In this book, Saudi writer and translator Hamad Al-Issa compiles a selection of translated texts from English to Arabic, together with summarized studies he authored to accompany them at the start of each chapter. These texts are diverse cultural materials in politics, history, society, literature, science, art, and psychiatry. The book begins with an introduction by Dr. Galal Amin titled: Politics as Ethics. This is followed by twelve texts, starting with a topic on Malcolm X, including a biography and translations of eighteen texts from his interviews, statements, and speeches, along with commentary. Then comes Noam Chomsky's conversation with the fiery British host Tim Sebastian on his well-known show "Hardtalk." Next is a biography of Ralph Nader or "America's Fiercest Client," including translations of six important texts of his. The translator then takes us to the esteemed American historian Howard Zinn for an enjoyable journey analyzing events in modern American history and politics, linking them with Uncle Sam’s choices in Iraq. We then almost listen to Czech President Václav Havel as he delivers a farewell speech to politics in the US, returning to culture. We peruse some amazing scraps from rare letters by the genius Albert Einstein on important topics such as the Arab-Jewish conflict, the nuclear bomb, war and peace, and intellectual freedom. We reach the rebellious Isabel Allende and her bold conversation with American broadcaster Bill Moyers about her autobiography "My Invented Country." This is followed by a musical biography of the legendary late singer Bob Marley, and a discussion about Philip Borqueirs: the head of a giant American company who succumbed to suicidal depression and how it ended for him. We then trace back the details of Charles Darwin's return to American courts due to the theory of evolution which recently faced off fiercely against "intelligent design" in a provocative case that occupied the American and indeed Western scientific and cultural community. The new edition includes an engaging chapter titled "Bill Gates.. The Other Face," featuring a long interview with him about his philosophy of donating most of his wealth (95%), over fifty billion dollars, to charity. Finally, we read the story of American poet Beth Minoska Binger with her Saudi neighbors when she lived in Dhahran, the woman who surpassed all the lies and claims of politics to reach the essence of the matter, which is "that in the end, true human emotions are one, and what unites people in compassion is based on our common need for love and kindness," expressed Dr. Galal Amin about this noble-spirited woman who made a historical stance by stating: "Blind fanaticism encourages terrorism. Blaming Islam or Saudi Arabia for terrorism is a reckless and dangerous attempt to give the enemy a face and a name. Terrorism has no face, name, or country. The illusion of security should not be marketed by accusing the innocent." Publishing house: Arab Scientific Publishers/Lebanon Number of Pages: 311 Year of publication: 2010
