1. The first axis: is what the city of (Mosul) Al-Hadbaa was subjected to in terms of total destruction at the hands of the barbarians of the modern era and terrorist organizations that destroyed all the archaeological and historical monuments in the city.
2. The second axis: is to introduce future generations to the history of our dear province of Kirkuk (the city of brotherhood). In turn, the university president commended Dr. Essam for his outstanding efforts in writing books, wishing him more scientific brilliance.
