  Creating the Opium War: British Imperial Attitudes Towards China, 1792-1840

  Creating the Opium War examines British imperial attitudes towards China during their early encounters from the Macartney embassy to the outbreak of the Opium War - a deeply consequential event which arguably reshaped relations between China and the West in the next century. It makes the first attempt to bring together the political history of Sino-western relations and the cultural studies of British representations of China, as a new way of explaining the origins of the conflict. The book focuses on a crucial period (1792-1840), which scholars such as Kitson and Markley have recently compared in importance to that of American and French Revolutions. By examining a wealth of primary materials, some in more detail than ever before, this study reveals how the idea of war against China was created out of changing British perceptions of the country.

  SEATOSUMMIT Alpine Ap II - Daunenschlafsack

  Der Schlafsack für's Hochgebirge “Extreme Kälte und hohe Gebirge, dies sind die Umgebungen, in denen man nichts dem Zufall überlassen möchte – bleibe in Kontrolle, treffe die richtigen Entscheidungen und genieße die Schönheit der Natur, trotz der großen Herausforderungen. Gut zu schlafen ist hier lebenswichtig und bestimmt den Erfolg dieser Trips.” Tim Macartney-Snape Gefüllt mit 850+ Loft ULTRA-DRY Down™ und umgeben von 3D NanoShell, ist ein Schlafsack aus der Alpine Serie Ihr Kokon in Hochgebirgen oder der Arktis. Durch den mumienförmigen Schnitt und die anatomisch geformte Fußbox wird die Wärme eng am Körper gehalten, ohne einzuengen. Der vergrößerte Halsausschnitt und die eng zuzuziehbare Kapuze stellen sicher, dass die kalte Luft draußen bleibt und der Wärmeverlust rund um das Gesicht minimiert wird. Der übergroße Reißverschlusskanal ist versehen mit dem leichtesten und steifsten Anti-Snag Material, so dass er sich super einfach auf- und zu ziehen lässt. Die Sicherheitstasche innen im Schlafsack ist leicht zugänglich, und somit ideal, um dort elektronische Geräte unterzubringen, damit bei extremer Kälte die Batterien länger funktionieren. Bei der Alpine Serie sind in den getrennten Daunenkammern die Federn im Verhältnis 60/40 befüllt, sodass sich mehr Daune für maximale Isolation an der Oberseite des Schlafsacks befindet. Der weiche Innenstoff lässt durch seine Konstruktion keine Federn durch, ist hoch atmungsaktiv und garantiert einen komfortablen Schlaf. Die Alpine Serie ist unsere Empfehlung für Expeditionen, Gebirgsrouten in den Anden , Hochgebirgsklettern im Himalaja und Wintertouren in Neuseeland. Die mumienförmig geschnittenen Alpine Schlafsäcke sind ausgestattet mit einer Kapuze, verbreitertem Schulterbereich und einem größeren Rumpfbereich, damit bei extremen Wetterbedingungen mehrere Kleidungsschichten darunter Platz haben. Ein vergrößerter Spielraum rund um die Knie erhöht den Komfort, wenn man sich im Schlaf viel dreht. Die übergroße Fußbox bietet Platz für ein Paar Boot Liner. Gewicht: 1340 g/1500 g Komfortbereich: -12 °C

  The Gobi Desert: The History and Legacy of the Asia’s Largest Desert , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min

  The Gobi Desert seems like earth reduced to its most basic elements: rock, sky,glaring sunlight, and little else. The apparent emptiness is both compelling and intimidating. But the Gobi is not empty, it is filled with space, sky, history, and landscapes.... (Conservation Ink) In August of 2008, London-based Jane Macartney published this striking description of the Gobi Desert in The Times: "On the Mongolian steppes, the emptiness and the silence inspire awe. From time to time, a huge, tawny eagle drifts on the breeze, watching for small animals to snatch amid the grasses. The only movement on the ground comes from the flocks of sheep and goats, yaks and cattle that roam, heads down, as they much their way across the grasslands...." Alongside this stunning and therapeutic view of the grassland critters are a smattering of white yurts which belonged to the Mongolian nomads who now inhabit the land. Gazing upon the rest of the Gobi, furnished with rolling plains, sweeping steppes, cragged mountains, and singing sand dunes, the desert instills in one a similar sense of inner peace. In fact, these Kodak scenes are so picture-perfect that it is almost impossible to imagine the adventurous discoveries, devastating wars, colorful commerce, and dramatically different landscape that once appeared in its place. The Gobi Desert: The History and Legacy of the Asia’s Largest Desert examines the history of Asia’s greatest desert. You will learn about the Gobi Desert like never before. ungekürzt.

  The World’s Most Famous Deserts: The History and Legacy of the Sahara Desert, Gobi Desert, and Mojave Desert , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min

  They say that one is subjected to a sobering sample of what can only be described as an existential crisis when traversing the golden and seemingly infinite terrain of the Sahara Desert. If one climbed any of the countless sand dunes and twirled around in a place, particularly under the starlit sky, they would scarcely be able to tell east from west without a compass, for there would be nothing but dizzying carpets of indistinguishable sand hills unfurling into the distant horizon. Daunting thoughts of purpose and self-worth aside, people fortunate enough to visit this sandy wonderland via a heavy-duty SUV, or more traditionally a hired camel caravan, are treated to a truly breathtaking sight. The wave-like ripples caressing the beautiful collection of irregularly shaped sand dunes, some barely half a story and others close to 600 feet in height, are as unique as the etchings on one's fingertips. To some, they are Mother Nature's stretch marks. To others, the wind-prompted patterns might conjure up an image of a god with a rake in hand, whistling carelessly and combing through the gritty grains of sand, as one would with a miniature zen garden to melt away their stresses.   In August of 2008, London-based Jane Macartney published this striking description of the Gobi Desert in The Times: “On the Mongolian steppes, the emptiness and the silence inspire awe.
