The scent was evidently hot--knapsacks, greatcoats, broken muskets, &c, were strewn about, and afforded interesting subjects for the inspection of Mr L.'s Albanian servant, who was addicted to lagging a little behind on such occasions. At last we began to doubt whether we had not missed our way to the battery, and as we were quite alone, we contemplated the possibility of our 108 ASPECT OF THE BATTERY. falling ingloriously into the hands of the retreating Muscovites with disquietude. We were just preparing to turn back when a horseman appeared, who turned out to be an aidede-camp from Omer Pasha, who put the same question to us which we did to him, and with no doubt the same anxiety depicted in his countenance. However, we mutually relieved each other's doubts, and a few minutes afterwards the signs and evidences of another battlefield met our gaze. As we emerged from the forest upon an open plain, we saw before us the battery which had given us so much trouble upon the previous day, filled with the carcasses of men and horses. Among the latter especially great execution seemed to have been done. Upwards of sixty lay heaped together within the small area of the battery, while the bodies of Russian soldiers who had fallen were being hastily stripped and buried. The majority of these, however, were found in the wood, and the report of the number buried before evening amounted to about four hundred. Among these, two were colonels, and six inferior officers. There, too, stood three guns and seven ammunition-wagA WELCOME MEAL. 109 gons, the trophies of the fight.

Download or read book The Trans Caucasian Campaign of the Turkish Army Under Omer Pasha a Personal Narrative written by Laurence Oliphant and published by RoutledgeCurzon. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arrival of a Franco-British fleet in the Black Sea in 1854 to aid Ottoman Turkey against Russian expansion was seen as a formidable danger to Russian rule in the Caucasus. Against the better judgement of the allies, the Turkish army planned to advance on the Russian controlled cities of Kutaisi and Tbilisi. This book reproduces the account of Lawrence Oliphant, who, as a Times newspaper correspondant, joined this campaign, advancing from Abkhazia to Mingrelia, where the conditions of winter forced a withdrawal before a major confrontation with the Russians. Oliphant's accounts are not only notable as living despatches from the front but also as significant studies in the psychology of the military commanders of the time. The volume also includes a reprint of Oliphant's pamphlet The Trans-Caucasian Provinces, written from the seat of war in Zugdidi, Mingrelia, which argues the strategic importance of the South Caucasus and presents an overview of problems posed by the religious make-up of the region.

Download or read book Ottoman Southeast Asian Relations 2 vols written by Ismail Hakkı Kadı and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 1095 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ottoman-Southeast Asian Relations: Sources from the Ottoman Archives, is a product of meticulous study of İsmail Hakkı Kadı, A.C.S. Peacock and other contributors on historical documents from the Ottoman archives. The work contains documents in Ottoman-Turkish, Malay, Arabic, French, English, Tausug, Burmese and Thai languages, each introduced by an expert in the language and history of the related country. The work contains documents hitherto unknown to historians as well as others that have been unearthed before but remained confined to the use of limited scholars who had access to the Ottoman archives. The resources published in this study show that the Ottoman Empire was an active actor within the context of Southeast Asian experience with Western colonialism. The fact that the extensive literature on this experience made limited use of Ottoman source materials indicates the crucial importance of this publication for future innovative research in the field. Contributors are: Giancarlo Casale, Annabel Teh Gallop, Rıfat Günalan, Patricia Herbert, Jana Igunma, Midori Kawashima, Abraham Sakili and Michael Talbot

Download or read book State of the World s Minorities and Indigenous Peoples 2015 written by Peter Grant and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a context of rapid growth, an increasing proportion of minorities and indigenous peoples are now living in urban areas. But while they offer the possibility of greater freedoms, improved livelihoods and more equitable opportunities, cities often magnify existing patterns of discrimination and insecurity. This year's edition of State of the world's minorities and indigenous peoples explores the many challenges communities face in urban areas, from segregation and lack of services to targeted violence and exclusion. Nevertheless, the volume also includes numerous cases of minorities and indigenous peoples achieving better social and political outcomes for themselves in cities, as well as examples of the substantial benefits their inclusion can bring to the entire urban population.
Download or read book Arabian Seas 1700 1763 written by Rene Barendse and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 2000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western Indian Ocean in the Eighteenth Century is the first of four volumes offering a sweeping panorama of the Arabian Seas during the early modern period. Focusing on the period 1700-1763, the first volume concentrates on daily life in littoral societies, examining long term issues including climatic change, famine, and the structures of fishing communities. The volume examines littoral societies in each of the major coastal areas of the Western Indian Ocean: East Africa, the Red Seas, the Persian Gulf, and its traditional ties to surrounding hinterlands as well as to the west coast of India. While having particular interest to readers concerned with Indian Ocean history, as an absorbing and innovative account of a much neglected albeit critical area and period, Arabian Seas, 1700-1763 will be of great interest to anyone interested in early modern maritime, social, or economic history. Kings, Gangsters, and Companies, volume two of Arabian Seas, 1700-1763 focuses on European relations with the major states and societies of the Western Indian Ocean during the eighteenth century. As such, it traces the major structural changes in African, South Asian, and Middle Eastern societies during this period. Chapters examine European communities and their relations with the societies of the Indian Ocean basin, the daily life of European soldiers and merchants, relations with Indian women, European views on the Indian caste system as well as the governmental systems they encountered. The volume also details the importance of Indian and Persian merchant communities in the Indian Ocean trading system and the impact of war on the economic development of this system during the eighteenth century. Men and Merchandise, the third volume of Arabian Seas, 1700-1763, provides a detailed examination of the economic and social structures in the Western Indian Ocean focusing on key commodities like bullion, textiles, and the slave trade. Readers will also encounter interesting vignettes of daily life: an Indian nautch girl worried about her inheritance, a Portuguese gangster-friar and pariah workers, the infamous buccaneers of Madagascar, coffee-traders from Yemen, Cairo, and the Crimea, and Iraqi and Iranian bankers who all had relevance to this vast economic system. Men and Merchandise provides insights into other traditionally ignored aspects in the traditional historiography including uprisings aboard slave ships, and details of maroon societies involving refugee slaves in India and Mauritius as well as Dutch slave soldiers in the Persian Gulf. As such, it will prove of great interest to any reader concerned with the social and economic history of the Indian Ocean basin. Europe in Asia, the fourth volume and final volume in Arabian Seas, 1700-1763, details the early phase of European territorial empire building in the western Indian Ocean basin. Particular attention is given to the much neglected history of the Portuguese Estado da India and the attempts of the Portuguese Crown to reform its administration and dwindling possessions in the eighteenth century. The volume examines the direct legacies of the longstanding Portuguese imperial presence in the Arabian Seas, including the experiences of Indian Catholic communities as well as the establishment of Indian settlements and communities in East Africa. Finally, the volume provides an exhaustive treatment of the structures and history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and English East India Company (EIC), the establishment of the vast private co...

Book excerpt: The Global Corruption Report 2001 is the new annual publication of Transparency International, the leading global anti-corruption NGO.

It also reveals the links between global, regional and national developments in the corruption field, and does so from the independent perspective of an NGO. The book includes reports by leading experts on topical issues such as political party funding, money laundering, and corruption in international sport, exploring in particular the global nature of these themes. It also contains 12 regionally-focused reports, written by journalists from around the world. The report's final data and research section delivers a unique survey of the contemporary corruption and anti-corruption research terrain, with contributions from a range of IGOs, NGOs, the private sector, and academics. It also contains TI's own well-known Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). The Global Corruption Report is a "must have" publication for policy-makers, business people, lawyers, journalists, academics, and anti-corruption activists the world over.

Download or read book Complementation in Georgian written by Karina Vamling and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a study of subordinate clauses in Georgian. The constructions in focus are finite and non-finite clauses in subject and object position. Georgian is characterized by complex patterns in marking grammatical relations, using both case marking and subject and object affixes on the verb. The language has no infinitives. In complements of verbs like persuade, want and try, Georgian uses finite forms that include subject and object marking, making it an interesting object for study as regards the problem of control."--P. [4] of cover.
