Arturo Perez-Reverte
The Painter of Battles

2008 y.
Publisher: Random House
Description: Andres Faulques, a world-renowned war photographer, has retired to a life of solitude on the Spanish coast. On the walls of a tower overlooking the sea, he spends his days painting a huge mural that pays homage to history`s classic works of war art. One night, an unexpected visitor arrives at Faulques` door and challenges the painter to remember him. As Faulques struggles to recall the face, the man explains that he was the subject of an iconic photo taken by Faulques in a war zone years ago. `And why have you come looking for me?` asks Faulques. The stranger answers, `Because I`m going to kill you.` So begins a tense exchange in which Faulques recalls a time when he crossed continents to capture conflicts on film. Yet as the dialogue between Faulques and his unwelcome visitor unwinds, the stakes grow even higher. What they are grappling with becomes not just Faulques` fate but the very nature of human love and cruelty itself. [detailed...]

Amos Nadan
The Palestinian Peasant Economy under the Mandate: A Story of Colonial Bungling (Harvard Middle Eastern Monographs)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Challenging the claim that Palestine`s peasant economy progressed during the 1920s and 1930s, Amos Nadan skillfully integrates a wide variety of sources to demonstrate that the period was actually one of deterioration on both the macro (per capita) and micro levels. The economy would have most likely continued its downward spiral during the 1940s had it not been for the temporary prosperity that resulted from World War II. Nadan argues that this deterioration continued despite the British authorities` channeling of funds from the Jewish sector and the wealthier Arab sectors into projects for the Arab rural economy. The British were hoping that Palestine`s peasants would not rebel if their economic conditions improved. These programs were, on the whole, defective because the British chose programs based on an assumption that the peasants were too ignorant to manage their farms wisely, instead of working with the peasants and their own institutions.

The Palgrave Atlas of Byzantine History

Description: This historical atlas charts key aspects of the political, social and economic history of the Byzantine Empire, the dominant Mediterranean power in the fifth and sixth centuries. Surrounded by foes who posed a constant threat to its very existence, it survived because of its administration, army and the strength of its culture, of which Orthodox Christianity was a key element. This medieval empire bridged the Christian and Islamic worlds from the late Roman period through the late Middle Ages, but by the time of its demise at the hands of the Ottomans in 1453 the Byzantine empire was a shadow of its former self, restricted essentially to the city of Constantinople, modern Istanbul.

The Pallikari of Nesmine Rifat

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFor his celebrated poetry collection Saracen Island, David Solway took on the voice of a Greek poet named Andreas Karavis. So artful were these poems that many readers believed they were authentic translations from Greek by Karavis. The Pallikari of Nesmine Rifat continues Solway?s inspired poetic ruse. In this new book of ostensible translations, he adopts the persona of Karavis?s spurned lover, Turkish Cypriot poet Nes-mine Rifat. Lushly sexual and sparkling with wit and intel-ligence, these extraordinary poems take the form of a series of undelivered letters, penned in the wake of Karavis?s desertion and eventual marriage to Anna Zoumi. With great subtlety and sensitivity, Solway portrays a powerful woman and gifted poet undergoing a violent emotional journey ? from anger and disdain to melancholy and undying passion. [detailed...]

The Pan Am Building and the Shattering of the Modernist Dream

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Pan Am Building and the reaction to it signaled the end of an era. Begun when the modernist aesthetic and the architectural star system ruled architectural theory and practice, the completed building became a symbol of modernism`s fall from grace. In The Pan Am Building and the Shattering of the Modernist Dream , Meredith Clausen tells the story as both history and cautionary tale -- a case study of how not to plan and execute a large-scale urban project that seems especially relevant in light of the World Trade Center and the ongoing discussions over what should be built in its place. The Pan Am Building was despised by many as soon as the plans were announced in 1958. The star power of the celebrity architects -- those deans of modernism, Walter Gropius and Pietro Belluschi -- overrode critics` objections. When construction was completed in 1963, it became more than an architectural question, this `mute, massive, overscaled octagonal slab,` as… [detailed...]
