Giovanni Pietro Campana (1808-1880)
Campana, a businessman from Rome, formed one of the most important private collections of antiquities of the 19th century, yet it has been little studied. This thesis examines Campana's private life, his role as patron of the arts, archaeologist and collector and his trial for fraud, ending in exile. Much of the volume aims to reconstruct the collection, sold off by the papacy, that included Etruscan, Greek and Roman ceramics, jewellery, coins, glass, paintings, sculptures and medieval and Renaissance art. The list of objects, many of which are illustrated, includes current locations. This is the same book as BAR S971 (2001), but in hardback with a colour jacket.

A Dictionary of International Affairs
First published in 1946, A Dictionary of International Affairs is virtually an encyclopaedia. This highly useful reference work is indispensable to all who desire to be well-informed about the world in which they live. The scope of this book is unusually wide. It deals with such varied subjects of the Chaco Dispute, Ogpu, Syndicalism, Freedom of the Seas, Balfour Declaration, etc. It also contains statistics about minerals, agricultural produce, and industrial products. In addition, it provides essential information about erstwhile colonies, islands, and nations. It brings together – in a precise style and compact form – a vast amount of basic and interesting information on almost every conceivable aspect of international affairs. Chief emphasis is given to developments since World War I – particularly to those agreements, concepts, agencies, problems, areas and resources which are of continuing importance.

The History of the Normans
The Norman conquest of southern Italy and Sicily was one of the most dramatic events of the eleventh century. To understand the magnitude of the Normans' achievement, and especially those of Robert Guiscard and Richard of Aversa, it is essential to know something of the world in which they lived and the manner in which they were able to create a Norman state in territories with a very different cultural tradition.
