First published in 1980, The Jordanians presents historical and statistical data as well as an entertaining and witty narrative that treats the reader to a peek into the Middle Eastern cultural heritage, its diversity and humanity. It shows why even after drastically changing their lifestyles to keep up with the world around them, the Arabs still cling to their traditions of humanity, compassion and hospitality.

This second edition, republished on the occasion of the 100th year of establishment of Jordan, includes a new foreword by economist and former Minister Dr. Yusuf Mansur, a new introduction, and never before seen restored pictures of Jordan during its early years as well as updated statistics.
