Beschreibung

"Caspian Empires" unveils the pivotal role of the Caspian Sea in shaping world history, demonstrating how it functioned as a stage for empires vying for control from antiquity to the early modern era. This fresh perspective on world history positions the inland sea as a key determinant of regional dominance, enabling empires to control trade routes, access vital resources, and exert military influence.

 
The book argues that successive empires strategically utilized the Caspian Sea to consolidate power and thwart rivals, highlighting a nuanced understanding of geopolitical power dynamics in a frequently overlooked region. For instance, the book examines how the Silk Road intersected with Caspian trade networks and how empires like the Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sasanians leveraged the sea for military and economic gains.

 
The book unfolds across three sections, beginning with the geographical and ecological significance of the Caspian Sea and the pre-imperial history of the region. It then examines the rise and fall of various empires including the Arab Caliphates, the Khazar Empire, and the Russian Empire, detailing their strategies for controlling the Caspian Sea. Finally, it assesses the long-term consequences of imperial competition, exploring the legacies of these empires on the region's cultural landscape and geopolitical dynamics.

 
By focusing on the Caspian Sea as a central actor, "Caspian Empires" offers unique insights into regional and global power dynamics, making it valuable for those interested in military history, world history, and geopolitical strategy.

    The Sistine Gaze - I too begin...

    Like the Ceiling and Wall to which the poet is lured by Michelangelo's muse, The Sistine Gaze dances between vision and fantasy in words, images and metaphors that are muscular, tangible, sensuous, erotic or at times cold and questioning. The poem's philosophic currents in rhythmic line and verse are meditations on existence in the swell and fall of activity, of changing lives. 
    The poem's 'gaze' fixes on the creative process as mythologies, the god, the ungodly, and the corporeal luxuriate int he riches of the great Michelangelo's genius. Human certainty, death and the artist at work are central strand, discovering magnificence in the human body and tasting its destiny. 
    This ekphrastic epic is orchestral, impressionistic, thought-provoking and controversial. Indeed its raison d'être seems elegantly framed in an aphoristic line inviting us, 'To balance life with death and venture bravely to be beautiful.'

    Developed as the commercial hub of the Texas cotton and sugarcane industries, Houston was designed for profit, not stability. Its first residents razed swamplands into submission to construct a maze of highways and suburbs, giving the city a sprawling, centerless energy as storms and floods rattled coastal Texas. 
     
     
     
    When Hurricane Harvey made landfall in 2017, Fields set off from his home in Iowa back to the battered city of his childhood to rescue his mother. Fields tracks the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, one storm in a long lineage that threatens the fourth largest city in America. 
     
     
     
    Fields depicts the history of Houston with reverence and lyrical certainty, investigating the conflicting facets of Texan identity that are steeped in racial subjugation, environmental collapse, and capitalist greed. He writes of the development of the modern city in the wake of the destruction of Galveston in 1900; of the oil booms and busts that shaped the city; of the unchecked lust for growth that makes Houston so expressive of the American dream. 
     
     
     
    We Hold Our Breath is a portrait of a city that exists despite it all, a city whose story has always been one of war waged relentlessly against water.

    This title contains two books, which are these: 
    1 - Safavid Empire - The Safavid Empire, often referred to as Safavid Iran or Safavid Persia, stands out as one of the most influential Iranian empires following the Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th century. Ruling from 1501 to 1736, the Safavid dynasty is regarded as the catalyst for modern Iranian history and is recognized as one of the prominent gunpowder empires of its time. A pivotal moment in Muslim history, the Safavid rulers established the Twelver school of Shia Islam as the empire's official religion, which fundamentally shaped the spiritual and political landscape of Iran. 
    The origins of the Safavid dynasty can be traced back to a Sufi order founded in the Azerbaijani city of Ardabil. Initially a spiritual movement, the Safavid order transformed into a formidable political force. The dynasty, which had Kurdish Iranian roots, became increasingly Turkified through intermarriages with various ethnic groups, including Turkoman, Georgian, Circassian, and Pontic Greek officials. As a result, the Safavid leaders became Turkish-speaking and culturally integrated into the diverse milieu of the region. 
    2 - Sasanian Empire - The Sasanian Empire, often referred to by historians as the Neo-Persian Empire, was the last significant Iranian empire before the Muslim invasions of the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Named after the House of Sasan, this empire lasted nearly four centuries, from 224 to 651 AD, making it the longest-lived Persian imperial dynasty. The Sasanian Empire emerged during late antiquity, succeeding the Parthian Empire and re-establishing Persian prominence in the region, rivaling the Roman Empire (later known as the Byzantine Empire after 395 AD).
