2013New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 205 p., color and b/w photos. Nickolas Muray. Portrait of a photographer.= Bir fotografçinin portresi. [Exhibition catalogue]. Renowned as the most successful portrait and fashion photographer of New York in the 1920s, American-Hungarian photographer Nickolas Muray (1892-1965) revolutionized photography with his use of natural color photography in advertising in the 1930s. For the first time ever, Muray's photographs can be seen at Pera Museum between January 25 and April 21, 2013. Curated by Salomon Grimberg, the exhibition brings together Nickolas Muray's photographs in a retrospective. Garnered from George Eastman House, the famous photography archive in the US, the Nickolas Muray Archive, which is under the direction of the Muray family, and various private collections, this selection summarizes Muray's career, covering nearly 50 years. Besides Muray's black-and-whites, the exhibition presents some of the color photographs that made him famous in Hollywood circles and the American advertising industry. Muray has photographed many famous actors, dancers, artists, and writers, from Greta Garbo to Marilyn Monroe, from Elizabeth Taylor to Martha Graham; he is also known for the first color photographs he took for famous brands such as Lucky Strike, Coca Cola, and General Foods. Published regularly in some of the most prominent magazines of his time like The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Dance, Shadowland, and Theater, these photographs are accompanied by the artist's portraits of Frida Kahlo, his great love.

1999Fine Fine English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. [vii], 296 p. Russia and the Middle East: Towards a new foreign policy. The end of the Soviet Union precipitated a reassessment of Russia s foreign policy in many parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. This text looks at how a once cherished commitment to ideological goals and superpower rivalry with the United States was replaced, after 1991, with a pragmatic foreign policy based on national interest, epitomized by the appointment of Yevgeni Primakov as foreign minister. The book examines Gorbachev s new thinking ; the foreign policy debates under President Yeltsin; and the warning of Russian influence over the Palestinians and its consequent exclusion from the secret Oslo records. Case studies of Russi a relations with Israel, Syria, Lebannon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey and Iran provide the reader with a detailed analysis of the region s wider diplomatic and strategic concerns. Extensive use is made of both Russian and Arabic language sources and of interviews with Russian and Arab officials, including Yassir Arafat and Andrei Kozyrev.

1919Item is in ORIGINAL Condition, With Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!! Notes & Condition: Mason's thorough survey and cartography of tribal Kurdistan delineates the region south of the Nestorian and Jilu belt, west of the Turco-Persian frontier and north-west of the Sulaimaniya district. Interesting account of methods and people employed in the map making process including an historical summary of Kurds in the region, war with the Armenians, Russian and Turkish control. Features commentary relating to the geographical structure of the country; obstacles to mapping; best routes for road development and telegraphs; Kurdistan's climate of extremes and the need for the establishment of a southern Armenian boundary amongst much else. Fascinating too, for the sketches of the expedition's life on the road and its intercourse with the Kurdish people. Excerpt from the text: "Kurdistan is a very old country. Some of its population are believed to be descended from the Jews of the First Captivity, and so can claim to be part of the Lost Ten Tribes with more truth than the Americans. probably most of us have a vague idea that the Kurds have been concerned in Armenian massacres; fewer of us know that a very large section of Christians in pre-war days lived quite happily in Kurdistan.. The Kurd has not changed much. These Nestorians are probably the most primitive sect of Christians in the world; they were certainly there before the arrival of Mohammed on the earth. Starvation, war, and the Turks have driven them out during the last few years to find refuge under our rule in Mesopotamia, and it is one of our difficult duties to resettle them... I have heard that when the Nestorians left, the Moslem Kurds plundered and wantonly destroyed most of their villages. These nestorians must not be confused with the Armenians, and are held in much more respect by the Moslem Kurds than the latter..."End Excerpt. 22 pages, including a few photographic plates and 2 in-text sketch maps. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition.
