	The Orient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, Mizrahi Jews (native to the Middle East) are often referred to as Oriental Jews and the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies focuses on the Middle East, East Asia and Africa.
		As awareness of the countries of Eastern Asia grew in Western European and American consciousness in the late 19th century, the term came to refer primarily to China, Japan, and the surrounding nations.
		The terms "Middle Eastern" and "Westerner" follow the same pattern as "oriental", yet are subject to less controversy.

		The countries in Asia all have a great effect on each other’s economies; that is to say that the crisis in the region has shown that when one country is plagued by economic problems, the other countries begin to be affected (Wade and Veneroso 1998).
		One of the particularly stronger arguments to beginning an AMF is that Eastern Asia would be better suited to an organization built to accommodate the specific needs of the countries in the region.
		If there were a fund for Asia, and Asia alone, where the money was from the area, and where it would be repaid, the amount that the "debt burden" was felt would decrease (United Nations 291).

	The War in Eastern Asia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In November 1943, the Anglo-American Southeast Asia Command (SEAC) was formed with Adm. Lord Louis Mountbatten (later 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma) as supreme commander, and General Stilwell as his deputy, with the object of controlling all operations in Southeast Asia.
		The Japanese were able to gain all their objectives in Asia in 1941-1942, for the United States was unready for war, and Britain, fighting single-handed in Europe, could not find the means with which to defend her interests in the Far East adequately.
		It was thus the surrender of her wide-flung armies in Asia which followed, rather than their defeat in the field, that eventually freed the greater part of the Asian mainland from Japanese domination.

		The eastern region of South Asia is considered most fertile region in the world where the mighty rivers Ganges and Brahmaputra carry life-giving water and silt from the Himalayas.
		During the seventh to third millennium BC these cultures of eastern part of South Asia were probably passing through the Neolithic phase, based on their subsistence economy which was conditioned by local environment and capacity to exploit its resources.

	Greek Mythology, Eastern Asia Minor and the Caucasus, Armenian Mythology, Georgian Mythology
		Eastern Asia Minor and the Caucasus appear in the myths of two related deities, Prometheus and Hephaestus, who are primarily gods of metallurgy.
		The land of the Arimi and eastern Asia Minor generally is considered the birthplace of a significant number of such multi-headed or hybrid monsters as the Chimera (a fire-breathing goat-lion-snake), the Hydra, the hounds Cerberus and Orthus, the Sphinx, the Nemean lion and the Crommyonian sow.
		There is a definite clustering of the deities, heroes, and heroines relating to eastern Asia Minor and the Caucasus into several genealogical lines, all of which derive from the most ancient pre-Olympian gods, the Titans.

	The Internet in Eastern Asia and its users
		When the 12 countries of Eastern Asia are compared in terms of their Internet Power Index, they form a clear-cut hierarchy, one which did not exist at all a few years ago.
		Detailed inspection of Table 13 (Projected distribution of Internet skills in Eastern Asia in 2009, percentages) indicates that by year 2009 the percentage of people in Malaysia with better than basic Internet skills is likely to increase from the current rate of about 9% of total population to about 31%.
		The division of populations of Eastern Asia, as well as the rest of the world, into two differently skilled classes of people alerts us to the rise of yet another set of phenomena.

	Eastern Asia Minor and the Caucasus in Ancient Mythologies, Armenian mythology
		This study examines the geographical references and allusions to eastern Asia Minor and the Caucasus in the ancient myths of the Greeks, Sumerians, Hurrians, Iranians, and Indians, and analyzes the images they define.
		Before turning to an examination of the relevant myths, two topics must be discussed briefly for the light they shed on the myths themselves: (1) the ecology of the area in antiquity, and (2) difficulties involved with using mythological material for research in general.
		Because of its favorable cool climate, eastern Asia Minor was home to prized varieties of hardwood trees essential for building, trees which did not grow in the hotter Mesopotamian lands to the south (6).

		The discontinuous distribution of the same or closely related taxa of plants between eastern North America and eastern Asia is but one of several patterns of disjunction that become evident when the flora of the temperate Northern Hemisphere is considered (Raven, 1972; Thorne, 1972; Wood, 1972; and others).

		This course is intended as a graduate colloquium on socialism and revolution in Eastern Asia.
		Eastern Asia is understood to encompass both East and Southeast Asia, although the emphasis is primarily on China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam (Other Southeast and some South Asian societies will be brought in in the second half of the course in the Winter quarter).
		The premise of the course is that even if revolutionaries were guided by specific national goals, revolutionary activity in Eastern Asia was transnational in process and ideological formations.

	EURASIA
		The overall picture of aridity in southern Asia fits in with the African evidence to suggest a general failure of the summer monsoon rains to penetrate as far north as at present, and a tendency to be less abundant where they did fall.
		It suggests that there was indeed a net loss of lowland rainforests in south-east Asia, and that the adjacent montane pollen records do not acknowledge this drying; possibly because their rainfall totals are too large to register effects from any similar diminution in rainfall that did occur in the mountains.
		Thomas and Thorp emphasise that one might expect that if there was a large area of shelf exposed in SE Asia, this central area would tend to receive less rainfall from the sea, and an initial loss of forest would be amplified due to a reduction in transpirational recycling of water across the land surface.

	Blood Pressure, Not Cholesterol, More Important Stroke Risk In Eastern Asia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		LONDON, ENGLAND -- Dec. 4, 1998 -- A large study of the risk of stroke in eastern Asia, reported in The Lancet this week, found that blood pressure is an important determinant of risk of stroke among people in this region, whereas blood cholesterol concentration seems to be less important.
		For a decrease in blood pressure of 5 mm Hg the risk of a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain or the membranes surrounding it (hemorrhagic stroke) decreased by 46 percent and the risk of non-hemorrhagic stroke (caused by blood clots in blood vessels serving the brain) decreased by 39 percent.
		The project was based on results from 18 previous studies in eastern Asia.

		The cultures of Eastern Asia have in turn shaped how capitalism organizes labor, capital, and markets, in ways that could not have been anticipated.
		On the basis of rich empirical analyses of East and Southeast Asia, and with theoretical insights from different approaches in the social sciences, Culture and Economy addresses these issues in both macroscopic and microscopic terms.
		These careful case studies suggest that it is inevitable that Eastern Asia will shape, even remake, capitalism into a system of production and consumption beyond its original definition.
