of international rivalry, revolution and world war. While previous narratives of Anglo-Iranian relations have focused on the highest diplomatic circles in Tehran, London, Calcutta and St. Petersburg, this book argues that British consuls and political agents made the vast southern borderlands of Iran the real centre of British power and influence during this period. Based on British consular archives from Bushihr, Shiraz, Sistan and Muhammarah, this book reveals that Britain, India and Iran were linked together by discourses of colonial knowledge and patterns of political, military and economic control. It also contextualizes the emergence of Iranian nationalism as well as the failure and collapse of the Qajar state during the Iranian Constitutional Revolution and the First World War."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores new media's effectiveness in enhancing socialization among elderly individuals through quantitative and qualitative information. It fills a gap in media studies and gerontology by focusing on older adults' often-overlooked use of new media. The chapters cover topics such as the impact of new media on family structures, the accessibility of media to the elderly, and the role of social media in providing support and engagement for older adults. The chapters deal with empirical evidence on how social media offers new possibilities for engaging and, providing and receiving support. It emphasizes the importance of personality and attitude in technology adoption among older people. It is a valuable resource for scholars in media studies and gerontology and those interested in the intersection of these fields and its implications for urban governance. |
