Chapter 10 presents a list of seas. This list partly derives from the mythic geography of the Avesta and partly is based on historical bodies of water, including the Persian Gulf, the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and the Strait of Hormuz or Gulf of Oman.

Bodies Of Water

Completed in 1938, the Trans-Iranian Railway connected Tehran to Iran's two major bodies of water: the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf in the south. Iran's first national railway, it produced and disrupted various kinds of movement—voluntary and forced, intended and unintended, on different scales and in different directions—among Iranian diplomats, tribesmen, migrant laborers, technocrats, railway workers, tourists and pilgrims, as well as European imperial officials alike. Iran in Motion tells the hitherto unexplored stories of these individuals as they experienced new levels of mobility. Drawing on newspapers, industry publications, travelogues, and memoirs, as well as American, British, Danish, and Iranian archival materials, Mikiya Koyagi traces contested imaginations and practices of mobility from the conception of a trans-Iranian railway project during the nineteenth-century global transport revolution to its early years of operation on the eve of Iran's oil nationalization movement in the 1950s. Weaving together various individual experiences, this book considers how the infrastructural megaproject reoriented the flows of people and goods. In so doing, the railway project simultaneously brought the provinces closer to Tehran and pulled them away from it, thereby constantly reshaping local, national, and transnational experiences of space among mobile individuals.

The Persian Gulf

Geographically, Iran is for the most part a plateau at an average altitude of about a thousand metres; the terrain—the near-jungle conditions of the Caspian littoral excepted—is arid semi-desert and the typical landscape one of limestone mountain ranges between which lie flat plains. It is bordered by Iraq, Turkey, the U.S.S.R., the Caspian Sea, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Persian Gulf. Except during spring the vegetation in most areas is sun-shrivelled on the bare treeless earth; after five months of burning heat the winter rainfall washes off the topsoil, and river-beds, dry throughout the summer, overflow with muddy torrents. Although the soil is dry and powdery there are abundant watercourses below the surface and with irrigation the land is very productive. The country has great mineral resources; apart from the oil-fields they are un-exploited due to lack of coal and road and rail communications. The people are mainly feudal villagers or nomadic tribesfolk but Tehran is a modern city of a million population and the provincial capitals are also semi-Westernized.

The Black Sea is one of the most important geostrategic enclaves in the oil and gas connection linking Asia with Europe and Russia. However, the presence of Turkey on the Bosphorus Strait directly affects how the geo-strategic interactions of the region develop. The crisis in Ukraine has spurred Turkish-Russian relations, positioning the country as a key player in the gas transit to Eurasia and projecting the aspirations of the Kremlin, under President Vladimir Putin has sought to regain an influential weight in the region - as shown by the crisis in Georgia or, more recently, Crimea - especially in the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Thus, the following work seeks to put a little light on new relationships and geopolitical aspirations, especially in Russia and Turkey and, likewise, have a direct impact on the European context.

The article is devoted to the principles of functional and spatial organization of energy-efficient housing, architectural, artistic and compositional features of the organization of housing with energy-efficient technologies. The article deals with the issues of architectural planning and spatial modification of residential buildings of medium height depending on the natural and climatic conditions and features of the country's region. Special attention is paid to the regions where there are significant water resources. The Persian Gulf and the Caspian sea region in Iran are the most densely populated and represent areas where all four types of possible types of energy-saving technologies are presented: solar, water, wind energy and energy from the earth's interior.

A New Species

A new species of Athanas is described from the Iranian side of the Strait of Hormuz connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman. Athanas iranicus n. sp. is the only species in the genus characterised by the presence of dense setal brushes on the dorsolateral margin of the carpus and on most of the palm of the major and minor chelipeds; the presence of an additional setal brush on the dactylus of the major cheliped; a frontal margin with an untypically short rostrum and short, triangular extra-corneal teeth; and mostly concealed eyestalks.
