Central Asia in 1993: When the Silk Road ReopenedOn Christmas Day 1991 the Soviet Union disappeared, and five unprepared Central Asian republics became nation states. In December 1992 the author was seconded to the United Nations as an economic advisor to the five countries and to Azerbaijan and Mongolia, which were also in transition from central planning.

On Christmas Day 1991 the Soviet Union disappeared, and five unprepared Central Asian republics became nation states. In December 1992 the author was seconded to the United Nations as an economic advisor to the five countries and to Azerbaijan and Mongolia, which were also in transition from central planning. This book tells the story of the following year in Central Asia.

The Central Asian oases were key points on the silk road from China to West Asia and to Europe, until maritime explorers opened up sea routes that led to several centuries of decline in the region. Conquered by Russia in the nineteenth century and under Communism isolated from the world in the twentieth century, the early 1990s brought dramatic new challenges for the people in the midst of economic and political chaos. The rich history, Islamic traditions and uncertain future made 1993 an interesting year in Central Asia.

INCREDIBLE Product (And Awesome Customer Service!)
I absolutely LOVE My Matchabar Whisk! It works like a charm, and is incredibly more powerful than many other whisks on the market today (I primarily use mine for making ceremonial cacao) One day, due to a random unforeseen malfunction, my whisk stopped working. I was bummed (because I love it so much), so I reached out to their customer service; and instantly they answered my questions in a friendly manner, and sent me a brand new whisk! Highly recommend everything about this company. Woo hoo!

Great customer service
I really liked this handheld frother, it was powerful with 2 speed and easy to charge. Sadly, after 5 months of use it completely stopped working. It took me a minute to find the direct contact to the seller. Amazon makes it nearly impossible to find the direct contact when you have issues and need to reach out to the seller. After digging through the site multiple times, I was finally able to reach out to them directly. After explaining my situation, they are going to replace my hand frother. The customer service rep was nice and understanding of my situation.

If only it lasted!
Loved it - until it stopped working after 6m. I used it for matcha and collagen powders. Purchased specifically because it was a small company. Very effective, also very short lived.

The VERY BEST frother!
This will be the only frother I will buy for the rest of my life! It has amazing power, 2 speed settings, a double whisk, and a case to protect the whisk!!! Thos are so many features that by far shouldve made this frother so much more expensive. I use this everyday for 2 things; to make cold foam for my coffee and I love making shaken espressos at home but the noise of shaking the coffee and ice wake up my small children which is absolutely unforgivable so I use this frother instead and its amazing. If all the things previously mentioned werent enough let this next part convince you; my frother wasnt working properly a few morning ago, it was a little less powerful than usual and so I send a message to the seller and they sent me a new one no questions asked!!!! OMG i had never had such a pleasant experience like that, i was shocked they have raised the bar for me for what I should expect customer service to be. I received my new one superfast only took 2 days I was amazed !!! The only frother I will ever continue to buy !!!!!

Great product even if it dies in a little over a year.
I bought this in May 2023 and it's July 2024. I went on a trip for 6 days and when I came back, it wouldn't turn on. It could possibly be because I've used it every day and suddenly stopped. Either way, I'm disappointed in the longevity of this product. For the price I expected more, but nothing is made to last any more. That being said, I love the design and rechargeable aspect. The cap is awesome for storage and clean up is super easy. This little machine packs a punch as long as you have enough liquid. I've never had issues with lumps or performance in general. I will purchase this product again to see if it was just a fluke.
