Historical Muscat : an illustrated guide and gazetteer /
:
Historical Muscat is an attempt to define and explain the historical environment that determined the significance and design of Oman's capital city Muscat, its twin city Matrah, and their environs prior to 1970. It also examines how the development of the Muscat conurbation since 1970 has transcended the historical boundaries of the existing settlements and how the process of development has proceeded largely without any consideration of the impact on Muscat's tangible or remembered history. At the heart of the book is a historical gazetteer of forts, gates, palaces, mosques, houses, quarters, settlements, and other sites covering the broader Muscat region from Bandar Jissah to al-Sib. The text is accompanied by a large number of illustrations, including maps from various eras and both historical and more contemporary photographs.

The priorities for the next decades in the 21st century are discussed. Agriculture and consequently agricultural research are now localised in a much broader perspective. The focus is on Europe but the interaction with the other parts of the world is taken into account.Towards an Agenda for Agricultural Research in Europe gives a valuable overview of what is going on in Europe with regard to foresight studies and topics like sustainable development, consumer-orientation, safety and quality of food, environmental issues, non-food agroproduction, land use, the potential of biotechnology and new ways of structuring and steering of agricultural research. This book is indispensable in the next coming years as a guide for all those involved in policy and decision-making for agricultural research and agriculture.
