This book contains the proceedings of the International conference; “Shifting Identities: Changes in the social; political; and religious structures in the Middle Eastâ€; which was held in Cyprus in July 2015. The conference brought together around 50 professors; historians; theologians; social scientists and researchers from over 15 countries including Europe; the USA; and the Middle East. Case studies from Palestine; Israel; Lebanon; Iran; and Sweden were presented. Some of these case studies focused on particular community like the Armenians; Syrian orthodox; or Protestants while others studies chose to tackle issues like feminism or Arabism in the Middle East. Several of the articles struggled theologically to find a meaning to what is happening in the aftermath of the so-called Arab Spring showing a way forward. Shifting identities is not a pure theoretical exercise but are related to shifts that were experienced by several of the authors in the course of their biographical journeys.

Its initial separation; explanatory of its characters;reminds me the structure of Game of Thrones; a fictional story. However; Waterloo is not fiction; but a historical document of the thoughts; actions and finality of a series of events that we could devote more attention to; from the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth centuries; as it changed the world more profoundly than anyone could imagine. I recommend it and will re-read it to get more of History. I loved it!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great !!By Anna smithI have acknowledged many information of history from this book. Really; i did not know more about Napoleon;Welleslry and also about Waterloo. Waterloo is regarded as one of the bloodiest but also one of the most important battles in history. The Napoleonic Wars brought Wellesley and Napoleon into conflict with each other; and eventually; they collided during the Waterloo Campaign.The book is so informative. The battle that has changed Europe was fully unknown to me. If you want to know about it;i will suggest for you this book.As only this book can enriched your brain with many information of that history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An Historic Battle!By Richard SternagelI believe the author tries to keep an unbiased opinion of Wellington and Napoleon. Mr Steinberg was successful in iilustrating the strength and weaknesses of these two Masters of Warfare. The aftermath of the Battle also shows the importance of the Battle on modern Europe.I recommend this book.
