War in the Middle Ages--illustrated with many pictures and maps
Charles Oman is rightly regarded as one of the foremost British military historians. This unique and attractive Leonaur edition brings together two of Oman's most outstanding historical contributions in one volume. The first book traces the development of warfare from the end of the ancient period, through the medieval period and to the genesis of modern war. Oman considers the development of tactics, organisation, weaponry, clothing and armour, giving examples of how all of these aspects of the business of war were employed in notable battles and campaigns. The second work concentrates on an analysis of one of the most notable conflicts of this period--The Hundred Years War--which encompassed, in due course, The War of the Roses. Oman treats his subject with true scholarship, writing with an outstanding economy of words, which both informs and entertains. This illustrated Leonaur book not only combines two outstanding works upon broadly related themes, but the text has been enhanced with many monotone illustrations and campaign and battlefield maps which, although they did not appear in either of the original works, clarify Oman's writings for the benefit of the modern reader.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Oman is a truly amazing place. In terms of avifauna it lies at the crossroads between Asian and African species--Arabian desert species to the north, and a host of Afrotropical species occurring in the monsoon-swept south that don't occur anywhere else in the Western Palaearctic.
With much of the Middle East now effectively off-limits to birders, people are increasingly turning to Oman and its avian riches. And what riches they are--highlights include the incredible Omani Owl, discovered just a couple of years ago in the Al Hajar mountains, a suite of regionally scarce wheatears, exotic pigeons, shearwaters and storm-petrels that can be seen from the beach, a host of wintering eagles, plus impressive residents such as Verreaux's, the only accessible sites for Arabian Golden-winged Grosbeak, and Yemen Serin; the list goes on and on. This book is the perfect guide to this wonderful country's birdlife. Written by the world's leading expert on Middle Eastern birds, Richard Porter, along with Oman bird specialist Jens Eriksen, with color plates opposite concise species text and accurate maps, it is indispensable for any naturalist visiting this jewel of the Arabian peninsula.

My Year in Oman is a first hand account of the Gulf States attempt to modernize Omani and Muslim Culture of the Gulf region post September 11th, especially in the outlying regions of the Gulf States, through the use of post-secondary education and mandatory English instruction.
The author finds himself immersed in a culture that is trying to understand him while he is doing his best to understand them - in order to teach them.
The author's love of Oman's History is highlighted with two full chapters on the incredible History of Oman and its great leader Sultan Qaboos bin Said, as well as the History of Sur, Oman, which, two centuries ago, was a center of maritime power on the Indian Ocean.
My Year in Oman is also a true inspiring romance between the author and a beautiful Indian teacher and PhD. candidate in the capitol of Muscat. Their forbidden relationship builds a framework around which the reader is able to travel alongside them as they explore each other and the beauty and warmth of the Sultanate of Oman.
In a strange land for both of them and from two completely different cultures, they learn from each other as they camp and experience some of the most romantic settings imaginable.
The juxtaposition of the American, Omani, Indian and English cultures all make for a multi-cultural experience that will make readers laugh out loud in some places.
The warmth of the Omani people and their country culture will inspire people around the world and give us all a reason to hope about what is possible when all cultures live together in peace and harmony.
If you haven't fallen in love with the Sultanate of Oman yet, it's because you haven't read this book. Why deprive yourself the pleasure so many are enjoying right now? Scroll up and Order Now.

Описание: Oman differs from other Arab countries of the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf region in having a long history as a unified state. It is also famous as a seafaring nation and for the Ibadi tradition of Islam practiced by most of the population. This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held in T bingen in May 2011 with the aim of highlighting other, previously little known or studied aspects of Oman's history. The conference focused on the complex interrelationships between Oman and other countries bordering the Indian Ocean, and on views "from outside" of Oman's culture and religion. Researchers from a wide range of disciplines examined these questions and the approaches and conclusions presented here are similarly wide ranging, from the pre-Islamic archaeology of Oman and the multiple languages of East Africa, to the economic and cultural ties between Latin America and Oman. The technology and history of shipbuilding are also examined, using previously little-known source material. But however varied their themes, all the essays clearly emphasize Oman's significance as an economic and cultural bridge between the eastern and western Indian Ocean.
