NAHIDE BOZKURT.
[Abbasids] Abbâsîler.
New Turkish Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). Edition in Turkish. 304 p. [Abbasids] Abbâsîler. The Abbasids rose to power by bringing the Umayyad reign to an end with a revolution that has been described as a definitive turning point in the history of Islam. The Abbasids' accession to power, who reigned for over 500 years, bringing with them many changes in political, social, cultural and religious construct. This study, which aims to provide a historical account of the Abbasid period for those who are curious about the history of Islam, is designed to cover the political history of the Abbasid period, as well as topics related to culture&civilization. While analyzing the outlines of the Abbasid history, this book exhibits an approach that presents the period in a chronological stream and centers around the major events and facts that constitute the basic Dynamics of the era, rather than a caliph-centered narrative style.

NEPAL RANA DYNASTY.
Fine Group Portrait Photograph of Young Male Members of the Ruling Rana Family of Nepal
Probably Katmandu: ca 1928. Gelatin silver print group portrait photograph window mounted and framed 8 6/8 x 10 4/8 inches; framed 15 4/8 x 17 4/8 inches. A fine group portrait of six younger male members of the ruling Rana family of Nepal probably taken during the reign of Maharaja Chandra Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana 1863-1929. The young men are all dressed in their ceremonial uniforms standing in front of a studio backdrop which has been assembled outside. The Royal House of Nepal claims descent from the "Chitor dynasty ruling at Udaipur. Ajaya Simha alias Mincha Khan younger son of Bhupal Ranaji Rao established himself as Prince of Nayakot Lambjang Kaski and Tanhun ca. 1495. His successor Jagdeva Khan conquered the principality of Kaski and secured the title of Shah from the Emperor of India during the sixteenth century. "Drabya Shah great-grandson of Jagdeva conquered Gorkha establishing himself as the founder of the fortunes of the dynasty. His descendant Prithvi Narayan entered the Katmandu valley and ejected the Malla dynasty becoming King in 1768. His successors conquered or subdued all the remaining petty principalities and unified the kingdom. They twice invaded Tibet but were severaly beaten and forced to become tributaries of the Emperor of China. The Indian borderlands and seized several principalities thereby coming into conflict with the British East India Company. "Although severely beaten back to within reach of their borders the Gurkha soldiers put up such an heroic defence that won the admiration of their foes. Enemies became firm friends and peace terms were generous leaving Nepal as a virtually independent buffer state. The close association with the British forces date from this period captured Gurkha units being recruited en masse. "Court intrigues and the succession of minors resulted in the advent of powerful Ministers. Assassinations and revolutions became commonplace as different court favourites and their families competed for power. Eventually and perhaps inevitably the tables were turned. The prime ministership became a virtual dictatorship. "Jang Bahadur Kunwar Ranaji became Prime Minister in 1846 after yet another bloody coup. He consolidated his position in 1857 laying the foundations of a military oligarchy which lasted for a century. He received the title of Maharaja of Lambjang and Kaski and the offices of Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief made hereditary within his family. "The status of the King during the Rana period closely resembled that of the Emperors of Japan. He became a semi-divine figure greatly venerated but kept away from political matters his movements watched and actions closely controlled. The Prime Minister's position was not unlike that of the Shogun his office was hereditary and he controlled all political and military affairs. Foreign relations were limited to the periodic tribute missions to China and close co-operation with the British in India no more than a handful of foreigners were permitted to visit the country and trade was restricted. "The immense contribution by Gurkha troops during the Great War prompted recognition of the full independence of the country by Britain in 1923. Although diplomatic relations were opened with the major European powers the closed system remained in place. However Nepal could not remain immune from the strong currents of change that engulfed South Asia in 1947 and 1948. Within two years a revolution had broken out overthrowing the Rana oligarchy and bringing the monarchy centre-stage once more. "The 1950 revolution may have secured a democratic regime but Nepal's journey has not proved to be a stable one since then. The Kings of Nepal have often had to play an important part in Nepalese politics. On two occasions the constitution has been abrogated and democratic institutions suspended with the King assuming executive powers. "King Birendra Queen Aishwari their two younger children and five other members of the Royal Family were massacred by the then Crown Prince Dipendra in the grounds of Narayanhiti Royal Palace in June 2001. This was the worst incident of its kind in modern history. King Gyanendra the surviving brother of Birendra succeeded to the throne in an atmosphere of much confusion and great sadness. He attempted to solve the mounting crisis of a Maoist revolution by dismissing the ineffectual elected politicians and assuming direct rule in 2006. The result of his actions were to unite opposition against him leading to riots in the streets and further unrest until he was forced to bow to popular pressure and recall parliament in 2007. He was subsequently deposed by the Constituent Assembly on 28th May 2008 when Nepal was declared a federal republic" Christopher Buyers Royal Ark online. [Probably Katmandu: ca 1928]. unknown
