‎FRINK LIAM‎

‎A Tale Of Three Villages: Indigenous-colonial Interactions In Southwestern Alaska 1740-1950‎

‎University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. People are often able to identify change agents. They can estimate possible economic and social transitions and they are often in an economic or social position to make calculated�sometimes risky�choices. Exploring this dynamic A Tale of Three Villages is an investigation of culture change among the Yup'ik Eskimo people of the southwestern Alaskan coast from just prior to the time of Russian and Euro-North American contact to the mid-twentieth century. Liam Frink focuses on three indigenous-colonial events along the southwestern Alaskan coast: the late precolonial end of warfare and raiding the commodification of subsistence that followed and finally the engagement with institutional religion. Frink's innovative interdisciplinary methodology respectfully and creatively investigates the spatial and material past using archaeological ethnoecological and archival sources. The author's narrative journey tracks the histories of three villages ancestrally linked to Chevak a contemporary Alaskan Native community: Qavinaq a prehistoric village at the precipice of colonial interactions and devastated by regional warfare; Kashunak where people lived during the infancy and growth of the commercial market and colonial religion; and Old Chevak a briefly occupied "stepping-stone" village inhabited just prior to modern Chevak. The archaeological spatial data from the sites are blended with ethnohistoric documents local oral histories eyewitness accounts of people who lived at two of the villages and Frink's nearly two decades of participant-observation in the region. Frink provides a model for work that examines interfaces among indigenous women and men old and young demonstrating that it is as important as understanding their interactions with colonizers. He demonstrates that in order to understand colonial history we must actively incorporate indigenous people as actors not merely as reactors. "Uses a novel approach to understanding the native Alaskan past and how the experiences that comprise that past were negotiated between indigenous and colonizing peoples."�James A. Delle co-editor of Out of Many One People: The Historical Archaeology of Colonial Jamaica "A significant contribution to Yup'ik studies and the archaeology and ethnohistory of southwestern Alaska."�Christyann M. Darwent University of California Davis "The work is one of the most significant in the literature of Arctic anthropology archaeology and ethnohistory."�Journal of Anthropological Research "A contribution of theoretical methodological and regional significance."�UNLV News University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2016 hardcover‎

‎FUCHIDA Mitsuo‎

‎Midway. The Battle that doomed Japan. Foreword by Professor Michael Lewis. [Introduction by Admiral Kondo. Translation by M. Chihaya. Edited from the Japanese edition by C.H. Kawakami and R. Pineau]. [First UK Edition]. FIRST UK EDITION IN FULL MOROCCO‎

‎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. Albion, p.297; Enser, p. 515.‎

‎FUKUI SHIZUO‎

‎Japanese Naval Vessels Survived. Their Post-War Activities and Final Disposition. SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY IN PUBLISHER'S SLIP-CASE‎

‎4to., First Edition, text entirely in Japanese, skeleton picture captions in English, with very numerous photographs and illustrations throughout; original blue boards, blue cloth back, upper board lettered in gilt in English, backstrip lettered in gilt in Japanese, brown silk marker, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the whole housed in the publisher's original card slip-case, the case mildly worn and frayed at extremities. 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.‎
