Product Description

The purpose of the book is to link together knowledges obtained in the observation of mud volcanism and local seismicity. Geological, Seismological, Geophysical and Geochemical parameters are considered. The book represents the modern state of the art after many decades of observations. The book fills an editorial gap and improves knowledges in the fields of natural risks and energy resources. Mud volcanism occurs both onshore and offshore in many places of the world. Mud volcanic phenomena have been to date described by local monographies or by articles published by scientific journals and no books were published on topics able to highlight the link among mud volcanism, geodynamics and seismicity. Mud volcanism has been recognized to be generally related to hydrocarbon deposits, seismotectonic activity and to orogenic belts. In spite of the large amount of data collected by scientists working in different disciplines-geophysics, geochemistry, structural geology, marine geology, hydrocarbon geosciences etc., a comprehensive and complete understanding of mud volcanic phenomena is hard to find in current scientific literature. Finally a book presents up-to-date knowledges breaking traditional disciplinary walls.

Azerbaijan: Pre-2005
This book was written about 15 years after the country became independent from the USSR.It has a `quickly written' feel to it, not much economic analysis.Presents an adequate history of the country from ancient times: quick, basic facts - not much in historical political `plots'. Regarding oil reserves, the book reflects on the issue of mineral rights to the Caspian Sea-- or is it a lake?"If the Caspian is ultimately judged to be a lake, Azerbaijan could lose millions of dollars in selective contracts it has signed with international oil companies" (p.25).Color pictures every other page, nice.History, every generic, brief, not detailed.Oil issues discussed, but not particularly `detailed' - who is trying to grab the oil fields and pipeline routes; nor is there discussion as to how that would impact upon Europe, Russia or China. Brief discussion of the Nagorno-Karabakh territorial dispute between Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in the early 1990s.Reads like it was hastily tossed together, and sentences reading "Azerbaijan's inflation problems dramatically declined from 1,664 percent to 85 percent in 1995" (p.62) don't really explain why or how this decline came about - somehow it happened with a new currency.Because the author opined: "Islamic fervor is very limited in Azerbaijan....the absence of religious zeal, however, does not extend to the nation's cultural identity" (p. 74).The author notes that as most citizens are Shia, the Sunni-sect of Islam from Turkey/Arabia has `limited appeal'....The Soviet ear ended the wearing of veils."The author is "an Associate Scholar with the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, PA....He worked in Azerbaijan, directing political and economic development programs for the non-governmental organization Freedom House." No footnotes; has a 10-book bibliography.A good item for a high-school library; but becoming `stale dated' now.Has a policy-wonk position-paper feel to it; just not much of a good CIA-inquiry analysis to it though.A `book' that can be read in an hour.It is part of the "The Growth and Influence of Islam: In the nations of Asia and Central Asia" series. ...

Product Description
When Azerbaijan declared its independence from the Soviet Union, the Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabagh followed suit. Before long, pogrom and war were the order of the day, resulting in thousands of Armenian and Azeri casualties. This book examines the history of mountainous Karabagh, the ancient Artsakh of the Armenians, and assesses the mass of archaeological material and documentary evidence supporting the conflicting Azeri and Armenian claims. The authors follow the populations of the area from antiquity through periods of Mongol, Turkmen and Persian occupation, onto Turkey's and Russia's entry on to the scene, the period of Bolshevik rule, perestroika and, finally, the war with Azerbaijan. The book highlights the Armenian culture of the enclave, traces Karabagh's demographic evolution and situates the current hostilities firmly in the regional context in terms of the interests of neighbouring Russia, Iran and Turkey. The picture that emerges is one of a clash of nationalistic passions and Russian economic, military and diplomatic calculation. ... Read more

insightful, somewhat biased but what book isn't?
Although I admit this book tends to side with the Armenians on particular occasions, I strongly believe that it gives an accurate account of what happened and in the process, provides some insightful and clear-cut information that you may not be able to find in many other books about this subject. Anyone doing research on this issue should read this book, at least parts depending on what you are researching. As for those of you who think that this book is not worth your time because it is bias toward the Armenians, try reading Audrey Altstadt's "Azerbaijani Turks" - now there's a piece of propaganda. I admit that Chorbaijian's book could have been a little bit more objective, but let's face it - the Turks annihilated over 1 million Armenians not too long ago. I think he's entitled to some hard feelings. As for Russian and supposedly Armenian mistreatment of Azerbaijanis during the colonial and Soviet period - yes, Russians and Armenians sat in a lot of high places. BUT, if it wasn't for the Armenians and Russians who helped develop the country, Azerbaijan would look a lot like Afghanistan right now. Moreover, the fact there was NO systematic persecution of Turks or Azerbaijanis by Armenians in Azerbaijan OR Armenia, which had a considerable Azerbaijani minority at the time, gives a little insight into who's the more civilized, no? I myself am an Armenian refugee from Azerbaijan, and if you think Armenians are not allowed to have any hard feelings about ethnic cleansing, you should think twice about reading this book.

Completely portrays one side of the issue
This book consumed three days of my time and I had a hard time trying to mire what seemed like an attempt at writing a historical account of a tragic eventin such a fairy tale style.This however is one of the lessegregious comments about this book.The most crucial criticism about thisbook is its total one sided portrayal of a so called "oppressed"group of Karabagh Armenians. I find this account of this conflictdisturbing to say the least.And having lived in Azerbaijan ( a UScitizen) I can tell you from the Azeri point of view that the so called"Karabagh Freedom Fighters" were more like the Karabagh ( incohorts with their russian provacateurs) agressors.I am not going towaste my time like other reviewers going into the academic context of thisconflict to support my criticism of this book. Anyone who reads this bookand immediately elicits any sympathetic feelings about the KarabaghArmenians ought to take a two day trip the boundry regions of Karabagh andsay hello to the Armenian snipers who take joyous potshots at innocentkids. The author never mentions the agressive nature of the KarabaghArmenians. Nor does he mention that Armenians during the Soviet regime inBaku and before the revolution almost dominated higher positions in theBaku government and professional positions-thanks to the help of theircolonial masters the Russians.

The author poorly utilizes 1,000+ yearhistorical accounts to justify the actions of the Karabagh Armenians.Allaccounts are of course footnoted by Armenian scholars.

Overall, this booklacks any balance and crediblity, especially since the author is ofArmenian origin. To have someone such as Chorbaijan produce a book whichmay have an adverse long-term effect on millions of people, specificallythe 565,000 Azeris whose lands are being used as buffer ( ie-kill zones)zones, is a complete act of propaganda.This book is even more dangerousas it sits on the shelves of some congressman who is completely blindsidedby certain lobbying groups who have an interest in this whole conflict.

Historically Accurate, Thorough & Objective.

ITEM:THE CAUCASIAN KNOT: THE HISTORY AND GEOPOLITICS OF NAGORNO-KARABAGH (POLITICS IN CONTEMPORARY ASIA)

Dear Reader,

... If people want to know andunderstand the historical truth (NOT the historically-revised propaganda ofcertain powerful political entities) about Armenians and Armenia ingeneral, and the ancient Armenian region of what is now called"Nagorno-Karabagh" in particular, then this is a very valuablebook to read.

... Every sinle statement is backed-up with academicreferences in the notes section of the book. It is NOT light reading - andnot intended to be. But, if you are the kind of person who likes to"dig deep" into a topic, you can dig no deeper than this book: itis a substantial tome to be reckoned with! The authors are ALL highlyacclaimed scholars and researchers in their respective fields, and it isquite clear that each of them knows their history and knows what they aretalking about - big time. The "mass-media" regular-press has NOTfully informed the general public about the total truth of the Armenianstruggle that has been taking place in Nagorno-Karabagh! A lot of this hasto do withthe oil that is coming out of the Caspian Sea throughAzerbaijan, as well as the fact that Turkey is both a close NATO ally ofthe United States and Israel.

... This mountainous, sacred, rich, andbeautiful part of ancient "Hayastan" - the Armenian name forArmenia - is sincerely desirous of its reunification back with themotherland, back to its original state before the Soviet Union, underStalin, "assigned" its geographic placement within the politicalborders of Azerbaijan for reasons that suited the Soviet Union more than itsuited its Armenian ancient inhabitants. These people have lived here, asArmenians, since the times of the ancient Urartian Kingdom - WAY BEFORE TheAzeris, The Russians, and The Turks laid claim to this area.

... Like thestruggles for independence taking place in Northern Ireland, in Palestine,in Tibet, on the island of Cyprus, and with The Kurds, the Armenian peopleof Nagorno-Karabagh want their national, geographic, and political autonomyback. Reading this book will prove to you that the Armenian people deserveit. It is theirs; it belongs to them - and with them it should stay.

...Please, do NOT read this book if you wish to remain ignorant about thisimportant matter or to remain deceived about the historical truth of thesituation in Nagorno-Karabagh! It may open your eyes.

Very Biased
Unfortunately, the author could not present the objective view of the conflict in Garabakh and follows an extremely biased attitude.

It is a known fact that Armenia always was an aggressive state for last 150 years and, in fact, was created as a result of migration of Armenians intoTranscaucasia. That trend was accompanied by extermination and ethniccleansing of the native inhabitants of the region - Azeris, Kurds, Turks,Georgians, Jews and others. The success of Armenians was solely due to thesupport of Russia which tried to increase its grip on that land byestablishing and artificially created, loyal base. But author,unfortunately, tried to picture a completely opposite chronology of events,misrepresenting Armenians as "ancient people of Caucasus".

Thestruggle for Garabakh, the ancient heartland of Caucasian Albania(Albanians of Caucasus were the ancestors of modern Azerbaijanis) presentsanother era of Armenian aggression. The massacres committed by Armenianarmy against Azerbaijani population of Garabakh and Armenian Republic is amuch bigger ethnic cleansing campaign than Kosovo or East Timor. And tryingto justify that crime, by distorting history and misleading the reader, isthe main fault of this book. At least, the fact of Armenian migration 150years ago into Garabakh and the following blood-bath against Azerbaijanisand their repeat in 1988-94 can not be ignored.

Controversial text.
The main theme of this book is the conflict in Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan which still goes on. Unfortunately, the author failed to show all sides of the story and is definitely biased towards the Armenianside. In fact, the Armenian side is actually the aggressor in this war andis the side that virtually expelled all Azerbaijani population of Zangezur,Goyche, and Karabakh from their homeland, thus completing an unprecedentedethnic cleansing campaign. Therefore, it is sad that L. Chorbajian et, altry to "forget" this fact and support the openly racist policy ofArmenian side.

Not only the modern conflict is pictured from a wrongangle, but the entire history of the region is "rewritten". Forexample, ancient Azerbaijani lands of Karabakh and Zangezur were depictedas "historically Armenian", and the Armenians who first migratedinto Caucasus about 250 years ago were claimed to be "the oldestnation" in this part of the world. Such unprofessional remarks arevery dangerous considering the already unstable relations and ethnictensions in Caucasus.

I hope the readers of this book will try to gatherenough information from independent sources and look at the issue from thatperspective. In any case, I wish the authors of "Caucasian Knot"to add little objectivity to their future works. ... Read more
