What would the Israeli-Palestinian conflict look like today if the Roman Emperor Hadrian hadn’t changed the name of the Roman province of Judaea to Syria-Palaestina in 136 AD? The answer is indisputable: there would be no Israeli-Palestinian conflict because there wouldn’t be a people group called Palestinians! The only reason why the Arabs who lived in the land started calling themselves Palestinians in the mid-1800s was because the land had been called Palestine since Roman times by the empires that occupied it.

Making a New Land presents an interdisciplinary perspective on one of the most rapid and extensive transformations in human history: that which followed Maori and then European colonization of New Zealand’s temperate islands. This is a new edition of Environmental Histories of New Zealand, first published in 2002, brimming with new content and fresh insights into the causes and nature of this transformation, and the new landscapes and places that it produced. Unusually among environmental histories, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of change, focusing on international as well as local contexts. Its 19 chapters are organized in five broadly chronological parts: Encounters, Colonising, Wild Places, Modernising, and Contemporary Perspectives. These are framed by an editorial introduction and a reflective epilogue. The book is well illustrated with photographs, maps, cartoons and other graphics.

Free Download Japanese Colonialism In Taiwan: Land Tenure, Development, And Dependency In Taiwan, 1895-1945 By Chih-Ming Ka; Sidney W. Mintz
1995 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0813389224 | PDF | 7 MB
Exploring the dynamics of development and dependency, this book traces the experience of Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule. Chih-ming Ka shows how, unlike in other sugar-producing colonies, Taiwan was able to sustain its indigenous family farms and small-scale rice millers, who not only survived but thrived in competition with Japanese sugar capital. Focusing on Taiwan’s success, the author reassesses theories of capitalist transformation of colonial agriculture and reconceptualizes the relationship between colonial and indigenous socioeconomic and political forces. Considering the influence of sugar on the evolution of family farms and the contradictory relationship between sugar and rice production, he explores the interplay of class forces to explain the unique experience of colonial Taiwan.

The Land That Time Forgotis a fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs. The novel is the first of his Caspak trilogy. Starting out as a harrowing wartime sea adventure, Burroughs’s story ultimately develops into a lost world story reminiscent of such novels as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’sThe Lost World(1912) and Jules Verne’sThe Mysterious Island(1874) andJourney to the Center of the Earth(1864). Burroughs adds his own twist by postulating a unique biological system for his lost world, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis.This system is only hinted at inThe Land That Time Forgot; presented as a mystery whose explication is gradually worked out over the course of the next two novels, it forms a thematic element serving to unite three otherwise rather loosely linked stories.The Caspak trilogy was first published inBlue Book Magazineas a three-part serial in the issues for September, October and November 1918, with this short novel being the first installment. The complete trilogy was later combined for publication in book form under the title The Land That Time Forgotin 1924.AUDIO:Readingby Ralph Snelson, running time: 3 hours, 46 min.Unabridged full version.E-book: ePUB, 37 300 words, reading time approximately 3 hours, 5 min.Edgar Rice Burroughs(1875-1950) was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.
