A condensed history of Greece from prehistoric times to the civil war that followed World War II. 37 full color maps. Hellenika narrates a unique story of a small physical geographical location that spawned a people with unusual intelligence, energy and daring. Although it relates the history of a country called Greece, it is more the story of the Greek people and where they settled, what they did, and the centuries-long influence they had on other peoples.

In his first book, Stephen Tzikas provides a comprehensive look at what we can expect Greece and the world to be like over the next 300 years. As an engineering graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of New South Wales, Stephen Tzikas combines his technological background and career expertise, his experiences of living and traveling around the world, and his interests and knowledge in Greek history and politics to predict the social and political possibilities of the future.He explores a variety of possible scenarios, including how our economies may be revolutionized in the near future; how democracy may come under threat by technology, even in the United States; how Marxism may challenge the world capitalist system; how Greece's relations with her neighbors and the world may be played out; how the Greek Orthodox Church may change its perspective; how the military may change warfare of the future; how contact with extraterrestrial life could doom man; and how a natural or nuclear disaster could devastate our planet.With each scenario, the author offers suggestions for meeting the future with a plan for Greece to promote the well being of Hellenism and lessen the impact of a dangerous new world. This book is a must for any real enthusiast of Greece or life in the future.

Acclaim for A FAREWELL TO IKAROS "Americans often live abroad to understand their country-and themselves-better. Elizabeth Boleman-Herring shows us how in a marvel-filled book that is a love story, a psychological thriller, an expert travelogue, and an ode to Greece." -Jim Hoagland, Foreign Correspondent &amp; Columnist "...essential reading not only for students of contemporary Greek culture but for all who can learn from an honest and wise sensibility artfully rendered." -Edmund Keeley, Author of "Inventing Paradise: The Greek Journey, 1937-47 "While many high-paid television journalists will be completely and utterly forgotten, Kevin Andrews's "The Flight of Ikaros" and "Castles of the Mores" will be cherished by a select few for all time. This book provides precious details about his life and death." -Robert D. Kaplan, Author of "Balkan Ghosts" and "Mediterranean Winter" Acclaim for GREEK UNORTHODOX: BANDE A PARTE "Boleman-Herring is an inveterate traveler, seeing journeys as a metaphor for life and learning, and this volume is a joy for those of us who are tied to our armchairs by whatever set of circumstances. Here we have evocative glimpses of places as varied as Constantinople, Mykonos, the Meteora, Santorini and the Mani, all viewed through a hypersensitive and acutely receptive eye." -Gillian Bouras, Author of "A Stranger Here"

Greek Unorthodox: Bande a Part; And, a Farewell to Ikaros

Boleman-Herring, Elizabeth

This is a brief chronicle of a remarkable island that, as a result of the energy, talent, and cleverness of its people, ascended to marvelous levels of prosperity. It is a testimonial to the proud Chians. They are a people committed to their families, to their island, and to their culture. Fight though they may, the ending is inevitable. They will gradually surrender to that which we call progress. The sameness shall prevail in Chios, as it shall everywhere. Hopefully, this account will survive to tell future generations, not only what happened in Chios, but what happened. Chios, it's been called the fragrant isle, because of its citrus groves, its masticha, and its jasmine. Some Chians claim they can discern the bouquet of their beloved Chios from the shores of Anatolia in the east, and the port of Piraeus in the west. It's been called the tortured island, because of its tragic massacres, and its numerous natural disasters. It's been called the joyous isle because of its prosperity, because of the legendary beauty of its women, because

In March of 1921, journalist Kostas Faltaits arrived in Asia Minor (today's Turkey) sent by newspaper Embros to cover Greece's movements in the Greco-Turkish War. By the time he arrived in the region of Nicomedia (today's Izmit) - a region inhabited by a large number of Greek, Armenian and Circassian communities - Kemalist forces had set fire to many of the villages, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. Faltaits came face to face with the fleeing survivors of these massacres, and was able to collect these valuable and graphic eye-witness testimonies which were published in both Greek and French at the time. Translated for the very first time in English and with a prologue by Tessa Hofmann, this edition will shed some light into just one of the many chapters of the Greek Genocide, a genocide which claimed the life of approximately one million Greeks living in the former Ottoman Empire.
