|  | The Stakes by Shibley Telhami
Could the United States defeat Al-Qaeda but still lose the broader war on terrorism? In THE STAKES: America and the Middle East, Shibley Telhami, one of America`s most in-demand commentators on the Middle East, provides a concise and penetrating analysis that explains Arab and Muslim attitudes toward the United States and shows why there is much reason for concern. In an insightful, passionate, yet balanced analysis, Telhami provides new perspectives on the collapse of Palestinian-Israeli negotiations and the attending escalation of violence. He shows why the Arab-Israeli conflict remains central to the war on terrorism and to international stability, and considers American policy toward Iraq and the Persian Gulf. He demonstrates the need for political change in the region`s oil states and suggests how best to achieve it. The Stakes provides a well-reasoned, calm analysis that will be essential reading for anyone who wonders where America should go from here, amid the dangers and opportunities in the ever-volatile Middle East.

 | Recipes & Remembrances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen by Sonia Uvezian
The author of this cookbook/memoir remembers life as she lived it as a girl in Beirut, particularly at the family summer house in Bekaa Valley, one of the world's most fertile agricultural areas. Recalling both hard work and blissful idleness, she uses her own background to enhance the recipes, which are culled from a long tradition of Arab cooking. They include the classics, such as kibbeh and roast lamb, and more unusual dishes: Baked Fish with Walnut Stuffing, Semolina Pudding with Cheese, and a red pepper paste that is supposed to be dried on the roof in the sun for five days (but can be done in the oven if necessary).
