He was the son of the Rev. Alexander Chirol and Harriet Chirol (née Ashburnham). His education was mostly in France and Germany. Growing up in France with his parents, Chirol lived in Versailles where he also graduated high school.
In 1869, the young Chirol, already bilingual, moved to Germany, residing in a small town near Frankfurt am Main. By 1870, the Franco-Prussian war had broken out which Chirol experienced from both sides. He returned to Paris in 1871 just in time to see the Germans enter Paris. Thanks to his good French and German, he was able to come and go easily passing for a citizen of either side and it was here that he began to acquire his taste for adventure and politics.
Given the chaos in France, the Chirols returned to their family home in Hove. In April 1872, Chirol joined the Foreign Office where he worked for until spring 1876. Unsatisfied with the slow pace of life in the Foreign Office, Chirol returned to travelling where things moved much quicker.
Having begun to learn Arabic before leaving England, he set off to Egypt arriving in Cairo where he took up residence. In 1879, he set off for Beirut not long after the British had taken control of Cyprus. From there, the travelled inland through Syria with Laurence Oliphant and from whom he'd later learn to draw. But it was here in the Middle East where he took up journalism for the first time writing for the Levant Herald, then the leading newspaper in the Near East.
From there, Chirol moved on travelling to Istanbul and later throughout the Balkans. From these travels came his first book, Twixt Greek and Turk. [mehr]

his book is the first of a series of essays inspired by the poems of the Tang Poet Li Shangyin (813-858 AD), and includes many insghtful observations on the author's personal multicultural journey through America, Asia and Africa. The bilingual book also includes the author's beautiful Chinese calligraphy and a groundbreaking analysis on the relevance of poetry to the existential dislocations of our modern era. it is an excellent resource for students of English and Chinese, as well as those interested in exploring other cultures.
Li Shangyin is one of the most fascinating of poets and this book includes historical background on the poet as well as introductory and explanatory notes by the translator. For over 1200 years, scholars have attempted to understand, let alone translate, Li Shangyin’s poems. At least four different schools of thought have developed. Firstly, his poems are reflections on political patrons and a failed career. Secondly, they are thinly veiled political satires of the Court and political factions. Thirdly, they are stories of actual affairs with Court ladies and Taoist priestesses. Finally, they are admirable vehicles of mystery and beauty. My interpretations include elements of all the above, but are also a synthesis of sentiments - the poet’s (as Mark sees him) and his own, of which music is a core part. This is particularly appropriate with Li Shangyin. His poetry is a labyrinth of passionate images, almost musical in sound and sequencing. They are at once ebullient, sad, loving, hateful, spiteful, sneering, and religious - a cornucopia of musical words that sing across the ages. [mehr]

Tanaman Pepohonan Untuk Menjernihkan & Menetralisir Air Limbah Beracun Berbahaya Dari Kawasan Perairan Laut Sungai Danau Versi Bilingual Dalam Bahasa Indonesia Serta Bahasa Melayu.Alam Lingkungan telah menyiapkan jenis tanaman yang dapat mendegradasi dan mengakumulasi logam berat (hiperaccumulator) secara alami natural. Tidak saja sebagai menyerap karbon dioksida jenis tanaman air ini terbukti sangat efektif membantu menetralisir logam berat beracun berbahaya akibat pencemaran di kawasan perairan. Tumbuhan hiperakumulator adalah tumbuhan yang mempunyai kemampuan untuk menyerap logam berat di dalam biomassanya dalam kadar yang luar biasa tinggi. Kemampuan mengakumulasi logam, misalnya nikel sebesar 10 mg/kg berat kering (setara dengan 0,001 %), tetapi tumbuhan hiperakumulator logam mampu mengakumulasi hingga 11 % berat kering.Logam berat yang mencemari lingkungan, baik dalam udara, air, dan tanah berasal dari proses alami dan kegiatan industri. Proses alami dapat berasal dari bebatuan gunung berapi yang terlepas, memberikan kontribusi ke lingkungan baik udara, air, dan tanah. Kegiatan manusia (antrhopogenic) seperti kegiatan industri, pertambangan, pembakaran bahan bakar, serta kegiatan domestik lain yang mampu meningkatkan kandungan logam di lingkungan udara, air, dan tanah.Logam berat dapat menjadi racun bagi manusia apabila dikonsumsi dalam jumlah yang berlebih. Meskipun semua logam berat dapat mengakibatkan keracunan pada makhluk hidup, sebagian dari logam-logam tersebut tetap dibutuhkan oleh makhluk hidup. Kebutuhan tersebut berada dalam jumlah yang sangat sedikit. Karena logam-logam tersebut ada yang dibutuhkan tubuh, maka logam-logam tersebut juga dinamakan sebagai logam-logam atau mineral-mineral esensial tubuh.Logam berat yang ada di lingkungan perairan menjadi persoalan karena terakumulasinya sampai pada rantai makanan, dan mencemari lingkungan. Makhluk hidup dan organisme mengalami keracunan kronis apabila produk yang dikonsumsinya mengandung logam berat. [mehr]
