What was happening when the following quote appeared in the book, "And we still didn't know if there might be a gun tucked into his back waistband."? Who were the "Menacing Men?" What was the "return of the Sand Monster"? Why was "wine in a cage?" Who were "such odd creatures, enormously fat, they were spread out lounging with their pointed noses and long whiskers sticking out on the sides of their snouts sniffing the sea air."? Why did Carolyn feel like she'd been in Siberia for a week? How could 5 calamities happen in 1 day? And how did Carolyn nearly kill Kel? "The girls witnessed the whole thing with terrified looks just like the tourists standing there..." What did they witness? "What compelled Kel to go "over to ask the proprietor of the restaurant if they had a tornado shelter or a plan of where to go in case of a tornado."? How did B.B. "show her disdain for such an awful place."? When did Carolyn have an auditory hallucination? What made Kel exclaim, "This is dangerous!"? Where was Carolyn when she was asked, "Do you actually own a driver's license?" What state were they in when they tried to outrun a tornado? All of these questions are answered in Book 2: The Next Six Dog Vacations as you read about their "Scrapes, Scares, and Survival." (which is the title of one of the chapters) Book Two continues the saga of Bea and B.B., adopted shelter dogs, taking six more unforgettable journeys with their human companions, Kel and Carolyn. This time they road trip to Big Sur in California, through many neighboring states, and a national park, as well as shorter trips to places not too far beyond their borders and state parks close to their home in Oklahoma. This print version has even more photos than the first book in the series. There are many more photos of the dogs, more photos of Kel and Carolyn with the dogs, and lots of scenery photos as well. Captions quoted from the pages of the book enhance the photos. Seeing the many photos will help the reader visualize Bea, B.B., Kel, and Carolyn much better and see some of the places described to enhance the reading about them. These photos and their quotes are close to the actual quotes in the chapter. Kel and Carolyn called Bea and B.B. "the girls" and named all their trips with them "Dog Vacations" because they made sure to include fun outings for their beloved dogs along the way. This book includes the following in great detail with descriptions which make readers feel as if they're on these six journeys with them: what the dogs did, what their "parents" did, what they did together, where they went, what happened to them, how they felt, whom they met, and what they learned. As in Book One, when reading about their adventures you'll experience along with these human and dog travelers more joy, fun, humor, excitement, and their love for each other on these vacations which surprise and endear to the very last mile!

Current estimates indicate the presence of anywhere between 20,000 and 250,000 Sudanese refugees in Egypt. The great discrepancy in figures, a result of contradictory new reports, is an important demonstration of the way the refugee situation in Cairo is perceived by various interest groups, many of whom continue to underestimate the problems faced by the Sudanese community in Egypt.This collection of oral narratives gives voice to the everyday lives and unique struggles of a small group of refugees displaced to Egypt, in an attempt to identify their problems frequently overlooked by the media. Compiled through a series of interviews conducted by students at the American University in Cairo, the narratives are complemented by a short history of Sudanese refugees in Egypt and a theoretical study of racism against the Sudanese in the country.

An interdisciplinary exploration of the most recent research trends and directions in the humanitiesThis issue of Alif is dedicated to efforts to redefine and reorient the humanities in light of global institutional and intellectual realities. "Mapping" is construed in several ways: the more literal meaning of geographical "reorientation" in the sense of efforts to redefine the relationship between global north and south, and between Western and non-Western intellectual traditions. It also refers to the remapping of the modern university by interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work in the humanities that brings it to new shores such as the digital humanities and medical humanities. Essays map out ways for the humanities to better engage the extra-academic pressures shaping the modern university as it remains true to its own best long-standing goals and values.Editorial Board (alphabetically by last name): Omaima Abou Bakr (Cairo University)Saad Albazei (King Saud University)Gaber Asfour (Cairo University)Mohammed Berrada (University of Mohamed V) Ira Dworkin (Texas A&M University)Ziad Elmarsafy (King's College London) Sabry Hafez (SOAS, University of London) Richard Jacquemond (Aix Marseille University) Céza Kassem-Draz (AUC and Cairo University) As'ad Khairallah (American University of Beirut) Andrew N.
