Colbert Held, a U.S. geographer who experienced firsthand and studied every country during his years of service in the region, has revised and updated his classic work while retaining the basic, well-received framework of past editions. Held examines the Middle East from a topical and then a regional, country-by-country perspective. A thoughtful consideration of the physical environment lays the groundwork for emphasis on cultural-political and geopolitical patterns, which are the essence of the study. Middle East Patterns has been widely commended for its careful balance in analyzing the several geopolitical problems of the area, notably the disputes regarding Israel and Palestine. Richly illustrated with 70 clear maps-virtually all hand drawn exclusively for this book-as well as over 100 photographs, Middle East Patterns now includes new, post-9\/11 history and insight. Held addresses the ramifications of the Iraq war and includes a special new section specifically on terrorism. Students of the region will again welcome this fine resource for their coursework.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50293478326545,"sku":"CIN0813341701G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813341701.jpg?v=1750818928"},{"product_id":"middle-east-patterns-student-economy-edition-6th-edition-book-colbert-held-9780813350202","title":"Middle East Patterns, Student Economy Edition, 6th Edition","description":"Westview Press is pleased to offer a new, paperback  Student Economy Edition of our best-selling title,  Middle East Patterns  This Student Economy Edition contains the same material as the sixth edition of  Middle East Patterns  (ISBN: 9780813348773)- the same text, the same figures, and the same page numbers- and is available to own for about the same price as renting the print book.Now in its sixth edition,   Middle East Patterns  continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative geographical study of the region.
