GIBSON JAMES R. COMPILED TRANSLATED & EDITED BY
California Through Russian Eyes 1806-1848
The Arthur H. Clark Company Norrman: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. A unique and richly detailed collection of eyewitness accounts. In the early nineteenth century Russia established a colony in California that lasted until the Russian-American Company sold Fort Ross and Bodega Bay to John Sutter in 1841. This annotated collection of Russian accounts of Alta California many of them translated here into English from Russian for the first time presents richly detailed impressions by visiting Russian mariners scientists and Russian-American Company officials regarding the environment people economy and politics of the province. Gathered from Russian archival collections and obscure journals these testimonies represent a major contribution to the little-known history of Russian America. Well educated and curious the visiting Russians were acute observers generous in their appreciation of Hispanic hospitality but outspoken in their criticisms of all they found backward or abhorrent. In the various reports and reminiscences contained within this volume they make astute observations of both Hispanic and Native inhabitants describing the Catholic missions with their devout friars and neophyte workers; the corruptible Franciscan missionaries; the sorry plight of mission Indians; the Californios themselves whose religion language dwellings cuisine dress and pastimes were novel to the Russians; the economic and social changes in Alta California following Mexican independence; and the schemes of American traders and settlers to draw the province into the United States. Amplified by James R. Gibson's informative annotations and featuring a gallery of elegant color illustrations this unique volume casts new light on the history of Spanish and Mexican California. James R. Gibson is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Senior Scholar and Professor Emeritus at York University Toronto. A historical geographer specializing in Russian imperial expansion to the east he is the author of numerous publications on the Russian Far East Russian America and the Pacific Northwest.

Storia della guerra del Pacifico. Vol. 2: 1943-1945
br. Dall'attacco a Pearl Harbor il 7 dicembre 1941, "un giorno segnato dall'infamia", alla spaventosa resa imposta dalla bomba atomica, l'opera in due volumi di Giuglaris spiega chiaramente quale fosse l'obiettivo del Giappone durante il secondo conflitto mondiale: imporre la propria egemonia su tutta l'Asia. L'autore costruisce una narrazione affascinante e accurata dei combattimenti tra marines e soldati imperiali, lasciando emergere un quadro preciso della politica giapponese e delle sue relazioni con i vari paesi dell'Estremo Oriente. Basato quasi interamente su fonti nipponiche, questo libro permette di comprendere sia le motivazioni che spinsero il Giappone ad attaccare gli USA, sia le modalità strategiche di conduzione della guerra.
