Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positioned at the crossroads of the maritime routes linking the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the Yemeni port of Aden grew to be one of the medieval world's greatest commercial hubs. Approaching Aden's history between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries through the prism of overseas trade and commercial culture, Roxani Eleni Margariti examines the ways in which physical space and urban institutions developed to serve and harness the commercial potential presented by the city's strategic location. Utilizing historical and archaeological methods, Margariti draws together a rich variety of sources far beyond the normative and relatively accessible legal rulings issued by Islamic courts of the time. She explores environmental, material, and textual data, including merchants' testimonies from the medieval documentary repository known as the Cairo Geniza. Her analysis brings the port city to life, detailing its fortifications, water supply, harbor, customs house, marketplaces, and ship-building facilities. She also provides a broader picture of the history of the city and the ways merchants and administrators regulated and fostered trade. Margariti ultimately demonstrates how port cities, as nodes of exchange, communication, and interconnectedness, are crucial in Indian Ocean and Middle Eastern history as well as Islamic and Jewish history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aden, terre de Genèse, port mythique, son nom résonne depuis l'Antiquité quand transitaient l'encens et la myrrhe du royaume de Saba. Cosmopolite depuis toujours, elle fut évacuée par les Britanniques en 1967 après 130 années de présence, servant d'escale à tout voyageur vers l'orient. aden est aujourd'hui la seconde capitale après Sanaa de la République du Yémen. L'auteur nous la fait revivre à travers une surprenante collection de gravures, dessins anciens et premières photographies dont celles inédites de Bartholdi, Tian et Rimbaud. Perle de l'Arabie des montagnes, José-Marie Bel nous la décrit avec un regard personnel et de nombreuses citations dont celles d'Ibn Battuta, Albuquerque, Haines, Helfritz, Kipling, Malraux, Nizan... Aden, mentioned in the Book of Genesis, is a mythical port, its name echoing down the corridors of time since the ancient days of the trade in incense and myrrh from the kingdom of Sheba. The city has always been cosmopolitan, and was evacuated by the British in 1967 after an occupation asting 130 years, during which it served as a port of call for every traveller bound for the East. Aden today is the second capital, after San'a, of the Republic of Yemen. The author brings it to life for us, through an extraordinary collection of engravings, old drawings and early photographs, including unpublished ones by Bartholdi, Tian and Rimbaud. José-Marie Bel describes this pearl of the mountainous regions of Arabia for us, giving us a personal view enriched with many quotations from the likes of Ibn Battuta, Albuquerque, Haines, Helfritz, Kipling, Malraux, Nizan...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well over six years of Chinese anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden have directly supported People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) modernization goals and provided invaluable experience operating in distant waters. Lessons learned have spawned PLAN innovations in doctrine, operations, and international coordination. Many of the insights gleaned during deployments are applicable to security objectives closer to home; some officers enjoy promotion to important positions after returning. Anti-piracy operations have been a springboard for China to expand considerably its maritime security operations, from evacuating its citizens from Libya and Yemen to escorting Syrian chemical weapons to their destruction and participating in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. So great are the benefits to China's global maritime presence and enhanced image at home and abroad that when Gulf of Aden anti-piracy operations finally wind down, Beijing will have to develop new means to address its burgeoning overseas interests.
