8vo., First Edition thus, with 49 plates on 16, several maps and charts in the text and endpaper maps; handsomely bound in full dark green crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, an elegant copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. The standard account from the Japanese perspective and a classic of WWII. One of the foremost figures in the IJNAF, Mitsuo Fuchida was strike force commander at Pearl Harbor. Unable to take part in operations at Midway due to a recent appendix operation he watched the action from the deck of the flagship, taking notes as events unfolded. Subsequently, he was one of the few Japanese naval officers permitted to study the reports of the battle and is therefore uniquely qualified to deliver this account. For the first US edition (published for USNI) the Japanese original was translated into English by Commander Chihaya and edited by Kawakami and Pineau; their text is repeated here. Importantly, the Japanese photographs (although of poorer quality) are retained, and supplemented by a small number of well-chosen USN pictures. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.

A PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR TO ANTHONY PAVIA WITH THE FORMER'S SIGNED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. With the publisher's separately printed slip giving the context of the work, and the original bilingual price slip. The publisher's note makes it clear that this work, although the first to appear in print, was conceived as the third volume of a projected three-volume series 'Survey on the Japanese Naval Vessels 1925-1947'. It seems unlikely, however, that any further volumes were published and that this volume therefore stands alone; CERTAINLY IT CONSTITUTES THE FINEST PUBLISHED COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF ITS TYPE. Constructor Lieutenant-Commander Shizuo Fukui (1913-1993), Imperial Japanese Navy, was one of the world's foremost experts on ship design and naval construction. He was the author of some fourteen books and numerous magazine articles, which form collectively the definitive photographic record of the IJN. His wartime appointments ranged from the HQ of the Combined Fleet to the Navy Technical Institute; he ended his service career as Chief Officer and Director of Naval Construction at one of the major naval shipyards. After the war he devoted himself to historical research and made a lifelong contribution to the preservation of the records of ships of the Imperial Navy. His private library eventually contained over 20,000 photos, most of them unique, of which the great majority remains unpublished. Anthony Pavia was the owner of an archive of related photographs which it is believed found a home in the UK after Pavia's death. We are indebted to Mr. Robin Bursell for the information on Anthony Pavia. SIGNED COPIES OF ANY WORK BY FUKUI ARE RARE.

455 pages. Bibliography. "For 44 years Morant crisscrossed the country on passenger trains, enroute to and from assignments to all the subsidiaries of Canadian Pacific. He chronicled the times, writing for the company magazine as well as photographing developments on the railway. These photos are the subject of this book... Here then is a book of photographs of the Canadian Pacific Railway over the years, from 1929 to 1981, the span of Morant's career as a photographer... Our hope is that it will be the finest book ever produced on the CPR." - from dust jacket. Wonderful photography in colour and black and white throughout, plus supporting text. Front hinge taped.

brossura Il tema di "Asia-Pacifico: regione emergente. Luoghi, Culture, Relazioni" sottolinea la crescente importanza acquisita dalla regione cosiddetta "Asia-Pacifico" negli equilibri demografici, economici, politici e socioculturali del nostro pianeta nel terzo Millennio. Le potenzialità di quest'area geografica e il suo nuovo ruolo di perno degli equilibri globali hanno spinto i numerosi autori di diverse discipline a interrogarsi e a discutere intorno a questo argomento. I temi approntati nel volume sono molteplici e spaziano dalle principali caratteristiche geopolitiche dell'Asia-Pacifico alla storia regionale; dal ruolo dell'Asia-Pacifico nel passato, nel presente e nel futuro, dall'analisi dei principali attori interni alla regione (Cina, Australia, Corea del Nord ecc.) alle più rilevanti tendenze politiche, economiche, sociali o culturali presenti nell'Asia-Pacifico. Questi temi, cruciali per gli attuali e i prossimi equilibri mondiali sono declinati anche in chiave didattica, attraverso l'apporto di docenti ed esperti operatori nel campo della scuola italiana.
