Synopsis
The Middle East in the World offers students a fresh, comprehensive, multidisciplinary entry point to the broader Middle East. After a brief introduction to the study of the region, the early chapters of the book survey the essentials of Middle Eastern history; important historical narratives; and the region's languages, religions, and global connections. Students are guided through the material with relevant maps, resource boxes, and text boxes that support and guide further independent exploration of the topics at hand.
The second half of the book presents interdisciplinary case studies, each of which focuses on a specific country or sub-region and a salient issue, offering a taste of the cultural distinctiveness of the particular country while also drawing attention to global linkages. Readers will come away from this book with an understanding of the larger historical, political, and cultural frameworks that shaped the Middle East as we know it today, and of current issues that have relevance in the Middle East and beyond.

Review
"Pitched at exactly the right level to provide a many-faceted introduction to the study of the modern Middle East, this book will be a must for all those who aspire to understand and to teach the background to contemporary events in this troubled region of the world." --Roger Owen, Harvard University
"This is the textbook I have been waiting for! It covers a lot of ground in terms of history, politics, and cultures of the Middle East, but also goes deep into several very important topics representative of issues faced by peoples and societies across the region. It will work perfectly for my classes that have a mix of students, some with knowledge of the region and others completely new to it. The book is also sophisticated in introducing students to the many ways different disciplines approach the study of the Middle East, both today and in the past, and the problems that arise with each of them. Finally, its blended learning approach provides plenty of opportunities for students to pursue additional knowledge, calling their attention to online resources and examples from media around the world. This textbook will satisfy a need for undergraduate courses on the Middle East from diverse perspectives and in a variety of disciplines." --Amy Young Evrard, Gettysburg College
