Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on August 20, 1937)

Happy Birthday to the brilliant RoseMarie Said Zahlan! Your historical insights have illuminated our understanding of Qatar's creation, the modern Gulf states, and technology transfer in the Arab world. Honestly, your books are so timeless that even history itself takes notes from you!

Whether you're unraveling complex histories or crafting compelling articles, you've always managed to make academia look effortlessly cool. We suspect libraries secretly throw parties whenever a new publication of yours arrives.

Here's wishing you another year filled with fascinating discoveries and endless inspiration—because let's face it: historians like fine wine only get better with age! Cheers!
