A highly readable and profusely illustrated account of great books through the ages, telling the stories of how they were produced, how they survived, the people who produced them and the great collectors who rediscovered and preserved them. Should appeal to every book collector, whatever his or her particular enthusiasms. Chapters on Manuscripts; Early Printing; Bookbinding; The Bible; Early Books in Hebrew; Herbals and Colour-Plate Flower Books; English Books with Colour Plates; Books on Architecture; The New World; Private Press Books; First Editions, Fakes & Forgeries; and Great Book Collectors. "Alan G. Thomas, the eminent bookseller, here tells the story of some of the world's greatest books, their creation and survival, and the men who were responsible for them. Unlike many writers on the subject, he never loses sight of their importance as landmarks in the history of mankind. Beginning with manuscripts from their emergence in the Dark Ages down to the Renaissance, he discusses many fascinating aspects of the subject: the invention of printing - Gutenberg, Aldus and Caxton, and the beautiful early woodcut books; bookbinding, from the Gospel found in the coffin of St Cuthbert to the superb work of French craftsmen still alive today; the heroic story of early editions of the Bible, and the Bible in Hebrew, both of which were often produced under conditions of persecution; the fifteenth-century herbals, the beautiful colour-plate flower books such as Redouté and Thornton's Temple of Flora, and a charming example of the art of book production, English books with coloured aquatint plates; the great books produced by Palladio, Gibbs and Robert Adam which did so much to influence architecture in Europe and America. Alan Thomas also considers the achievements of the New World, from the letter in which Columbus announced his discovery of America to one of the finest ornithological works ever produced - Audubon's The Birds of America. In more recent times he discusses the revival of printing through the Private Press movement, why first editions are collected, and recounts an astonishing series of fakes and forgeries. Finally, he follows the history of great book collectors, from men like Sir Robert Cotton who salvaged the manuscripts scattered by the sack of the monasteries to the great American collectors - Pierpont Morgan and Henry Huntington - who established libraries fully comparable to those of the Old World. The lively text and many beautiful illustrations, chosen from the finest books ever produced, do justice to the subject as one of the most glorious achievements of Western civilization." - from a contemporary advertisement.

Also contains Conclusion: The Final Catastrophe, and an Appendix on purges of High-ranking Officers, Ba'thists, and Politicians since July 17,1968. The author's assumptions about political behavior are relevant to the styles of reasoning employed and the kinds of evidence used. First, what leaders, parties, and citizens think and expressly say about politics matters. The words that people use are not a "reflection" of some hidden reality; they are themselves part of that reality. The problem always resides in how words and actions correspond. Important, somewhat information on the Ba'th can be found in speeches, party political programs, and the whole body of ideological artifacts. Second, despite the proclivity of those in public office to propaganda, rhetoric, chicanery, and lies, on the whole even they usually end up saying what they mean and meaning what they say. Third, the author eschews all variations of the conspiratorial view of history. The author singles out for consideration the demonstrably inverted relation between the common Iraqi perception of the pervasiveness of a hateful Western influence and the factually diminishing ability of the West to influence local events in the modern period. Kanan Makiya (born 1949) is an Iraqi-American academic and a professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at Brandeis University. He gained international attention writing the 1989 book Republic of Fear, which became a best-seller after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, and Cruelty and Silence (1991), a critique of the Arab intelligentsia. Makiya would later lobby the U.S. government to invade Iraq in 2003 in order to oust Hussein's regime. Makiya was born in Baghdad and left Iraq to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, later working for his father's architectural firm, Makiya & Associates which had branch offices in London and across the Middle East. As a former exile, he was a prominent member of the Iraqi opposition, a "close friend" of Ahmed Chalabi, and an influential proponent of the post-2003 Iraq War effort. He wrote under the pseudonym Samir al-Khalil to avoid endangering his family. In Republic of Fear (1989), which became a best-seller after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, he argues that Iraq had become a full-fledged totalitarian state, worse than despotic states such as Jordan or Saudi Arabia. Derived from a New York Times review by Adrienne Edgar. Iraq's Saddam Hussein has become the world's most notorious bully, but when ''Republic of Fear'' was published, few people were aware of the extremely repressive nature of his regime. And few cared, evidently; the book met with a resounding silence. The invasion of Kuwait has predictably focused attention on Iraq, and Pantheon Books has bought the paperback rights to ''Republic of Fear.'' Samir al-Khalil's study of Iraqi politics is definitely required reading for anyone with a serious interest in Iraq or in the political dynamics of dictatorship. Mr. Khalil analyzes Iraqi politics through what he sees as its defining feature: the extraordinarily high level of state-sponsored violence. (An expatriate Iraqi scholar, the author has firsthand knowledge of the state's capacity for violence; he wrote under a pseudonym to evade the long reach of Iraqi Government assassins.) The question he poses is this: Why has there been so much extra violence in Iraq - violence, in other words, that far exceeds what would be necessary to contain any potential opposition? In Mr. Khalil's view, the legitimacy of the current regime in Iraq was rooted in violence from the start. When the Arab Baath Socialist Party came to power in a coup after the Arab defeat by Israel in the 1967 war, it won the enthusiastic support of the population by orchestrating show trials and public executions of ''Zionist'' and ''imperialist'' spies. But the Iraqi masses, who had initially applauded the terror, soon were swallowed up by it. Iraqis came to live in a world of fear, as the Baath regime gradually recruited one-fifth of the labor force into agencies of violence and expanded the use of intimidation, deportation, torture and execution against real or imagined opponents. Mr. Khalil's argument that fear is at the heart of the Iraqi body politic is very convincing. In a concluding chapter on the Iran-Iraq war, Mr. Khalil explains the war as a logical result of the escalating internal repression that had culminated in Mr. Hussein's emergence as Iraq's absolute ruler in 1979. Watching the hitherto indifferent world struggle to respond to Iraq's aggression in Kuwait, Mr. Khalil must feel a certain grim satisfaction in being able to say, ''I told you so.''., Pantheon Books, 1990, 2.5, Scotts Valley, CA: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2019.

Author's business card laid in. Jairo E. Lopez (1982) is a Salvadorian author who devotes his spare time to art, music, literature, painting, philosophy, and architecture. In 2002, he began taking architecture courses at the University of El Salvador, in San Miguel, El Salvador. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, he was forced to abandon his chosen profession and immigrated to the United States in 2007. Currently, he lives and works in Washington, DC. He started writing in 2009 and has not stop ever since. He still dreams of becoming an architect but in the meantime, is pursuing his career as a visionary literary artist. This is a novel about Karma. It shows the consequence of having a past full of mistakes. Here is an extract front a dialogue: It was then that, from a wood cabinet in the corner, without making the least sound, somebody emerged. Serapio was unaware of this. He didn't realize that somebody had been there with an IPhone taking a video of what was going on. "I told you that ultimately, you wouldn't get away with it," Trisha said. "You made me beg like a miserable soul. You destroyed an important part of me, but you know what, you may be able to escape from Karma and from the natural consequences of human actions, but you can not escape from an outraged and down-and-dirty woman like me." After reading this, one might ask, "Does the Karma suit 'ya?", CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2019, 2.5, Cologne: Taschen, 2001. A Fine unmarked copy.

Should appeal to every book collector, whatever his or her particular enthusiasms. Chapters on Manuscripts; Early Printing; Bookbinding; The Bible; Early Books in Hebrew; Herbals and Colour-Plate Flower Books; English Books with Colour Plates; Books on Architecture; The New World; Private Press Books; First Editions, Fakes & Forgeries; and Great Book Collectors. "Alan G. Thomas, the eminent bookseller, here tells the story of some of the world's greatest books, their creation and survival, and the men who were responsible for them. Unlike many writers on the subject, he never loses sight of their importance as landmarks in the history of mankind. Beginning with manuscripts from their emergence in the Dark Ages down to the Renaissance, he discusses many fascinating aspects of the subject: the invention of printing - Gutenberg, Aldus and Caxton, and the beautiful early woodcut books; bookbinding, from the Gospel found in the coffin of St Cuthbert to the superb work of French craftsmen still alive today; the heroic story of early editions of the Bible, and the Bible in Hebrew, both of which were often produced under conditions of persecution; the fifteenth- century herbals, the beautiful colour- plate flower books such as Redouté and Thornton's Temple of Flora, and a charming example of the art of book production, English books with coloured aquatint plates; the great books produced by Palladio, Gibbs and Robert Adam which did so much to influence architecture in Europe and America. Alan Thomas also considers the achievements of the New World, from the letter in which Columbus announced his discovery of America to one of the finest ornithological works ever produced - Audubon's The Birds of America. In more recent times he discusses the revival of printing through the Private Press movement, why first editions are collected, and recounts an astonishing series of fakes and forgeries. Finally, he follows the history of great book collectors, from men like Sir Robert Cotton who salvaged the manuscripts scattered by the sack of the monasteries to the great American collectors - Pierpont Morgan and Henry Huntington - who established libraries fully comparable to those of the Old World. The lively text and many beautiful illustrations, chosen from the finest books ever produced, do justice to the subject as one of the most glorious achievements of Western civilization." - from the blurb.
