GIANNINI Amedeo -
La questione d'Oriente.
Milano, 1940, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 497/508 con 7 cartine. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Ginat Joseph and Perkins Edward J.
Palestinian Refugees : Old Problems - New Solutions
Brighton: Sussex Academic Press 2001. Book. Like New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. There has been little progress on the refugee problem because of official Palestinian public positions other Arab countries' approach to the 'right of return' of all Palestinian refugees and the contrasting Israeli public policy of not allowing any refugees to return to Israel. Such polar-opposite approaches can never resolve this difficult and longstanding humanitarian problem. By working collectively the world's leading experts from Arab countries the Palestinian Authority Israel Europe and the United States have developed a chessboard of proposed solutions. The volume in part reflects the polarization that exists on the issue and in part moves away from the political slogans of both sides toward concrete proposals for negotiating a comprehensive agreement. 341pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover

Ginat Rami; Noema Meir
Egypt and the Second Palestinian Intifada : Policymaking with Multifaceted Commitments
Brighton and Portland: Sussex Academic Press 2011. Book. New. Cloth/Laminated Boards. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. With the outbreak of the Palestinian Intifadat al-Aqsa in September 2000 that followed the failure of the Camp David II summit the chain of belligerent events took Egypt by surprise. Facing a dilemma in its search for an appropriate policy towards the Palestinian-Israeli escalation this study argues that Egypt's policy towards the second Intifada may best be understood by scrutinising several circles of reference that directly affected its policymaking process throughout the long years of the bloody Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These circles of reference comprise interests and calculations derived from Egyptian internal issues; regional factors - Egypt's role and position in the Arab world in general and its relations with the Palestinians in particular; Egypt's relations with Israel; and its strategic ties with the United States. The growing strength and the expansion of the global Islamic terrorist network that challenges the stability of the present Arab regimes constitutes a lynchpin at every layer. Egypt's foreign policy is based on Realpolitik that is on pragmatic and material factors rather than on ideological or moral considerations. Safeguarding its national interests is Egypt's prime goal. In this regard Egypt considers the peace with Israel as a strategic national asset. For Mubarak's regime the abrogation of the peace treaty with Israel has never been an option even during the worst days of the Intifada. Mubarak has shown exemplary restraint throughout the conflict. Despite occasional harsh anti-Israeli statements aimed mainly at easing internal and external pressures Mubarak's regime can on the whole be seen as a responsible and stabilising factor vehemently striving to prevent regional escalation. This study is based primarily on Egyptian sources as well as interviews and conversations with senior members of the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies. It also draws on other primary and secondary sources in Arabic Hebrew and English. The book is essential reading for all scholars involved and engaged with the Israel-Arab conflict. 149pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover

In his preface, the author Girgis indicates that his work deals with the sciences of the stars and constellations, including phenomena such as eclipses. He therefore drew from "ancient manuscripts, some of them thousands of years old", and used the astronomical concordances "of the scholars of India, Persia, Greece and Egypt" to write his treatise, which boasts numerous meticulously executed diagrams and tables.

GLANTZ AARON
How America Lost Iraq
Jeremy P. Tarcher / Penguin New York: 2005. Hardcover with dustjacket in protective mylar cover. Good condition. Back endpaper has been removed. Library discard. As a reporter for the staunchly antiwar Pacifica Radeio twenty-seven-year-old Aaron Glantz had spent much of early 2003 warning of catastrophe if the United States invaded Iraq. But as he watched the statue of Saddam topplehe wondered whether he was mistaken: In interviews with regular Iraqis he found wide support for the invasion. Thenpublic opinion changed. In How America Lost Iraq Glantz tells his story of working far outside the so-called Green Zone the U.S.-protected turf from which most journalistic reports are filed. Glantz's reporting reveals truths that most media outlets missedsuch as: the desertion and mass mutiny of the U.S.-trained Iraqi army;the appalling level of civilian casualties and mass incarcerations; the failure of contractors such as Halliburton and Bechtel to supply Iraqis with the ordinary necessities of daily life; and almost every poll showing that the vast majority of Iraqis want the United States to leave - a figure confirmed by recent election results. Includes an Index. ISBN: 1585424269. Jeremy P. Tarcher / Penguin, New York: 2005 hardcover

As the Falcon Her Bells. London, Heinemann, (1963).
Small 4to. 223 pp., final blank page. With coloured photographic frontispiece and numerous black and white photographic illustrations in the text. Original full cloth with giltstamped spine-title. Printed pastedowns. First edition, rare. "Excellent memoir" (Gallagher) of one of Britain's leading experts on hawking and falconry, Glasier (1915-2000), who spent much of his life involved with the conservation and breeding of raptors and bringing them to public attention through the foundation of the Falconry Centre, Newent, Gloucestershire. - In his autobiography he recalls his early life and his influential uncle, the falconer and photographer Charles Knight, who introduced him to the sport.

GLUBB JOHN BAGOT
The Great Arab Conquests
Hodder and Stoughton London: 1963. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition but dustjacket is worn. The fantastically short time in which this empire was built up the ludicrous simplicity of its "administration" under the barefoot khalifs these victories won through burning religious zeal and desperate courage by relatively untrained and unorganized armies make for exciting reading. No one-volume history has ever covered this remarkable material before and this is a book made vivid and relevant by General Glubb's knowledge of the terrain and of the Arab character his gift for seeing modern parallels the care he has taken not to assume background knowledge of the period on the part of his readers and the maps he has personally drawn.

Goeje, M[ichael] J[an] de.
Mémoire sur les Carmathes du Bahrain et les Fatimides. Leiden, E. J. Brill, 1886.
8vo. 1 bl. f., (6), 232 pp. Original front printed wrapper cover bound within contemporary red half morocco with marbled boards and giltstamped spine. Marbled endpapers. Mémoires d'Histoire et de Géographie Orientales, No. 1, second edition (first published in 1862). Standard work on a mediaeval Shi'a Ismaili group, the Qarmatians of Bahrain, which at this period included much of eastern Arabia as well as the islands that comprise the present state. For much of the 10th century the Qarmatians were the most powerful force in the Persian Gulf and Middle East, controlling the coast of Oman and collecting tribute from the caliph in Baghdad. They instigated what has been termed a "century of terrorism" in Kufa: they considered the pilgrimage to Mecca a superstition and, once in control of the Bahraini state, they launched raids along the pilgrim routes crossing Arabia. In 906 they ambushed the pilgrim caravan returning from Mecca and massacred 20,000 pilgrims. The Qarmatians came close to raiding Baghdad in 927 and sacked Mecca and Medina in 930. The assault on Islam's holiest sites saw the Qarmatians desecrate the Well of Zamzam with corpses of Hajj pilgrims and take the Black Stone from Mecca to Al-Hasa. - The Dutch Arabist and Orientalist de Goeje (1836-1909) taught at the University of Leiden. He was editor of the "Encyclopaedia of Islam" and collated the Bodleian manuscripts of al-Idrisi. - A few contemporary pencil notes in the margins. With an appendix containing relevant Arabic texts. Minor rubbing to binding, but altogether a fine copy of this rare work; no copy in auction records. Macro, Bibliography of the Arabian Peninsula, 1052. OCLC 4738568. Cf. Fück 211 (for Goeje).

Goetz, F[rançois] J[oseph].
Par brevet d’invention. Gant hygiènique du cheval ou brosse arabe dite Kaffah propre à polir le poil. Paris, (imprimerie de Sètier), lith. de G. Frey, [1829?].
8vo. Lithogr. title-page, 29, (1) pp., 1 blank fol. With 2 small illustrations on a lithogr. plate. Original grey lithogr. wrappers. First illustrated edition, previously published twice in Paris in 1828 as "Brosse hygiènique du Cheval" (with different page counts and without a plate). The present edition could be traced exclusively at the Biblioteca dell'Accademia delle scienze, Turin; the copy in the Bibliothèque nationale de France appears to be a variant preserving the original title. In 1830 Baumgärtner in Leipzig published a somewhat more widely received German translation: "Der königl. privilegirte Gesundheits-Handschuh für die Behandlung des Pferdes. Oder arabische Bürste, genannt Kaffah, die Haut des Pferdes zu glätten" (31 pp., without a plate). A review, published in Prague in 1834, describes the author's patent: "This 'Kaffah' is a fabric of horsehair, in the shape of a long mitten into which the hand is stuck so as to groom, rub down, clean, and smoothen the horse without any danger of injury, so common in the use of a currycomb". This grooming mitt - "qafaz" in Arabic - supposedly was in wide use in the Middle East and offered numerous advantages in the army and cavalry, being exceedingly economical. - Untrimmed; occasional insignificant waterstains to the wide margins, otherwise very clean. The plate shows the "kaffah" rolled out for use and folded for travel. Very rare. Menessier de la Lance I, 560. ICCU TO0\1167471. Cf. Huth 113 (German edition only). OCLC 457984303.
