Since 1996, readers relied on the Encyclopedia of the Modern Middle East for clear, authoritative background on one of the most complex and important regions of the world. With nearly 600 new entries and 1,000 updates, this second edition reflects the far-reaching changes the Middle East has undergone in recent years, making it more relevant and more necessary than ever before. Much has changed in the past eight years, and the need for information generated by the events of September 11, 2001 and the military action in Afghanistan and Iraq makes this unbiased revision essential.
The set covers the modern history of the Middle East and North Africa, with major sections on Colonialism and Imperialism, the World Wars, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the United Nations involvement in the region. Each country in the region is reviewed, detailing its population, economy and government. With 3,000 nonpartisan articles written by specialists in anthropology, history, political science, religion and social sciences, this four-volume set is an indispensable tool in understanding the region's people, places, events and ideas. |

In a nation founded on a strong work ethic, gambling has provoked controversy in American culture as an activity that encourages laziness and greed. During the past twenty years, however, legalized gambling has spread to nearly every corner of the United States and is now viewed as a mainstream, recreational activity. Essays in this anthology examine the undeniable hold gambling has on Americans and the cultural conflicts it has generated, exploring its growth from the Las Vegas Strip to Indian casinos, convenience stores, and the Internet. |

What are the cultural similarities within a country that sets it apart from others? A team of anthropologists and social scientists have taken a close look at more than 200 countries to document the myriad ways in which culture -- every bit as much as geographic borders -- defines and separates the nations of the world. Using a standard entry format for easy comparison, each country's shared values, behaviors and cultural variations are surveyed -- from foods and rituals to pastimes and arts. This 4-vol. set is lavishly illustrated with more than 1,000 photographs and more than 200 maps.

Diary of an African Journey. |

Haggard, H Rider./ 9781850654681
|
| |
|
| |
In 1914, for the first time since 1881, Sir Henry Rider Haggard returned to South Africa, the country that had fired his imagination,. He had left, in his mid-twenties, an unknown; he returned in late middle age a household name thanks to the enormous popularity of his novels such as King Solomon,s Mines and She. Touring the country as a member of the Dominions Royal Commission, Haggard found it hard to recognise the South Africa of his youth - the discovery of gold, the destruction of the Zulu kingdom, the Anglo-Boer War, had all left their mark; and, from a clutch of separate states, South Africa had become a single political entity under the banner of Union.
While the tour often rekindled Haggard,s romantic notions of Africa - notably during his visit to Southern Rhodesia and the Zimbabwe ruins and a trip through Zululand - he had changed too. He no longer regarded himself as a novelist but as a ,man of affairs,, a public servant. Neither was he the die-hard imperialist of his youth, as his views on South Africa,s future, his thoughts on the plight of the Zulu, and, perhaps most startlingly, his meeting with John Dube, the first president of the African National Congress, all reflect. Published for the first time, Diary of an African Journey: The Return of H. Rider Haggard presents a fresh picture of Haggard, often at variance with both popular and academic perceptions of his life and work. |
