Oman is the land that enchanted Marco Polo. It is the country of Sinbad the Sailor, of jinns, of ancient cities that slumber under the desert sands. The foundations of the modern Arab nation of the Sultanate of Oman were laid in 1970 by its monarch and architect, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said bin Taimur al Said, under whose watchful eye it reemerged onto the global stage and reclaimed thousands of years of its identity. Today, Oman is a modern-day oasis where the old lives in harmony with the new. People flock to its shores from all over the world for the sparkle of its beaches and the generosity of its people. The world is still discovering the magic of this ancient Arabian land, from the whiff of its legendary frankincense to the hush of its yawning deserts and the sweetness of its sticky halwa. Come immerse yourself, Oman welcomes you—marhaba!

In this gripping narrative history, Lesley Hazleton tells the tragic story at the heart of the ongoing rivalry between the Sunni and Shia branches of Islam, a rift that dominates the news now more than ever. Even as Muhammad lay dying, the battle over who would take control of the new Islamic nation had begun, beginning a succession crisis marked by power grabs, assassination, political intrigue, and passionate faith. Soon Islam was embroiled in civil war, pitting its founder's controversial wife Aisha against his son-in-law Ali, and shattering Muhammad’s ideal of unity. Combining meticulous research with compelling storytelling, After the Prophet explores the volatile intersection of religion and politics, psychology and culture, and history and current events. It is an indispensable guide to the depth and power of the Shia–Sunni split.

This book offers a positive and compelling exploration of how young south Asian women can be encouraged to study science further and to consider STEM as a career. Drawing together both intersectional and personal perspectives, the book celebrates south Asian culture, sharing the stories of these individuals, their multifaceted identities, aspirations and successes. At the micro-level, an intersectional analysis reveals complicated identity negotiations of being young, female, a science-orientated student, imigré, Muslim, a daughter and a sister, as well as how these identities might interact, nest, and shift. The chapters build on the authors' previous work in science education, developing models of science identity (Sci-ID) and women's engagement with the study of science and their aspirations for a science-based career.
