Summary

In "Under the Turk in Constantinople: A Record of Sir John Finch's Embassy, 1674-1681", G. F. Abbott meticulously chronicles the experiences of Sir John Finch during a pivotal period of diplomatic engagement between England and the Ottoman Empire.

Abbott situates Finch's efforts in a broader literary context, connecting them to historical discourses of travel, negotiation, and cultural exchange, making this account both a personal memoir and a significant historical document. G. F. Abbott, a distinguished scholar and historian, was drawn to this subject through his broader interest in the intersection of culture and politics in the early modern world.

Abbott's scholarly rigor is evident in his thorough examination of primary sources, illuminating Finch's challenges and triumphs during his ambassadorial tenure. This insightful book is highly recommended for readers interested in early modern history, diplomacy, or Ottoman studies.

    The Republic of Ireland has changed much in the last few decades. It has become much more socially liberal, urban, secular and wealthy. It has also experienced large-scale immigration during a period when other Anglophone and many other European countries mainstream political parties have witnessed the exploitation of anti-immigrant nativism by some political mainstream parties as well as by the far right. Diverse Republic examines, as part of a wider focus on how immigration has changed Irish society, the emergence of antiimmigrant far-right groups through a focus on some key figures within these. It also considers the response of mainstream politics to immigration and examines efforts to encourage the integration of newcomers.The first part of the book examines how Irish society and identity has changed since the foundation of the state. This is relevant to the second part, which examines how and to what extent far right anti-immigration politics are likely to flourish or not in the Irish case. The second part of the book examines the appeal of far-right political responses to immigration in a context where some Irish citizens no longer appear to be represented by the political mainstream and where nativist populists lay claim to the symbols and heroes of the Republic.Diverse Republic makes the case for proactive measures to promote immigrant integration and social cohesion through citizenship, social policy and community development. It engages with shifting nationalist understandings of Irishness and makes the case for taking these seriously even if anti-immigrant nativist nationalism has found only fringe support in Irish politics to date. The symbols and history of what has become a diverse Republic should not become the property of those who would exclude some of its citizens.

    This is the extraordinary story of how salt fish from Shetland became one of the staple foods of Europe, powered an economic boom, and inspired artists, writers, and musicians. 
 
 
 
It ranges from the wild waters of the North Atlantic, the ice-filled fjords of Greenland and the remote islands of Faroe to the dining tables of London's middle classes, the bacalao restaurants of Spain and the Jewish shtetls of Eastern Europe. 
 
 
 
As well as following the historical thread and exploring how very different cultures were drawn together by the salt fish trade, John Goodlad meets those whose lives revolve around the industry in the twenty-first century and addresses today's pressing themes of sustainability, climate change, and food choices.

    A unique journey into the Arctic world, its myths and changes 
Finland’s leading expert on Arctic affairs, Markku Heikkilä shares insights from 25 years of travel, from the northern parts of Canada to the Ob River and from Iceland to Alaska. 
During his journeys, Heikkilä shatters myths and preconceptions about life in the Arctic. He highlights stories that few people know, such as the Last War of the Khanty People, Alaskan Sámi reindeer and the ballerina in Svalbard. 
The book dives into landscapes and lives, some of which we are about to lose. It’s about more than our changing climate; the Arctic was once a shared space among different peoples, until the region was swept in a storm of global politics. 
”A breathtaking book. It delves deep into the northern world in a smooth and profound way.” – Kulttuuritoimitus online magazine 
”Markku Heikkilä has compiled his extensive knowledge and a quarter of a century of travel in eight Arctic countries.” – Kaleva newspaper
