The early Islamic Middle East was governed by a series of dynastic powers called "Caliphates". Each caliphate was eventually run out by a new power. My primary interest in the caliphates are the Umayyads and the 'Abbasids. Especially the latter, this was considered the "Glory of the Middle East".

Lazy-ness prevails...
I have been a bit lax the past couple of days on my reading. I have been running around trying to get things together for my upcoming trip (leave the 19th) and for my grandma's birthday, which was today. I intend to finish The House of Wisdom over the weekend. Look for a review soon!
