"Haxthausen's Transcaucasia is one of the great European travel ethnographies of the nineteenth century. Elegantly and thoughtfully written, the book is at once a window onto the rich history and culture of the peoples of the Caucasus-then newly enveloped into the Tsarist empire-as well as an entrée into the mindset and worldview of the educated European elite. Pietro Shakarian is to be commended for bringing this classic text, with The Tribes of the Caucasus, back into print, including such high-quality copies of the magnificent​​ original illustrations, and for his very helpful introduction to the book." - Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle, Associate Professor of History at The Ohio State University and author of Heretics and Colonizers: Forging Russia's Empire in the South Caucasus"Haxthausen's Transcaucasia is a perceptive and frequently entertaining record of a lost world: the north and south Caucasus before Russia's final conquest of the highlands. It remains one of the essential works of travel on the region and a telling record of the cultural and geographical diversity of this ancient land." - Dr. Charles King, Professor of International Affairs and Government at Georgetown University and author of The Ghost of Freedom: A History of the Caucasus"This new republication of Haxthausen's Transcaucasia is a useful addition to the English language literature dealing with the Caucasus. As a first-hand account of the region from the 1840s, it unsurprisingly shows orientalist attitudes. However, it also contains numerous details on socio-spacial and political conditions on the ground, which, when contextualized, offer a better understanding of the Caucasus. Written in a very accessible manner, it is a joy to read."

Maar er was een tijd dat ze elkaar nog niet kende. Hoe hebben Zerus en Ona elkaar eigen ontmoet?

Een verhaal opent hun verbeelding en geeft een conceptuele houvast om robots, programmeren en de digitale wereld te ontdekken." -Deborah Carter, algemeen directeur van NewTechKids

"The Famous Novel of the Sea"Stronach, the ship's bosun, was expecting his final voyage to be a smooth passage, yet it soon becomes a test of his mettle as a man and as a sailor.In the wake of the Second World War, the merchant ship MV Francis Hall sails from England across the Atlantic. With a crew still scarred by the traumas of the recent conflict, it is a journey that will challenge them all.Unseen Harbour was Frank Laskier's first and only full-length novel published just two years before his death in 1949 aged 37. Laskier himself rose to fame through a series of honest, no-nonsense BBC broadcasts that described his experiences during the Battle of the Atlantic. The success of these talks led to Laskier becoming known as the voice of the ordinary merchant seaman and this encouraged him to embark on a writing career, a move that was sadly cut by his early death.Frank Laskier's earlier books, My Name is Frank, which was based on the BBC radio talks, and Log Book, an autobiographical novel, have both been republished and are available from Solis Press.

Democracy in the 21st century is jeopardized in many parts of the world. Yet people who live in autocratic systems struggle for democracy, because democracy is the only political system that respects the rights of the people. The aim of this textbook is to present the tenets of democracy for young people who will soon come of age and become citizens as well as for people who have immigrated to a democratic country from a non-democratic country and do not know what rules apply, as well as for people in democratic countries who tend to forget that in a democracy everybody has rights.While democracy is by no means a perfect political system, it is the only one in which people of different ideologies, religions, lifestyles and ethnicities can live together: Democracy is based on tolerance and pluralism, characteristics that do not exist in other political systems. However, democracy does not only imply rights for the citizens- it implies obligations and responsibilities. This textbook can be used for a basic course on democracy or can be incorporated as a literature supplement for social studies courses.
