships with other nationalities. In their words, Omani people are very kind and generous.- Najma Al ZadjaliDescription:In short, the book is a partial compilation of the author and the write-ups by different nationalities along with the direct extracts taken from original sources. This is a humble tribute from everyone who took part and gave one's share through their write-ups in this book honoring the late king his Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said along with a commitment to continue humble services to the country under the esteemed leadership of the present king, HM Sultan Haitham bin Tariq.

Book Description
During the 17th and 18th century musicians' mobilities and migrations are essential for the European music history and the cultural exchange of music. Adopting viewpoints that reflect different methodological approaches and diversified research cultures, the book presents studies on central scopes, strategies and artistic outcomes of mobile and migratory musicians as well as on the transfer of music. By looking at elite and non-elite musicians and their everyday mobilities to major and minor centers of music production and practice, new biographical patterns and new stylistic paradigms in the European East, West and South emerge.

Book Description
The birth of photography coincided with the expansion of European imperialism in the Middle East, and some of the medium's earliest images are Orientalist pictures taken by Europeans in such places as Cairo and Jerusalem—photographs that have long shaped and distorted the Western visual imagination of the region. But the Middle East had many of its own photographers, collectors, and patrons. In this book, Stephen Sheehi presents a groundbreaking new account of early photography in the Arab world. The Arab Imago concentrates primarily on studio portraits by Arab and Armenian photographers in the late Ottoman Empire. Examining previously known studios such as Abdullah Frères, Pascal Sébah, Garabed Krikorian, and Khalil Raad, the book also provides the first account of other pioneers such as Georges and Louis Saboungi, the Kova Brothers, Muhammad Sadiq Bey, and Ibrahim Rif'at Pasha—as well as the first detailed look at early photographs of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. In addition, the book explores indigenous photography manuals and albums, newspapers, scientific journals, and fiction. Featuring extensive previously unpublished images, The Arab Imago shows how native photography played an essential role in the creation of modern Arab societies in Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon before the First World War. At the same time, the book overturns Eurocentric and Orientalist understandings of indigenous photography and challenges previous histories of the medium.

Book Description
Every city has its unique and valuable identity, this identity is revealed through its physical and visual form, it is seen through the eyes of its residents and users. The city develops over time, and its identity evolves with it. Reflecting the rapid and constant changes the city is subjected to, Architecture and Arts, is the embodiment of the cultural, historical, and economical characteristics of the city. This conference was dedicated to the investigation of the different new approaches developed in Architecture and Contemporary arts. It has focused on the basis of urban life and identities. This volume provides discussions on the examples and tendencies in dealing with urban identities as well as the transformation of cities and urban cultures mentioned in terms of their form, identity, and their current art. Contemporary art, when subjected to experiments, continues to be produced in various directions, to be consumed and to put forward new ideas. Art continuously renews itself, from new materials to different means of communication, from interactive works to computer games, from new approaches to perceptional paradigms and problems of city and nature of the millennium. This is an Open Access ebook, and can be found on www.taylorfrancis.com.

Book Description
The Companion is an essential, interdisciplinary tool for those both familiar and unfamiliar with Wagner's Ring. It opens with a concise introduction to both the composer and the Ring, introducing Wagner as a cultural figure, and giving a comprehensive overview of the work. Subsequent chapters, written by leading Wagner experts, focus on musical topics such as 'leitmotif', and structure, and provide a comprehensive set of character portraits, including leading players like Wotan, Brünnhilde, and Siegfried. Further chapters look to the mythological background of the work and the idea of the Bayreuth Festival, as well as critical reception of the Ring, its relationship to Nazism, and its impact on literature and popular culture, in turn offering new approaches to interpretation including gender, race and environmentalism. The volume ends with a history of notable stage productions from the world premiere in 1876 to the most recent stagings in Bayreuth and elsewhere.
