Download or read book The Book of Tbilisi written by Gela Chkvanava and published by Comma Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rookie reporter, searching for his first big story, re-opens a murder case that once saw crowds of protestors surround Tbilisi's central police station... A piece of romantic graffiti chalked outside a new apartment block sends its residents into a social media frenzy, trying to identify the two lovers implicated by it.... A war-orphaned teenager looks after his dying sister in an abandoned railway carriage on the edge of town, hoping that someday soon the state will take care of them... In the 26 years since Georgia declared independence from the Soviet Union, the country and its capital, Tbilisi, have endured unimaginable hardships: one coup d'état, two wars with Russia, the cancer of organised crime, and prolonged periods of brutalising, economic depression. Now, as the city begins to flourish again – drawing hordes of tourists with its eclectic architecture and famous, welcoming spirit – it's difficult to reconcile the recent past with this glamorous and exotic present. With wit, warmth, heartbreaking realism, and a distinctly Georgian sense of neighbourliness, these ten stories do just that. 'Acts as an introduction to a literature quite neglected by the Anglophone world... the language consistently has the direct, clean and unadorned quality of great fiction.' – Luke Kennard. ‘A soaring, searing collection – important new stories that are sure to live long in the memory.’ – Eley Williams, author of Attrib. Published with the support of the Georgian National Book Center and the Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia.

This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After centuries of neglect, the land transport corridors connecting Asia and Europe are on the brink of a rebirth. From practically nothing, a revived network of these land corridors is likely to lead to a considerable share of the freight revenues being generated by the increased trade between Asia and Europe. That is why there is fierce competition among the major players for control in shaping the Asia-Europe railway transport corridors. However, there are also new and exciting possibilities for cooperation among the various players. We will extensively examine and evaluate the transport corridors linking Asia and Europe. The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project will be assessed from the perspectives of the three countries involved: Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. It has been shown that the railroad will economically strengthen the region and better integrate the three host countries into international transport corridors. The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad will certainly play a key role in helping to revive the Silk Road connection, thereby creating common interests and facilitating the transformation of the region. The BTK transport corridor will not only stimulate the economies of the countries involved but help wean them their off oil-dependence and restore their rightful place as major commercial hubs along the once-legendary Silk Road. The attraction of direct foreign investment and establishment of partnerships between the public and private sectors are key issues that will be explored in-depth in this book. By 2025, the region is expected to become a prosperous financial sector and transit area; a comprehensive strategy to that end which incorporates the principles of sustainable growth is being formulated by the countries involved.

Book excerpt: After centuries-long neglect, land transportation corridors connecting Asia and Europe are on the brink of a re-awakening. From a level of practically zero, a revived network of these land corridors is likely to garner a considerable share of the freight revenues emanating from increasing trade between Asia and Europe. Therefore, there is competition among major players for control in shaping of the Asia-Europe railway transportation corridors. However, possibilities for cooperation exist as well. In this book, transportation corridors joining Asia and Europe are examined and evaluated at a general level. Moreover, the Baku-Tblisi-Kars railway project is assessed from the perspectives of the 3 countries involved: Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. Further, it has been proved that the road will strengthen regionalism and will increase the prospects for the three host countries to become a part of the corridors that are being developed globally. Besides, Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway road will play a key role in helping to revive the Silk Road connection shaping common vision and facilitating in transforming the region. The BTK transport corridor will be able to stimulate the development of non-oil economy reviving the non-oil trade and economic activities in the region restoring the historical position of the region as a commercial hub along the ancient silk ways. By 2025, this region is expected to become prosperous financial sector for which comprehensive strategy is being formulated by the regional countries for sustainable growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following My Thumb follows the wandering, rambling, bumbling travels of Gabriel Morris from 1990-2000. In the summer of 1990, at the age of 18, he sets off to Europe with his over-sized backpack, thumb guiding the way. He hitchhikes the entire length of Great Britain, sleeps in barns, on bridges and beaches and under benches, explores the Greek Isles, sneaks into a Parisian movie theater, spends a night at the center of the Place de la Concorde roundabout, and more. In Part 2 of the book, he spends the bulk of the mid-1990s as a wandering traveler back home in the United States, searching for something elusive: a place to call home, a community, love, adventure, meaning, purpose. He both finds and loses all to varying degrees as he attends tribal Rainbow Gatherings in the woods, falls in and out of love on the road, lives on farms and communes, and spends several months in an idyllic valley, far from civilization in the Hawaiian rainforest. The book culminates with his amazing and thought-provoking travels in the mystical land of India. ,

This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes richness and diversity of Georgia’s vegetation. Contrasting ecosystems coexist on the relatively small territory of the country and include semi-deserts in East Georgia, Colchic forests with almost sub-tropical climate in West Georgia and subnival plant communities in high mountains. West Georgia lacks xerophilous vegetation zone and mesophilous forest vegetation spreads from the sea level to subalpine zone. The Colchic refugium (West Georgia) ensured survival of the Tertiary’s mesophilous forest flora. Vertical profile of the vegetation is more complex in East Georgia with semi-desert, steppe and arid open forest zone. In South Georgia the montane zone represented by montane steppe is devoid of forests
