Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rich and illuminating." Literary Review A landscape of high mountains and narrow valleys stretching from the Black to the Caspian Seas, the Caucasus region has been home to human populations for nearly 2 million years. In this richly illustrated 2-volume series, historian and explorer Christoph Baumer tells the story of the region's history through to the present day. It is a story of encounters between many different peoples, from Scythians, Turkic and Mongol peoples of the East to Greeks and Romans from the West, from Indo-European tribes from the West as well as the East, and to Arabs and Iranians from the South. It is a story of rival claims by Empires and nations and of how the region has become home to more than 50 languages that can be heard within its borders to this very day. This first volume charts the period from the emergence of the earliest human populations in the region – the first known human populations outside Africa - to the Seljuk conquests of 1050CE. Along the way the book charts the development of Neolithic, Iron and Bronze Age cultures, the first recognizable Caucasian state and the arrival of a succession of the great transnational Empires, from the Greeks, the Romans and the Armenian to competing Christian and Muslim conquerors. The History of the Caucasus: Volume 1 also includes more than 200 full colour images and maps bringing the changing cultures of these lands vividly to life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Exploration of the Caucasus, Vol. 1 IN these volumes I have endeavoured to bring together much material previously scattered and ditlicult of access to the public. It has been my Object to make my chapters such a series of sketches of the Central Caucasus, its scenery and its people, as may stir pleasurable memories, or anticipations among travellers, and also interest that great body of readers who love mountains and like to hear about their exploration. The arrangement of the book is in the main topographical: that is to say, I have abandoned Chronological order and continuity in the narrative of particular journeys in order to bring together the facts concerning each district, or portion of the. Chain, into single, or consecutive, chapters. The method has its drawbacks; but on the whole these have seemed to me in the present instance to be more than counter balanced by its advantages. The record of adventure may be less vivid, but the pictures of the country and its people should gain in definiteness, and it ought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Shadow of Great Powers is the second volume of Christoph Baumer's History of the Caucasus. It covers the period from the Seljuk domination of the Southern Caucasus around 1050 CE to the present day. After the Kingdom of Georgia's golden age of independent power and cultural blossoming in the 12th and early 13th centuries, the Caucasus was overrun by the Mongols and soon disintegrated into innumerable smaller kingdoms, principalities and khanates. At the same time, an Armenian kingdom in exile maintained a precarious independence in Cilicia, today's southern Turkey, by applying a three-way diplomatic policy balanced between the Mongol Il-Khanate, the Crusader states and, to a lesser degree, the Mameluke Empire. Then followed four centuries during which the highly fragmented polities of the North and South Caucasus became political pawns of the regional great powers, above all the Ottomans, Iran and Russia. In the wake of World War I the South Caucasus enjoyed a short-lived independence whereas its northern neighbours were engulfed by the Russian civil wars. But by 1921 the Soviet Union had re-established Russian dominance over the whole region and, from a Western perspective, the region 'disappeared' behind the Iron Curtain. Nevertheless, the Caucasian nations kept their pronounced identities even under Soviet rule, giving rise at the dissolution of the Soviet Union to a number of internecine conflicts. Whereas the Russian Federation managed to maintain its supremacy over the North Caucasus – albeit at the cost of bloody wars and insurrections – Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia succeeded in more or less gaining control over their destiny. Of these three republics, only Azerbaijan secured a wide-ranging independence thanks to its fossil fuel resources. Following Russian interference, Georgia lost control over two of its provinces while Armenia remains dependent on Russian support in the face of its notoriously antagonistic relations with neighbouring Azerbaijan and Turkey over the unresolved issue of Karabakh. In the Shadow of Great Powers includes some 200 full-colour images and maps which further bring the turbulent history of this region to light.

We had a glorious tub in our little stream, and hung all our things out to dry, for we had descended last night in a thick wetting rain. The man was sent off for milk and cheese. Our Bezingi host's son, who had spent the night up here, entered into a long conversation with me about our plans, and I hope understood them thoroughly. Weather permitting we hope to start again tomorrow very early, and take three or four days' provisions. Make the Dumala-Dykhsu pass 1 the first day, and camp near its head. Climb Koshtantau, if possible from the south side, the next, and descend to the Dykhsu Glacier. Thence to Karaul. The man meanwhile to go round to Balkar with a note to Rieger to send him up to Karaul.2 It depends on weather; at present it is fine, but, as usual, clouds are rolling up, and I fear we shall have rain before night. Guides are busying themselves nailing boots, drying clothes, cooking meat, etc. Donkin is practising with a revolver at imaginary enemies (11.30). The day has passed very peacefully. The man has gone for milk and cheese with a rouble note (much too high pay, but we do not want to be stinted). I have written up my notes.
