Some Good Choices For Literature and Film About the Middle East

Looking for literature about the conflict in the Middle East? Some of us feel so far removed from the situation that it is hard to understand how these people really live. This last year, we can measure how much we truly want to understand the issues by the great success of the movie, "Slumdog Millionaire." For those of you out there still curious and wanting to know more about the lives of those people on both sides of the issue, here are some books you may want to consider reading.

As a young adult piece of literature, the book "Samir and Yonatan," by Daniella Carmi, can do a great job teaching adults the power of friendship. An Israeli boy and a Palestinian boy grow to be friends while they both stay at an Israeli hospital. It shows us to look at our enemies differently and see them as real people with pains and sorrows as well. Another great book for youth is "A Little Piece of Ground," by Elizabeth Laird. This shows how the conflict is affecting children and how they possibly think about their place in all of it. Sandy Tolan's "The Lemon Tree," offers some non-fiction reading of the daily struggles of the Palestinian people. This has even inspired a movie about the stories about the separations among the Israelis and Palestinians and how that separation affect lives on both sides of the wall.

These are just some choices in literature and film if you are interested in learning more about the struggles that go on half way across the world. It is hard to understand sometimes when we live such a good life. Reading the stories of these people will often put our lives in perspective, teach us to be thankful and inspire us to create a change for a better life.

Trade Show Choices: Literature Racks

In a world of portable displays that popup out of duffle bags and graphic screens that roll up in seconds there is not much one can do with your all important corporate and product literature that is so important at a trade show event....until now.

There are three basic types: the all steel literature racks, all steel collapsible literature racks and the nylon roll away fabric literature racks.

All Steel Literature Racks - are made of steel usually about 4-6 feet in height and are powder coated in black or silver. These are offered in numerous configurations from flowing curved tubes like the Jazz, the Slope and the Innovate to rigid linear steel structures like the Victory and 10-Up.

All Steel Collapsible Racks are made of steel that can collapse down to a small shipping package, approximately 12 x 18 x 10 and then can expand up to 4 to 6' tall and hold numerous sets of literature in slanting racks. These types of racks, the Zed Up, Illusion and Zed Up 2 come in single and double wide versions.

Nylon Roll Away Racks are made of a combination of nylon material with retaining straps sewn in and steel rods that allow this literature rack to remain very light in weight and collapse down to a very small toteable package usually with a shoulder strap. The Reveal 1 (single width) and the Reveal 2 (double width) literature racks are samples of the nylon roll away literature racks.

You choices then are for portability (Nylon Roll Away), strength and collapsability (All Steel Collapsible Racks) and unusual appearance with strength (All Steel Racks).
