The hero cycles of Arabic belong to the literary tradition of The Arabian Nights and can be seen as the popular epics of their civilization. The Arabian Epic covers ten of the main representatives of this genre. Each of these has been developed through the processes of oral storytelling through an accumulation of narrative and folklore motifs, many of which belong to what can be seen as a universal tradition. This work is published in three volumes. The first volume introduces the background and the dimensions in which the cycles are set, while the second volume analyzes their contents and the literary formulae used in their construction, as well as listing analogues found in other literatures. The examples surveyed in the final volume provide non-Arabists with a more immediate insight into the contents of the cycles, drawing attention to their narrative coloring and texture.

The Arabian epic
Saw this author in the DVD "11th Hour." He discusses the difference between living on "current sunlight" and "ancient sunlight."
Current sunlight is the energy we are currently receiving each day from the sun to our food source, etc. Most of our human history involved living with "current sunlight."
Since the Industrial Revolution, we have used "ancient sunlight. Ancient sunlight is the energy stored in the earth from fossil fuels, etc. Ancient sunlight is not an unlimited resource and has supported a human population explosion. He states that by using "current sunlight," the earth could support maybe 1/2 to 1 billion people. And the increase in our bloated population is conributing to our environmental problems.
Here's a Gore vidal quote used in the book:
"Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. either the host dies, or the [parasite] dies, or both die."
The author also discusses our view of nature. We can realize that we ARE nature, and that viewpoint will dictate how we treat our environment. When we see ourselves as "separate" from nature, we think of nature as a resource to be exploited.
