Book Synopsis Struggle by the Pen by : Ondřej Klimeš
Download or read book Struggle by the Pen written by Ondřej Klimeš and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Struggle by the Pen, Ondřej Klimeš explores the emergence of national consciousness and nationalist ideology of Uyghurs in Xinjiang from c. 1900-1949. Drawing from texts written by modern Uyghur intellectuals, politicians and propagandists throughout this period, he identifies diverse types of Uyghur discourse on the nation and national interest, and traces the emergence and construction of modern Uyghur national identity. The author also demonstrates that the modern Uyghur intelligentsia regarded political emancipation and social modernization as the two most important interests of their nation, and that they envisaged Uyghurs as citizens of a modern republican state founded on the principles of representative government. This book thus presents a new perspective on Uyghur intellectual history and on Republican Xinjiang.

Book Synopsis A Few Memorable Days by : Philip Larson
Download or read book A Few Memorable Days written by Philip Larson and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Larson began delivering newspapers in his hometown of Boone, Iowa, when he was ten years old. One afternoon while walking his paper route he looked up in the sky and noticed a narrow, white cloud developing behind an airplane. Although he had never seen a contrail before, he knew what it was. What he did not know is how the advancements in jet aircraft would revolutionize travel and enable a young Iowa paper carrier to one day explore all seven continents. He hiked, canoed, rode motorcycles, and traveled in automobiles, planes, trains, and ships. In a fascinating chronicling of his travels from 1969 to 2019, Philip Larson shares a glimpse into his global adventures as he journeyed from the frozen lakes of arctic Canada to the outback of Australia to the barren Namib desert of western Africa as well as many more destinations. As he leads other travel adventurers through his vast experiences, Larson details a frigid New Year’s Eve camping trip in northern Minnesota, an one-hundred and eighty-mile trek on the back trails of Nepal, a memorable campsite in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula as a typhoon blew in from the Sea of Okhotsk, and much more. A Few Memorable Days is the travel log of an experienced adventurer as he explored the world over five decades in some of its most inaccessible places.
Book Synopsis Nomads and Commissars by : Owen Lattimore
Download or read book Nomads and Commissars written by Owen Lattimore and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nomads and Commissars: Mongolia Revisited, which was first published in 1962, provides a lively description of modern-day Mongolia, combined with historical material. Beginning with a geographical description, author Owen Lattimore narrates Mongolian history, both political and economic. He explains how and why Marxism succeeded in a country of nomads with almost no industry, capitalists, or middle class. His chapter on the revolution focuses on the partisan leaders, Sukebator and Choibalsang, and his account of Mongolia’s past and present relations with Russia and China is especially timely in view of the difficulties being experienced between those two countries. The author was a well-respected scholar, fluent in both Chinese and Mongolian, and was well-underwritten by some of the most famous institutions in the world, who sponsored his research and Central Asian travels. Lattimore’s books, such as Inner Asian Frontiers of China (1940), are authoritative, fascinating and give keen insights to the complex relationships in Central Asia, the political forces, the cultural variations of the divergent peoples and the geography. His works are a valuable resource for areas largely neglected at the time mostly because the area was closed for such a long time. Against the odds, Lattimore won his way into Mongolia and Central Asia and did his research while traveling in the most primitive areas by the traditional camel, donkey and yak cart. He talked to the people, understood their ways and culture. His record is a valuable insight into who and what transpired during the 1920s, right through to the 1940’s.
Book Synopsis Mani's Pictures by : Zsuzsanna Gulácsi
Download or read book Mani's Pictures written by Zsuzsanna Gulácsi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder of Manichaeism, Mani (216-274/277 CE), not only wrote down his teachings to prevent their adulteration, but also created a set of paintings—the Book of Pictures—to be used in the context of oral instruction. That pictorial handscroll and its later editions became canonical art for Mani's followers for a millennium afterwards. This richly illustrated study systematically explores the artistic culture of religious instruction of the Manichaeans based on textual and artistic evidence. It discusses the doctrinal themes (soteriology, prophetology, theology, and cosmology) depicted in Mani’s canonical pictures. Moreover, it identifies 10th-century fragments of canonical picture books, as well as select didactic images adapted to other, non-canonical art objects (murals, hanging scrolls, mortuary banners, and illuminated liturgical manuscripts) in Uygur Central Asia and Tang-Ming China.

Book Synopsis Mongolia in the Twentieth Century by : Stephen Kotkin
Download or read book Mongolia in the Twentieth Century written by Stephen Kotkin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remote vastness of Mongolia has remained somewhat of a mystery to most Westerners - no less so in the 20th century. Homeland of the legendary conqueror Chingiz Khan, in modern times Mongolia itself has been the object of imperial rivalry. For most of the 20th century it was under Soviet domination. Mikhail Gorbachev began the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Mongolia in 1989, a process completed in 1992. By 1996 a coalition of opposition parties triumphed in national elections, and Mongolia launched itself on a new course. It is perhaps the most intriguing of the post-community "transition" societies. This volume examines Mongol history over the past century, embracing not only Mongolia proper but also Mongol communities in Russia and China. Contributions, based on new archival research and the latest fieldwork, are from the world's top experts in the field - including four authors from Mongolia and others from Japan, Russia, Taiwan, Great Britain and the United States. Stephen Kotkin's introductory chapter is an overview of Mongol studies. The essays in part 1 examine Sino-Russian competition over Outer Mongolia. Part 2 looks at international diplomacy in Mongolia, including the role of Japan. Part 3 focuses on contemporary issues ranging from economic and cultural change to emergent elites. A concluding essay surveys Mongolian foreign policy.
