520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. This book is the outcome of nearly a decade of teaching and research, in the course of which we have received much practical assistance and generous hospitality from numerous friends and associates in various parts of the Middle East and North Africa. We hope that their kindness will be rewarded at least in some measure by any contribution we may make to a better understanding of the problems and aspirations of the people of the region. We are equally indebted to many colleagues in this country, notably to Professor W. B. Fisher, Head of the Department of Geography, and Professor H. Bowen-Jones, Director of the Centre for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies in the University of Durham who have done so much to foster Middle East studies. We are grateful to the Centre for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and other institutions which have enabled us to conduct fieldwork in the Middle East on many occasions.
