Folio magazine softbound of course stapled 17x11 illustrated wraps sepia cover drawing joins TI tower and Ferry Building images 40p. coated alkaline paperstock throughout with plenty of b&w illustrations and ads. Be warned find minimal Expo material most pix are of old Franciscan churches over boilerplate text. Item is bent along top and bottom margins packing problems for tall vulnerable thingie with crimpings and some creasing there's a half-inch food lump on cover that goes thru to verso a basically as-is good-only copy that would flatten nicely under weight. Pious boosterism; for instance PG&E took out an ad bannered "Electrical Miracles In Store For Exposition Visitors" referring to anticipated gorgeous lighting effects has a so-so b&w illustration linking lit-up nighttime SF to the nearby lit-up island.

New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 229 p., color and b/w ills. The logbook of the Ottoman navy: Ships, legends, sailors.= Osmanli donanmasinin seyir defteri: Gemiler, efsaneler, denizciler. Ottoman Principality was introduced to the dark sea of the Middle Ages early in the 14 th century. The battles with the Venetians and the Genoese, conquests in Rumelia, and the establishment of the first shipyards all occurred during this period. As the conquest of Istanbul marked the end of the period of transition from Principality to Empire, the foundations of a strong navy that would unite the Mediterranean and the Black Sea over a political geography were laid. The power of the corsairs diminished by the end of the Renaissance; Barbaros Hayreddîn Pasha personified the golden age of Ottoman sea power. The discovery of the New World had instigated a revolution in the maritime world. Traditional Venetian galleys gave way to Spanish galleons and manpower was replaced by wind power. The Ottoman navy assumed a pioneering role in the process of modernization that extended from the 18 th to the 20 th century. Naval education in the Western sense, the implementation of new technologies and the organization of a modern fleet were all consequences of this period. Advancing from the galley to the battlecruiser, Ottoman sea power had the final say in the affairs of the Empire. "The Logbook of the Ottoman Navy: Ships, Legends, Sailors" exhibition intertwines three distinct, yet integrated mythologies of the sea. The imprint of the ships in Ottoman seafaring history, the battles they were engaged in and the heroes who became legendary in these battles assume their places on the stage of civilization in all their historic magnitude. At the center of the construct lies the extraordinary adventure of the transition from traditional to modern seafaring methods. The quest for power, the demolished thrones and man's identification of his fate with the sea is perhaps the oldest story behind this adventure. The cornerstones of a long history that extends from the legacy of a 16 th century Ottoman galley to the battlecruiser, Yavuz, is brought to light through the memories of seamen.

Fine Fine English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. In publisher's special box. Folio. (35 x 23 cm). Edition in English. 451, [4] p., color photos. The last caravan on the Silk Road. [BOXED]. The Silk Road has played a tremendously important role in the history of mankind. For centuries it was this road that linked east to west and served to merge the economic, cultural and political traditions among the peoples living along this long route. The Silk Road Project, retracing the ancient Silk Road with a camel caravan, realized by partition of Arif Asçi, Necat Nazaroglu and Murat Özbey lasted a full two years. As you'll read The Last Caravan on the Silk Road, you'll see the close cultural relationships between the nations along this road and recognize the tremendous role the Silk Road played in carrying and disseminating man's cultural inheritance. The photographs by the famous photographer Arif Asçi, published in the book will shed light on our shared cultural inheritance and they will carry our past to all coming generations in the future. Today's deep interest in this ancient road is based on the tremendous role it played in carrying and disseminating man's cultural inheritance. Since the breakdown of the former Soviet Union, interest in the Silk Road has been also renewed and deepened due to the independence gained by the Turkic Republies of Central Asia.
