Foudrinier e Thomas Major su disegno dell’Arch. Borra, tutte descritte. "Prima edizione" di questa stupenda opera architettonica (nello stesso anno fu pubblicata a Londra anche in versione francese). L’archeologo irlandese Robert Wood (1717 ca.-1771), compì viaggi ed esplorazioni scientifiche insieme a J. Bouverie, J. Dawkins e all’artista italiano Giovanni Battista Borra, in Grecia e in Asia Minore, specialmente nei luoghi omerici, pubblicando volumi sulle rovine di Palmira (1753), di Baalbek (1757) e studi sul problema omerico in relazione alla topografia della Troade (1769, 1775). Fu sottosegretario di stato dal 1756 al 1763. Wood descrive le rovine di Baalbek, in Libano, come tra le più audaci opere di architettura dell'antichità. Erano ancora in piedi nove colonne del tempio di Giove, ma tre crollarono, probabilmente in occasione del terremoto del 1759. Cfr. The Mark Millard Architectural Collection”,II,93: “The text of "The ruins of Balbec" was written by Wood, with a history of the site, an account of the ‘Journey from Palmira to Balbec’, and an analysis of the inscriptions found.. The volume was, in many ways, even more appreciated than the first (Palmira), and more influential.. Many of the details of the temples at Baalbek were taken up by English architects; the ‘Circular Temple’ was twice imitated, by William Chambers at Kew, in 1761, and Henry Flitcroft, a few years later, at Stourhead”. Cfr. anche Fowler,444 (English ed.) - Berlin Cat,I,1887 / Cicognara,2723 e Brunet,IV,1457: “Ouvrage d’une exécution remarquable” per l’ediz. in francese del 1757. Solo lievi uniformi ingialliture e qualche lieve fiorit. margin., ma complessivam. esemplare ben conservato.

Firenze, 1952, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 75/87 - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In English. 365 p. United Nations peacekeeping operations: Lebanon case. The Israeli invasion in Lebanon in 1978 had serious consequences for peace and security in the Middle East. The Lebanon case in which UN was dragged untimely and unprepared in the direction of American interests in the Middle East in 1978 has been going on for 40 years. Despite all well-intentioned initiatives of the international community, the operation could not achieve the mandated tasks given by the Security Council yet. UNIFIL has been stuck to its area of operation, because the problems between Israel and Lebanon cannot be solved independently from conflicts in the Middle East. The distinctive characteristic of the Lebanon case has been the duration of the operation that spanned the Cold War and post-Cold War periods. Hence, the changes in the security environment, new challenges, and emergence of the second generation of PKOs can be understood more clearly. By having exposed the problems throughout the UNIFIL operation, the book is expected to benefit researchers, scholars, and decision-makers at the UN headquarters in setting up a framework to deal with possible challenges for the future PKOs.
