New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [xii], 398 p. Abdülhamid II and the Muslim world. "Abdulhamid II is no doubt one of the most controversial Ottoman Sultans in history. A massive literature continues to florish about him and his policy of pan-Islamism. Sometimes permeated by biased and subjective approaches, this literature is increasingly deminated by more balanced and objective accounts depicting a more realistic image of the Sultan ed the developments of his reign.The present book represents a fine example of the latter group of studies. It contains a well-documented anlysis of the policies of Abdulhamid II, particularly pan-Islamism, with due regard to the international political environment and the intellectual movements surrounding the idea of Islamic unity and solidarity.".

This is a unique and captivating account of an archaeological journey through the air, undertaken by Crawford, at his own expense, to Egypt, Trans-Jordan, and Iraq. Having secured the cordial interest of the British Air Ministry and of the officers commanding the air forces in those countries, he was able to select from their negatives several thousand important pictures, which he brought home with him, to take part himself in flights over the areas of particular interest, and to leave behind him an awakened interest in the objects for which he had made the journey. A fascinating glimpse into what he was able to collect and to achieve, which has been of immeasurable value from an archaeological point of view, for example by revealing a buried site which previously could have only been revealed by perhaps years of excavation. Photographs include that of a ruined town on the Tigris between Mosul and Baghdad, seventy miles south-west of Mosul in the grassy desert; the Palace situated on the Persian Plateau in Hatra and its courtyard not previously observed; the so-called Median Wall; the Arch of Ctesiphon; as well as Old Basra and Modern Basra.

Undertaken at the behest of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, this expedition's objective was to study the geology of Bakhtiari country, an area believed to possess oil located in south-western Persia, between the Diz or Sehzar River on the north-west and the Karun River on the south-east - home to the semi-nomadic Bakhtiari tribes. Of particular geological interest are Harrison's depictions of the region's narrow valleys or tangs, his discussion of imbrics and tectonics and the expedition's arduous trekking itself: via Zeloi; the whale-backed mountain range, Kuh-i-Pabda; Chulbar on the north-eastern base of Kuh-i-Pabda; the Gapi basin; following a branch of the river Ab-i-Balut; Silili; Baznui; the country around Qal'eh Kuh and Ushtarinan Kuh; Qal'eh Pachah; Niyakan and Kuh-i-Dalan and numerous other locations. Accompanied by interesting photographs of the area's mountains and a large folding map of the territory covered.

Travelling with his medicine boxes and his teams of canoemen around the junction between the Tigris and the Euphrates, Thesiger visited nearly every village in the Central Marshes and came to know intimately the people who inhabit this landscape of islands, lakes and waterways, living with them in their reed houses and sharing their unique way of life. He beautifully evokes the landscape and its teeming wildlife and vividly brings to life the many friends he made among the Marsh Arabs. His extraordinary photographs provide a stunning record of the last remnants of a people and their culture. Pre-dates his book, 'The Marsh Arabs', first published in 1964.

This is a complete issue, containing other accounts as well, seldom found in such good and original condition. A favourable review of Philby's autobiography titled "Arabian Days" which was published earlier in the year and was so immediately popular that it was into a second printing, Cheesman deems the work to be a "fair self-portrait" which provides "a complete knowledge of the man." The summary of Philby's childhood, early civil service, and fortuitous connections, so clearly led him "into the desert" to fulfill his personal, spiritual and professional destinies.

Prince Sixte of Bourbon's knowledgeable analysis of potential trans-Sahara communications and the most feasible route into and across the Sahara: through North Africa - the Sudan route and what the prince describes as the natural basis for conquest of the south; in the west, the Mauretanian route which avails itself of the Saura valley and the old caravan route running along the Hank and, the route he favoured most, that of the Congo - the trans-African option he considered would serve the international interests of central Africa.
