The Handbook Of Business Essentials - Middle East Edition

The demands of today's fast-paced world have made it increasingly challenging for educators in higher education. Conventional teaching materials are continuously proving outdated due to their inflexibility and lack of consideration for diverse classrooms. Educators have struggled to find concise yet thorough, matter-of-fact content for teaching purposes. The solution is usually a scattershot collection of information from various sources—a particular difficulty for students whose English is a second language. Due to language barriers, innuendo, and lingo, these students can struggle with varying methods of information representation, ultimately finding it difficult to adjust to the expected pace of study.

Within this challenge lies an opportunity to consolidate individual research, experience, and efforts to unify course materials better suited to the aforementioned audience. Therefore, The Handbook of Business Essentials - Middle East Edition provides a comprehensive look at the latest management theories and business strategies in a concise yet thorough, easy-to-read context particularly adjusted for non-native English speakers. It also caters to the target student audience by providing real-world examples from the Middle East, which they can better understand and relate to. The book includes a full Arabic translation, as well as a glossary of translated terminology.

The Harbor And Other Stories

Sometimes, I find the present just fades away and becomes background noise. This is when the past – with its bank of memories – takes over, and I find myself as if watching a documentary, complete with images, movement and the pulse of life. Certain triggers raid my mind and take me from my present life to a long-distant past in such a way that I can see and relive it in detail, and even move between its different scenes.
But those scenes and details are not always pleasant, for some still bring sorrow, and these are the ones whose existence I try hard to forget. And though I might sometimes succeed, their influences remain in every cell of my body, and they leave me overwhelmed with anguish and pain.
Is it my nostalgia for the past that keeps taking me back to those ‘stations’ of my life?
Some of the stops on my journey are too hazy to attract my attention, and I hurriedly pass them by. Others are so vivid and clear that I prefer to linger there, press rewind, and play again.

The Lifestyle Diet

How many diets have you followed in your life? Is dieting the path to weight loss? Do diets really work?

Today we have many trendy diets; Keto, Plant-based, Paleo, Detox and Intermittent Fasting, to name a few. These popular diets have some merit, but they do not qualify as lifestyle choices or weight loss solutions. They are unenjoyable, restrictive and unsustainable.

We live in a world of abundance and an information overload, leaving us feeling more confused than ever before regarding how we should eat for weight loss. What’s more? The diet culture and unqualified individuals have begun exploiting social media by offering quick fixes and unscientific advice, further adding to your frustration and confusion.

The truth is, there is no quick fix to this long-term problem. And no matter how much you may exercise, you can’t outrun a bad diet.

The Lifestyle Diet will show you that it is possible to eat everything you enjoy, live your life, and still lose weight. You can do this without suffering the physical, mental, and emotional consequences associated with dieting.

Considering the scientific research on today’s most popular diets, Alshawa will offer evidence-based advice and prove to you why diets do not work for weight loss in a clinically healthy population.

The Lifestyle Diet will put you on the path to effective lifestyle interventions to be healthier and lose weight…without ever having to diet AGAIN!

The Order Of Truth And Love

“This book was born from the heart and the desire of only ONE, to share with others, their realization and the feeling of fullness in the heart.

I recall the words of Jesus Christ:

‘A lighted lamp is not placed under a vessel; on the contrary, it is placed on a stand so that it shines to everyone in the house.’ (The Gospel of Matthew 5:15)”

Mikhail Zheltikov, Russia.

“Reading this book, I can see myself. I can see myself from the inside out. Every sentence, every word. It resonates. It resonates with me now, with me in the past or may be my future self. Thank you. Thank you for supporting me in my journey through meaningful words.”

Stephanie Siahaija, The Netherlands.

“This book is the light when everything around you is dark and as quoted in this book where Rumi says, ‘If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.’ I hope this book reaches you when you need to find that light the most. It's really easy to read, short, crisp and heart touching.”

– Anjali Singh, India.

The Soft Power

Life is all about choices. The choices we make can make us who we want to be.

It was never about what we want as a full picture, but as pieces that we put together to make a better picture.

We are never given a complete life. It was never meant to be complete and we are never meant to be complete in any way.

We are demanding creatures among all creatures. We always strive for more and never settled. Among all creatures, women are the most demanding. Not because they are unsatisfied and greedy but because they are smart enough to locate what is missing in their own lives.

The woman in this book is a woman who went through different journeys to reach the destination she settled in today, but toxic thoughts of yesterday or maybe the hidden desires of tomorrow are living in her thoughts and hunting her present.

She demands to be free, if not on the outside, then on the inside is enough for now.

She is all of the women out there and is all the girls they once were.

The Thoughts Of A Teenager

Sometimes, the most painful lessons in our lives can be the simple mistakes we encounter each and every day.

Being a teenager can be hard but I frankly believe it is one of the important stages in life. Not only am I changing on the outside, but I’m also changing on the inside as well. I meet new people, I take the good and leave the bad; I meet other people, I take the bad and leave the good. At this point, it’s just how life is. After developing many friendships, the realization hits: you realize that nobody can be trusted, not your best friend, not your classmate, or even your sister. Therefore I learnt the hard way that writing your thoughts and feelings down is a better way of relaxing than trusting someone will ever be.
