br. Questa curiosa biografia di Einstein, scritta da Ronald W. Clark, ci rivela il lato umano del leggendario e distratto professore che affermava con sicurezza che lo spazio e il tempo non sono come appaiono. Ed ecco che Clark ci mostra il Prometeo della nostra epoca come il ragazzo cresciuto sulle Alpi Svizzere, il giovane intrappolato in un infelice primo matrimonio, l'appassionato pacifista angosciato per aver fornito il fondamento teorico della bomba atomica, fino a raffigurarlo come l'ebreo che rifiutò di guidare lo Stato di Israele. Un ritratto "umano" che ci avvicina non solo alle teorie di Einstein, ma anche all'uomo che è stato.

New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (27 x 20 cm). In English and Turkish. 224 p., ills. How do you suppose the Dardanelles front, one of the most important fronts in Turkish history, echoed in a world without radio, television or internet? The fight did not stay only in the land, sea and air; there were deep battles in the writings of the press and in the drawings and art of print media. This book is the culmination of ten years of work to assemble more than eight hundred of the thousands of cartoons, propaganda posters, illustrations and postcards about the battle of the Dardanelles from the world press describing Turkey. What do you say to examining the battle on the media front between the Allied and Central powers through the lens of the visual riches that were published by the press elements and newspapers of that time period? The weapons of this battle are pens sharper than swords, as well as photographs, cartoons, illustrations, propoganda posters and postcards more effective than the bullets in place of which they are used!
274p. Illustrated. Tall 8vo. Harcover. Very Good+. The first edition of this interesting account of a little known Civil War engagement before Gettysburg. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's Confederate cavalry, was riding north to get around the Union army. It met and attacked a Federal cavalry regiment, driving it through the streets of Hanover. Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth's brigade arrived and counterattacked, routing the Confederate vanguard and nearly capturing Stuart himself. Stuart soon counterattacked. Reinforced by Brig. Gen. George A. Custer's Michigan Brigade, Farnsworth held his ground, and a stalemate ensued. Stuart was forced to continue north and east to get around the Union cavalry, further delaying his attempt to rejoin Robert E. Lee's army, which was then concentrating west of Gettysburg. Most of the text was developed from the history by George R. Prowell. PA 33
