On the fortieth anniversary of the 1978-79 Iranian revolution, a definitive political picture of the Islamic Republic When Iranians overthrew their monarchy, rejecting a pro-Western shah in favor of an Islamic regime, many observers predicted that revolutionary turmoil would paralyze the country for decades to come. Yet forty years after the 1978-79 revolution, Iran has emerged as a critical player in the Middle East & the wider world, as demonstrated in part by the 2015 international nuclear agreement. In Iran Rising, renowned Iran specialist Amin Saikal describes how the country has managed to survive despite ongoing domestic struggles, Western sanctions, & countless other serious challenges. Saikal explores Iran`s recent history, beginning with the revolution, which set in motion a number of developments, including war with Iraq, precarious relations with Arab neighbors, & hostilities with Israel & the United States. He highlights the regime`s agility as it navigated a complex relationship with Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion, survived the Gulf wars, & handled fallout from the Iraqi & Syrian crises. Such success, Saikal maintains, stems from a distinctive political order, comprising both a supreme Islamic leader & an elected president & national assembly, which can fuse religious & nationalist assertiveness with pragmatic policy actions at home & abroad. But Iran`s accomplishments, including its nuclear development & ability to fight ISIS, have cost its people, who are desperately pressuring the ruling clerics for economic & social reforms--changes that might in turn influence the country`s foreign policy. Amid heightened global anxiety over alliances, terrorism, & nuclear threats, Iran Rising offers essential reading for understanding a country that, more than ever, is a force to watch. ...

Map No. H-6B in the TPC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:500, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. TPC stands for Tactical Pilotage Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 500ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each TPC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.

Iran has one of the oldest town cultures in the world. It goes back more than 4, 000 years. Between the Islamic conquest in the seventh century & the westernisation in the second half of the nineteenth century, the cities & towns in today`s Islamic Republic of Iran underwent repeated changes. The Persian building culture influenced architects & artists as far as Central Asia in the north & India in the east. Unlike any other oriental country, Iran shows a unique urban & architectonic development whose defining characteristics merged with other cultures over the course of time, representing an important contribution to world architecture. In his Iran Architectural Guide, the author & architect Thomas Meyer-Wieser embarks on a journey into history, showcasing nearly 300 buildings & projects in Tehran, Isfahan, & Shiraz. His focus is on the identity of the Iranian- Islamic architecture, which has held its own since the rise of the Safavids in 1501. ...
