Oggi più che mai, la storia del Medio Oriente è quella del mondo intero e ogni riflessione che lo riguarda, per quanto indiretta, si rivela uno specchio della nostra civiltà. Per riuscire a intravedere il futuro attraverso il passato, Robert Kaplan ritorna al genere più congeniale al suo modo di vivere e raccontare la geografia: il viaggio e il reportage, intesi come «l’arte di superare la prima impressione». Oggetto di questa nuova avventura è il Grande Medio Oriente, ovvero, in senso lato, la regione islamica del deserto e delle pianure, la vasta area che va dal Marocco al Turkestan orientale, fino a lambire la Cina; dai Balcani allo Yemen; dalla realtà della Libia a quella dell’Afghanistan. Tra scoperte e memorie, la narrazione si dipana lungo l’Egitto, l’Etiopia, l’Arabia Saudita, l’Iraq e l’Iran. Mescolando i ricordi delle sue tante esplorazioni alle letture di esperti, storici e scrittori, Kaplan rievoca epoche e paesaggi, muovendosi agilmente tra realtà locali complesse, forte di un’unica certezza: «attraversare un paese, annusarne gli odori, guardare come si comportano le persone, non offre risposte definitive, ma aiuta. Permette di toccare con mano il terreno, per non lasciare che i luoghi reali si dissolvano e diventino astratti». Questo sguardo si rivela fecondo, capace di riflettere su eventi e scenari, millenni e dinastie, caos e imperi, senza esaurire ma moltiplicando gli interrogativi: «Quale direzione prenderà il corso delle cose? Quali dimensioni politiche assumerà questa vasta regione che occupa gran parte della fascia subtropicale tra l’Europa e l’Estremo Oriente? Riuscirà a tirarsi fuori da decenni di instabilità e malgoverno e a trovare un compromesso tra la tirannia da un lato e l’anarchia dall’altro?».

'Outstanding, illuminating, compelling ... a riveting read' Peter Frankopan, Sunday Times Islamic civilization was once the envy of the world. From a succession of glittering, cosmopolitan capitals, Islamic empires lorded it over the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and swathes of the Indian subcontinent. For centuries the caliphate was both ascendant on the battlefield and triumphant in the battle of ideas, its cities unrivalled powerhouses of artistic grandeur, commercial power, spiritual sanctity and forward-looking thinking. Islamic Empires is a history of this rich and diverse civilization told through its greatest cities over fifteen centuries, from the beginnings of Islam in Mecca in the seventh century to the astonishing rise of Doha in the twenty-first. It dwells on the most remarkable dynasties ever to lead the Muslim world - the Abbasids of Baghdad, the Umayyads of Damascus and Cordoba, the Merinids of Fez, the Ottomans of Istanbul, the Mughals of India and the Safavids of Isfahan - and some of the most charismatic leaders in Muslim history, from Saladin in Cairo and mighty Tamerlane of Samarkand to the poet-prince Babur in his mountain kingdom of Kabul and the irrepressible Maktoum dynasty of Dubai. It focuses on these fifteen cities at some of the defining moments in Islamic history: from the Prophet Mohammed receiving his divine revelations in Mecca and the First Crusade of 1099 to the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 and the phenomenal creation of the merchant republic of Beirut in the nineteenth century.

A witty, conversational, and accessible tour of math's profoundest mysteries. Mathematical symbols, for mathematicians, store worlds of meaning, leap continents and centuries. But we need not master symbols to grasp the magnificent abstractions they represent, and to which all art aspires. Through language, anyone can come to delight in the works of mathematical art, which are among our kind's greatest glories. Taking the concept of infinity, in its countless guises, as a starting point and a helpful touchstone, the founders of Harvard's pioneering Math Circle program Robert and Ellen Kaplan guide us through the “Republic of Numbers,” where we meet both its upstanding citizens and its more shadowy dwellers, explore realms where only the imagination can go, and grapple with math's most profound uncertainties, including the question of truth itself-do we discover mathematical principles, or invent them?

Massoud written by Marcela Grad and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Author and translator Marcela Grad explores the life of the late Afghan leader, Ahmad Shah Massoud, through personal stories told to her by those who accompanied Massoud during his struggle to liberate Afghanistan from the Soviet invasion and the Taliban, and by others from around the world who knew and helped Massoud. Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated by Al Qaeda suicide bombers posing as journalists just two days before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It is widely believed that Massoud was killed to help pave the way for 9/11. Today, Massoud is considered the national hero of Afghanistan and the September 9th anniversary of his death is a national holiday there. Grad spent over four years interviewing a diverse group of Afghans who were commanders, members of the mujahideen, personal secretaries, envoys, women of the resistance, and members of Massoud’s family.

Considering the history of workers' and socialist movements in Europe, Frontier Socialism focuses on unconventional forms of anti-capitalist thought, particularly by examining several militant-intellectuals whose legacy is of particular interest for those aiming for a radical critique of capitalism. Following on the work of Michael Löwy, Quirico & Ragona identify relationships of “elective affinity” between figures who might appear different and dissimilar, at least at first glance: the German Anarchist Gustav Landauer, the Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai, the German communist Paul Mattick, the Italian Socialist Raniero Panzieri, the Greek-born French euro-communist Nikos Poulantzas, the German-born Swedish Social Democrat Rudolf Meidner, and the French social scientist Alain Bihr as well as two historical struggle experiences, the Spanish Republic and the Italian revolutionary group “Lotta continua”. Frontier Socialism then analyzes these thinkers' and experiences’ respective paths to socialism based on and achieved through self-organization and self-government, not to build a new tradition but to suggest a path forward for both research and political activism.
