	Cereal Chem 1997 \| Physicochemical Properties of Common and Tartary Buckwheat Starch.
		Starch color, especially b, differed greatly between tartary* (7.99-9.57) and common (1.97-2.42) buckwheat, indicating that removal of yellow pigments from tartary buckwheat flour may be problematic during starch isolation.
		Starch swelling volume in water of reference wheat starch (2.8% solids and 92.5°C) was 20.1 mL; for the three common buckwheat starches it was 27.4-28.0 mL; and for the three tartary buckwheat starches it was 26.5-30.8 mL.
		A comparison of pasting characteristics of common and tartary buckwheat starches to wheat starch indicated similar peak viscosity, higher hot paste viscosity, higher cool paste viscosity, smaller effect of NaCl on peak viscosity, and higher resistance to shear thinning.

		In Elizabethan parlance, "Tartary" was the expanse of southern Asia stretching from the khanates of Turkestan to the borders of China under Mongolian rule — an empire that even at its apex never included Ottoman lands or encroached upon the western shore of the Caspian Sea.
		Eastward to Tartary is an account of several different trips through Bulgaria and Romania, Turkey and the Middle East, and the southern tier of the former Soviet Union.
		And in both countries, it is the technocratic former Politburo members, Shevardnadze and Aliyev, who have held sway for the past decade, rescuing the fledgling nations from their idealistic and incompetent founders.

		Yet The Lost Camels of Tartary is also a compelling account of Hare's growing commitment to the cause of the remarkably resilient wild Bactrian camel, living on a diet of salt water and radiation courtesy of the bombardment of its natural habitat by repeated Chinese nuclear tests.
		The Lost Camels of Tartary is a remarkable story of one man's determination, and which promises a happy ending for the camel.

		In the beginning of the thirteenth century, Temugin, the son of a Mogul chief, laid the foundations of a vast empire in the north east of Tartary or Mongolia.
		In person, or by means of his lieutenants, he successfully reduced the nations, tribes, or hordes of Tartary or Scythia, from China to the Volga, and established his undisputed authority over the whole pastoral world.
		Having thus traced an outline of the revolutions of empire in Tartary, down to what may be considered as modern history, it is only necessary farther to mention, that all eastern Tartary and Mongalia is now subject to China, and Kipzac and all the northern to Russia.

		TARTARY If I were Lord of Tartary, Myself and me alone, My bed should be of ivory, Of beaten gold my throne; And in my court would peacocks flaunt, And in my forests tigers haunt, And in my pools great fishes slant Their fins athwart the sun.
		If I were Lord of Tartary, Trumpeters every day To every meal should summon me, And in my courtyard bray; And in the evening lamps would shine, Yellow as honey, red as wine, While harp, and flute, and mandoline, Made music sweet and gay.
		If I were Lord of Tartary, I'd wear a robe of beads, White, and gold, and green they'd be-- And clustered thick as seeds; And ere should wane the morning-star, I'd don my robe and scimitar, And zebras seven should draw my car Through Tartary's dark glades.

		President-elect George W. Bush could do a lot worse in preparing for the foreign affairs part of his job than to read "Eastward to Tartary" by Robert D. Kaplan, a scholarly and adventurous journalist who roams the less-traveled regions of the globe and writes about them knowledgeably and with sophistication.
		Kaplan is the author, among other books, of "Balkan Ghosts," which achieved a certain notoriety when it was reported to have influenced the American decision not to intervene in the Balkans on the ground that savage ethnic violence there was inevitable and unstoppable.
		He calls "Eastward to Tartary" a sequel to "Balkan Ghosts." Like that book, it is an effort to "anticipate the problems" that loom in an important region of the world, what he calls the Greater Middle East, where he traveled in 1998 and 1999.

		''Eastward to Tartary'' is a more sophisticated work than ''Balkan Ghosts.'' Kaplan has matured as a stylist and as a political analyst, but he can still describe Turkish political parties as ''chieftaincies'' and rhapsodize about the ''pagan mystery'' and ''dusky sensuality'' underlying Eastern Orthodoxy.

		Kaplan's intention is to introduce Tartary (known today as Central Asia) as a place that has more in common with the Western Balkan countries than with the Oriental images conjured up by its exotic name.
		Walking the streets of Baku in Azerbaijan, he sees images of the Romanian capital, Bucharest; both reside in the 100-year-old shadows of a cosmopolitan Ottoman boomtown, and in the more obvious decay and disenchantment that is the legacy of the shorter-lived Soviet empire.
		In "Eastward to Tartary," Robert Kaplan, author of the classic "Balkan Ghosts" and several other excellent books, doesn't sugarcoat things, that's for sure, as he explores the "New Near East" (the corpses of two major empires -- the Ottoman and the Soviet) and writes back to inform us how the rotting is going.

		Eastward to Tartary sees Kaplan revisiting the Balkans -- carefully skirting war-ravaged former Yugoslavia, which is changing too rapidly for chapter-length summary and no longer the terra incognita it was with his previous book.

		He writes beautifully, having a gift for clear prose and a journalist’s eye for exact detail—clothing, smells, tastes, and colors—to make the exotic feel familiar to the reader.
		Notions about the relative rates of political and economic transition in the Balkans and Middle East, the interplay of ethnic and religious hatreds, the merits of secular authoritarianism versus Islamic democracy, energy politics in the Caucasus, and the modern consequences of differing imperial legacies all intertwine into an enjoyable and accessible book.
		For example, Kaplan contrasts the impact of organized crime on the political and economic development of Bulgaria with that on other Soviet-bloc states.

	Swords of Shahrazar review
		"The Treasures of Tartary" finds Kirby O'Donnell, disguised as Ali el Ghazi, sneaking about the forbidden city of Shahrazar in quest of the treasure of Khuwarezm, a fabulous hoard hidden by Muhammad Shah, king of Khuwarezm, when his empire fell to the Mongols.
		Interestingly, although "The Treasures of Tartary" (originally called "Gold from Tartary") forms a complete story, it was followed by a sequel, "Swords of Shahrazar", set in the same forbidden city and directly linked to the first story.
		In fact, the story is very similar to the scene in "The Treasures of Tartary" where Kirby O'Donnell hides in the Shining Palace and spies on a meeting where plans of empire are also being discussed.
