The Whispered Secrets by Ali Muhammad AL- Hussaini Pdf
The Walls of lanes slept Tradesmen have hit the hay like babies in their cradles I am left with tears flood And cheeks seem shoreless, Straight falling upon dry earth Yeh! Tears are but who cares! I am beseeching nights To find my beloved, left me here; Till the brim are two goblets filled In two hands clasped to judge One owes poison, other wine

Ice and Snow in the Cold War by Julia Herzberg,Christian Kehrt,Franziska Torma Pdf
The history of the Cold War has focused overwhelmingly on statecraft and military power, an approach that has naturally placed Moscow and Washington center stage. Meanwhile, regions such as Alaska, the polar landscapes, and the cold areas of the Soviet periphery have received little attention. However, such environments were of no small importance during the Cold War: in addition to their symbolic significance, they also had direct implications for everything from military strategy to natural resource management. Through histories of these extremely cold environments, this volume makes a novel intervention in Cold War historiography, one whose global and transnational approach undermines the simple opposition of “East” and “West.”
