Renowned as the largest oil-producing nation in the world, Saudi Arabia is today the economic hub of the gulf. Less well-known is the fact that much of this vast oil revenue has been channeled into developing the nation’s infrastructure and building a social and economic system to support future generations. This, coupled with the government’s emphasis on diversification for the long term, makes Saudia Arabia one of the most important export markets in the world - a land of opportunity for those ready to venture into the heart of Arabia. *Essential tips on where to stay and how to

This anonymous tale, published by Olympia in the later years, is an insect’s-eye view of amorous contests held in a village, also observing the general activities, as it were. Our eyewitness keeps us close to the action, but casts an intriguingly detached eye, unless he sees fit to aid in the congress.

This classic novel, sometimes attributed to one "James Jennings," was published by Olympia in the firm’s later incarnations. Eveline: is 18, beautiful, aristocratic, intelligent, and uppermost in the minds of male admirers. This young student sweeps readers along in her tales of erotic pleasure with the lascivious Major General, the prodigiously endowed stable-hand, and the splendid but stern Inspector General. This tale of a girl’s sexual rites of passage is audacious, surprising, and blazingly erotic-- as one review puts it, though that’s hardly the whole story. The M

Seton Lloyd’s lively account of Turkey’s early history is for the ever- increasing number of people visiting the ancient sites of this fabled land. Written by an archaeologist who has spent much of his life in the Near East, the book is not a conventional "guide" to the antiquities of Anatolia, nor is it a textbook. It is instead Lloyd’s attempt to share his profound interest in an antique land, its inhabitants, and the surviving monuments that link the present to the past. Lloyd traces the many different cultures that have been a part of Turkey from prehistoric times to the

This is the true story of Chiang Yee, a renowned writer, artist, and worldwide traveler, best known for the Silent Traveller series--stories of England, the United States, Ireland, France, Japan, and Australia--all written in his humorous, delightfully refreshing, and enlightening literary style. More than a recounting of extraordinary accomplishments, Da Zheng uncovers Yee’s encounters with racial exclusion and immigration laws, displacement, exile, and the pain and losses he endured hidden behind a popular public image.
