Описание: The Habsburg Monarchy has received much historiographical attention since 1945. Yet the military aspects of Austria's emergence as a European great power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have remained obscure. This book shows that force of arms and the instruments of the early modern state were just as important as its marriage policy in creating and holding together the Habsburg Monarchy.
Drawing on an impressive up-to-date bibliography as well as on original archival research, this survey is the first to put Vienna's military back at the centre stage of early modern Austrian history.

Описание: This book discusses the political and economic history of the port of Bushehr, which by the end of the eighteenth century had become the gateway to southern Persia (Iran). It offers a detailed analysis of Bushehrs demography, industry, health care, education, and standard of living; as well as its trade, and how politics impacted its well-being. Throughout this period Bushehr had to ward off the growing competition from other Persian Gulf ports such as Bandar Abbas. It did so successfully, enjoying growing trade and wealth, despite internal and external political problems. Because of its important commercial position Bushehr was also twice attacked and occupied by the British (1856, 1915-18). What brought the port city down finally, however, was not the British attacks and occupations, nor the occupation and looting of the city by Tangestani tribesmen (purported protectors of the constitution) in 1909; it was the expansion of the ports, roads, and railroads of the oil-rich province of Khuzestan. This caused economic decline for Bushehr, which resulted in a loss of trade and much of its population between 1920 and 1940. The World War II years did not bring much improvement to its situation either. The economic malaise contributed to a tribal uprising in Fars in 1946, in which Bushehr played an important role. However, the uprising failed, and as such was but a last spasm of a bygone era.

Описание: Ever since Protestant missionaries from the United States first reached Hawai'i in 1820, they have inspired conflicting passions. In evangelical circles, the missionaries are praised for christianizing Hawai'i, transforming Hawaiian into a written language, and inoculating the islanders against smallpox. But this celebratory assessment is rejected by modern-day Hawaiian nationalists, who excoriate the missionaries as advance agents of U.S. imperialism.In this biography of pioneer missionaries Peter and Fanny Gulick, Clifford Putney offers a balanced view of their contributions. He says the nationalists are right to credit the missionaries with drawing Hawai'i into America's political orbit, but argues that the missionary enterprise helped in some ways to preserve key elements of Hawaiian culture.Based primarily on letters, journals, and other archival materials, Putney's book provides readers with a detailed portrait of the lives of Peter and Fanny Gulick. Inspired by America's Second Great Awakening to spread the Gospel overseas, the Gulicks voyaged to Hawai'i in 1828 and lived there for the next forty-six years, actively proselytizing and working to change the islands. On Kaua'i, they helped to ensure the success of Hawai'i's first sugar plantation and acquainted Hawaiians with inventions such as the wagon. On Moloka'i (later the site of a leper colony) the couple struggled merely to survive. And on O'ahu, they took up ranching and helped to found Punahou School, the alma mater of President Barack Obama.While laboring in Hawai'i, the Gulicks interacted with kings, queens, and other historically important figures, and Putney chronicles those relationships. He also explores issues of race and gender, and sheds new light on the democratization of government, the spread of capitalism, and the privatization of land. From these last two developments, a number of missionaries grew immensely rich, but the Gulicks did not, and neither did their descendants. A group that includes influential missionaries, educators, and physical fitness experts, the descendants of Peter and Fanny have had numerous books written about them, but Putney is the first to write extensively about the progenitors of the Gulick clan.

The Tōkaidō meisho zue (1797) on the 53 stations of the Tōkaidō Road is one of the most important Japanese illustrated woodblock printed books.
It is a forerunner for the many Tōkaidō series of colored prints of the ukiyp-e genre like the ones by Hokusai and Hiroshige a.o.
The intention of publishing this is to give lovers of Japanese prints some background material. It may also be used as a coloring book although there is a lot of text.
The Meisho zue printed books' illustrations are originally in black and white and are therefore perfect for coloring exercise and also for the study of landscape design.
The original size was hanshibon, c. 26 x 18.5 cms / 10.25in X 7in.
This volume is vol 4 of six, which were each enveloped in a rice colored folder, Chinese style, and the pages stiched together. The authors hope to be able to publish the rest in the series as well as some other printed books series.
For the reader wishing more information the authors refer to their book Hokusai 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which is available in pocket version, hard cover and large format.
The meisho zue (名 所 図 会?, literally "illustrated books of famous views") are illustrated books describing famous places (the meisho) of Japan during the second half of the Edo period, late 18th and first half of the nineteenth century. The Edo period itself is usually given as c. 1600 to 1868. The places are described there in the text through their history, the related legends, the sites to visit, as well as by the illustration which offers a faithful overview of the topology. These illustrated books are characterized by the importance of image and the desire for simplicity which make them objects intended for the greatest number of people.
The black and white meisho zue are fascinating in themselves, but they were also direct sources for the ukiyo-e artists Hokusai and Hiroshige, who had not visited all the sites they made colored prints about.
Meisho originally meant "a place with poetical association" or "a place famed in poetry". The characters used to write the word also read nadokoro. This refers to topics accepted in waka.
In the Muromachi Period (1392 - 1573) meisho started to change meaning. Non traditional waka subjects became meisho - historical spots, flourishing places, famed or notorious places, and the word came to mean "places which attract mass interest".
By mid Edo period the original meaning was completely lost. Kunisada's Edo meisho zue, .
Meisho had been reserved for the elite who could read classical Chinese and write poems. Now the "uneducated" classes grew an interest in meisho, and it passed into the increasingly prosperous lower classes which also acquired a high degree of literacy, up to 80 pct with city dwelling groups and farmers, see Yoshitaki, Kunikazu and Nansuitei Yoshiyuki 100 Views of Osaka, ISBN 9781649454539 and Hiroshige Famous Places of Naniwa (Osaka) ISBN 9781649454515.

Описание: This book critically engages with the study of theatre and performance in colonial India, and relates it with colonial (and postcolonial) discussions on experience, freedom, institution-building, modernity, nation/subject not only as concepts but also as philosophical queries. It opens up with the discourse around ‘Indian theatre’ that was started by the orientalists in the late 18th century, and which continued till much later. The study specifically focuses on the two major urban centres of colonial India: Bombay and Calcutta of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It discusses different cultural practices in colonial India, including the initiation of ‘Indian theatre’ practices, which resulted in many forms of colonial-native ‘theatre’ by the 19th century; the challenges to this dominant discourse from the ‘swadeshi jatra’ (national jatra/theatre) in Bengal, which drew upon earlier folk and religious traditions and was used as a tool by the nationalist movement; and the Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA) that functioned from Bombay around the 1940s, which focused on the creation of one national subject – that of the ‘Indian’. The author contextualizes the relevance of the concept of ‘Indian theatre’ in today’s political atmosphere. She also critically analyses the post-Independence Drama Seminar organized by the Sangeet Natak Akademi in 1956 and its relevance to the subsequent organization of ‘Indian theatre’. Many theatre personalities who emerged as faces of smaller theatre committees were part of the seminar which envisioned a national cultural body. This book is an important contribution to the field and is of interest to researchers and students of cultural studies, especially Theatre and Performance Studies, and South Asian Studies.
