Iran is rarely out of the headlines, and there is likely to be a rush of interest from tourists and investors if the provisional framework agreement reached in April 2015 is implemented, lifting most sanctions in exchange for limits on its nuclear program for at least ten years. Western fascination with Iran is nothing new. For centuries, foreigners have been entranced by a country that is quite distinct from all others in the region. Iran is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations. Travelers have long been seduced by the echoes of the extraordinary ancient history contained in the word "e;Persia."e; But Iran is also a modern society that is experiencing great change. Although it is still feeling the effects of the Islamic Revolution of 1979, social restrictions have loosened considerably in recent years. Strict Islamic rules coexist with an increasingly dynamic society driven by an overwhelmingly young population. Animosity toward the West at a political level sits side-by-side with a wholehearted welcome for foreigners as individuals. Culture Smart! Iran takes you beyond the clichés to show how life in Iran really is and how you can feel comfortable in its society. It offers insights into a country full of surprises. Despite Iran's deep commitment to Islam, the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian past is still part of everyday culture. Its language, Farsi, shares linguistic roots with English and French. It is a country where one of the more genuine democracies in the Middle East is overlaid by an unelected theocracy. And where "e;no thank you"e; really does sometimes mean "e;yes please."e; If nothing else, this entrancing, beautiful, and sometimes infuriating place is a country whose inhabitants genuinely wish visitors Khosh amadi!-Welcome!

Personal IntroductionFor people that matured in the early to mid 90's, you may recollect how life through the period, variation was taking place in Europe and the internet was preliminary and beginning to cultivate. During that period, I wrote about occurrences and people that impacted the world. This book is a collection of those works, some are personal and some are not. No matter the motivation, I am arranging my personal thoughts for everyone to examine.The book became this edition, updated in early March of 2020 as to complement my first novel published in early July of 2020. The new edition provides insight regarding the reason and logic behind each of the works.The project spanned nearly 20 years and encapsulates many of the emotions that we as human beings deal with and the consequences of life and the struggles in our lives daily. Sometimes obscure and other times light tempered, however the emotion of this work is and was real. This work originally created between the years of 1991 and 1994 inspired by my youthful views of the world around me. Please let me explain a few of the elements that you may encounter and question through reading "The Chair." First off, the Chair itself represents the place I write, my stand in front of the world. The 316 represents the number of times I will fail to finish the book as obviously the book had not finalized until 2016 and a full edit professionally did not occur until 2020.The book may seem dark and disturbing to many who will read it. The reader must understand that during this time, I was far-removed from home; learning and inventing the man I would later in life become. The constant talk of pain and sorrow, or hate reflects what we see in the world every day. Little of the media provides hopeful or inspiration and as a young man in Washington D.C. at the time I was a casualty of the world around me. Many of the works talk of God and religion, as a Christian I found my solace in faith to help me get through the times of hardship.The book inspired by my faith as well; God has a certain strong place in my heart. Some may see this work as a blasphemy against the Lord but I believe that every person has their own personal relationship with the Lord and I will let him judge me for the work.The ChairBy Stuart Lee Williams No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise without the prior permission of the author.A personal reflection on religion and life as accounted by a young man far from home and the ones he loved.
