Product Description
This book is a multipurpose study that comprises general photography, rules of Islamic and Traditional Culture regarding photography and some important directions for photographing natural and historical places in Oman. The purpose of indicating the Islamic and traditional culture rules, which is the main topic of this book is to indicate how to take pictures from the perspective of people from another culture (Islamic countries), and is to let professional experts know what can be photographed, how you photograph, what should be done by indicating both the opinions of scholars and members of these societies about photography. The other topic is a photographic aspect, it presents types and techniques related to general knowledge in photography both conventional and digital photography in the Oman environment as a second topic.The purpose concerning the directions (in chapter three) is to enable photographers to know the name of the places that they can visit for taking photographs of different subjects. I have combined these three topics in one book, to give you a good picture, which will help when planning to take images and, which will keep you away from problems that could occur if one is not familiar with the positive and negative points related to the topics indicated. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
A month after the September 11th attacks, the somewhat skeptical author, ex-paratrooper, teacher and smart-aleck, decides to take a job teaching English in the Sultanate of Oman to, "...show at least some of the people in the Middle East that not all Americans are war-mongers." In spite of the warnings of friends, family and the U.S. State Department, the author arrives in Oman to find the country is nothing that he (nor anyone) had imagined. He finds himself teaching students in a small town who are completely different than any students he has ever taught before. He also finds himself alone as an American and quickly he becomes immersed in a culture whose people are the friendliest he has ever seen.
He soon meets and falls in love with an Indian girl who lives two hundred miles away in Muscat. Her parents are rich and extremely conservative Hindus who will never accept their daughter being married to a "ghora" (white American). In spite of the odds against them, he drives two hundred miles every weekend, just to be with her. Together, they visit the many exotic locations Oman has to offer, from beautiful white sand beaches, to towering mountains. His unawareness of the vast differences between his own culture and the cultures he finds himself within gives him an insight to the world that most Americans (and Europeans) don't ever have. His sense of humor and his writing style make this and Another Year in Oman two of the best books you will ever read. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
There has been a growing body of literature examining the role that the tourism industry plays on the lives of women employees. These studies have tended to focus on women in Western countries and developing countries. Both positive and negative aspects of tourism employment have been addressed. However, there has been relatively little attention paid to the employment of Muslim women in the tourism industry in the Middle East, North Africa or the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore, this book will help to bridge this gap in the literature in understanding the experiences and meanings of tourism employment for Muslim women, including the positive and negative aspects of this form of employment. Theoretical analysis of the study provides new ways to understand the potential role of tourism employment for women in Muslim societies, which includes exploitation versus empowerment, resistance and social change. Hence, the book provides a stepping-stone towards understanding the changing role of Muslim women, and should be especially useful for academic professionals and tourism policy makers, or anyone else who may be interested in the area of Muslim women and tourism employment studies. ...
