Book Description

The EU funded interdisciplinary Environmental Tectonics research program ENTEC has led to new insights into the strength distribution of Europe's intraplate lithosphere, and its relationship with the localization of intraplate deformation and associated vertical motions. Pronounced lateral variations in Europe's intraplate strength occur, as a result of recent thermal perturbation in the underlying mantle and inherited inhomogeneity in lithospheric structures, as a result of Europe's polyphase pre-Quaternary evolution.

Results are presented from quantitative subsidence analysis studies, and constraints by geothermochronology, pointing to pronounced acceleration in differential vertical motions and associated topography development in intraplate Europe. These results demonstrate the vulnerability of Europe's lithosphere to neotectonic activity documented by detailed studies in the three natural laboratories of the ENTEC program: (1) the Lower Rhine Graben (LRG), (2) the Upper Rhine Graben (URG), and (3) the Vienna Basin (VB).

* Integrated data sets on neotectonics, intraplate deformation and continental topography
* New observations on monitoring, imaging and reconstruction of intraplate deformation
* Tectonic modelling of coupled lithosphere - surface processes

Book Description

This is the long awaited follow-up to Lie Algebras, Part I which covered a major part of the theory of Kac-Moody algebras, stressing primarily their mathematical structure. Part II deals mainly with the representations and applications of Lie Algebras and contains many cross references to Part I.

The theoretical part largely deals with the representation theory of Lie algebras with a triangular decomposition, of which Kac-Moody algebras and the Virasoro algebra are prime examples. After setting up the general framework of highest weight representations, the book continues to treat topics as the Casimir operator and the Weyl-Kac character formula, which are specific for Kac-Moody algebras.

The applications have a wide range. First, the book contains an exposition on the role of finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras and their representations in the standard and grand unified models of elementary particle physics. A second application is in the realm of soliton equations and their infinite-dimensional symmetry groups and algebras. The book concludes with a chapter on conformal field theory and the importance of the Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebras therein.

Book Description

Full of rip-roaring exploits, witty satire, and nimble humor, this classic work of fiction, first published in 1824, launches readers along on the rags-to-riches escapades of Hajji Baba, the lazy son of a barber, as he seeks his fortune... but only if it doesn't demand too much work of him. James Morier's journeys through the Middle East as a representative of the British government lent him an extensive and intimate knowledge of Iranian culture, one that he used to great effect in his writing. The translation into Persian of Hajji Baba is, in fact, considered one of the masterpieces of the 19th-century literature of the language, with many native speakers unaware that it was originally penned by a visiting Englishman. Long out of print, this wild novel is sure to delight new generations of armchair adventurers. English author, diplomat, and adventurer JAMES JUSTINIAN MORIER (1780-1849) served as the British ambassador to the court of Persia from 1810 to 1816. He is also remembered for his memoir A Journey through Persia, Armenia and Asia Minor to Constantinople in 1808.

Haji Baba.......2007-07-29

I read someone ele's copy years ago. It was so entralling, I could not put it down until I finished it.
As someone who has himself spent years in the Middle East, and even married into the culture, I find Morier's accounting of Haji Baba completely credible. In fact, except for the time, and places, many of Haji Baba's adventures closely parallel my own.
This book is worth having in one's library as a classic.

Excellent & ironic humor - easy to read after preface.......2003-05-04

I found this book to be very hard to put down after getting caught up in the tale of Hajji Baba, the poor lazy son of an Ispahan barber who is too clever by half, getting himself into the wildest of scrapes and sometimes too quick to grab at opportunities.
Morier's different sorts of humor permeate this ancient work first published in the 1800s. Hajji Baba is a great character subject to wild misadventures while showing a very human side that is easy to follow.
Sir James Morier, the author, also wrote a little known sequel to this work titled "The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan in England." This sequel has fallen out of print and is so rare that copies can sometimes go for hundreds of dollars. In the sequel, Hajji Baba, who is now the assistant ambassador to the infidel franks of England, goes on to have more misadventures in his new capacity.
If you like rags-to-riches-to-rags-etc stories, then try this book! This first book is easier to find in used bookstores, yet has been reprinted over the last 175 years in sufficient quantities to make it available. The sequel, alas, is rare but not impossible to find...especially in England, where the author lived and published.

Book Description

1925. Whenever Hajji Baba traveled with the English, he observed them record their observations in books; and when they return home, thus make their fellow countrymen acquainted with the most distant regions of the globe. As a Persian, Hajji Baba followed their example; and during the period of his residence at Constantinople, he passed his time writing a detailed history of his life, which, although that of a very obscure and ordinary individual, is still so full of vicissitude and adventure that he thinks it would not fail to create an interest if published in Europe. This is his story.

Entertaining.......2005-03-25

Very entertaining book, though it took me some pages to get into the sonorous style of writing. Written in 1824, Morier, an Englishman who had spent much time in Persia (Iran), writes from the viewpoint, in 1st person narrative, of Hajji Baba, his life from the beginning til he is probably in his 30's somewhere. I wonder if present-day Iranis are anything like the Persians of only 200 years ago. Amazingly, Morier presents their life as basically unchanged from Biblical times. And Hajji is somewhat like the hero of "The Adventurer" and "The Wanderer" by Mika Waltari, prideful, boastful, with more than his share of vanity, and a whole lot to learn. I do know that poetry is still extremely important in the lives of Iranis, as it was then. I have managed to get ahold of the sequel "The Adventures of Hajji Baba in England", in which Morier pits English customs against those of Persia, poles apart. It is amusing, and I do not think unduely slanted towards the English at all. Just a clash of cultures, nobody right, nobody wrong.

Peripatetic Persian's Picaresque Peregrinations.......2005-01-29

The son of an Isfahan barber leads an exciting life of endless adventure, a total rollercoaster existence in which his fortunes rise and fall like a wood chip on the waves of Fate. Written by an English diplomat in 1824, HAJJI BABA reminded me more than a little of such 18th century British classics as "Tom Jones", "Moll Flanders", or "The Vicar of Wakefield" in that it is composed of a very large series of picaresque tales full of deus ex machinas, lucky breaks and unbelievable encounters. Oh, yeah, not to mention fortuitous flipflops of Fate. Hajji Baba proves a thief, bandit, pimp, quack, adulterator of goods, forger of signatures, petty tyrant, liar, imposter, show-off, suspected murderer, dreamer, schemer, and always a shlemazl, full of false piety, fake sincerity and an opportunist to the nth degree. I might have left out the traits portrayed in one or two incidents here because this dude had a genius for shooting himself in the foot. Frankly, his love life was a disaster. Despite all this, I enjoyed the book as a kind of colorful old tale, written in the highly stilted and stylized language of several yesteryears before the last !

What you should under no circumstances think is that this story bears more than the slightest relationship to anything Persian, anything to do with the nation of Iran. With this in mind, you can sit back and enjoy a rollicking British tale. It is, as others have pointed out, a prime example of "Orientalism"---a style or an intellectual current in which Westerners stereotype Orientals (particularly, in Edward Said's writing, those of the Muslim world) as all similar, unscrupulous, dirty, ignorant of truth and lacking strong character, and certainly in need of a `strong, guiding hand' which would no doubt be available from Europe (or---let's see---where else ?). Such writings provided the underpinnings of colonialism and are, sadly, far from dead, although in different guises now. By placing his picaresque tale in Persia, Morier could exhibit his knowledge of certain customs, dress, food, and bits of vocabulary while titillating contemporary English readers with glimpses of harem life as he (and they) imagined it. The last chapters make indirect fun of Persians by showing their ignorance of Europe, while "we", the more worldly wise readers, "know" the Persians thanks to having read this novel. Morier thereby set up the backdrop for his next book, in which Hajji Baba visits England. My edition came with a large number of Orientalist illustrations too, brimming with "the exotic" or more bluntly put, the phoney. But you don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. This is adventure, 18th century style. If that intrigues you, give HAJJI BABA a try.

I bought this book over 40 years ago in Ithaca, New York, but never got around to reading it till now. I wonder what I would have thought of it then.

Very readable & enjoyable.......2001-07-22

I found this book to be an excellent read! It's got subtle humor, adventure, romance, rags-to-riches-to-rags-and-back-again...if Sinbad had a distant cousin on the wrong side of the tracks, it would be Hajji Baba of Ispahan. This book, according to the intro, has a SEQUEL which covers Hajji's trip to England, but I haven't seen sign of it anywhere. Do yourself a favour and read this book.

The Best Book Out of Print.......2000-05-26

Hajji Baba may be the best book out of print. It's one of those unique, authentic, hilarious books like My Family and Other Animals.

HAJJI BABA OF ISPAHAN is a great book, but not quick........1996-10-31

An excellent long, slow read. If you want to have a good idea of how the Persian mind works this is a superb window into the basics of life and philosophy of these people. It is always a great idea to know more about other people. The informed "neighbor" is the safe one. Sincerely, Cynthia Tannehill Faulk, L.E.C.A Earl R. Hunt & Assoc.,Inc. {fax: (512)452-2822
