Download or read book Tales from Old Shkodra written by Robert Elsie and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1920s and 1930s, the writers of Shkodra in northern Albania were profoundly aware of the misery around them, and it is perhaps the extreme diversity of their social environment which furthered their talents. They looked to the West and longed for a new, European Albania, yet they found themselves in an archaic society, one so bound by the force of tradition and custom that progress was impossible. Their writings reflected and gave full expression to this dilemma. The present collection brings together a number of well-known short stories and prose sketches by two of the finest Albanian writers of the first half of the twentieth century: Ernest Koliqi and Migjeni. These two men of Shkodra, one raised as a Catholic and the other as Orthodox, could scarcely have been more different.

Book excerpt: "This is a Ph.D. dissertation. In the mid 90's an international initiative was taken to save the Albanian population of sturgeons belonging to the threatened species Acipenser Naccari. This thesis analyses the ideas of biodiversity, the conservation initiative and the activities of this project through an ethnography of the everyday activities of the project members. What did the project staff perceive as pros and cons of species conservation? What role did they see for science and scientific expertise in species conservation? The book also looks at the tensions around concepts of `East' and `West' that permeated the project. Finally, it addresses questions concerning the role of project managers, leadership, and organizational learning, concluding that there is something to be learnt from failure."

Download or read book Traveler Scholar Political Adventurer written by Franz Nopcsa and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Austro-Hungarian aristocrat of Transylvanian origin, Baron Franz Nopcsa (1877-1933), was one of the most adventuresome travelers and scholars of Southeast Europe in the early decades of the twentieth century. He was also a paleontologist of renown and a noted geologist of the Balkan Peninsula : many of his assumptions have been confirmed by science. The Memoirs of this fascinating figure deal mainly with his travels in the Balkans, and specifically in the remote and wild mountains of northern Albania, in the years from 1903 to 1914. They thus cover the period of Ottoman Rule, the Balkan Wars and the outbreak of the First World War. Nopcsa was a keen adventurer who hiked through regions of northern Albania. With time, he became a leading expert in Albanian studies. He was also deeply involved in the politics of the period. In 1913, Nopcsa even offered himself as a candidate for the vacant Albanian throne. The Introduction also tells of Nopcsa's tragic death: he shot his Albanian secretary and partner before killing himself. The memoirs themselves reveal some references to his homosexuality for those who can read between the lines.
