Описание: Vivant Denon (1747-1825), a dilettante and diplomat under the Ancien Regime, survived the Revolution and accompanied Napoleon`s army to Egypt. The publication in 1802 of this lively, illustrated three-volume account (translated a year later) is regarded as the chief stimulus for the so-called `Egyptian Revival` style of architecture and interior design.

Описание: This pioneering account, published in 1857-1858, was a foundational text in the study of African history and ethnography. Barth set out to `represent the tribes and nations ... in their historical and ethnographical relation to the rest of mankind`. Cited by Darwin, it is still regarded as an important source.

Описание: The surgeon William Ainsworth (1807–96) acted as the geologist of the 1835 Euphrates Expedition, his account of which is also reissued in this series. Great interest was aroused by the scientific and archaeological findings of that journey, and the Royal Geographical Society helped to fund a further expedition, ostensibly to make contact with the Nestorian Christians of the region, but covertly to make further mineralogical investigations. Ainsworth was the leader of the expedition, and his two-volume account was published in 1842. Starting from Istanbul in 1839, he took a route through Asia Minor, northern Syria, Kurdistan, Persia and Armenia, returning to Istanbul in 1840. The expedition was not regarded as a success, as Ainsworth had massively overspent the budget originally allotted by the sponsors, and his secret activities were discovered by the Ottoman authorities, but the work remains a vivid account of the area.
