Politically, Iran has been in the dog house for many years, but touristically, it is mellowing and even Americans can visit. The current political situation in this part of the world(I'm referring to ISIS/ISIL) creating a rapid re-evaluation of Iran. For this reason alone, it is time for a new map of the country. We have decided to combine our Tehran map with our Iran map, saving customers the necessity of needing two maps for visiting the country.The information for side A, on Tehran itself, is exceptionally good, but we caution that changes are likely to occur over the next year due to probable realignments resulting from ISIS activity in the region.Side B, the map of the country itself, is very detailed and quite suitable for anyone travelling around the country. IT also shows the strategic importance of Iran very clearly.Having visited Iran, I can testify to the warmth and hospitality of the Iranian people and to the touristic pleasure one obtains visiting ruins, historic cities,religious centers, and desert-like terrain. Tehran remains available as a separate title as well.

Israel es un destino verdaderamente apasionante para los amantes de la historia, y sin duda ineludible para el peregrino católico, pues en esta latitud vivió y murió Jesºs de Nazareth y tuvieron lugar muchos de los hechos narrados en el Antiguo Testamento, en lo que hoy se considera “Tierra Santa”. Jerusalen, disputada por muchos pueblos a lo largo de la historia, es sin duda una de las ciudades mas bellas y especiales del mundo. Es mucho lo que Israel ofrece al visitante en tan poca extension: la costa mediterranea cuenta con hermosas playas, entre las que destacan las de la hedonista y moderna ciudad de Tel Aviv, ademas de fascinantes visitas historicas como Cesarea y San Juan de Acre. La region de Galilea, escenario de casi toda la vida de Jesºs, sorprende mas alla de la devocion por la tranquila belleza del lago Tiberiades. El desertico sur israeli ofrece las aguas del mar Muerto, en las que los cuerpos flotan. Para relajarse en las playas del mar Rojo, en frontera egipcia, esta la moderna ciudad de Eilat, con todas las comodidades y actividades de un moderno resort turistico.

A comparative study of Ming and Iberian theaters has never been attempted. Thus, this book aims to provide the reader with a series of different approaches. First, through a comparison of specific works by Spanish and Chinese playwrights during the Ming and Habsburg periods. At the same time, this is a book that also finds the thrill of correspondences and affinities as they are recovered through modern staging, climate change, universality of emotions, representations of friendship, folk characters, metaphors and dreams. This volume includes articles by Bruce R. Burningham, Jorge Abril Sanchez, Frederick A. de Armas, Juan Pablo Gil-Osle, Carmela V. Mattza Su, Alejandro Gonzalez Puche, Ma Zhenghong, Maria Jose Dominguez, Matthew Ancell, Javier Rubiera, and Claudia Mesa Higuera.
