Take the example of the square head scarves worn by the Arab men.  I&#8217;m curious about  the  variations in color and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=edpublishing.wordpress.com&blog=2608625&post=212&subd=edpublishing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Our boxes have been delivered and at last we’re ready for show time. When the doors open today, nearly 10,000 teachers and school children stream in. They’re clutching 10 Dirham coupons courtesy of the sheik and they’re eagerly looking for books to buy. Reportedly, the government distributes about 4 million dirhams worth of coupons [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=edpublishing.wordpress.com&blog=2608625&post=197&subd=edpublishing&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Education is the theme of this year’s Abu Dhabi Book Fair and it’s already been an educational experience. I’ve learned that there are 24 countries and more than 422 million Arab language speakers in the Middle East.
