Publisher's Synopsis
Captain Karim takes us from the farms and oilfields of the USA to London, where we join Arsenal fans experiencing yet another disappointment. Upon arrival, we are reminded not to use the Egyptian pound to avoid upsetting the driver. The majestic Nile flowing past Emirates Stadium evokes thoughts of Egypt, captivating the scene with its presence. As Britain exits the European Union, the event unfolds in a matter of minutes, or perhaps pages. Fares Al Turky guides us through the narrow and vast corners of the world, shedding light on overlooked and often dark places that have gone unnoticed. This is achieved through a nimble and heartfelt writing style, where he delves into economics and meticulously corrects figures and information to reveal the truth behind them, rather than just presenting them at face value.
I've always loved to read, to learn, and to know all that is new in
every field of science. It is not enough for me to acquire information
from what people say or chat about, not even from lectures given by my
university professors or my boss's instructions at work. I've always been
passionate about reading and doing research to increase my knowledge
in all the fields I like. So, when I hear that Shakespeare is a great writer
and his plays are immortalised in English literature, I would go straight
away to search for and buy the best Shakespearian plays to read. Or
when I hear that Ghazi Algosaibi excelled in management, I would also
buy his books and benefit from them and not just be satisfied with what
I read about him in newspapers and the like. My boss also has a long and
vast experience in gaining and keeping clients and earning their loyalty,
thus I kept searching for the best books that discussed this to explore
and gain knowledge about the di-erent schools of thought in this field.
And when I hear about the period of America's economic recession, I
don't just read analysis done by some economists about it, but also look
for the best books that studied this period and learn from them.
