Beirut, Lebanon: Maktabat Lubnan, 2008 New. 243 pp. This is the most useful, comprehensive verb conjugation reference available for students learning Arabic. The text is in Arabic (including all explanatory material--but a few moments of orientation should be sufficient for most students to understand how the book is laid out), but unlike other verb conjugation aides (for example, the popular but poorly organized "201 Arabic Verbs" by Scheindlin), this book provides conjugations in the standard "huwa, huma, hum . . ." order for all forms (I-XIV; includes defective forms). Each sample conjugated verb (one per page) provides the full active and passive forms of the past and present, the imperative forms, the masdar (gerund), and the active and passive participles. The detailed index lists hundreds of the most commonly-used verbs in Arabic (English definitions, however, are NOT provided) and refers the reader to the chart containing the appropriate conjugation paradigm (concise finding aides for verb forms are also provided in the beginning). The printing is very clear and dark, and columns in the charts alternate between black (active forms) and blue (passive forms) for clarity. Published in a conveniently sized, sturdy hardcover..

Text in German (extensive introduction [pp. 1-119] and commentary [pp. 302-344]); documents in transliterated Middle Hittite (pp. 120-301); detailed indices (pp. 345-465). The archaeological site known as Masat-Höyük is located in the ancient northern Hittite territory bordering the Black Sea territory of the Hittite's great enemy, the Kaska.

Dated to approximately 1400 BC in the Hittite period (a period of intense struggle between the Kaska peoples and Hittites), these texts reveal close communication with the Hittite Kings of Hattusha and describe various administrative, military and economic affairs.

Dual text in German and Turkish (no other excavation reports in this series were published). This "preliminary report" summarizes the findings of the first three excavation seasons (1947-1948) under the leadership of the German philologist and archaeologist, Helmuth T. Bossert, at Karatepe, a late Hittite (8th century B.C.) fortress in south-central Anatolia. These exavations yielded the famous bilingual inscriptions in Phoenician script and Hittite/Luwian hieroglyphics which greatly assisted philologists in understanding the Hittite hieroglyphic script and language. The plates provide photographic views of the excavation work, sculptural reliefs, and the inscriptions; site plans; and transcriptions of the Phoenician and Hittite texts. CONTENTS: Einleitung.

Berkeley, CA: University of California, 1999 xi, 335 pp. Maps, footnotes, bibliography, index. In this book, the author brings a new and distinctive perspective to the perennially fascinating topic of nationalism in the Arab Middle East. Unlike previous historians who have focused on the activities and ideas of a small group of elites, the author details the role played by non-elites in nationalist politics during the early part of the twentieth century. Drawing from previously untapped sources, Gelvin documents the appearance of a new form of political organization--the popular committee--that sprang up in cities and villages throughout greater Syria in the immediate aftermath of the First World War. These committees empowered a new type of nationalist leadership, made nationalist politics a mass phenomenon for the first time, and articulated a view of nation and nationalism that continues to inform the politics of the region today. The author does more than recount an episode in the history of nationalism in the Arab Middle East. His examination of leaflets, graffiti, speeches, rumors, and editorials offers fresh insights into the symbolic construction of national communities. His analysis of ceremonies--national celebrations, demonstrations, theater--contributes to our understanding of the emergence of mass politics. By situating his study within a broader historical context, Gelvin has written a book that will be of interest to all who wish to understand nationalism in the region and beyond.

Ankara, Turkey: Türk Tarih Kurumu Basimevi [Turkish Historical Society Printing House], 1989 xiii, 276 pp. Footnotes, bibliography, index, 3 maps. Only published in paperback. An important book for anyone seriously interested in Turkmen history, art, and culture. The only such detailed history in English, this is a scholarly study of Turkmen history during the pivotal nineteenth century, including the Anglo-Russian rivalry in Central Asia and its impact on the Turkmen tribes. The work begins with the study of Turkmenia, its country, and people, and then discusses the early history of the Turkmen people up to 1800 in order to understand their position in the nineteenth century. The economic, social, and political structures of the Turkmen society, in particular their traditional unwritten law (Tore), are examined in detail in order to understand how the Turkmens were able to survive as a small nation. Then, the struggle of the Turkmens for independence against the Khivan and Persian yoke from the beginning of the nineteenth century up to 1860, the formation of a union among themselves, and their relations with the neighbouring nations are studied in detail. The independence of the Turkmens, however, was threatened by the rivalry between Great Britain and Russia in Central Asia. Because of this rivalry, the Russians, who had already conquered the Khanates of Central Asia, began to prepare for the conquest of Turkmenia in order to place themselves in an advantageous position in Central Asia against British India, in case of conflict with Britain. The rest of the work is a detailed study of the Turkmens and their remarkable resistance against the Russian invasion from 1869 to 1885. CONDITION: Sewn binding.
