Art lovers around the world recall with delight Mucha's wonderful portraits of Sarah Bernhardt. Mucha single-handedly revolutionized French poster art at the turn of the century with art nouveau advertisements for Moet & Chandon, Job, Nestle's, Benedictine brandy and "the flower of the nineties"; Monaco Monte-Carlo. Mucha's work was an inspiration to architects and designers who adapted his style of sinuous flowers and plant motifs for designing buildings and furniture. Mucha's harmonious designs, sensitive colors and superb draughtmanship have earned him the reputation as one of the outstanding and influential graphic artists of Europe. This stunning and colorful book is the most accurate record of Mucha's work available. Included are 163 full-color plates, some appearing here for the first time since their original publication. A complete catalog section contains 525 detailed and illustrated entries and an extensive bibliography of books, periodicals and exhibition catalogs. Marina Henderson's introduction, "Women and Flowers," and Dr. Anna Dvorak's epilogue, "Illustrations for Books and Periodicals," describe with insight Mucha's life, his achievements and his philosophy. |

This is the absorbing story of a quixotic crusade by a group of Russian émigrés to take over the Soviet Union, dislodge its Communist rulers, and establish a fascist state there. Rich in irony, humor, and not a little pathos, The Russian Fascists provides the first full account of this small but dynamic element within the Russian emigration. Cast out by the Revolution and now powerless, these exiles tried to compensate for their political impotence by engaging in desperate fantasies. Eager to reestablish themselves in their homeland , they sought collaboration with anyone who catered to their illusions--Chinese warlords, Japanese generals, Nazi satraps and eventually, Josef Stalin.... |

The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy, and naval tactics were evolving. The British Royal Navy emerged triumphant as the leading world sea power, and the epitome of Britannic naval strength was the Ship-of-the-Line. These 'wooden walls' were more than merely floating gun batteries: they contained a crew of up to 800 men, and often had to remain at sea for extended periods. This book offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the largest man-made structures produced in the pre-Industrial era. |

Alan Moorehead's classic bestseller The White Nile chronicles the daring exploration of the Nile River in the second half of the nineteenth century, which was at that time the most mysterious and impenetrable region on earth. Capturing in breathtaking prose the larger-than-life personalities of such notable figures as Stanley, Livingstone, Burton and many others, The White Nile is a seminal work in tales of discovery and escapade, filled with historical detail and compelling stories of heroism and drama. The second half is about General Gordon's defense of Khartoum against the Muslim revolt led by the Mahdi. |

This is a translation of Paris-Sorbonne history professor André Corvisier's Armées et sociétés en Europe de 1497 à 1789. This book demonstrates the close and complex relationship between a society and its army. Just as European society changed greatly between 1494 and 1789, a fundamental change took place in the role of the military. During the ancien regime, the professional use of arms evolved from a private to a public institution and the military became the essential instrument of state power. As Corvisier shows, warfare-long the sole preserve of the nobility-soon transcended the interests of a single class. He concludes that a military mentality was more pervasive in early modern Europe than has been assumed. |

The German 88 mm was by far the most famous and versatile artillery weapon of World War II. It was first used as an anti-aircraft weapon by the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War and saw further service in the German invasions of Poland and France, where it was first used in its anti-tank role. This role was particularly successful and the 88 became feared by tank crews from North Africa to Russia. Apart from these two main roles the 88 mm was used as the main weapon on late-war German tanks, as a self-propelled gun, and even as an aerial weapon. This book covers all these variants, explaining their design, development and operational use. |

In Band 11 (»Die K-Kreuzer I«) war bereits dargelegt worden, daß die schiffbaulichen Qualitäten dieser Kreuzerserie — besonders was die Festigkeit ihrer Verbände anging — wegen der zwangsläufig allzu knapp bemessenen Materialstärken sehr zu wünschen übrig ließen. Dies hatte sich besonders auf der KARLSRUHE gezeigt, als sie während einer Auslandsreise im Frühjahr 1934 im Pazifik in einen schweren Sturm geraten war, der so erhebliche Schäden — auch am Schiffskörper — verursacht hatte, daß unprogrammäßig San Diego an der US-Westküste zu Notreparaturen angelaufen werden mußte. |

Mercer Mayer is the author-illustrator of many outstanding and well-loved children's books. What Do You Do with a Kangaroo? is the winner of the Society of Illustrators Annual National Exhibit Citation of Merit. In it, incidents between a girl and wild animals are enjoyably nonsensical and the illustrations are very funny indeed. |
