@mohamedmuharram @sam1rsm1 Thank you for the very kind words! Feel free to contact me - my info is on my website: nancyum.com

@NancyUm1 @sam1rsm1 Sure, Nancy, I will. I like your work a lot. I taught one of your chapters. We may be in touch via my personal email melhami2010@gmail.com or my university email muharram@uni-bremen.de.
