Esposito and his staff present clearly and concisely, ., the events of the military campaigns and the factors that influenced the course of action and the outcome of the civil War. The battle maps do not merely portray static situations; they are dynamic, with many map sequences clearly showing the movements of the opposing forces from day to day, sometimes from hour to hour. Moreover, each map is accompanied by text on the opposite page; while the theme is developed in the map, this supplementary narrative explains and comments on the situation pictured. The nineteen major campaigns of the war are carefully detailed in this manner. Explanatory symbols in color make clear troop movements, time sequences, numerical strength of units, boundaries, fortifications, and all the other elements necessary for an understanding of the strategies and tactics involved in the campaigns and specific battles." Chronological chart, large bibliography, plus maps of the Colonial wars, Revolutionary War, 1812, Mexicqn war,

JACQUES PERVITITCH.
Istanbul in the insurance maps of Jacques Pervititch.= Jacques Pervititch sigorta haritalarinda Istanbul. Project Coord.: Seden Ersoy, Çagatay Anadol.
Fine Fine English Original bdg. with original dust wrapper. DJ. Folio. (39 x 32 cm). In English and Turkish. First Edition. 338 p., 291 ills. in total including b/w and colors: Color ills. of 245 maps (some of them 2 page-sized) and 46 small ills. including some of Constantinople photos and maps. The Pervititch maps that are published in this book should be interpreter from this general point of view. Istanbul realized its modernization in the second half on the 19th century. The frequent fires that occurred in the city were major disasters for its inhabitants, but at the same time created opportunities for the city administrators who intended to push through this modernization. In the aftermath of the 1870 Beyoglu fire, one of the biggest of these fires, a significant change occurered in the realitonship between society and fires. The population of Istanbul became acquainted with insurance that covered fire risks. Numerous insurance companies established branches in Istanbul. Fire insurance became a productive industry. This development turned maps showing the fire risks in the building stock of the city an extremely necessary source of information for insurance companies. Initially, insurance maps were commisioned to the C.E. Goad Company for a rahter limited area of the city between 1904-1906. Later, Jacques Pervititch prepared much more detailed maps covering almost the entire area of the city for the Central Office of Turkish Insurance Agents. Pervititch drew over 230 maps between 1922 and 1945.
