Unfortunately, it looks twice the price in the US, I suppose that's the US textbook market for you, but I'm sure you can pick it up second hand, the editions are broadly the same, and if it's just you doing it for lesson plans/copying the odd section (you can photocopy up to 10% of a book here in the UK), then that'll be fine.
I also second Hourani, and want to mention his protege, Eugene Rogan's book simply entitled "the Arabs", published by penguin (uk) and basic (us). A bit of an update on Hourani's no less impressive text.
