Sheikha Misnad · 1985
68/100
👎 Skip It
This is a legit scholarly work by an author who went on to lead Qatar University, and it's still cited by researchers studying Gulf education history today. Penny just has to be honest that it's dense dissertation-style academic reading, not something most general readers will pick up for pleasure.
