    I don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.

    Still current today

    Written in the mid 50's, a doctoral candidate and his new wife spend 3 years living in a house as the Guest of The Sheik. While he is doing his research, his wife learns her way around the culture and language. She is gradually accepted and treated as one of the girls.The couple were sad to leave and but happy to return to modern conveniences. You were given an insite into village life in Iraq. I think much stays the same, if not in the big cities at least in the remote areas.

    Guests of the Sheik

    I needed this book for an Adult Fast Track Anthropology class. I have just started reading it right now and it has been interesting. I always enjoy reading about life in different countries.

    Guests of the Sheik by Elizabeth Warnock Fernea (1969)

    The book is okay. The only reason i bought it was b.c it was needed for an assignment in class. However, the book does give a lot of insight on certain customs within the middle east.
