Description: This book deals with the legal status of the three islands of Abu Musa, and the Greater and Lesser Tumbs. In December 1971, the sixty-seven years of the Anglo-Iranian dispute over the islands transformed itself into Irano-UAE conflict--a conflict which Iran considers a colonial legacy inherited by the United Arab Emirates. The alliance of convenience between Iran and Britain cemented under Shah Abbas in the early seventeenth century had faded away by the mid-eighteenth century, after the collapse of the Safavid Dynasty. During the nineteenth century, the Anglo-Iranian relationship evolved into mutual distrust and resentment. The matter is complex, particulary because material facts and evidence, relating to a very short span of time in the nineteenth century, are ambiguous and debatable. British Colonial interests and past interventions have marred the evidence. Hence, clarification of the material facts and the choice of applicable law form the crux of the present study. This is a multi-disciplinary study, dealing with geography, history, economics, politics, international relations and law.

Description: The years 1961 to 1965 saw a political struggle take over from the armed conflict of the 1950s. Alhough the rebellion in the interior had been suppressed the Imamate took their claims of oppressive government, and alleged public hostility to Sultan Said bin Taimur, to the United Nations. However, in 1961, a resolution in support of a separate independence for Oman failed despite the support of a number of Arab states which dissapproved of the close links Sultan Said bin Taimur maintained with the British Government. In 1963 a UN Commission refuted the Imamate's claims against Sultan Said bin Taimur but a committee was formed to study the problem. In 1965 it submitted its report and a UN resolution was finally formed which included the recommendation of 'the elimination of British domination in any form'.

Description: The United Arab Emirates has emerged in the latter half of the twentieth century as a country of the new millennium. Its transformation from a land that time had all but forgotten to a glittering modern nation has been rapid and spectacular. Where there were tracks in the sand, there are eight-lane highways and cloverleaf interchanges; where there were simple houses built of palm fronds and coral blocks, there are glass and steel skyscrapers; where there was a small population hard-pressed to survive on fishing, herding and trading, there is a cosmopolitan mix of nationalities living in a healthy and prosperous environment. It would be easy to forget the monumental strides that have been taken over the space of barely two generations. Fortunately, old photographs exist, many of them taken by pilots whose duties have brought them to the region over the years, to show the extent of the changes. It was while studying some of these old photos – the “then” part of the title – that John Nowell, himself a pilot and photographer, decided to try to duplicate the photographers’ location to achieve the “now” views of Now & Then: The Emirates. His work has taken him through all seven emirates, both in the air and on the ground, and in the process revealed many sights and details that might easily have simply vanished with time. At Bitna, he photographed the same guard whose decades-old picture had been supplied. A spectacular geological formation in Ras Al Khaimah is still clearly visible, while elsewhere dredging has changed channels and coastline beyond recognition. Now & Then: The Emirates provides a fascinating insight into a nation in transition, a beautiful and historical photographic record, and an inspiration for photographers in the years to come.
