[ ABOUT THE BOOK ] Euphrates Expedition Book by John S Guest | John Guest's history recounts the British Euphrates expedition, a little-known voyage undertaken in the early days of steam travel. Funded by the British government and the East India Company, the venture sought to use technology to pursue a geopolitical objective: halting Russian expansion in the Near East, which some observers considered a threat to India. It also aimed to assess whether the Euphrates could serve as a commercial route between Britain and India, as the novelist and East India Company employee Thomas Love Peacock believed, and to survey the river's navigability. | Commanded by Francis Chesney, an artillery officer turned explorer, the expedition used two iron-hulled paddle steamers. Built at Birkenhead, the vessels were shipped in sections to the Syrian coast, carried by wagon to the Euphrates, then assembled and launched. They travelled an uncharted waterway in a region where steam locomotion had not previously been seen. (LL).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Russia In Flux is a comprehensive analysis of the political, economic, and social changes that have taken place in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Written by John Maynard, an expert in Russian studies, the book provides a detailed account of the key events and trends that have shaped Russia's development over the past three decades.The book begins by examining the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent transition to a market economy. Maynard explores the challenges that Russia faced in this period, including hyperinflation, corruption, and the rise of organized crime. He also discusses the role of the oligarchs, the emergence of a new political class, and the impact of these changes on ordinary Russians.The book then turns to the political landscape of modern Russia, focusing on the rise of Vladimir Putin and his consolidation of power. Maynard examines Putin's policies and their impact on Russia's economy, society, and international relations. He also discusses the challenges facing Russia today, including demographic decline, corruption, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.Throughout the book, Maynard draws on a wide range of sources, including interviews with Russian officials and experts, as well as statistical data and historical analysis. He provides a nuanced and balanced perspective on Russia's complex and evolving situation, making this book an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand this important and often misunderstood country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First Published in 1987 The Yezidis: A Study in Survival traces the origin of Yezidi community's religion, describes the discovery of the people by Western travellers in the early nineteenth century and details the Yezidi community's traumatic history and their status in the 80s. The Yezidi religious group is spread out over Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and erstwhile USSR and have retained their identity for over 500 years. The Yezidi's believe that Lucifer, the fallen angel, has been forgiven by God and reinstated as chief angel: their history is, like their faith, characterized by dignity and survival in the face of great odds. Chapters also cover Sultan Abdul Hamid's cruel but vain efforts to force the Yezidis to embrace Islam, leading to the emergence of Mayan Khatun, a strong-willed Yezidi princess who ruled the community from 1913-1958. They include vivid account of her rivalry with her brother Ismail and the ill-fated marriage between her son and his daughter. The final chapter describes the community in Soviet Armenia and Georgia. This book is a must read for students of Middle East studies and Middle East history.…
