Beschreibung

"Arabian Peninsula" offers a comprehensive exploration of the region's history, highlighting its pivotal role as a center for trade, the birthplace of Islam, and a key player in global politics. The book examines how the Arabian Peninsula's unique geographical position and cultural dynamism transformed world history. Intriguingly, the book reveals how the seemingly harsh desert environment fostered a civilization that reshaped global trade routes and religious thought. It's important to note how the influence of the Arabian Peninsula extends across continents, shaping religious beliefs, trade networks, and political landscapes. The book approaches its subject by first establishing a geographical and social overview of the Arabian Peninsula before Islam. It then progresses through the rise of Islam and the early caliphates, the political history of various empires, and finally, the modern era with the discovery of oil. By drawing on archaeological findings, ancient texts, and modern scholarship, "Arabian Peninsula" offers a balanced perspective, avoiding biases and emphasizing the agency of the region's inhabitants.

Ukraine - Birth of a Modern Nation

Serhy Yekelchyk

In 2004 and 2005, striking images from the Ukraine made their way around the world, among them boisterous, orange-clad crowds protesting electoral fraud and the hideously scarred face of a poisoned opposition candidate. Europe's second-largest country but still an immature state only recently independent, Ukraine has become a test case of post-communist democracy, as millions of people in other countries celebrated the protesters' eventual victory. 
 
 
 
Any attempt to understand current events in this vibrant and unsettled land, however, must begin with Ukraine's dramatic history. Ukraine's strategic location between Russia and the West, the country's pronounced cultural regionalism, and the ugly face of post-communist politics are all anchored in Ukraine's past. 
 
 
 
The first Western survey of Ukrainian history to include coverage of the Orange Revolution and its aftermath, this book narrates the deliberate construction of a modern Ukrainian nation, incorporating new Ukrainian scholarship and archival revelations of the post-communist period. 
 
 
 
Here then is a history of the land where the strategic interests of Russia and the West have long clashed, with reverberations that resonate to this day.

Maitrayana Upanishad

Unknown

The word Upanishad (upa-ni-shad) consists of, "Upa" means "near;" "ni" means "down;" "shad" means "to sit." Thus, Upanishad is to sit down near the teacher to discuss, learn, practice, and experience. There are some 200 or more Upanishads. Some are lost and are only known about because of being referenced in other Upanishads. Most of the Upanishads were kept secret for centuries, only passed on to others orally in the form of Shlokas (a category of verse line developed from the Vedic Anustubh meter).Maitra (Sanskrit: ?????) and Maitri (??????) are related words which literally mean "kindly, benevolent, good will, amity, friend of all creatures". The Maitrayaniya Upanishad is associated with the Maitrayanas school of the Yajurveda. It discusses metaphysical questions relating to Atman (Self, Soul). It is a prose style Upanishad with seven Prapathakas (or lessons). The Maitrayaniya Upanishad was probably composed in late 1st millennium BCE.The 11 principal Upanishads to which Sankara appeals in his great commentary on the Vedanta-Surtras are: Chandogya, Talavakara or Kena, Aitareya, Kaushitaki, Vajasaneyi or Isha, Katha, Mundaka, Taittirtiyaka or Taittiriya, Brihadaranyaka, Svetasvatara, and Prasna. They are also called the 11 classical Upanishads or the fundamental Upanishads of the Vedanta Philosophy. Apart from these, Maitrayana-Brahmana-Upanishad is also considered as an important Upanishad. The Upanishadic literature is not a religious scripture and is free from dogma and doctrines. It is not a part of any religion but is a philosophy for all times and for all. German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, impressed by the Upanishads, called the texts "the production of the highest human wisdom". Summary by Jothi
