 Free Download Jonathan Shepard, "Muslims on the Volga in the Viking Age: In the Footsteps of Ibn Fadlan (Library of Medieval Studies) " English | ISBN: 1784539333 | 2023 | 440 pages | PDF | 47 MB The year 922 saw a series of remarkable face-to-face encounters in the steppes between Bukhara and the Middle Volga. Ibn Fadlan was an intrepid member of a diplomatic and religious mission from the distant caliphate in Baghdad to the ruler of the Volga Bulgars. His account gives a vivid eyewitness description of the peoples he came upon (whose appearance, rituals and filthy habits both fascinate and appal) and a famous depiction of a Viking Rus ship burial. It is unique testimony to burgeoning exchanges between several different cultures, and to the emergence of new political structures on the steppes. Yet the account survives only as part of a later composite work, raising questions of meaning and historical interpretation. This pioneering interdisciplinary study of Ibn Fadlan's text and the world he surveyed draws on a variety of specialists to give readers both 'the bigger picture' of cultural and economic change in Eurasia, Byzantium and the Muslim world, and hard facts, in the form of archaeological and numismatic data.

Discovering the Footsteps of Time: Geological Travel Writing about Scotland, 1700-1820 By Tom Furniss 2018 | 305 Pages | ISBN: 1474410014 | PDF | 9 MB Traces the history of geological travel writing about Scotland across the historical periods of the Scottish Enlightenment and British Romanticism Discovering the Footsteps of Time probes the development of a distinctively Scottish tradition of geological travel writing from the seventeenth to early nineteenth century. The tradition tracks a fertile interaction of scientific and aesthetic themes, mediated through literary techniques, which highlights the emergence of 'Romanticism' as such; a distinctive, recognisable cultural movement of taste and style. Making an important new contribution to our understanding of the 'discovery' and representation of Scotland in the long eighteenth century, the book explores why Scotland's topography has been decisive in the history of geology to such a great extent. Written by a literary academic rather than a geologist, the book is as much concerned with textual strategies and the aesthetic experience of geological discovery as with geology itself. Key Features Adds to our understanding of the 'discovery of Scotland' in the 18th and early19th century, developing a new account of the literary, aesthetic and geological meanings of 'the land of mountain and flood' in the period Offers new insights about James Hutton's geological theory by attending to his geological travel writing about Scotland, and also locates Hutton's work within wider geological debates in and about Scotland Builds on previous work on the literariness of scientific writing in the 'second scientific revolution' Contributes to research on 'Romantic Scotland' and on the transition from Enlightenment to Romantic scientific travel writing  Ashutosh Salil, "Being the Change : In the Footsteps of the Mahatma" English | ISBN: 9356291985 | 2022 | 172 pages | EPUB | 579 KB This book tells the stories of social justice warriors who are quietly powering the country's progress by being agents of real change. Words Mahatma Gandhi lived by-such as 'India lives in villages and to serve the poor we will have to serve in the villages' or that 'truth may get troubled but it never gets defeated'-are their moral compass. They have shown by personal example how adopting Bapu's ideology as a way of life can be personally enriching and socially beneficial. The people in this book mostly work away from the spotlight. Through entirely Gandhian ways, they have proved that his methods, such as satyagraha, still help effect real change and progress for the people most in need. Many have won awards and recognition, but largely their stirring stories have remained untold-a gap that Being the Change seeks to fill. |
