Extractions: Assyria first rose to prominence in the second millennium BC (roughly the period of the patriarchal stories of Gen 12ff.). However it was during the period of the Israelite kingdoms that Assyria moved out of its heartland around the Upper Tigris river (Nineveh and Assur) to control the Mesopotamian region from the mid ninth century until late in the seventh century BC. The Aramean kingdoms (especially Arpad, Hamath and Damascus ) in the West were major rivals and obstacles to Assyrian expansion. From the death of Shalmaneser III (in 824BC) till the reign of Tiglath-Pileser III (from 744BC) internal rebellion and the strength of Uratu in the North reduced Assyria's threat to the West. During this period Israel and Judah were both small kingdoms giving support either to the Assyrians or the Arameans (Syrians) and prospering or suffering according to the relative strength of these more major powers. Israel in particular often used Assyrian power to retain independence from Damascus Following the accession of Tiglath-Pileser III (744BC) a series of powerful kings gained control and thus ended Aramean threats to Mesopotamian stability. This control of a large part of the region created the first "real" empire.

Extractions: Phone: 836-2321/836-3244 SCHEDULE FALL 2005 READINGS EXERCISES OFFICE HOURS Last updated: 22 September 2005 ONLINE RESOURCES MIDDLE EAST PEACE NEWS LINKS This course introduces students to the geography of the Middle East (and North Africa). Specifically, students will learn how the geographic perspective helps us in understanding the diverse physical and human landscapes of the region stretching from Morocco through Iran, Turkey through Yemen. The geographical perspective explores environments, the arrangement of material (including symbolic) culture on the landscape, the emergence of regions and the interconnections between them, it tries to understand the relationships between people and their environments, and how those relationships change and affect a region over time. Specific emphasis will be placed on recognizing and responding to generalizations and stereotypes of the Middle East that are prevalent in the United States, misunderstandings that confound respectful and constructive interactions between the two regions. It has recently been asserted that, despite the "tremendous resources for enhancing our geographic awareness and global understanding, most Americans living in a Global Age continues to possess little more than a Stone Age awareness of the world around them (Charles Gritzner, Journal of Geography, 102:90-91, 2003)." This course is designed to excite students' geographic awareness and to encourage them to understand the importance of geography through learning about the peoples and places of the Middle East and North Africa.

The Country & People Of Tunisia In 1987 Bourguiba was deposed, on grounds of senility, by gen. Zine elAbidineBen Ali. World Travel Guide Travel information, regions places . http://www.hejleh.com/countries/tunisia.html
Extractions: For Middle East, North Africa, Arab and regional information visit Arab Countries Web hejleh.com Tunisia, Fr. Tunisie, officially Republic of Tunisia, republic (1995 est. pop. 8,880,000), 63,378 sq mi (164,150 sq km), NW Africa, bordered by Algeria (W), the Mediterranean Sea (N and E), and Libya (SE). Tunis is the capital. The Atlas Mountains in the north form a dry plateau that merges with fertile plains near the coast; in the south, below the Chott Djerid and other salt lakes, stretches the Sahara desert. The irregular coastline has several fine harbors. Agriculture, mining, energy, tourism, and manufacturing are all important to the economy. Wheat, barley, grapes, olives, sugar beets, citrus fruits, and dates are the leading crops, and petroleum and phosphates are the principal minerals. Manufactured goods include textiles, steel, and processed food. The population is largely Berber and Arab, and Islam is the dominant religion. Arabic is the official language, although French is widely spoken. History Settled in the 12th cent. BC by Phoenicians, Tunisia became (6th cent. BC) the center of the powerful city-state of Carthage, which was destroyed by Rome in 146 BC Taken by the Vandals (5th cent. AD) and the Byzantines (6th cent.), the Arabs conquered Tunisia in the 7th cent., and the Berber population was converted to Islam. The area came under a succession of Muslim rulers, reaching its peak under the Berber Hafsid dynasty (12301574). In the late 16th cent. Tunisia was seized by the Ottoman Turks, and as one of the Barbary States it became a stronghold of pirates, on whom the treasury depended for several centuries. European intervention began in the 19th cent., and in 1881 Tunisia became a French protectorate. Nationalist agitation, which first surfaced in the 1920s, became intense after World War II, and independence was achieved in 1956.
