 Free Download Donna Jackson, "US Foreign Policy in The Horn of Africa: From Colonialism to Terrorism " English | ISBN: 0367860473 | 2019 | 240 pages | PDF | 6 MB Examining American foreign policy towards the Horn of Africa between 1945 and 1991, this book uses Ethiopia and Somalia as case studies to offer an evaluation of the decision-making process during the Cold War, and consider the impact that these decisions had upon subsequent developments both within the Horn of Africa and in the wider international context.  Free Download Rachid Mohamed Youssouf, "The US Foreign Policy in the Horn of Africa: The Cold War Era 1945-1990" English | ISBN: 2384546856 | 2023 | 171 pages | EPUB | 5 MB From the historical perspective, the Cold War can be regarded as an extension and continuation of colonialism via different means. The tools and methods that the superpowers, as well as local allies used, were in many ways similar to those desired during the last stage of European colonialism: gigantic economic and social projects, the promises of progress and modernization to the supporters, and almost death to the opponents or those who dare to step on the way of progress.  Free Download Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, "Life on the Golden Horn" English | 2007 | pages: 128 | ISBN: 0141025425 | EPUB | 1,6 mb Travelling through the wartorn Balkans with her husband on what proved to be a wholly useless diplomatic mission to Constantinople, Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) left a vivid, informative, clever account of her adventures in the mysterious, sophisticated culture of Ottoman palaces, bathing places and courts which - even as her husband's career was falling apart - she could not have enjoyed more. "Great Journeys" allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries - but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own. Few reading experiences can begin to match that of engaging with writers who saw astounding things: Great civilisations, walls of ice, violent and implacable jungles, deserts and mountains, multitudes of birds and flowers new to science. Reading these books is to see the world afresh, to rediscover a time when many cultures were quite strange to each other, where legends and stories were treated as facts and in which so much was still to be discovered.

Free Download Historical Sociology of State Formation in the Horn of Africa: Genesis, Trajectories, Processes, Routes and Consequences by Redie Bereketeab English | PDF | 2023 | 257 Pages | ISBN : 3031241614 | 3.9 MB This book analyses the historical sociology of state formation in the Horn of Africa. It examines the genesis, trajectories, processes, routes and consequences of the evolution of state formation. Three analytical and explanatory models explain the process of state formation in the HOA: proto-state, colonial and national liberation. The models, heuristically and innovatively, provide understanding, interpretation and analysis of state formation. While the proto-state model explicates an indigenous historical process of state formation, the colonial model refers to an externally designed and imposed process of state formation. The national liberation model concern state formation conducted under liberation movement and ideology. The distinct significance of these models is that collectively they generate sufficient analysis of state formation. They are also unique in that they have never been employed as aggregate analytical and explicative instruments to address the predicament of state formation in the Horn of Africa.  Free Download Come Blow Your Horn in New Orleans by Brian Lawrenson English | September 30, 2018 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B01LYN3UZ5 | 50 pages | EPUB | 1.37 Mb Have you ever wanted to come a blow your horn in New Orleans? Well we did. We stayed in the French Quarter and explored just about everything in every street. We spent our nights in the jazz joints and just loved Preservation Hall. We walked the streets of the Garden district with its imposing mansions and tree lined streets. We read the headstones and heard the stories in the cemeteries and didn't meet any ghosts. We shopped in the downtown harbour district, explored the Cajun cooking and went dinner-dancing on the Natchez.

Simone Brioni, Shimelis Gulema, "The Horn of Africa and Italy: Colonial, Postcolonial and Transnational Cultural Encounters" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1787079937 | PDF | pages: 168 | 91.8 mb This multidisciplinary volume analyses key themes and topics related to the cultural encounters between Italy and its former colonies in the Horn of Africa (Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia). The multi-faceted relations between the Horn of Africa and Italy were initiated during the colonial period but have also been shaped more recently through migration. In eleven chapters by experts in comparative literature, cultural studies, history, migration studies, political philosophy and postcolonial theory, the volume highlights how the legacy of colonialism permeates Italian society as well as influencing the construction of national identities in the Horn of Africa. The analysis of this transnational encounter opens up new possibilities for comparative research and critical synergies in Italian studies, African studies and beyond.  William F. Stark, Peter Stark, "The Last Time Around Cape Horn: The Historic 1949 Voyage of the Windjammer Pamir" English | 2003 | ISBN: 0786712333, 0786714611 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 3.9 mb In 1949, a young Dartmouth student named William Stark left his study-abroad program in Zurich for a berth as an Ordinary Seaman on a Finnish windjammer that would carry 60,000 sacks of barley 12,000 miles in 128 days from Australia to Europe, around Cape Horn. This is Stark's engrossing memoir of the end of a long tradition of young men going to sea in the Great Age of Sail, and the final rounding by a commercial sailing ship of fearsome Cape Horn-the veritable Mount Everest of sailing. Stark vividly chronicles the Pamir's journey through the world's stormiest seas as he worked brutal four-hour watches on decks awash with the huge swells of the Southern Ocean, and scrambled up ice-coated rigging to manhandle sails on masts that were up to twenty stories high. Stark experienced the shipboard life of the seventeenth century in 1949 on a vessel longer than a football field. Contrasting the romance and realities of life on the sea, and poignantly evoking the passionate love affair he left behind, Stark wrote a thrilling narrative that brings closure to the era of Cape Horn merchant sailors that began more than three centuries before. Pages of memorable photographs are included.

When mental strain led the operation's first commander to resign, Taylor—a military engineer with extensive prewar surveying experience—became the first and only Canadian to lead an Antarctic expedition. As commander of the operation, Taylor oversaw construction of the first permanent base on the Antarctic continent at Hope Bay. From there, he led four-man teams on two epic sledging journeys around James Ross Island,overcoming arduous conditions and correcting cartographic mistakes made by previous explorers. |
