Allotment Stories showcases how Indigenous peoples have consistently used creativity to sustain collective ties, kinship relations, and cultural commitments in the face of privatization. At once informing readers while provoking them toward further research into Indigenous resilience, this collection pieces back together some of what the forces of allotment have tried to tear apart.

The edited book examines the specific structural conditions that shape people's lives in the Arab region, from the effects of imperialism, settler colonialism and the neo-liberalization of economies, to racial capitalism, securitization, and embedded patriarchal ideologies and structures. The authors of the book chapters assess the implications of these different dynamics on undertaking research and examine their own daily lives, the lives of their interlocutors, and the practices of their field.

The paper trace back the history of the Palestinian refugees’ camps in Syria from 1948 until today. It aims to investigate the fate of such camps amidst of the so-called Arab Spring. Despite their hardship as diaspora, Palestinian refugees in Syria worked hard to manage their lives, with help from Syrian Government and United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA). Since 2011, the Palestinian refugee camps witnessed various military actions from both the Syrian Army and oppositions groups. These actions resulted in the killing, imprisonment, and dispersal of most Palestinian refugees. In addition, their dispersal took place either inside Syria to neighboring countries or other parts of the World. These actions resulted in the killing, imprisonment, and dispersal of most Palestinian refugees.

Climate change is a worldwide problem that is facing the globe in different aspects. To investigate this phenomenon, research has been conducted to check whether climate change is affecting the western part of Jerusalem Governorate or not. Long-term data on annual, seasonal and monthly rainfall were collected from different sources and analyzed for long-term monthly and annual trends. Results showed significant (p< 0.05) decrease in the annual rainfall, with about 7.3 mm decadal reduction during 1850-2018.

This study aimed at analysis of the general-index change for the mean annual and seasonal precipitation in six stations in Latakia Governorate (Syria). The data of precipitation were collected for 40 consecutive years (1970–2010) in order to figure out the extent of the changes and variability in precipitation rates and the impact of this change on changes in the potential density that might cause extremely high or low precipitation rates according to Gumbel distribution of the extreme precipitation rates. Results revealed a decrease of the annual precipitation rates in all stations, the reduction in precipitation ranged from 46 to 210 mm during the whole period of the study.

This study investigated English language students’ preferences and beliefs about online vs. face-to- face learning at Birzeit University. Quantitative findings revealed that students manifested more positive beliefs about face-to-face than online learning. However, students expressed more comfort through online speaking with others, which might be an indication for future preferences to online learning.
