The resulting treaty in 1853 ensured better treatment by the Japanese authorities of shipwrecked seamen and permitted American ships to dock at two Japanese ports to refuel and to seek supplies. "The most important result. was that the visit contributed to the collapse of the feudal regime and to the modernization of Japan" Hill. "As one of the chief diplomatic achievements of the 19th century the opening of Japan by the treaty negotiated by Perry will long make the name of Perry memorable. His expedition marked a departure in Occidental policy restricting Japan in American policy respecting the Orient and in Japanese policy respecting the Western world. In June 1855 Perry was ordered to Washington where his chief duty for more than a year was the preparation of a report of his expedition which was published by the government in 1856" DAB. hardcover

1999Sauber erhalten. Verlag: Auf seiner Suche nach den letzten wildlebenden Baktrischen Kamelen, einem der seltensten Tiere der Erde, unternahm John Hare Expeditionen in die mongolische Wüste Gobi sowie in die Gashun Gobi, ein entlegenes und unwirtliches Gebiet in der chinesischen Provinz Xinjiang. Hare und seinem Team ist es gelungen, weltweit das Interesse an dem vom Aussterben bedrohten Baktrischen Kamel zu wecken. Dank seinem Verhandlungsgeschick und seinen unermüdlichen Bemühungen konnte der Autor die chinesischen Behärden davon überzeugen, ein Naturreservat einzurichten, in dem die Kamele heute vor illegaler Jagd geschützt sind. Hier erzählt er die Geschichte seiner abenteuerlichen Reisen, Begegnungen und Erfahrungen, die er in dieser 'den Weite gesammelt hat. Das Buch ist ein mitreißender Bericht über Wüstenabenteuer, Naturschutz und internationale Diplomatie. ISBN 9783502152897

Hanway was both a widely traveled merchant with connections to the Russia Company and a philanthropist whose causes included foundlings prostitutes and the climbing apprentices of chimney sweeps. His mother's death in 1755 prompted him to return to Portsmouth where she was buried that sojourn served as inspiration for this his second book to which he appended An Essay on Tea. Hanway describes many of the places he visited including Salisbury with its great cathedral and Stonehenge with digressions on tombstones sacred music and oratorios divine poetry temperance lapdogs false grief the ruling passion of women and much else. His Essay on Tea indicts the beverage for causing everything from insomnia weak nerves and scurvy to bad teeth and proposes 'Herbs of our own growth in lieu of tea.' Oliver Goldsmith Samuel Johnson and other ardent tea-drinkers criticized these eccentric views in The Idler and other publications. N. B.
