Iranian Tigers at War: Northrop F-5A/B, F-5E/F and Sub-Variants in Iranian Service since 1966
ISBN: 9781910294130 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The development of the F-5 lightweight supersonic fighter in the mid 1950s was almost a gamble for the Northrop Corporation, but ultimately resulted in one of most commercially successful combat aircraft in modern history.

The Persian Novel: Ideology, Fiction and Form in the Periphery
ISBN: 9789042038844 / Angielski / Miękka / 10 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many of the world's greatest novels have been translated into Persian. The Persian novel tradition also claims its masters, but there is no significant trace of Persian novels in the international literary market or critical discussions - no Iranian novelist has ever been awarded a significant literary prize and, except in orientalist communities, Iranian novelists are almost completely unknown in the outside world. Any anthology of World Literature gives evidence of this: despite novels being published for more than a century, it is still classical literature that represents Iran. What...

ISBN: 9781138825581 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

He engages these critical issues through a case study of the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, looking at both US legacy media coverage of the protests as well as activists' use of social media. Through qualitative... In this monograph, Chris Featherman adopts a discourse analytical approach to explore the ways in which social movement ideologies and identities a... |

Portraiture in South Asia Since the Mughals: Art, Representation and History
ISBN: 9781780767246 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deriving from Persian artistic techniques, Mughal portraiture reached its apogee during the reigns of the great Mughal emperor-patrons Akbar, Shah Jahan and Jahangir. Much of the art produced in this period was commissioned for political reasons, and art was one method of ensuring power, increasing prestige and sending messages to the kingdom and rival dynasties. Western portraiture has become an incredibly important source of historical study because of what it can tell us about the tastes, rules, dress, politics and identity of periods and rulers. One of the reasons this hasn't quite...

World War I in Mesopotamia: The British and the Ottomans in Iraq
ISBN: 9781784531461 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Mesopotamian campaign during World War I was a critical moment in Britain s position in the Middle East. With British and British Indian troops fighting in places which have become well-known in the wake of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, such as Basra, the campaign led to the establishment of the British Mandate in Iraq in 1921. Nadia Atia believes that in order to fully understand Britain s policies in creating the nascent state of Iraq, we must first look at how the war shaped Britons conceptions of the region. Atia does this through a cultural and military history of the changing British...
