FREE BOOKS: I've uploaded my library on Palestine/Israel to the cloud, in digital form (mostly pdf & epub): a little over 1700 books. You can download any that interest you individually, or the whole library (about 13GB). And feel free to share this. Link: drive.google.com/drive/folde…

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our former President, Dr Jaromir Malek. He became Vice-President of ASTENE in 2002 and President, after the death of Harry James, in 2010.Jaromir’s death is another great loss to ASTENE (Photo: @ the Oxford Conference, 2011)

One of my favourite Egyptian travel narratives is a satirical one by Lady Dufferin titled 'Lispings from Low Latitudes; or, extracts from The Journal of the Hon. Impulsia Gushington' - Image; 'A cheerful picnic in King Rowdedowses his Tomb...' @ASTENE1997 @IWWNetwork
