scholars and writers of Iranica hailing from the University of British
Columbia, University of Ottawa, Stanford University, Harvard University,
and universities in Iran (not named by request); informal consultations
were also made with museum directors as well as archaeologists, linguists
and historians in Poland, Iran, Hungary and Georgia.

"Culture of Iran Youth Series" presents the first of four books to cover Iranian history and culture in a pictorial format
ANCIENT IRAN
A pictorial history for young readers aged 8 and up Culture of Iran Youth Series
Discover the great civilizations of the Iranian plateau - from the "Burnt City" in Sistan & Baluchistan in eastern Iran (3000 BC) to the splendor of the Sasanian court in the city of Cteisphon In modern Iraq in the 7th century AD.
Massoume Price, Canadian based writer, author of Iran's Diverse Peoples has released a new book which aims to educate young readers about the cultural history of one of today's most contentious and mysterious world powers. Spanning a 5,500-year period, Ancient Iran is the first book to document the ancient civilizations of the Iranian plateau in a pictorial format for young readers. Through a visually stimulating collection of over 260 high quality images of museum objects and accessible writing, young readers will gain insight into the life, believes and cultural practices of ancient Iranians and their contribution to the civilizations of antiquity. The publisher believes this book comes at a key time - when today's youth are growing up in a world where Iran's cultural and political practices are continually questioned on the world stage. Understanding Iranian cultural history has become more valuable than ever before. This book will also be of particular interest to second- and third-generation Iranians in various continents who wish to educate their children about the cultural history of their ancestors. Educated in both Iran and England, Massoume Price has written extensively on many aspects of Iranian culture. Her book Iran's Diverse Peoples (2005); was called by the Middle East Quarterly "must reading for anyone who wants to understand ethnic and religious diversity in Iran". Her website - www.cultureofiran.com - is used widely as an on-line reference source.

Persia, and the East
To
illuminate the creative uses Shakespeare made of the East, this book
first looks at the life of the playwright himself, then at the dynasties
that did so much to shape England and Persia in that tumultuous age.
Other sections in the book profile key figures in the efforts to forge
a connection between the two lands, with particular focus on the colorful
Sherleys and their fatally ambitious sponsor, the Earl of Essex—a
great admirer of Shakespeare. The final section of the book briefly
describes the plays and cites their many allusions to the East—testimony
that this literary giant was very much a man of his time.

Pardis Sabeti, Cool Super Scientist and singer Thursday, May 22, 2008
By night she's a rocker. By day, she's a Harvard geneticist tracking the evolution of the human genome.
Sometimes you read about someone who has so many accomplishments it's hard to figure when they have time to sleep. Pardis Sabeti is one of those people. The profile of the 32-year old biological anthropologist in the April 25 issue of Science was pretty amazing:
developed
a "novel test for natural selection in the human genome" which
is being used in research on the evolution of resistance to malaria
and Lassa fever named by
the London Daily Telegraph as one of the "top 100 living geniuses" In some ways she is the stereotypical driven genius scientist. She attended top schools: undergrad at MIT, Rhodes scholarship at Oxford University, graduation from Harvard Medical School with summa cum laude honors (presented to the "single most deserving student among a graduating class and is not automatically awarded every year"). Her research on the evolution of resistance to tropical diseases in affected human populations may eventually result in better vaccines and therapies. She is a nerd at heart. As she told Science: "Even
though I am gregarious, I interact more with [scientific] papers than
with people. Deep down, I am just a math geek." "My
mother crated a summer camp in our house, where she would teach the
children and make us do book reports. And my sister, who is 2 years
older than me, would teach me and my cousin what she had learned in
school." With support
from the MIT Council for the Arts and a women-in-science program sponsored
by L’Oreal, Dr. Sabeti is planning a series of music videos featuring
Boston-based science luminaries such as Dr. Lander and artificial intelligence
expert Marvin Minsky. You can see one of them when she is profiled on NOVA, scheduled to air in July. For more about her research and her thoughts on women in science, check out the video below of her talk at Seed Magazine's Inspiration Festival in 2006:

Persian & Spanish-A Beautiful Bilingual Music-What an Orchestra!!! A Beautiful Bilingual Music
By clicking on the above link, you can enjoy a beautiful song performed by Iranian singer, Shahkar Bineshpajooh, and a Spanish singer. It is interesting to note that the Iranian male singer sings in Spanish and the Spanish female singer sings in Persian (Farsi). This is a fantastic duet. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Yerevan Symphony Orchestra play the music.
