Once again, Kazakhstan has been shocked by an airplane crash. 5 crew members and 16 passengers died,
when a Chаllenger-200 of SCAT airlines, making a Kokshetau-Almaty City flight, crashed near Almaty City on January 29, 2013 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21243203). The country’s officials have offered usual condolences to relatives of the victims, but no national

Asia”. Moreover, major Kazakh rivers, like Irtysh, Ili and Ural, have their headwaters abroad. Unfavorable geographical …
London 2012 Olympic Games have been a noteworthy display of not only athletic prowess, but also strange
political overtones. For example, despite of hefty salaries and access to the ocean of information in the Internet, manufacturers of sports apparel made a mistake, writing Kzakhstan
instead of Kazakhstan. The Kazakh flag itself was insultingly distorted in one of the London’s locations. Instead of
the sun in the center of the flag, they left it void with the circular hole. Britons have been …

This magnificent contribution to political science requires critical review, because its wide scope of problems raised and the global distribution of The Clash of
Civilizations by Samuel P. Huntington makes the book a powerful piece of ideology. Its every paragraph could influence the way of thinking around the world. Therefore, one should pay closer
attention to mistakes, which the author, willingly or unwillingly, made in the edition, published by The Free Press in 2002.
