A Literary History of Persia - 4 Volume Set (Hardcover, New Ed): E. G. Browne A Literary History of Persia - 4 Volume Set (Hardcover, New Ed)
E. G. Browne
R24,264 Discovery Miles 242 640 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Browne's famous work, first published in 1902, was the essential text on literary history in Persian studies for many years. As an overview of Persian literature from the earliest times until Firdawsi, it continues to be a valuable reference. Out of print for some time, it is now reissued as a library edition, in facsimile to capture the feel of the original edition.

E. G. Browne (1862-1926), who combined outstanding skills in medicine and Arabic and Persian studies, has left an indelible mark in his fields of expertise. He first learned Turkish in his teens, and went on to study all the languages of the Islamic tradition, while also qualifying as a physician. This collection of four FitzPatrick Lectures, delivered at the Royal College of Physicians in 1919-20, and first published in 1921, covers subjects such as Arabic as a scientific language, the transmission of Greek learning, and important Islamic medieval writers. Brown describes the role of Islamic physicians in transmitting Greek and Roman medical science through the Dark Ages, both preserving and building upon texts which were lost or misunderstood in the West. He further argues that the scientific elements of Islamic literature should be seen as complementing and supporting the imaginative and aesthetic works of literature, history and poetry.

Edward Granville Browne (1862-1926), was a British Orientalist who produced numerous works of academic value, mainly relating to the areas of Persian history and literature. Originally published in 1932, this volume is based on the list of Browne's writings at the end of his Materials for the Study of the Babi Religion (1918), but differs from it in some respects. It comprises all his own books, editions, and translations; the articles which he contributed to the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society; his political pamphlets and his papers read to and published by the Persia Society. This is a well-organised and informative text that will provide a valuable resource for anyone interested Browne, and Persian culture in general.

This book is intended to be a personal history of my life and experiences with the military department of Arizona for thirty four years as a full time employee. I would eventually serve as a civilian technician or on Active duty with the USAF. It is my hope and desire that people will take this book as it is intended, "a history" of only one person and the people he had around him. It is filled with personal information of a world from long ago, and a country with a different character. The Copperheads were a group of men and women who wanted only to do their duty and help this country survive the cold war. We did that, and I personally do not believe many people have ever given credit and appreciation to the quiet worker and dedicated week-end warrior who achieved that goal.

Manus the Celtic Warrior (Paperback): E.G. Brown Manus the Celtic Warrior (Paperback)
E.G. Brown
R238 Discovery Miles 2 380 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

I knew during the writing of "Valley of the Wolf Warrior" that it was necessary to tell this story. It had been dwelling in my mind for quite some time. The story and saga of this lineage was not complete without the sacrifices of the grandfather who created this family being told. This is the father of Aran of the valley, in the Pyrenees Mountains of Northern Spain. His attempt to organize the Celtic tribes into an efficient national entity was essential to survival. He knew this, but many other powerful nations on the realm of expanding into the world scene did also. In 1000 BC the Celtic warriors were the most feared people on the world landscape. They had originated from a people to the east, possibly southern Russia. They spread over Europe as the last ice age melted and dominated every tribe they came across. The efforts of Manus the Celtic Warrior would be terminated by rulers of the world powers of that time out of fear of what the Celtic could possibly become. His failure and death told the wise Celtic leaders of his tribe to immigrate to other lands unless they wanted to be devoured by other organized nations. No one can give a good reason as to what causes a mutation to occur in the male DNA, only science can speculate or guess. But I have always felt that it took some warrior or very special person to cause nature to take a different direction in the path forward into destiny on this earth. The seed of Manus left the mountains of Spain and spread to the edge of the world.

My children know a little about my years of growing up, but few people have a real knowledge of the struggles my mom had to deal with after her and dad broke up and went separate ways in 1949. My older sisters would have a different perspective of events after mom was on her own.They had known a life of dad being at home providing for his family most of their life. The younger kids had a much different view of the events in mom's life with no dad to help provide income. We had to deal with life in a totally foreign world, a world of being alone... The beginning of this transcript should probably start with my sisters, all five of them came along before I did. Their memories of our childhoods were more exact because they were around longer than we were, they were born earlier. They are in order of birth: Elouise, Mildred, Earlene, Shirley, and Barbara. I would be the only boy to survive birth and the youngest child born. My memories though would be the ones to write our story, because I would be the last one standing to make an attempt at writing something that made sense. I am not sure this transcript does that but I am trying.

It was about 1000 BC when the event occurred that would change our family forever. The way it changed us is how we can be traced as a family unit. From our beginning in the Pyrenees Mountains of Northern Spain over three thousand years ago, to the very spot where each related male member now resides. The facts I am opening this book with are not totally fiction. They are derived from actual science that we have been able to obtain from available DNA information. It is a brand new science and it is changing by the hour and day. If the reader investigates the subject of DNA and you are a sane individual...it will astound you. Not everyone will have a subclade or a haplogroup (related family) that can be traced like mine was, to a certain location in this world where it originated. I was very lucky and all my brother subclade men are just as lucky. I believe any reader will enjoy this book if they enjoy a historical fiction story, one that has a definite conclusive ending...one that is factual. This story is fiction from within my mind. But the fact that a story did take place is not fiction. We know this statement is true because my son and I are both here in this place, at this time This tale of historical fiction was not possible to even conceive of a century ago. Only the advances of our modern scientific world in the past decade have been able to make it possible. Our creator had built into our genes a simple way to identify each of the male members born of our very special Grandfather, he put a marker on our DNA that could not be missed by modern trained genetic biologists. That marker was a mutation on our single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in our DNA. With that mutation he started a new subclade of an already existing and very predominant haplogroup of Homo sapiens in Europe known in the genetic/genealogy world as R1b. They were all of Celtic origin...from somewhere to the east. This mutation would later be classified as subclade SRY2627 by the international community. We would now be our own haplogroup. No one can explain why a mutation occurs in a haplogroup. It cannot be predicted with any absolute degree of certainty when it will occur again. All scientists can say for sure is that the mutation will never go away once it has occurred. Wherever one of those male children decided to wonder off to, that male could be traced as being a member of that family. In the year 1000 BC we were known by what Clan (related family) we were born into, we were all from a certain Celtic Clan located in the Pyrenees Mountains in northern Spain. We had no last name, no one did. The tale that I will unfold will be a story of an event in human history. It will be my attempt to show the drifting out of Northern Spain by our first Clan members and a possible explanation as to why they left. A large number of the SRY2627 family stayed in those mountains. Many migrated to all corners of the known planet, some went south into Iberia, many went east, and some immigrated to an island north of them they had heard about, a peaceful beautiful land called England... I begin this journey in the probable location my ancient family resided in at the time of my Grandfathers birth, the Aran Valley of Northern Spain. This is an actual place, as any check of your World Atlas will verify. The large Pyrenean Mastiff dog breed in this book exists to this day.

The nitrogen-containing ring structures are at the hub of metabolism and include ATP, nucleic acids, many coenzymes, metabolic regulators and integrators such as adenosine and GTP, signalling compounds such as cyclic nucleotides and plant cytokinins and biochemically functional pigmets of which haemoglobin, the cytochromes and chlorophyll are examples. This important book collates and integrates current knowledge of all the biologically important N-heterocyclic compounds, covering the relationship between their chemical structures and physiological functions within this key group of compounds. Few biochemical reaction sequences do not involve one of these compounds as a substrate, product or coenzyme and a full understanding of the interrelationship between their structure and function is vital for all those woorking in the field of biochemistry. Professor Eric Brown who has a huge wealth of experience in teaching and research on these compounds has written a very comprehensible and thorough book which will be of great value for advanced students and researchers in biochemistry and those at the interfacing subject areas of chemistry, biology and pharmacology including all those employed in researching biological function within pharmaceutical companies.
