New Persian Original bdg. HC. Folio. (34 x 24 cm). In Persian with abstracts in English. 392 p., color and b/w ills. Tehran became a major city of Iran after 1554 A.D. during the Safavid period when Shah Tahmasb I, son of Shah Ismail, ordered the implementation of two large-scale public works. The first project was the construction of ramparts and moats surrounding the entire city, which defined the city's perimeters and increased its defense. The rampart consisted of 114 towers, representing the 114 chapters within the Holy Quran and enclosed an area of 4.35 km2. The second project was the establishment of the bazaar, the heart of the industrial and commercial activities of the city, surrounded by numerous holy shrines. However, it was 240 years later in the Spring of 1796 A.D. that Tehran became the national capital of Iran, during Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar's reign. 2016 A.D. actually marks the 220th year since Tehran became the political centre of Iran. The first known map of Tehran (page 18), a Russian spy map, dates back to 1826 A.D. The next Russian map of Tehran (page 24) from 1852 A.D. was translated into Persian and presented as a gift to Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (page 29). After the establishment of the military polytechnic school in 1851 A.D. and the arrival of Europe an military instructors, the importance of accurate topographical maps was recognized by the nation's leaders. The Austrian artillery trainer for cannons, August Karl Krziz, coordinated in 1858 A.D. the preparation of the maps of Tehran (page 39) and its surrounding area (page 35). This was the beginning of scientific cartography in Iran. By 1863 A.D., maps of Tehran Province for the purpose of tax collection (page 58) were being produced by engineer Abdul Rasool Khan. Tehran dramatically expanded after a huge flood in 1867 A.D. destroyed a large portion of the Safavid period ramparts and moats, after which Alexander Bohler, a French military instructor, designed a new and enlarged rampart and moat enclosure. Within four years between 1867 A.D. and 1871 A.D., Tehran grew from 4 .35 km2 to 19.75 km2 with these new constructions. By 1891 A.D., a highly detailed and technical map of Tehran (page 64) had been produced by Abdul Ghafar Najmolmoq. During the reigning years of Mozafar al-Din Shah, Mohammad Ali Shah, and Ahmad Shah, maps for Tehran postal services (page 126) and Tehran provincial delineation (page 127) were produced. During these years, the Russian, British and French prepared several geopolitical maps of the region including Tehran. For example, the map on page 323 reproduces a map prepared in 1892 A.D. by the British Survey of India at the scale of 1:506,880. In 1914 A.D., German publisher Wagner & Debes prepared a touristic map of Tehran (page 134). In 1922 A.D. the Ministry of Culture's Investigation Section prepared a map of schools in Tehran (page 138). During the Pahlavi I period (1925~1941 A.D.), modernization of Tehran became a national priority. By 1930 A.D. a map for street enlargement in Tehran (page 158) had been published. In 1932 A.D., the demolition of the Naser al-Din Shah Qajar period ramparts began simultaneous to further expansion of urbanized Tehran. The 1936 A.D. military map of Tehran (page 169) is testimony to the changes in the urban morphology of this period. The creation of a dedicated military cartographic service in 1935 A.D. marked an important milestone in the history of cartography in Iran. The 1937 A.D. urban development plan of Tehran (page 170) clearly shows the new streets, squares and urban development envisioned. The first known aerial photograph of Tehran dating from 1940 A.D. (page 177) displays the realization of this urban development plan. After the invasions by the Russians, British and Americans in 1941 A.D., cartographic activities in Iran suddenly increased. Sergeant Mohammad Reza Ghaffari privately published maps of Tehran [.] The above mentioned maps are a few representative samples of the over 270 maps

315 pages including footnotes and index. "This explosive book lays bare the personalities and institutional relations behind the headlines. It goes beyond the recent events to discern the roots of contemporary U.S. covert activity within the past two decades. Delves into the details of CIA and extra-CIA operations, including drug-trafficking, gun-running, government-toppling, and assassination." - from back cover.

ACTABOOK UEM 2008 408 PP. RIGA DI LETTURA AL DORSO, PER IL RESTO OTTIME, ECCELLENTISSIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI Il volume ripercorre, attraverso saggi, testimonianze, relazioni e una ricca documentazione fotografica, le venticinque edizioni della Scuola per Librai, promossa da Messaggerie Italiane, Messaggerie libri, ALI - Associazione Librai Italiani, AIE - Associazione Italiana Editori, e in collaborazione con la Fondazione Giorgio Cini. Primo esempio in Italia, secondo in Europa, dopo Francoforte, la Scuola per Librai Umberto e Elisabetta Mauri nasce nel 1983 per volontà di Luciano Mauri in memoria del padre Umberto, a lungo presidente dell'ALI, e della figlia Elisabetta, prematuramente scomparsa. L'intento è quello di ridefinire la figura professionale del libraio, adeguandola ai nuovi ritmi della produzione del libro, formandola su strumenti di analisi e metodi innovativi e aggiornandola sulle esperienze professionali. Dal 1984 la Scuola organizza corsi intensivi di perfezionamento a Venezia, nella prestigiosa sede della Fondazione Cini, e corsi monografici di approfondimento a Milano. Tutti, dagli autori agli editori e soprattutto i librai, dicono la loro sui libri, imparano e insegnano. La Scuola, oltre ad aver formato nuove generazioni di librai appassionati e competenti, è diventata nel tempo un laboratorio di sperimentazione e discussione che si estende a tutti gli aspetti che coinvolgono l'attività della libreria-impresa fondata su una proposta di servizio competitivo. Diceva infatti Umberto Saba che una buona libreria «è una caverna con un genio dentro». Testi di: Ottiero Ottieri, Luciano Mauri, Tonino Bozzi, Umberto Eco, Fabio Mauri, Pierre Berès, Herbert R.

LONGANESI 1970 465 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: SEGNI DEL TEMPO, UN PICCOLISSIMO STRAPPO AL FONDO DELLA SOVRACCOPERTA, VOLUME MAI SFOGLIATO. Questa non è soltanto la biografia di un uomo: è anche la storia di un paese. Wladyslaw Gomulka è un paradosso. È allo stesso tempo un innegabile, fervido patriota polacco, e un comunista, in un paese dove il comunismo viene dettato dalla Russia, nemica tradizionale della Polonia. Nel '56 si adoperò per ottenere una certa indipendenza dall'URSS, attirando su di sé non solo le simpatie dei connazionali, ma anche quelle di tutto il mondo. Eppure, nel '68, si preparò a mandare truppe polacche in Cecoslovacchia perché dessero man forte ai carri armati sovietici. Che cosa si cela dietro queste posizioni inconciliabili sotto tutti i punti di vista: politico, diplomatico e umano? Basterebbe la risposta che Bethell offre a questa domanda (forse la prima completa sino a oggi) per indurre il lettore aggiornato a sfogliare avidamente il volume. Bethell, tuttavia, ci rivela fatti di altrettanta importanza, accaduti durante gli ultimi quarant'anni della turbolenta storia della Polonia; ricerca le tracce della carriera di Gomulka nel periodo confuso tra il 20 e il 30, dopo la proclamazione dell'in- dipendenza polacca e la formazione del primo partito comunista in quel paese; ricorda inoltre l'invasione nazista che provocò il secondo conflitto mondiale e l'ascesa di Gomulka nel movimento di resistenza; si sofferma sullo stalinismo, sulle luminose promesse del "56 e sulle oscure delusioni del suo regime dopo quella data. Nicholas Bethell è un esperto della storia polacca e russa, educato al Penbroke College. Oltre a esse redattore del Times Literary Supplement, è traduttore dal russo di Solženicyn e dal polacco di Slawomir Mrozek. Ed ecco alcuni giudizi sul suo Gomulka: «Il pri mo libro che spieghi al lettore occidentale le contraddizioni della vita di Gomulkae la sua politica» (Financial Times). «Lord Bethell ha scritto un libro avvincente che ha fa di Gomulka un punto di partenza anziché di arrivo» (Tribune). «Una lucida narrazione degli eventi drammatici, a volte eroici e sinistri, che hanno accompagnato Gomulka fin dalla gioventù» (The Tablet).
