In his childhood, Tammuz watched a film about the life of a young boy, and through it he was surprised at how much cinema can convey human lives and their details: “There is someone far away who lives just like me!” Since that time, he became fond of films, and their heroes became friends with whom he lived. In his youth, he traveled to Dubai, to collect money and realize his dream of studying cinema, but he became immersed in the worlds of sex and money and moved away from his dream, until the revolution and then the war broke out in Syria, when he woke up from his nightmare and realized that hundreds of films were waiting for him in his homeland to wake them from their slumber.

This book deals with anticipating the future of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi through analyzing the past and evaluating the present
And developing a vision for the future, which is done by identifying the different methodologies for dealing with possible scenarios by stating the facts and presenting statistics and the most important problems facing the economy of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in light of the current regional and international challenges and political and economic changes, and presenting proposals for developing solutions to these problems so that they can be applied on the ground with the capabilities available and searching for alternative sources to develop non-oil revenues that help the emirate’s national income to compensate for the shortfall due to the decline in the price of oil, which is considered the most important pillar of the economic entity and a major determinant of the paths of economic and social development that the region has witnessed during recent decades in order to create a diversified and sustainable economy that matches or exceeds its counterpart in other economies. Comparable developed countries globally, such as the economies of Norway, Ireland and Singapore, must therefore adopt an unconventional productive economic model away from total dependence on oil so that it constitutes the real fence that protects the development process and ensures its sustainability.
In his book “Mirrors,” Eduardo Galeano retells the history of human civilization in his own way, condensing what he finds exciting, funny, and worthy of attention through brief, precise passages that give the reader the opportunity to connect with the events and facts he reads, as if history were resurrected before him. The author adopts a cornological path in narrating a history based on bitter paradoxes, and stops at cities, personalities, events, and inventions that constituted milestones in human history. This is how we see him moving lightly between various topics; Such as female circumcision, silkworms, beer, Santa Claus, tango, the torture instruments of the Inquisition. But through the illusion of dispersion, he somehow makes history more logical and full of bitter irony. With extreme selectivity and absolute freedom, Galeano, with his extensive knowledge, chooses the points that stand out to him that seemed to him pivotal in the path of humanity, specifically the forgotten events or people that the dominant narrative of history ignored and wanted to erase from collective memory, as if he was saying to the world: “See your true face reflected in... Mirror".
