Sinopsis

In "Voyages from Montreal Through the Continent of North America (Vol. 1&2)," Alexander Mackenzie presents an intricate narrative that chronicles his arduous explorations across North America, charting a course through uncharted territories from Montreal to the Pacific. Written in a clear yet engaging style, Mackenzie's work stands out for its meticulous detail and striking observations about the diverse landscapes and Indigenous cultures he encountered. The two volumes reflect the spirit of Enlightenment-era exploration, blending geography with personal reflection, while challenging contemporary notions about the vast, untamed wilderness of North America. Alexander Mackenzie, a Scottish-Canadian explorer and fur trader, was driven by both commercial interests and a genuine curiosity about the untrammeled beauty of the New World. Born into a family of traders, he leveraged his experiences with Indigenous tribes and his intimate knowledge of the geography to document his remarkable journeys, making significant contributions to cartography and the understanding of North American natural history. His pioneering spirit and profound respect for the land and its people echo throughout his work, providing insight into the complexities of colonial expansion. This seminal work is an essential resource for readers interested in the exploration narratives of the late 18th century, offering a compelling blend of adventure, scientific inquiry, and cultural exchange. Scholars of North American history, geography, and Indigenous studies will find immense value in Mackenzie's detailed descriptions and honest accounts, making it a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the profound interactions between explorers and the continent.

    In the second edition of The New Middle East, renowned scholar James L. Gelvin explains how in the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR, the American invasion of Iraq, and the Arab uprisings of 2010-11, a new Middle East has emerged. Syria, Libya, and Yemen have become "crisis states," where warlords vie against governments and each other. The economies of Iran, Turkey, and Lebanon, weakened by corruption, sanctions, and neoliberal economic policies, have imploded. Some states have doubled-down on repression, while others intervene in the internal affairs of their neighbors with impunity. 
     
     
     
    This edition explores these hallmarks of the New Middle East, along with the end of American hegemony in the region, the expansion of "conflict zones," the continued centrality of the Saudi-Iranian competition, and the ramifications of the breakdown of the Israel-Palestine peace process. It also highlights the crisis of human security brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, bad governance, stagnant economies, poor healthcare and educational delivery systems, climate change, food and water insecurity, population growth and imbalance, and the unprecedented displacement of populations. Gelvin outlines the social, political, and economic contours of the New Middle East, illuminating the current crisis in the region and exploring how it is likely to evolve in the decades to come.
