This introduction to the archaeology of Asia focuses on case studies from the region’s last 10,000 years of history. Comprising fifteen chapters written by some of the world’s foremost Asia archaeologists, the book sheds light on many of the most compelling aspects of Asian archaeology, from the earliest plant and animal domestication to the emergence of states and empires from Pakistan to North China. In particular, the contributors explore issues of cross-cultural significance, such as migration, ethnicity, urbanism, and technology, challenging readers to think beyond national and regional boundaries. In doing so, they draw on original research data and synthesize work previously unavailable to western readers.

The volume as a whole offers new insights into the archaeology of Asia and encourages western scholars to pay more attention to the continent in their studies of human origins, evolution, and history.

Christopher Hilton - Hitler's Grands Prix in Engla nd, Donington 1937 and 1938 (1999).jpg

Two sports events - the 1937 and 1938 British Grand Prix at Donington, have been recreated for the first time, in this book that captures the drama as Europe prepared for war. The races were a chilling preview of Germany's chilling technical dominance. English amateur drivers, in tiny cars were completely overwhelmed by the might of the Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union tealms. Packed with race details and historic photographs this book is also a social history.

Historia21 - Terry Harrison - Paleontology and Geology of Laetoli, ...Geochronology, Paleoecology and Paleoenvironment 2011.jpg

This volume 1 and its companion volume 2 present the results of new investigations into the geology, paleontology and paleoecology of the early hominin site of Laetoli in northern Tanzania. The site is one of the most important paleontological and paleoanthropological sites in Africa, worldrenowned for the discovery of fossils of the early hominin Australopithecus afarensis, as well as remarkable trails of its footprints. The first volume provides new evidence on the geology, geochronology, ecology, ecomorphology and taphonomy of the site. The second volume describes newly discovered fossil hominins from Laetoli, belonging to Australopithecus afarensis and Paranthropus aethiopicus, and presents detailed information on the systematics and paleobiology of the diverse associated fauna. Together, these contributions provide one of the most comprehensive accounts of a fossil hominin site, and they offer important new insights into the early stages of human evolution and its context.

Historia21 - Terry D. Hooker, Chuck A. Norman, Colonel Albert Marq...s Society Booklet No 1 - The Pacific War 1879-84 1993.jpg

The War of the Pacific (Spanish: Guerra del Pacífico) was a military conflict that took place in western South America from 1879 through 1884 in which the forces of Chile fought against a defensive alliance of Bolivia and Peru. Also known as the "Saltpeter War", the war arose from disputes over the control of territory that contained substantial mineral-rich deposits. The exact start of the war is a matter of dispute among historians, with some attributing the Bolivian presidential decree of Hilarión Daza as a declaration of war, and others attributing Chile as the first nation to officially declare war and invade foreign territory. Originally, the conflict was a dispute between Chile and Bolivia over a 10 cents tax on the Antofagasta Nitrate & Railway Company, but the controversy over ownership of the Atacama region of Bolivia and Chile was one that preceded and laid foundations to the historical bad relations between both countries.

Eric Williams - Capitalism and Slavery (1994).jpg

Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide.
Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.

Iqtidar Alam Khan - Historical Dictionary of Medie val India (2008).jpg

"The medieval period of Indian history is difficult to clearly define. It can be considered a long transition from ancient to precolonial times. Its end is marked by Vasco da Gama's voyage round the Cape of Good Hope in 1498 and the establishment of the Mughal empire (1526). The renewed Islamic advance into north India, from roughly 1000 A.D. onward, leading to the rise of the Delhi Sultanate (1206), is the beginning of the medieval period in political and cultural terms." "For the purpose of the Historical Dictionary of Medieval India, the period from 1000 AD to 1526 AD is considered India's medieval times. The turbulent history of this period is told through the book's chronology, introductory essay, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on key people, historical geography, the arts, institutions, events, and other important terms."

Robert G. Morkot - Historical Dictionary of Ancien t Egyptian Warfare (2003).jpg

The Historical Dictionary of Ancient Egyptian Warfare is aimed primarily at students and the interested reader. It presumes no detailed knowledge of ancient Egypt. The arrangement of the book as a dictionary means that it can be used on its own as a research tool, or in conjunction with other works, such as histories, or translations of Egyptian texts. The user can find concise definitions and descriptions, and brief accounts of military actions. Through the cross-referencing of each entry, and in conjunction with the bibliography, the user can pursue the wider issues and find more detailed studies.

About the Author
Robert George Morkot is currently a Lecturer at the University of Exeter (School of Education and Lifelong Learning), United Kingdom. He is an Ancient Historian specializing in north-eastern Africa from Libya to Sudan, with particular interest in the external relations of Egypt, the later phases of ancient Egyptian history, and in the European study of Ancient Egypt.

Anna Whitelock - Mary Tudor, Princess, Bastard, Qu een (2010).jpg

Queen Mary Tudor of England (who reigned from 1553 to 1558) will forever live in history as “Bloody Mary,” for the number of Protestants put to the flames during the reign of this unbendingly Catholic monarch. In this inviting biography, British historian Whitelock presents a more favorable queen. The eldest child of Henry VIII, Mary was initially his pampered only child, but despair over the lack of a male heir led him through a series of wives and the relegation of Mary as a bastard. As a Catholic, she experienced difficult times during the English Reformation and particularly during the brief reign of the ultra-Protestant Edward VI, her brother. Her fight to achieve the throne as Edward's rightful heir is seen here as showcasing in full color Mary's mettle: “her triumph over the other contestants to the throne was one of the most surprising events of the sixteenth century.” The author sees survivalism in her subject, where other historians have seen only inflexibility and self-righteousness.

Arnold Krammer - War Crimes, Genocide, and the Law , A Guide to the Issues (2010).jpg

The issue of government-sanctioned torture is very much a part of today's headlines, but it is nothing new. In 1915, nearly 800,000 Armenians were murdered by the Turks and no one was punished. The same number of people perished in the 1994 Rwanda genocide—in just 100 days. In four years, between 1975 and 1979, Cambodia's Pol Pot regime was responsible for the deaths of just under two million people.

Egypt Exploration Society - An Atlas of Ancient Eg ypt (1894).jpg

The Egypt Exploration Fund was founded in 1882 by Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards (1831-1892), author and Egyptologist, with the assistance of Sir Erasmus Wilson (1809-1884) and Reginald Stuart Poole (1832-1895). The Fund was incorporated under the Companies Act in 1888, and changed its name to the Egypt Exploration Society in 1919. Particularly in its earlier years it had close though informal connections with the British Museum, where Poole and other leading members of the Fund were curators, and with University College London, where Miss Edwards established the first English chair of Egyptian archaeology and philology. The Society and its library rented various premises until it acquired its present quarters in Doughty Mews in 1968.

The records of the Society have been carefully preserved. Along with minutes and accounts there are papers relating to subscriptions, to the Society’s publications (particularly the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology) and to events such as exhibitions and lectures. Of particular note are the papers covering the activities of the Fund down to 1918; letters mainly of the inter-War period from such eminent Egyptologists as Sir Alan Gardiner, TE Peet, FL Griffith and Sir Harold Idris Bell; and detailed records of expeditions to and excavations in Egypt and the Sudan, including photographs, maps and drawings. The collection also includes personal papers of Amelia Edwards and Prof WB Emery, and the records of the Society for the Preservation of Monuments of Ancient Egypt, transferred to the EEF when it was wound up in 1910.

The Commission is grateful to the Society for the opportunity to note the contents of this interesting and valuable archive. It was examined by RJ Olney and AP Lewis on 14 February 2000, in connection with research for the Commission’s forthcoming guide to the Papers of British Antiquaries and Historians, and they would like to record their own thanks to Dr Patricia Spencer and her colleagues for their help and hospitality on that occasion.

Kristina A. Curry Rogers, Jeffrey A. Wilson - The Sauropods, Evolution and Paleobiology (2005).jpg

Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest animals ever to walk the earth, and they represent a substantial portion of vertebrate biomass and biodiversity during the Mesozoic Era. The story of sauropod evolution is told in an extensive fossil record of skeletons and footprints that span the globe and 150 million years of earth history. This generously illustrated volume is the first comprehensive scientific summary of sauropod evolution and paleobiology. The contributors explore sauropod anatomy, detail its variations, and question the myth that life at large size led to evolutionary stagnation and eventual replacement by more "advanced" herbivorous dinosaurs. Chapters address topics such as the evolutionary history and diversity of sauropods; methods for creating three-dimensional reconstructions of their skeletons; questions of sauropod herbivory, tracks, gigantism, locomotion, reproduction, growth rates, and more. This book, together with the recent surge in sauropod discoveries around the world and taxonomic revisions of fragmentary genera, will shed new light on "nature's greatest extravagances."

World War II - Countdown to Catastrophe (2010).jpg

Gr 6-9-These six volumes, each of which could stand alone, make a cohesive set when read together. The information is accurate and the volumes are liberally illustrated with many rarely seen black-and-white photos. Some color images enhance the texts. Much of the content will likely require some prior knowledge for complete understanding. Sidebars give additional political, biographical, and historical information. The format is attractive with one-quarter to full-page photos, but the captions are mostly redundant. Almost every page needlessly pulls one sentence out of the text and repeats it on the same page in a blue stylized font. Unfortunately, the entire set is plagued with typographical errors, incomplete sentences, and repeated textual phrases. Each volume contains several color maps, but they seem to be too few or misplaced, and are too cluttered, making it difficult at times to find the places mentioned in the texts. Each title concludes with a self-contained time line. The material as presented is acceptable, but the mechanical glitches make these books additional, rather than first, purchases.

Hayden White - Metahistory, The Historical Imagina tion in Nineteenth-Century Europe (1975).jpg

Metahistory is something more than a study of philosophies of history (although it is that too, and no doubt the most important work in the field since Collingwood): it is also a methodological manifesto, a more sustained argument for a deep-figural hermeneutic than has been worked out anywhere before now.
