by Buccleuch, Richard    Von Der Schulenburg, Fritz    Scott, John
(Hardcover - English - 9780995756687)
In this sumptuous portrait of the house known as 'the English Versailles', the Duke of Buccleuch sets the scene with a history of his ancestors, the Montagus of Boughton, who acquired the manor in Northamptonshire in the reign of Henry VIII. br br Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu (1638-1709), Charles II's envoy to Louis XIV, transformed Boughton into a palatial homage to French culture.

Don McCullin in Anatolia: Roman Roads: A Journey Across Asia Minor
by McCullin, Don    Rogerson, Barnaby   
(Hardcover - English - 9780995756670)
In Anatolia is Don McCullin's masterful observation of the Roman monuments that still adorn the mountains, valleys and coast of western Turkey. It is a meditation on landscape, of the effects of light on ancient stone, of the way that clouds animate the past, and that ever elusive spirit of place. br br This book is also an investigation into the unifying forms of an urban, artistic civilization that once stretched from the borders of Scotland to the banks of the Euphrates, from the sands of the Sahara to the river Danube. On one hand it can be assessed as a brutal Empire based on conquest, slavery and public executions, but it yet upheld a universal literat ..

Drumlanrig: The Castle, Its People and Its Paintings
by Buccleuch, Richard    Von Der Schulenburg, Fritz    Scott, John Montagu Douglas
(Hardcover - English - 9780995756694)
With its picturesque domes, walls of pale pink sandstone and splendid Dumfriesshire setting, Drumlanrig is one of Scotland's most romantic castles, its story entwined with that of the country itself. Today's castle was superimposed on a medieval Douglas stronghold by the 1st Duke of Queensberry and took a decade to build. Finished in 1689, its North Front is a stunning stage set of dressed stone, classical pilasters and carvings of swags, scrolls and spooky faces. The 2nd Duke, known as 'The Union Duke' for his role in the 1707 Act of Union, added the great oak staircase, while his son created the vast gardens. The 4th Duke, a rakish cousin known as 'Old Q', lef ..

The Adventure of the Second Wife: The Strange Case of Abdülahamid and Sherlock Holmes
by Finkel, Andrew       
(Hardcover - English - 9780995756656)
What did Arthur Conan Doyle mean by that now infamous remark, uttered towards the very end of his life, that the only Sherlock Holmes story with the power to intrigue him was 'The Adventure of the Second Wife'? For there was no such story. br br It falls to an unlikely pair - a London doctor and a literature professor from Istanbul - to unravel the clues to this puzzling mystery, clues that lie buried in the stories of their own families and lead back to the fin-de-siècle court of Abdülhamid II, the last Ottoman ruler to command the world stage. br br Historians write of the Sultan's addiction to Sherlock Holmes. He would even have the stories read to him ..

Stamboul Ghosts: A Stroll Through Bohemian Istanbul
by Freely, John    Finkel, Andrew    Freely, Maureen
(Hardcover - English - 9780956594884)
The Irish-American physicist, academic and traveler John Freely wrote more than sixty lively books on travel, history and science before he died in 2017, aged 90. But It was Istanbul, where he emigrated with his family in 1960 to take up a post teaching physics at the American Robert College, that turned him into a writer. His first book, Strolling Through Istanbul, written with his fellow academic Hilary Sumner-Boyd, was an instant success when it was published in 1972 and has never been out of print since. With the exception of Oğuz, so thin that he was known as The Ghost because he barely cast a shadow, everyone in John Freely's rumbustious memoir, incl ..

Ziyaret Tepe: Exploring the Anatolian Frontier of the Assyrian Empire
by Matney, Timothy    Macginnis, John    Wicke, Dirk
(Paperback - English - 9780956594891)
Ziyaret Tepe, the ancient city of Tushan, was a provincial capital of the Assyrian Empire, in its day the greatest the world had ever seen. The excavations captured in this innovative book - the governor's palace, military barracks and mansions of the rich - chart the empire's history from its expansion in the early 9th century BC to its dramatic fall three centuries later, providing insights into the daily lives of both the commoners and Assyrian elites who inhabited this ancient frontier city. br Fieldwork over 18 seasons uncovered areas of both the lower town and the great mound of Ziyaret Tepe which looms 22 metres above it, a record of thousands of years of ..

by Daunt, Patricia       
(Hardcover - English - 9780995756601)

The Land of the Anka Bird: A Journey Through the Turkic Heartlands
by Eden, Caroline    Çağatay, Ergun   
(Paperback - English - 9780995756625)
The Land of the Anka Bird: A Journey Through the Turkic Heartland is a reflective visual essay introducing the powerful photographs of Ergun ağatay. The book explores the cultural landscape and geography of the vast Turkic-speaking lands, from the mercantile cities of Uzbekistan to little-explored pockets of the Baltic. It is clear that while divided by distance, the diverse Turkic share far more than a linguistic heritage. Deep cultural connections highlight great mobility across many landscapes and centuries. Spanning both the nomadic and settled worlds, this book challenges assumptions about an intriguing swathe of our planet while celebrating its wild ..

Bowhill: The House, Its People and Its Paintings
by Buccleuch, Richard    Von Der Schulenburg, Fritz   
(Paperback - English - 9780995756618)
Bowhill, in the Scottish Borders, started life as a modest Georgian villa, but over generations was transformed into a huge mansion. The art collection was consolidated when Henry, the enlightened 3rd Duke of Buccleuch, and his wife, Elizabeth, united the three families of Montagu, Douglas and Scott circa 1800. The exterior of austere greywacke stone belies rich interiors filled with great treasures - the 4th Duke's Library, with its views of the Ettrick Valley so beloved of his friend Sir Walter Scott, the damask Drawing Room with its masterpieces by Claude and Ruysdael, the Boudoir and its Chinese wallpaper, the Dining Room with its Canaletto of the Thames at ..

Palmyra 1885: The Wolfe Expedition and the Photographs of John Henry Haynes
by Anderson, Benjamin    Ousterhout, Robert G.   
(Paperback - English - 9780956594877)
European adventurers began exploring Palmyra's priceless Roman ruins in the 17th century, but it wasn't until the advent of photography that the public became aware of its scale and majesty. In 1885, the sight of Palmyra astounded members of the Wolfe Expedition as they journeyed home from Mesopotamia. The group's photographer, John Henry Haynes, documented the monumental temples, tombs and colonnades in more than a hundred invaluable images. br Since then, Haynes and his work have largely been forgotten, and the forces of the self-styled Islamic State have destroyed the key monuments of this world-renowned site, including the glorious Temple of Bel. Haynes's im ..

John Henry Haynes: A Photographer and Archaeologist in the Ottoman Empire 1881-1900 (2nd Edition)
by Ousterhout, Robert G.       
(Paperback - English - 9780956594860)
Virtually unknown today, John Henry Haynes (1849-1910) may be regarded as the father of American archaeological photography. br His travels took him from Athens to Istanbul and on to Mesopotamia. In this landmark study, now revised with additional unpublished photographs published for the first time, Robert G. Ousterhout assesses his unique blend of artistry and documentation. br Although he had scant academic credentials and just a short training in 'aesthetic' photography, John Henry Haynes broke new ground. In 1900 he uncovered an astounding cache of 23,000 cuneiform tablets that told us much of what we know about the Sumerian literary tradition. And with hi ..
