Book Synopsis A History of the Southwest by : Thomas E. Sheridan
Download or read book A History of the Southwest written by Thomas E. Sheridan. This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something about the Southwest draws people who are independent. From the Apaches who migrated south six hundred years ago to the Spanish exploring north Mexico not much later to the Anglo American who ventured west, these were people who wanted to live, as one Comanche leader said, "where the wind blows free and there is nothing to break the light of the sun." A History of the Southwest explores these people, their clashes with each other, with the environment, and finally with the forces of an increasingly complex economy. Thomas Sheridan takes the behavior of individuals--Geronimo, Wyatt Earp, Theodore Roosevelt--and local cultural groups--Pueblo Indians, southern European miners, ranchers--and shows how it was acted out on the lager stage of the environment, economics, and politics.

Book Synopsis Mongolia by : Michael Dillon
Download or read book Mongolia written by Michael Dillon. This book was released on 2019-11-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mongolia remains a beautiful barren land of spectacularly clothed horse-riders, nomadic romance and windswept landscape. But modern Mongolia is now caught between two giants: China and Russia; and known to be home to enormous mineral resources they are keen to exploit. China is expanding economically into the region, buying up mining interests and strengthening its control over Inner Mongolia. Michael Dillon, one of the foremost experts on the region, seeks to tell the modern history of this fascinating country. He investigates its history of repression, the slaughter of the country's Buddhists, its painful experiences under Soviet rule and dictatorship, and its history of corruption. But there is hope for its future, and it now has a functioning parliamentary democracy which is broadly representative of Mongolia's ethnic mix. How long that can last is another question. Short, sharp and authoritative, Mongolia will become the standard text on the region as it becomes begins to shape world affairs.
