The content includes memoirs, medical anecdotes, legal notes, field studies and observations, historical research, social issues, documented serious facts, all of which combine to make the book a solid, comprehensive material, forming a rich and unique treasure of paradoxes and comparisons between the East and the West for the first time. (Between Two Civilizations: Paradoxes between the East and the West) It surpasses the details of Charles Dickens' (A Tale of Two Cities), between Paris and London at that time, and Rifa'a Rafi' al-Tahtawi's (The Summary of Ebriz in Summarizing Paris), and what other Arab visitors wrote about describing the West. While the influence of the West on Arabs and Muslims in the East is a description of the distant impact at the mouth, the better approach is undoubtedly living in the influential center, understanding its entrances and exits, experiencing its people, and being close to decision-makers at the source of their worldview of the world and other peoples, and how they activate this influence, cooking political recipes in London (and London is the kitchen of global politics) before activating and distributing them to the countries of the world. Britain is a relatively conservative country among European nations, with its own breaths and influences on all countries of the world, east and west, and Britain plays a central pivotal role in the paradoxes between the East and the West. The book offers deep insights into the shadow of a superpower like (Great Britain) compared to our Arab countries, and in the author's notes, there is an analysis of the origins of British society in particular, and Western society in general.
