1826réf. K3DD78TRHAUCParis: Imprimerie Royale back of half-title: Auguste Nepveu 1826. Contemporary red half morocco gold-tooled spine marbled sides. 8vo. With 2 folding lithographed maps partly coloured by hand and 19 hand-coloured lithographed plates. First edition of an illustrated account of a British campaign in Egypt with all the plates coloured by hand posthumously published from the memoirs of the French count Louis-Pantaléon de Noé 1728-1816. De Noè had sailed for India when his position became insecure under the Directoire. He first describes his journey to India on the Cuffnells and gives a geographical description of the region. He also gives a detailed description of the Indian/British army naming the various regiments and showing its soldiers and their uniforms in the coloured plates. In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte led a campaign to Egypt and Syria with his Armée d'Orient hoping to conquer the region and weaken British power. In the third chapter De Noé describes the British measures to prevent French success. After some defeats the British despatched a large force from India to Egypt in 1800 and De Noé joined it. From Mumbai they sailed to the Red Sea went ashore at Mecca and ended up in "Kosseir" El Quseir where they had to prepare themselves for a journey across the desert. De Noé describes this journey and the people they encounter stopping at Qina and Girga before reaching Cairo. He describes the city and the Gizeh pyramids before continuing to Alexandria. He gives a description of the Ottomans Bedouins and Mamluks all shown in the plates. The last two chapters deal mostly with the negotiations between the English and the Ottomans to impede the French.With the bookplate of Dr. Jacob Philippe Le Dru on the paste-down.

Most Americans would be shocked and disturbed to learn that the harsh rhetoric of virulent anti-Semitism is alive and thriving in Israel. Israel is a Jewish state after all so the anti-Semitism found there could hardly be aimed at all Jews. In fact the Israeli brand of anti-Semitism pits secular Jews against fundamentalist Jews the ones in traditional clothing following exacting religious rules. Writing from his unique vantage as a Tel Aviv resident Noah Efron examines the discomfiture and spleen that some secular Jews feel when confronted with their ultra-Orthodox brethren. He recounts the difficult history of the ultra-Orthodox in Europe and Palestine and examines their role in Israel a country obsessed with and conflicted about what it means to be a Jew. Despite political economic cultural and religious reasons for the tension between the two groups little can explain the ferocity with which the Orthodox are loathed today or the shocking rhetoric that many secular Jews use to denounce and ridicule them. This chilling and disturbing book documents the terrible details of an animosity based partly on fact and partly on a fantasy that threatens the future of Israel. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Efron; Efron Noah J.

We do not attempt to authoritatively engage these concerns here nor do we wish to insinuate that elevated interest in America s cultural affairs is somehow unique to our present historical moment. We do however think that this sampling of discourse by and about a country s visual artists leads to insights about its politics and society not gained elsewhere. At the very least it gives a sense of what it is like to live in the United States today and results in some inspired debate. We hope that this book serves not only as a valuable compendium of recent writing about contemporary art but also as inspiration to seek further understanding of these Uncertain States. So Noah Horowitz and Brian Sholis note in the introduction to this unique compilation of writing around art and cultural politics in America since 2000.

This book studies the various and even opposing ways in which Geddes has been interpreted up to this day providing a new reading of his life writing and plans. Geddes' scrutiny is presented as a case study for Town Planning as a whole. Tying together for the first time key concepts in cultural geography and colonial urbanism the book proposes a more vigorous historiography exposing hidden narratives and past agendas still dominating the disciplinary discourse. Written by a cultural geographer and a town planner this book offers a rounded full-length analysis of Geddes' vision and its material manifestation functioning also as a much needed critical tool to evaluate Modern Town Planning as an academic and practical discipline. The book also includes a long overdue model of his urban theory. . 2011. 0415578663 . Routledge hardcover
