For four years, Barb kept a detailed journal about the family's experiences, recording people's stories and events both domestic and political, local and national, chronicling the early days of the revolution, as well as the drought and famine moving across this East African nation.

This new, fully updated 8th edition of Bradt's Ethiopia remains the most comprehensive, detailed and thorough guide available, particularly known for its strength of background information, coverage of off-the-beaten track areas, and in-depth details of hotels and other tourist facilities. It also contains far more maps than other guides. Bradt's Ethiopia is also the longest-serving English-language guidebook dedicated to the country, with a history of 25 years of research and expertise. This new edition has been updated by the original author, Philip Briggs, the world's foremost writer of Africa travel guides. Recent years have seen a notable rise in domestic and foreign private investment in the development of new hotels and national parks; this new edition includes all the most up-to-date details reflecting the recent changes, from development of tourist facilities to improved road infrastructure. Bradt's Ethiopia is ideal for visitors of all ages no matter the interest, whether travelling independently or as part of an organised group, from adventurous and active travellers interested in cultural, historical, and wildlife sightseeing to international conference visitors, spa tourists and community-based visitors looking for activities such as trekking and horseriding in the Rift Valley and Simien Mountains. Wildlife and birding visitors who come for Ethiopia's wealth of endemics are also catered for and this new edition includes a dedicated colour section on wildlife and birds. Of all the African nations, Ethiopia is most prone to misconceptions. The 1985 famine and the cracked barren earth of the Danakil Depression are not images quickly forgotten. But this fully updated guide refocuses the lens to reveal an ancient country that continues to surpass all expectations: from the ancient Judaic cultures of the fertile highlands to the Animist people of the South Omo Valley, from the Afroalpine moorland of the Bale Mountains National Park to the thundering Blue Nile Falls. This book also leads you further off the beaten track, so travellers can see more of this expansive and beautiful land, believed to be the cradle of humankind.

This book designed to give knowledge is written about Ethiopia, a nation with long time history known as a country of script and museum of history. For many intellectuals history of Ethiopia has become relevant to / cliche' or unique in African history. Materials covered in this book include transference of Ethiopian heritage to young generation, Sheba's and Ark's history, Amharic language and alphabet, information for tourists, and prayer for Ethio-econo-socio-political development. Since faith has power, life for a Christian is easy because God says in Luke 11:9-10: "Ask and it shall be given to you." In the same token if Ethiopians pray according to John 15:16 and John 16:23-24 in the name of Jesus, to believe in the Cross and to unify the country nothing will prevent to transform their lives and to get answer for their prayer. I, Molla born and raised in Ethiopia/Wollo/ Woldia having a Bachelor's degree in history like to make research in my spare time. Whenever; I write I produce original works. I have submitted my writings in 1990, 1991 and 1994 to Institute of Ethiopian Studies, major research institute of Ethiopia. In those days my writings were about mighty conquerors. After I came to America I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior in 1995. Ever since I accepted Jesus, hungry for the Word of God, I jump for the glory of the Lord whenever; worship starts. As a result miracles in my life continue to flow. Now I am a nurse. Before six years prophesy came to me through Pastor Seifu Kebede (Divine Mission Ministry) that I would be author of books. These days I start to write books to show the greatness of God and the weakness of man.

The author becomes fascinated with Ethiopia after he and his wife live there for two years. This fascination continues to grow as the years pass and they explore other countries, particularly African countries. The idea of bringing this fascination and uniqueness To The attention of others develops, and a book results. To be more specific, factors such as Oldest Christian Empire, one of the oldest -if not the oldest-dynasties in the world (over two thousand years)- one of the oldest written languages, Ge'ez- Ancient Ethiopia one of places where early civilization began-the city-state of Axum where Ethiopia began its dynasty and said to be the repository of the Ark of the Covenant (Ten Commandments). Also there are some remarkable sights to be seen such as the famous rock churches carved out of solid volcanic rock underground during the reign of King Lalibela the Falashan King of Ethiopia. Churches and monasteries are abundant in Ethiopia, many are spectacular to behold and filled with crosses and other religious works. The history of the wars fought among different sections of the country and between countries is gripping. it seems them was never a new ruler without a series of battles to determine the succession. Each ruler was supposed to be descended from King Solomon And The Queen of Sheba. Fact or myth? the Ethiopians say fact. Whatever, it is one of the great stories of Ethiopia. There was one period of over three hundred years when the Solomonic Line was interrupted by the Falashan Line headed by Agaws, who were Jewish (black Jews).The Falashans were said to be descended from the Jewish servants who came back to Ethiopia with Menelik the First( son of Solomon and Sheba). The dynasty ends when Emperor Haile Selassie is dethroned in 1974

Ethiopia is clearly one of the most important countries in Africa. First of all, with about 75 million people, it is the third most populous country in Africa. Second, it is very strategically located, in the Horn of Africa and bordering Eritrea, Sudan, Kenya, and Somalia, with some of whom it has touchy and sometimes worse relations. Yet, its capital – Addis Ababa – is the headquarters of the African Union, the prime meeting place for Africa’s leaders. So, if things went poorly in Ethiopia, this would not be good for Africa, and for a long time this was the case, with internal disruption rife, until it was literally suppressed under the strong rule of the recently deceased Meles Zenawi. The Historical Dictionary of Ethiopia, Second Edition covers the history of Ethiopia through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has several hundred cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Ethiopia.

This book highlights the positive achievements that Imperial Ethiopia made in its journey towards urbanization into the modern era, and undertakes a critical assessment of the economic, political, and social impediments that prevented the country from transitioning into a truly fully fledged modern urbanization. It provides a comprehensive history of the growth of towns between 1887 and 1974. It is organized chronologically, regionally, and thematically, divided into three distinct time periods during which Ethiopian towns saw progresses and exposures to limited modern urban features. First, during 1887–1936, the country saw the creation and growth of a national capital (1887) that coordinated the country’s economic and political activities and facilitated the growth of other towns in the empire. It introduced new towns, the railway, modern schools, and health centers. Rudimentary factories were established in Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa, along with motor cars and modern roads, which increased trade between cities. The next era was the Italian occupation from 1936–1941, which shook the pre-existing process of urban growth by introducing a modern European style urbanization system. Ethiopian cities saw a qualitatively different way of urban growth in both form and content. The Italians introduced modern economic and physical planning, administration, and internal organization. People were introduced to modern life in urban areas, exposed to modern wage labor system, and thus moved to towns to take advantage of the opportunity. The Italian occupation left behind many features of modern urbanization, and this influenced population exposed to modern consumptive tastes was determined to retain what the Italians introduced. Finally, the post-Italian period saw a new era of urban growth. Due to economic and organizational problems resulting from destructions caused by the war, the process of urban growth was slowed down in the early 1940s. Although the government did not introduce a clear urban policy in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, towns continued to grow progressively from the early 1950s to 1974.

The city of Gondar served as a permanent seat of government in Ethiopia for about four centuries, during which time the city witnessed the evolution of various quarters such as Ichage Bet, Abun Bet, Kayla Meda, Islam Bet and Digaye. While some of these quarters pre-date the city itself, others are new additions that are related to the Italian occupation of Ethiopia, 1935-1940. This book is of the saga of Gondar: its quarters tell stories of its socio-economic and cultural operations; about its Judaio-Christian and Islamic population and of its glorious past, its decadence and decay.
