New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [xxxix], [1], 884 p., ills. War & nationalism: The Balkan Wars, 1912-1913, and their sociopolitical implications. War and Nationalism presents thorough up-to-date scholarship on the often misunderstood and neglected Balkan Wars of 1912 to 1913, which contributed to the outbreak of World War I. The essays contain critical inquiries into the diverse and interconnected processes of social, economic, and political exchange that escalated into conflict. The wars represented a pivotal moment that had a long-lasting impact on the regional state system and fundamentally transformed the beleaguered Ottoman Empire in the process. This interdisciplinary volume stands as a critique of the standard discourse regarding the Balkan Wars and effectively questions many of the assumptions of prevailing modern nation-state histories, which have long privileged the ethno-religious dimensions present in the Balkans. The authors go to great lengths in demonstrating the fluidity of social, geographical, and cultural boundaries before 1912 and call into question the "nationalist watershed" notion that was artificially imposed by manipulative historiography and political machinations following the end of fighting in 1913. War and Nationalism will be of interest to scholars looking to enrich their own understanding of an overshadowed historical event and will serve as a valuable contribution to courses on Ottoman and European history.

191251631Rawlins Wyoming: Privately printed by Felix Alston Warden Wyoming State Penitentiary October 12 1912. 1912. WYOMING OUTLAWS. First edition. An unusual 8 1/2" x 6" four-page escape bulletin that provides detailed physical description a photograph and exact reward amount for each of the five escapees. Rare 4-page WANTED! circular issued by Wyoming State Penitentiary in Rawlins dated October 12 1912 offering $300 in reward money for the capture and detention of five escaped convicts at least one of whom was an associate of the infamous Whitney Gang with price breakdowns provided for each convict if captured separately. Wyoming WANTED! circulars are uncommon at this date. The five wanted escapees Bert Dalton Joe Turner Roy Smith George Wilson and Lawrence Williams were part of a group of twenty convicts who escaped from the Wyoming State Penitentiary’s stockade on October 12 1912. The escapees terrorized the townspeople of Rawlins as they fled to the hills. Several citizens were injured; one was killed. Wyoming Governor Cory sent state militia in to assist local armed posse in the manhunt. Within days nine of the nineteen escapees were caught but Bert Dalton was not. Dalton was a drifter sheepherder bank robber and convicted murderer associated with the Whitney brothers. It was Dalton who had engineered the spectacular Rawlins prison break and had assumed the leadership of the convicts who were still hiding out in the hills around Rawlins. He remained on the loose for two and one-half months and was finally captured at Big Piney Wyoming clad only in his under-clothes after being pursued through deep snow all night. Felix Alston the warden of the Rawlins Penitentiary at the time was well known for his passion for baseball and forcing prisoners who were good ballplayers to play promising them special treatment as long as the prison team kept winning.

There is some very beginning bumping to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. "There are three bands of Bay Miwok Native Americans associated with the area of Walnut Creek the stream for which the city is named the Saclan whose territory extended through the hills east of present-day cities of Oakland Rossmoor Lafayette Moraga and Walnut Creek; the Volvon also spelled Bolbon Wolwon or Zuicun who were near Mt. Diablo; and the Tactan located on the San Ramon Creek in present-day Danville and Walnut Creek. The city of Walnut Creek has developed within the earlier area of four extensive Mexican land grants. One of these land grants measuring 18000 acres 73 km2 belonged to Juana Sanchez de Pacheco. The grant was called Rancho Arroyo de Las Nueces y Bolbones named after the principal waterway Arroyo de las Nueces Walnut Creek in English and for the local group of Volvon indigenous Americans also known as Bolbones in Spanish. The Arroyo de las Nueces was named for the local species of walnut tree the California Walnut. The two grandsons of Sanchez de Pacheco inherited the thousands of acres of land. One Ygnacio Sibrian built the first roofed home in the valley in about 1850." from Wikipedia . Diablo Books hardcover
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 172 p., color and b/w ills. Wall, arch, dome: Byzantine Istanbul in the eyes of Ottoman photographers.= Sur, kemer, kubbe: Osmanli fotografçilarinin gözüyle Bizans Istanbulu. [Exhibition catalogue]. Text: Samih Rifat. One of the most outstanding characteristics of Istanbul's Byzan-tine monuments, as captured by Ottoman photographers, is their role as priceless documents in the city's history. The period between the second half of the 19th century and the turn of the 20th century is marked by profound changes in Istanbul with respect to urban structure, historical texture and monuments. A careful eye readily notices the considerable transformations spread over a hundred, hundred and fifty years in Istanbul city walls, Galata Tower, Hagia Sophia and the Hippodrome area. These photographs are replete with valuable clues for today's researchers, restorers, architectures and urban planners. Nonetheless, there is something beyond the obvious in these images: Istanbul's remaining city walls, arches, and domes of a far away past continue to survive in another form of existence in these old photographs, which reflect an age closer to us in time, yet just as rapidly vanished. The discolored surfaces permeating an indescribable sense of the old add another layer, another epoch to the historical richness of the city. Comprised of a selection from the Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Old Istanbul Photographs Collection, Wall Arch Dome ventures us into a journey in the same milieu and in a different time dimension. Yet, on this occasion, we find ourselves in an Istanbul more ancient, more distant than the Republican or Ottoman days; it is a Byzantine Istanbul of monuments, ruins and almost imperceptible traces from thousands of years past.
