G. BROWNE.OLD SERIES. ( 25 works, 37 published volumes.) and NEW

You may not realize you are at the mercy of Time Bandits - people
who steal your precious time, not with malice or intention, but
with crippling effect on your own pursuits. They steal 40-60% of
your time. And because your worst Time Bandits are probably your
family, colleagues, clients, bosses, and friends, we can't just say
no - we would risk offending them, or worse, losing clients or
getting fired.
Thus, "The Time Bandit Solution" is a step-by-step lesson on how to
recover stolen time you never knew you had. It is designed to teach
you the arts and skills for graciously negotiating with the Time
Bandits to prevent interruptions from sapping your productivity and
satisfaction. The Time Bandit Solution also explains how the damage
they cause lingers well beyond the interruption itself, how the
stress of interruptions subtracts joy from your most important
endeavors, and how to redeploy the time you recover.
Do you often think or say, 'I have too much to do, and not enough
time to do it'? If so, this book is for you. If you find yourself
frustrated by too many interruptions and feel powerless to prevent
them, you want to read this book.
With "The Time Bandit Solution," you will free yourself from the
distress of unwanted, unnecessary and unproductive interruptions,
and recapture the time to do what you must and what you dream of
doing.
Edward Granville Browne (1862-1926) was a British orientalist
renowned for his work on Persian history and literature. Originally
published in 1920, this book was written by Browne as the
continuation of his Literary History of Persia (1906). The period
covered by the text begins with the high tide of the Mongol
acendancy and ends with the ebb of the invasion inaugurated by
Timur. Illustrative figures are included. This book will be of
value to anyone with an interest in Browne's writings and Persian
literary history.
Originally published in 1922, this book presents a detailed list of
the Islamic manuscripts preserved, at the time of publication, in

in order of subjects'; and 'Class-marks of all Manuscripts
described in this Hand-list arranged consecutively'. This book will
be of value to anyone with an interest in the libraries of
Cambridge University and Islamic manuscripts.

Nearly a hundred years since its publication, E. G. Browne's A
Literary History of Persia remains a classic work in English on the
subject. Spanning four volumes, it took Browne over 25 years to
write and whilst it concentrates on Persian literature, it surveys
many aspects of Persian culture from pre-history to the twentieth
century. Volume one covers the period from the earliest periods of
Persian history until Firdawsi (AD 935-1020) a highly revered poet.
Volume two looks at the early medieval period and in particular on
the poet Saadi (1184-1283). Volume three focuses on the Tartar
Dominion (1265-1502) and volume four 'Modern Times' covers from
1500 to 1924. A remarkable achievement upon first publication,
Cambridge University Press is pleased to be able to bring its
edition of this seminal work back into print.

"Many dangers and many anxious days lie before the new Persia."
Almost a century later, Edward Browne's fears and hopes have a
special resonance in the minds of contemporary readers. The Persian
Revolution of 1905-1909, has maintained its relevance and
freshness, even after the occurrence of a revolution more intense
and all-embracing than the Constitutional Revolution. Furthermore,
the aspirations of the Islamic Revolution of 1979 were a distant
protest against the failure of that earlier revolution. Edward
Browne was a professor of Persian studies at Cambridge University
who had written A Year Amongst the Persians and the four-volume
Literary History of Persia. What he primarily intended to achieve
in The Persian Revolution was to demonstrate to his readers that
the tumultuous events they were witnessing in Iran, often with
suspicion if not disdain, were in fact no less than a genuine
struggle by an oppressed and impoverished nation to establish a
constitutional order despite the overwhelming odds of domestic
tyranny, foreign intervention, and ideological divisions. He strove
to serve as a voice in the West for the Persian Constitutionalists.
The Persian Revolution was more than a simple record of a
revolution, for it influenced the very course of events it covered
in its pages. This new edition of the book first published in 1910
features an introduction by Abbas Amanat, a professor of History at
Yale University, as well as a section featuring Browne's
correspondences and contemporary reviews of the book. Also included
are 56 period photographs. This is an essential volume for anyone
attempting to understand Persia's past and present.
