Book excerpt: Tokharian Tales is a collection of post-futuristic seemingly science-fictional short stories set on an Earth that is being abandoned, including a love story about a scientist who falls in love with a ghost ... a romance that goes horribly wrong on the floating bridge between Hawaii and Viva-Mexico ... a story set in the Outzone, the dark underbelly of the internet ... a retro-futuristic novella about a quixotic social anarchist who dreams of spaceships during her datura trances ... storybook-tales for 67th century children about robots and replicants, osterlings and Oospheroids ... and the adventure of Shridmar Joe, Hovercipher Pro, in the most dangerous dance of a strangeous game you've ever played! Thousand years ago, the Tokharians lived in a lush oasis with orchards and vineyards where they grew gourds and peaches, melons and grapes. They had iron-smelting furnaces and Buddhist stupas. Merchants rested under mulberry trees, and in the marketplace they sold Chinese brides, Kashmir wool, Bactrian rubies and lapis-lazuli. Gone now, desert now: the oasis has dried up, and a desert wind blows sand over the shattered stupas, the stumps of mulberry trees. The Tokharians either departed or they died in the desert which overtook them. But distance yourself: the same thing is happening again as we dismantle the Earth to fly to the stars. The same desert wind blows over America, over the ruins of Santa Fe and New York City. The wats and shrines of Thailand have been unbricked, removed, and re-assembled in orbit around distant stars. Likewise, the massive Mesoamerican suntemples of Viva-Mexico have been transplanted to the jungle greens and desert sandstonewhites of other planets aroundindigo-orange stars.... About the author: Jason Murk is an existential anarchist from New Mexico who flies through the summer skies in sadhoo-tripsterly tradition in his own hovercipher. What's a hovercipher? You might as well ask what's existential anarchism - open this book and find out!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vast region stretching roughly from the Volga River to Manchuria and the northern Chinese borderlands, Central Asia has been called the "pivot of history," a land where nomadic invaders and Silk Road traders changed the destinies of states that ringed its borders, including pre-modern Europe, the Middle East, and China. In Central Asia in World History, Peter B. Golden provides an engaging account of this important region, ranging from prehistory to the present, focusing largely on the unique melting pot of cultures that this region has produced over millennia. Golden describes the traders who braved the heat and cold along caravan routes to link East Asia and Europe; the Mongol Empire of Chinggis Khan and his successors, the largest contiguous land empire in history; the invention of gunpowder, which allowed the great sedentary empires to overcome the horse-based nomads; the power struggles of Russia and China, and later Russia and Britain, for control of the area. Finally, he discusses the region today, a key area that neighbors such geopolitical hot spots as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China.

Book excerpt: The funny and extraordinary stories of Joha or ''J'ha'' are part of the oral culture of Tunisia and everyone has certainly heard (and told) his stories in childhood. Some of his most famous stories, have left colloquial expressions in Tunisian Arabic like: ''mismar J'ha" (the nail of Joha).Even today, his fame goes from Morocco to Mongolia.His adventures are celebrated in dozens of languages: from Serbo-Croatian to Persian via Turkish, Arabic, Tunisian Arabic, Greek, Italian, Hebrew and others.Its name changes from one country to another: in the Maghreb it is Joha, J'ha or Ch'ha, in Sicily Giufà, in Turkey Nasreddin Hoca, in Albania Nastradin Hoxha, in Egypt and China Effendi.In all these countries, we find the same stories and the same character traits.Everywhere he makes us laugh, or smile, by his feigned naïveté or his sense of the absurd, which makes a mockery of the arrogance, the pride, the stupidity of the powerful and the rich as well as the ignorant ignorant.Everywhere one wonders if he is crazy or if he is wise. He has been told that he is "so intelligent that he becomes stupid or he is so stupid that he ends up saying smart things".And if he was both at the same time?Anyway, so crazy of the village that master of life, it offers us the opportunity to reflect, know and discover ourselves and others through our common roots and values.The journey to discover this character will allow children to be open to respect for diversity, giving them a vision of the world that helps them better understand the concept of historical connection and the more modern globalization.Likewise, this trip will allow children and grown-ups alike to rediscover and enhance the heritage of their ancestors and, if there are no more grandparents who do, it is Joha who can bring them back to their roots.Preferably read this collection in private, as there are risks of uncontrollable laughter, seriously!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Turkic Peoples in World History is a thorough and rare introduction to the Turkic world and its role in world history, providing a concise history of the Turkic peoples as well as a critical discussion of their identities and origins. The "Turks" stepped on to the stage of history by establishing the Türk Qaghanate, the first trans-Eurasian empire in history, in 552 CE. In the following millennium, they went on to create empires that had a profound impact on world history such as the Uyghur, Khazar, and Ottoman empires. They also participated in building the Mongol empire, and these Turko-Mongol empires are credited with shaping the destinies of pre-modern China, the Middle East, and Europe. By treating the history of the Turkic peoples as a process of amalgamation and integration, rather than simply categorizing the Turkic peoples chronologically or geographically, this book offers new insights into Turkic history. This volume is a comprehensive guide for students and scholars in the fields of world history, Central Asian history, and Middle Eastern studies who are seeking to understand the historical roles of Turkic peoples and their origins.
