1957186938Japan: Koide Nobuhirosha c.1957. A charming set of playing cards based on the film Nankyoku Tairiku "The South Pole" recounting the story of the 1956-57 Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. The cards show scenes of penguins the research ship Soya and the expedition members. In 1955 the Japanese government announced plans to send a research group to Antarctica in the following year. A team of 53 scientists led by Professor Nagata Takeshi set off on 8 November 1956 the first time Japan had explored the south pole since the early 1900s. They set up the Syowa Station on East Ongul Island before being emergency airlifted out of a storm. A documentary film focusing on the expedition was released in June 1957 directed by Hayashida Shigeo and titled Nihon nankyoku chiiki kansokutai no kiroku: Nankyoku Tairiku. This game was released to complement the film. Karuta is a traditional Japanese matching game where each pictorial card is assigned a letter of the Japanese alphabet and must be paired with an associated poem sentence or proverb. The player who can make the most matches wins. 90 playing cards 61 x 81 mm landscape or portrait 45 with colour photographic illustrations on one side 45 lettered in black on one side. Housed in original pictorial box 170 x 132 x 35 mm lettered in red and black. Lacking instructional booklet. Cards a little toned and bowed; box scuffed with minor loss in places bottom with some damp-staining remains of plastic wrap on lid verso old repairs in places: a very good example.

1899155664Dehra Dún India & Berlin: Photozincographed at the Office of the Trigonometrical Branch Survey of India & Dietrich Reimer 1899-1904. Remarkable assemblage of three important and superbly detailed maps A rare opportunity to acquire three exceptionally impressive and uncommon maps together forming the finest contemporary cartographic overview of the Great Game's central theatre. Spanning from the Mediterranean to Afghanistan and from the Caspian to Sir Baniyas Island they present a striking synoptic view of the region at a moment of intense strategic interest. All three share the same provenance each bearing the distinguished bookplate of the officers' mess library of the 85th Foot later part of The King's Light Infantry. Likely acquired as a group by an officer attuned to imperial affairs in the run-up to or immediate aftermath of the 1907 Anglo-Russian Convention they reflect the period's effort as Hopkirk notes to resolve regional rivalries and curb Germany's eastward ambitions. The Persia map is a landmark Survey of India production and the most comprehensive rendering of the region then available incorporating the latest British and Russian surveys and reconnoitres. Only 300 copies of this August 1904 issue were printed and institutional locations are limited to the British Library Deutsche Nationalbibliothek and Sächsische Landesbibliothek. The impressive wall map of Afghanistan June 1901 produced under Strahan and Gore and executed at the Frontier Drawing Office under Colonel R. A. Wahab is equally rare with copies recorded only at the British Library Wisconsin and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. Its authority rests on extensive British and Russian sources including work by Robertson Trotter Sykes Ney Elias and the Afghan Boundary Commission. These maps exemplify the Survey of India's exacting standards during the era of photozincographic production when officers were required to vet every detail under magnification. Kiepert's map of the Ottoman Empire complements the two Survey of India sheets representing the best contemporary mapping of a region Britain could not itself survey. Kiepert one of the foremost scholarly cartographers of the 19th century travelled widely in Ottoman territories producing clear and remarkably accurate maps that remain valuable records of the period. This map is comparatively well represented institutionally with around 17 holdings recorded in Europe the US and the UK.

2023B2308262Aktif Yayinevi 2023. New. n/a n/a Türkiye has a long history of combatting terrorism. Through these terrorist acts Türkiye has gone through a lot of tragedy. Moreover all of these attacks were committed by a transnational network; thus making Türkiyes counter-terrorism experience unique. Despite this experience's scope and uniqueness Türkiyes counter-terrorism efforts are under-researched. Due to Turkish efforts against PKK terrorism in the last four decades counter-terrorism has become a specific area for securocrats. This situation has driven away scholarly interest in the topic. Another reason was the tactic adopted by PKK militants which focused on exploiting freedom of speech in academia by using it for mere propaganda. Eventually Turkish counter-terrorism stayed as an under-researched area. This book is focusing on to say something on the issue in a scholarly fashion to advance the discussion on the topic. As it is explained; works on the topic are limited in Turkish academia; thus by publishing this study it is expected to initiate a scholarly debate. Aktif Yayinevi unknown
