Hardcover. Condición: New. Language: English. About The Book :Christians spreading westwards and the Mohammedans over running the east, multiplied endlessly the number of mountains witnesses of the Deluge. Such witnesses may be found in the Pyrenees, in Roussillon, and Andorra even in Afghanistan, the siah-posh country, and the…Throne of Solomon, overlooking the plains of the Indus.At the dawn of history, properly so called, the first definite events are referred to the south-western lands of Asia and to Egypt, which, east of the Nile, was regarded by the ancients, and especially by Herodotus, as belonging to the Asiatic world. Here the national groups began to be classified under the names of Sem, Cham, and Japhet; perhaps also, according to many Orientalists, under those of Sumer and Accad, a contrast which reappears later on in the opposition of Persian and Mede, of Iran and Turan. The various peoples between the Central Asiatic plateaux, the isles of the Mediterranean, and the African deserts, are numbered according to their races, usages, and industries, while on the Babylonian cylinders and prisms are inscribed ethnological and geographical documents of the highest importance. One of the oldest myths relates the dispersion of the peoples at the foot of the Tower of Babel; but despite the confusion of tongues, Chaldean history begins to follow the career of each nation, recording its growth, wars, and conquests. About The Author - Élisée Reclus (1830 1905) was a renowned French geographer, writer and anarchist. He produced his 19-volume masterwork, La Nouvelle Géographie universelle, la terre et les hommes ("Universal Geography"), over a period of nearly 20 years (18751894). In 1892 he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Paris Geographical Society for this work, despite having been banished from France because of his political activism.Reclus began his education in Rhenish Prussia, and continued higher studies at the Protestant college of Montauban. He completed his studies at the University of Berlin, where he followed a long course of geography under Carl Ritter.On his return to Paris, Reclus contributed to the Revue des deux mondes, the Tour du monde and other periodicals, a large number of articles embodying the results of his geographical work. Among other works of this period was the short book Histoire d'un ruisseau, in which he traced the development of a great river from source to mouth.
