Abu Dhabi is a new economic superpower that will soon wield enormous influence across both developing and developed worlds. The principal emirate of the United Arab Emirates federation commands over 8 percent of global oil reserves, has nearly $1 trillion in sovereign wealth funds to invest and is busily implementing a thoughtful economic master plan. It has also pumped huge amounts of money into culture, sport and infrastructural development in an attempt to eclipse even its ubiquitous UAE partner--Dubai--as an international household name. Abu Dhabi will host the Formula One Championship decider in 2009, is opening the world's first Ferrari theme park, has a rapidly expanding airline and is setting up satellite branches of the Guggenheim and Louvre museums. Gulf expert Christopher Davidson's book charts the emirate's remarkable trajectory from its origins as an eighteenth-century sheikhdom to its present position on the cusp of preeminence. Abu Dhabi's impressive socio-economic development, he offers a frank portrayal of a dynasty's dramatic survival, demonstrating the newfound resilience of a traditional monarchy in the twenty-first century and its efforts to create a system of "tribal capitalism" that incorporates old political allegiances into modern engines of growth. Finally, he turns his attention to a number of problems that may surface to impede economic development and undermine political stability. These include an enfeebled civil society and invasive media censorship, a seemingly unsolvable labour nationalisation paradox, an underperforming education sector, and increasing federal unrest.

Broke in less than a week.
We got this less than a week ago and the handle is already broken. No one dropped it or hit it with a hammer. It broke being washed in the sink.

Much more than a pizza maker
This is more than a pizza maker. There are 15 different settings that makes this a great air fryer. I will probably not use all of the features but it gives me options for if I choose to. The size was a little surprising because it is bigger than expected, however I just replaced it with my old air fryer. This has great levels of heat, easy to clean and gives alot of versatility.

This thing is AWKWARDLY HUGE but AWESOME!
Let me start by saying that this is not a pizza oven. It's an air fryer that also works as a pizza oven. You can do everything you do with an air fryer here. I'm gonna be honest: This thing is AWKWARDLY HUGE. We spend some time trying to figure out where to put it after realizing the size. You can cook a frozen pizza or a fresh one, with great results. But, again, you'll be able to bake, broil, roast and more. I love it has space enough for chicken wings and vegetables. My air fryer is tiny so this one gives me great advantage. Once you move on from the fact that it's difficult to store in your kitchen, you'll love it. Really easy to use: set timer and press start. After use, you can remove the tray and wash it in the sink. Don't forget to check the instruction manual for recipes and tricks on how to master this thing.
