Very Good Turkish Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 200 p., 9 numerous plans. Pasifik için mücadele. I. ve II. kisim. [= The struggle for the Pasific]. Translated to Turkish by Kur. Yzb. H[amza] Gürgüç. First Turkish Edition. Rare. Not in OCLC. According to the foreword, this translation were made by its French Edition. First Edition in English, 1936. Bienstock was trained as a lawyer. He was a Bolshevik during 1904-07 and then adhered to the Mensheviks, becoming one of the 'liquidators' in that faction. During the First World War, he and other Russian socialists, including his wife Judith Grinfeld and fellow Menshevik David Dallin, worked in the Institute for the Study of the Social Consequences of the War in Copenhagen that was run by Alexander Helfand (Parvus). He returned to Russia in 1917, and worked with the future Bolshevik economist Yuri Larin. He left the Soviet republic in 1918, but returned to live in Odessa in 1921-22, and was then arrested and deported from Soviet territory. He was a contributor to the Mensheviks' paper, the Sotsialistichesky Vestnik under the name G Osipov. Bienstock settled in Germany, and became active in the German Social Democratic Party in Berlin. Somewhat oddly, whilst he stood on the right wing of the Mensheviks, he adhered to the left wing of the SPD, joined the Zukunft grouping, and at one point sought a personal meeting with Trotsky. He also held a keen interest in mysticism and eastern religion, as can be seen in at least one of the six essays reproduced below. Bienstock wrote several books and pamphlets, including Deutschland und die Weltwirtschaft (Dietz, Berlin, 1931), Volk und Sozialdemokratie. Die innen- und aussenpolitischen Erfolge der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands (Dietz, Berlin, 1932), Deutschland und Frankreich. Eine Europäische Auseinandersetzung (Werk und Wirtschaft, Berlin, 1932), Kampf um die Macht. Zur neuen Politik der Sozialdemocratie (Laubsche, Berlin, 1932), Zwischen den Weltkriegen (Zentralstelle fur das Bildungswesen, Prague, 1934, Europa und die Weltpolitik Die Zonen der Kriegsgefahr (Graphia, Karlsbad, 1936), The Struggle For The Pacific (Allen and Unwin, London, 1937 [.]. Turkish translator, Hamza Gürgüç was a Turkish soldier. After graduating from the Military Academy in 1933, he served in different positions with different ranks in the Turkish Armed Forces. He participated in the Dersim Operation in 1937. He was promoted to Brigadier General in 1961 and to Major General in 1965. (Source: Maxists Official Website).

291 pages including index and 11 pages of colour photographic plates. Abundantly illustrated in black and white. In an easy and conversational style describes the origin, physical characteristics, and nature of the forces that act within and upon the eastern Pacific Ocean. Describes the origin, shape, and structure of the ocean floor as well as the development of coastlines and beaches. Carefully explains the complex movements of water masses, first in general terms and then specifically with regard to the various coastal regions of British Columbia. Describes the seasonal variations in salinity and temperature and, in a remarkably lucid manner, the complex interaction of planetary body forces which result in the variability of tides. Many of his own experiences as well as those of his colleagues are used to illustrate some of the more spectacular effects of water mass motions, such as the tidal rips in the northern Strait of Georgia, internal gravity waves in Knight Inlet, and the unique tidal whirlpools in Gilford Passage. These and many other aspects of coastal oceanography are presented in such a way that the excitement of the author for the nature of his work is transferred to the reader.... This book should have wide appeal. Not only is it suitable for scientists and their students, but should become a standard reference to be found in the libraries of commercial vessels as well as in the collections of yachtsmen. Although the author has no pretensions as to its evangelical significance, he has, with this book, made an outstanding contribution to the enjoyment of the coastal waters of British Columbia." - from Foreward by C.J. Yorath, Geological Survey of Canada.
