By SAID M. AHMED, PE, PhD
Perceptions of an Egyptian Immigrant, Egypt’ Hope for Evolution is the second “author’s perceptions” book—it provides the reader with a glimpse of Egyptian life, education and culture, resources and hope for evolution. Dr. Ahmed describes the simple life in Egypt and the good education before ruling military families replaced royal and elite families in the 1950s. He observed good and bad developments such as increase in the number of poorly prepared schools resulting in decline in public education’ quality, increase of illiteracy, bad manners, corruption, hardships, wide gap between rich and poor and defiance of law and order. Dr. Ahmed has a dream that Egypt will crown its old glory with return of morality and quality education programs that improve its human resources’ confidence, skills, attitudes and capabilities to face the new world circumstances. Egypt can provide light and enlightenment for its citizens and the citizens of surrounding countries.Egypt has many good and well-educated citizens and some successful enterprises, but not enough for steady evolution and sustainable progress. Egypt is rich with many resources, especially human resources and appearance of poverty is due to mismanagement, corruption and waste. The book discusses untapped resources for support of public education and emphasizes the importance of freedom, good upbringing of children, consistent quality education and training—from the moment of the child’s birth through adulthood. Growing Egyptian population is an asset and must evolve and guided to get out of the overcrowded Nile valley and develop new life and settlements in Sinai, Eastern and Western deserts and expand the economy. The book discusses the impacts of political, economic and social models in retarding Egyptian progress during the last 50 years. Dr. Ahmed hopes that new world circumstances persuade Egyptian, Arab and Muslim states’ leaders and their public to eliminate corruption, dictatorships and sub-dictatorships—and establish a federation of democratic Muslim states compatible with their citizens’ beliefs. He has a dream that Arab and Muslim states including Egypt will adopt freedom of mind, freedom of movement, freedom of trade, and freedom of volunteerism. The United States of America, with its diversified population, is a successful example of an established democracy and a federation of fifty states, which can provide valuable lessons for Muslim countries. To stabilize the Middle East and enhance global trade and overcome terror, America and Europe must encourage and support establishment of democratic Muslim states federation—and should send armies of professionals to interact and transfer agricultural, industrial, information and management technologies in the Arab and Muslim states. Diplomacy, soft power, kindness and interaction, cooperation and passion are effective tools for establishing mutual trust and win-win results under most circumstances. A federation of Islamic states can evolve, progress and prosper and earn the respect and recognition of the rest of the world based on accomplishments worthy of respect. Let us pray for expediting world peace and prosperity.

Mirror Images and Keys of Connection have been written from the heart by Barbara V Steele, it is an account of several years investigation into certain synchronicities- namely – the Pleiades. If you are looking for a light interesting read and want to be taken back in time, or even if you just have an interest in Astronomy, Sacred Sites, Mythology and Egypt then this could be a book for you. A truly thought provoking read and insight into possible connections that I have been able to piece together and my love of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti.
