Because of it's unique geography-situated at the borders of Europe and Asia, between the Caspian and Black seas-the Caucasus has been at the crossroads of multiple empires as well as home to an exceptionally diverse population, resulting in a rich mosaic of history, culture, religion and language. Early Arab travelers referred to the region as the "Mountains of Tongues," a term that reflected both the geographic and linguistic variety. An incredible number of languages and traditions still exist, but many have yet to be thoroughly documented and are close to disappearing completely. Since the fall of the Soviet Union the majority of attention the Caucasus has received from the outside world has been as a result of wars in Chechnya, Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The countries of this region have also struggled to forge national identities, a process that has often resulted in the exclusion of smaller folk cultures (ethnic Azeris from Georgia, Kurds from Tbilisi, Avars and Lezgis from Azerbaijan, or Molokan's in the South Caucasus, all groups that don't fit the category of "national" folk music). Mountains of Tongues: Musical Dialects from the Caucasus includes recordings of songs in languages that have rarely been caught on tape (Lezgi and Batsbi), instruments that only exist in extremely small numbers (the Tushetian chianuri, of which there are only two, and the agach komuz from the remote territory of Dagestan) and performances from a variety of underrepresented ethnic minority communities. These musicians, whether they recognize it or not, are guardians of the distinct musical cultures of the Caucasus, a region whose many traditions are still relatively unknown to the rest of the world. The Sayat Nova Project is a non-profit group with the goal of preserving and promoting the musical dialects of the Caucasus. The recordings on this album were made between September 2012 and June 2013 in villages, towns and cities across the South Caucasus. Members of the project recorded more than 50 musicians playing a wide variety of instruments and singing in ten different languages. Mountains of Tongues presents the music of the Caucasus without regard to political borders. Through the inclusion of recordings by Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians, Chechens and many others ethnicities, it represents this region's unique traditions and shared histories and emphasize the diversity that exists within these "mountains of music."

Poor footbed but otherwise good.
Size: 10, Color: British Tan/Dark Chocolate/Natural
Comfortable. Replaced mediocre footbed that has no arch support with something else and it is now great. True to size.

A notebook that stands up extremely well to bad weather and harsh working conditions
Color: Tan, Size: 1 Pack
Now that I've used this notebook, I can't see myself using any other kind. I travel a lot and need a notebook with me at all times. That means the notebook I have with me is going to get wet frequently and take a beating in my pocket. This notebook is perfect. Rain/sweat have no effect on my written notes or my ability to write. The pages are thick which prevents tearing. The cover and binding are quite sturdy, rather than getting bent like cheaper notebooks. At 4x6 inches this fits in my cargo pocket without a problem and gives me plenty of writing space. If you are going to carry the notebook in your front pocket I'd suggest the smaller 3x5 version. The ruler on the back page was not something I thought about but has come in handy several times. No, this is certainly not the cheapest notebook available, but it is a reasonable price for a high quality product. If you are using this for field work, it is probably worth the cost. My work notes are certainly more valuable to me than the couple extra bucks spent. And really, how often do you fill up a notebook? I only go through one every month or two so it's not very costly. You cannot use gel type pens with this notebook, only normal ballpoint pens or pencils. I suggest using a Fisher Space Pen, it works very well with this notebook (also available on Amazon Prime for under $10)

Wet proof is great
Color: Blue, Size: 6 Pack
As a nurse, I am able to put this in my scrub pocket and make notes as I go along. I also write down my patients' meds so I can refer to it when the computer is not available or not with me. Since it is wet proof I can sanitize it when (and not if) it gets something on it. I use a ballpoint pen and have used a pencil and none of my writing gets smeared or erased by the disinfectant wipes. Since I have these books stored securely in my locker if something comes up in the future with someone I can refer back to them for answers not found in the chart. I use my book when I am giving shift report which is very helpful when I have to tell the know-it-all nurse every little detail because she wants to eat breakfast instead of reading orders and notes. Some of my coworkers have also ordered their own books. A great product and very durable.
