1987315 pages including footnotes and index. "This explosive book lays bare the personalities and institutional relations behind the headlines. It goes beyond the recent events to discern the roots of contemporary U.S. covert activity within the past two decades. Delves into the details of CIA and extra-CIA operations, including drug-trafficking, gun-running, government-toppling, and assassination." - from back cover. "An informative and shocking book that takes us from the Bay of Pigs fiasco to the drug-fuelled secret war in Laos, from the urban hustle-and-bustle of Tehran to the steamy jungles of Central America. Profiteers pose as patriarchs, mercenaries claim to be humanitarians, and totalitarian thugs commit their atrocities in the name of political freedom - while back in Washington it's all just one more day at the office." - R.T. Naylor, author of Hot Money. Average wear. Unmarked. Binding sound. Good working copy. Book

Using an artificial light source and a combination of lenses these devices enlarged small transparency images or miniature models and projected them onto a wall or screen. dimensions : 85 cm x 10 cm. The photographer Arthur Radiguet died the year of this image in 1905 worked for the " la Maison Molteni" famous for their lantern images. Very rare to find such a aerial view of 1905 iran.

The image records the elaborate furnishings and architectural decoration associated with Qajar court interiors including geometric window ornamentation patterned carpets upholstered seating candelabras and floral arrangements. Its carefully applied gouache coloring distinguishes individual architectural and decorative features preserving a nineteenth-century photographic depiction of Persian royal interiors and the material culture of the Qajar court.

The composition presents a richly furnished palace room with several seating areas patterned rugs candelabras and seven floral arrangements. Geometric window decorations are highlighted in blue and green while the furniture carpets and architectural details are selectively colored in red brown blue gold and grey. A small apparently ornamental pool occupies the center of the room. The gouache additions emphasize the interior's decorative surfaces while retaining the photographic detail of the original albumen print.

1905ref. 144261905. Molteni Radiguet & Massiot. Vue Prise du Palais du Shah Les Nouveaux Quartiers de Téhéran 1905. Original photographic glass lantern slide recording an elevated view from the Shah's palace in Tehran during the reign of Mozaffar al-Din Shah Qajar 1896-1907. The image encompasses the royal palace gardens and surrounding urban landscape with the developing districts of Tehran extending into the distance. Its French title translating to "View Taken from the Shah's Palace the New Districts of Tehran" specifically identifies the city's expanding neighborhoods. Dating from the final years of Qajar absolute monarchy the photograph records Tehran immediately before the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911 which led to the establishment of a constitutional government and the opening of Persia's first national parliament in 1906. Vue Prise du Palais du Shah Les Nouveaux Quartiers de Téhéran. Paris: Projections Molteni Radiguet & Massiot 1905. Original gelatin silver bromide positive glass lantern slide measuring 8.5 x 10 cm. The photograph presents a broad elevated perspective overlooking the palace gardens toward Tehran's surrounding buildings and newer residential districts. The slide bears the French title "VUE PRISE DU PALAIS DU SHAH-LES NOUVEAUX QUARTIERS DE TEHERAN" and the publisher's identification "Projections Molteni Radiguet & Massiot 15 bd des filles du calvaire-Paris." Produced for projection through an optical or magic lantern the glass transparency could be enlarged onto a screen for public lectures educational presentations and illustrated travel programs. The Parisian optical firm Molteni was acquired in 1899 by Arthur Radiguet and Georges Massiot who continued manufacturing photographic projection equipment and lantern slides for scientific educational and public presentations. Arthur Radiguet a pioneer in electrical and optical instruments who also worked extensively with early X-ray technology died in 1905. The firm's distribution of photographic views brought images of distant cities and historic sites before European audiences through projected lectures. This Tehran view records the Qajar capital during a period of urban expansion and political unrest with its French inscription identifying the newer neighborhoods as the principal subject. The surviving glass positive preserves an early twentieth-century photographic view of the city before subsequent phases of modernization under the Pahlavi dynasty. In very good condition. unknown
1873ref. SB-19-1628Leipzig, Brockhaus, 1873. Zweite vermehrte und verbesserte Auflage der deutschen Originalausgabe. XIV, 384 S. Grüner Halbleinenband der Zeit; Buchdeckel mit mehrfarbigen Marmorbezügen und mit Leinenecken; marmorierter Buchschnitt; farbige Vorsätze. Legendäre Reisebeschreibung des ungarischen Orientalisten und Turkologen Hermann Vámbéry (1832 - 1913). Vámbéry, der einer jüdisch-orthodoxen Familie entstammte, betrieb schon in jungem Alter ethnographisch-linguistische Studien und brachte sich autodidaktisch mehrere Sprachen, im Besonderen Arabisch, Türkisch und Persisch bei. Im Alter von 22 Jahren begab er sich nach Konstantinopel, wo er während seiner Tätigkeit als Hauslehrer Gelegenheit fand, verschiedene türkische Dialekte und Sprachen zu erlernen. 1861 begab sich Vámbéry, verkleidet als sunnitischer Derwisch, auf eine vierjährige Reise , die ihn zunächst in die bis dahin für westliche Reisende weitgehend verschlossenen Länder Armenien, Persien und Turkestan führte, später über das Uralgebiet und die Ostküste des Kaspischen Meeres nach Mittelasien; nach Aufenthalten in Chiwa, Teheran, Trapezunt, Buchara, Samarkand und Herat kehrte er von seiner Reise, die ihm weitreichende geographische, ethnographische und linguistische Erkenntnisse über die vorder- und mittelasiatischen Länder vermittelt hatte, ihm nach Konstantinopel zurück. In den folgenden drei Jahrzehnten, von 1865 bis 1905, lehrte Vámbéry als Professor für orientalische Sprachen der der Universität Budapest. Sein hier angebotenes Werk "Reise in Mittelasien" gibt die Stationen dieser faszinierenden Forschungsmission im Einzelnen wieder. Enthalten sind 12 ganzseitige Holzschnitt-Illustrationen sowie eine großformatige, mehrfach ausfaltbare Karte im Format 41 x 49 cm.
