2 issues. Folio (209 x 278 mm). Original self-wrappers. September and December 1979 editions of the newsletter published by the Kuwaiti Embassy in London in the midst of the oil crisis and featuring H.H. Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah (1926-2006) on both front pages. Published in English, the newsletter is dedicated to the Kuwaiti perspective on the 1979 crisis, a visit by the Public Health Minister to the Emir of Bahrain, H.H. Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, to discuss the improvement of health services in the Arab world, the first visit by a Kuwaiti minister to Iran "since the revolution", and numerous updates on the oil industry and infrastructure development. The latter includes the news that the government has taken over private shareholding in the Kuwait Oil Tanker Co., as part of a larger transition of the Kuwait Oil Company from private to government hands, a loan to finance the Bomoni-Moya Road project, and all-important trends in crude oil production and prices, including statements by OAPEC on the crisis. Taken together, a fascinating summary of the state of foreign relations between Gulf states and the oil industry at the close of the 1970s. - In excellent condition.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Original printed wraps 17x24cm. 19pp Arabic + 17pp English translated by Dr Zein Eddin A. Ghunaimy, Assistant Geography Professor, Kuwait University, with b/w maps and photos. Very good with presentation ink stamp to the Arabic title page. Part of a series of papers issued jointly by the Geography Department of Kuwait University, and the Kuwait Geographical Society. Its Editorial Board included the University's Head of Geography Dr Abdullah Al-Ghunaim, and KGS President Ibrahim Al-Shatti. They published papers of direct interest to countries in the Arabian Gulf, as well as more general and widely applicable studies. These were either prepared in Kuwait, or translated from other sources usually by Geography Department staff with a new introduction. This study drew on previous work, and a field visit in 1971. Evidence from shells and sand depoisits in the SW of the island indicate that they developed as a result of rising sea levels in the post-glacial period and possible subsidence at the head of the Gulf. The results are tentative and need more research.
