A STUDY OF THE HEPHTHALITE HISTORY是同作者《嚈哒史研究》一书的英文版,是作者研究嚈哒史的专著。 嚈哒初是北亚一个弱小的游牧部族,四世纪七十年代迁往中亚,以后日益强大起来,开始了大规模的征服。极盛时期的嚈哒国幅员辽阔,除领有大部分中亚地区外,还一度占有波斯和印度的大片领土。从五世纪三十年代末嚈哒人占领今阿富汗北部,直至六世纪五十年代末嚈哒国家被突厥和波斯联盟灭亡,这一百二十年左右的时间在中亚史上称为嚈哒时代。嚈哒人的活动对中亚、北亚、南亚、西亚乃至欧洲的历史都产生了深远的影响。因此,嚈哒史研究是古代中亚史研究一个不可缺少的环节,也是中国西域史、波斯古代史和印度古代史研究的重要组成部分。也就是说,嚈哒史研究有其不容忽视的世界史意义。自十九世纪中叶起,各国学者纷纷发表有关嚈哒史研究的论文。20

A companion volume carries the story forward to the PaceTreaty of 1783.
A History of Queensland is the first single volume analysis ofQueensland's past, stretching from the time of earliest humanhabitation up to the present. It encompasses pre-contact Aboriginalhistory, the years of convictism, free settlement and subsequenturban and rural growth. It takes the reader through the tumultuousfrontier and Federation years, the World Wars, the Cold War, thecontroversial Bjelke-Petersen era and on, beyond the beginning ofthe new millennium. It reveals Queensland as a sprawling, harsh,diverse and conflictual place, where the struggles of race,ethnicity, class, generation and gender have been particularlypronounced, and political and environmental encounters haveremained intense. It is a colourful, surprising and at timesdisturbing saga, a perplexing and diverting mixture of ferocity,endurance and optimism.
