Middle Eastern History
I'm working on a curriculum for my AP World History class with a friend and it's my job to come up with resources covering Asia from 8000bc to 1450ad. I've found pretty much everything I need except for resources regarding Middle Eastern History. Do any of you know of good books that give a historical survey of the region in the time period I'm looking at? They can be online articles or books it doesn't matter.

Thanks.

So...Remember that "Star Trek Variant Map" I Brought Up Before?
I mentioned this summer that I'd like to try and work out a map for the Star Trek universe, with the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Dominion, Borg, and maybe one other race (some said leave it at six with those powers, some suggested one more race to make the usual seven) as the powers, the planets as centers/"land," and space/wormholes as the "sea" spaces. So...bringing that up to speed...

Support rules question
I have a question concerning the rules of cutting support.
Here's the hypothetical situation: I have an army in Belgium and a fleet in the North Sea. Germany has an army in Holland and an army in Ruhr. Germany orders Ruhr to Belgium supported by Holland. What happens if I convoy my army from Belgium to Holland via the North Sea? Does it cut the support or is it the same as if I attacked on land (i.e. Germany takes Belgium anyway)?

Terribly annoying?

Really, I'm just a Fool on a Hill, dreaming of being an Ubermensch, but whether that's To be or not to be, I'm just a Poor player who struts upon the stage, weighing and weighed by Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and viewing Yesterday, and The Undiscovered Country, and myself as Being in Time and Full of sound and fury, Signifying Nothing.

A student triple majoring in female anatomy, the distillation of barley and history.
Oh, since I never answered my own topic, political science/history double major with a minor in psychology. Concentrations: political theory (poli sci), secondary education (history). My psych minor will be geared toward decision-making/motivation and adolescent psychology. Try to guess what career I'm hoping for and what career is my backup. =P

"But symbiosis can't be one way, so a USO is an oxymoron."

Yes, I thought that too, but it seems that nowadays (at least in my daughter's science textbook, so take it for what it's worth) mutualism and parasitism are both subsets of symbiosis. Whether it's accurate or not, it gave me the basis for a claim that would salve my ego.

Game messages stat?
So there's this stat on my profile called "game messages." I would expect that every piece of press I send would increase this stat, but it's been sitting at 42 for a long time now. Am I misinterpreting the meaning of the stat or is it just the mystique of 42?

specifically, ask him about what to do when three advice threads pop up in the space of 24 hours. Who's to blame? Should we try bumping 'em off the first page? Will the mods ban the creators, or let us linger here in pain? Please note: I reserve the right to "pull a Thucy."
