THIS work is a general introduction to Swaziland since its founding as the Swazi nation. Its boundaries during precolonial times extended far beyond the borders of the modern state of Swaziland and included large portions of modern South Africa. The book provides some details about the land, the history and the people of Swaziland today and how they live. It also focuses on Swaziland during the early years of independence and her place in the context of southern Africa and of Africa as a whole then and now. It may help stimulate interest in some people to learn more about the country and may be enough to satisfy the curiosity of others who only want to learn some basic facts about this nation.

Combining history, geography, cultural study, and travelogue, this engaging look at Portugal is a fascinating introduction to its rich, turbulent history and people.

Something about the Southwest draws people who are independent. From the Apaches who migrated south six hundred years ago to the Spanish exploring north Mexico not much later to the Anglo American who ventured west, these were people who wanted to live, as one Comanche leader said, "where the wind blows free and there is nothing to break the light of the sun." A History of the Southwest explores these people, their clashes with each other, with the environment, and finally with the forces of an increasingly complex economy. Thomas Sheridan takes the behavior of individuals--Geronimo, Wyatt Earp, Theodore Roosevelt--and local cultural groups--Pueblo Indians, southern European miners, ranchers--and shows how it was acted out on the lager stage of the environment, economics, and politics.

In fact, before the Russian aggression in 2022, the name Ukraine meant nothing at all to many of us. To dispel this ignorance concerning “the second largest Slavic nation," this little book was already written in 1910 by the famous geographer of the University of Lemberg. He divides his discussion into two sections: the first a treatise on the physical geography of Ukraine, describing its geographic unity, its general topography, and giving detailed information concerning its streams, climate. flora, and fauna; the second, concerned with the Ukraine's anthropogeography, a clear and concise exposition of those national qualities which entitle the Ukrainians to an independent national existence. Such foundations for national independence are, in the words of the author, “independent anthropological characteristics: a distinct independent language; uniform historico-political traditions an aspirations, and independent culture, and a compact geographical territory." A general survey of the natural and industrial resources of Ukrainia, and a description of her districts and settlements conclude the discussion.
