Abstract

"In 1893, Georgian horsemen from the Caucasus immigrated to the United States where for more than 30 years they performed in circuses and Wild West shows under the billing of "Russian Cossacks." The connection between Buffalo Bill Cody and the Georgian trick riders represents one of the earliest relationships between Georgia and the United States"--

Abstract

Les treize homélies en géorgien qu'offre ce volume datent probablement du début du IXe siècle et sont traduites pour la première fois en français. Leur auteur, Jean de Bolnisi, évêque dans le Caucase, n'est pas autrement connu ; mais son œuvre, un peu comme le Journal de voyage d'Égérie 500 ans plus tôt, est un reflet fidèle de la liturgie ancienne de Jérusalem, que pratiquait encore la Géorgie à l'époque de Jean avant qu'elle ne s'aligne, deux siècles plus tard, sur la liturgie de Constantinople. Cet homéliaire est de plus l'unique collection patristique complète que nous ayons sur les évangiles des dimanches de Carême, augmentée de trois autres homélies (sur l'épiscopat, pour la Dédicace, pour Pâques). - L'introduction rassemble tous les éléments disponibles sur l'auteur, sa culture, ses sources - y compris dans l'homilétique juive -, la liturgie qu'il célèbre, et sur l'organisation du Carême et de son lectionnaire, en retraçant autant qu'il est possible son histoire, de Jérusalem à Byzance.

Abstract

This book discusses the political and economic history and geography of Georgia, the problems it has faced, and how it has overcome and is still overcoming them. In most countries, at the end of the 20th century the successful resolution of social-economic, political, demographic and ecological problems was largely dependent on effectively protecting the population and economic assets from natural disasters and on ensuring conditions for their sustainable development. These problems are most acute in mountainous regions like Georgia, where the unplanned development of natural ecosystems has had drastic consequences. It is therefore necessary to understand not only the probability of changing conditions (natural as well as political and demographic), but also the probability of the resulting economic losses.                The book is divided into four sections; historical and political geography, geological processes, ecological processes and developmental geography. In  the historical and political geography section  the authors present a detailed discussion on ancient history, historical and political geography, ethnic groups and  religions, demographics and  socio-cultural geography. The geological processes section contains information on geology, geodynamical processes, glacial and periglacial processes.  The ecological processes section examines a variety of landscapes and ecosystems, aspects of deforestation, reforestation and desertification along with anthropogenic impacts on the environment. The developmental geography section looks at different economies, natural resources,  sustainable development and climate change.  .
