Scales of Justice is the story of the 50-year history of Dubai Courts. Formed in 1958, the courts were somewhat revolutionary on the Trucial Coast, the pinnacle of a legal system built by the late Dubai Ruler in order to underpin the modern city-state he sought to forge. Half a century on, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has succeeded in creating a 21st century metropolis and Dubai Courts continues to serve. Scales of Justice shows the growth of the emirate, and details how the courts have underpinned Dubai’s remarkable success story.

Father of Dubai was the first authorised biography of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, late Ruler of Dubai, an honest attempt at understanding the man who, as Britain’s Independent newspaper commented; "led his pocket-sized Gulf emirate to unprecedented prosperity based not only on oil but also on trade". The boom describes the youthful Sheikh Rashid as a 'serious young man' who was groomed to be a leader by his dynamic mother, the remarkable Sheikha Hessa and his gentle father, Sheikh Saeed, the Dubai Ruler.

Rashid’s Legacy is the story of Dubai. Highlighting the arrival of the Maktoum family in the sheikhdom over 170 years ago, the book profiles the origins of the emirate from the beginning of its recorded history and through the leadership of a succession of family members. The book goes on to map an extraordinary story — that of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, renowned as being the Father of Dubai.
