American Geography and Geographers
The rise of American geography as a distinctive science in the United States straddles the 19th and 20th centuries, extending from the post-Civil war period to 1970. American Geography and Geographers: Toward Geographic Science is the first book to thoroughly and richly explicate this history. Its author, Geoffrey J. Martin, the foremost historian on the subject and official archivist of the Association of American Geographers, amassed a wealth of primary sources from archives worldwide, which enable him to chart the evolution of American geography with unprecedented detail and context. From the initial influence of the German school to the emergence of Geography as a unique discipline in Am...

Another Mouthful of Dust
This book contains twenty-nine articles presented to Geoffrey Martin by his friends and colleagues in celebration of the long and distinguished career of this eminent Egyptologist. The main areas of Professor Martin's scholarly interests are well represented with a wide range of studies on Early Dynastic Egypt and on the history and chronology, art and archaeology of the New Kingdom, often related to his excavations at Saqqara, Amarna, and in the Valley of the Kings. Other essays deal with Old Kingdom mastabas at Giza, Saqqara and Abusir and with the history of Egyptology and early excavators in Egypt. To reflect the recipient's broad Egyptological interests there are also studies on fragments of a shrine of Mentuhotep II from Gebelein and its geographical implications, a Middle Kingdom wooden statue from Asyut, a Twenty-second Dynasty mummy-cartonnage in the Gayer-Anderson Museum, and Thirtieth Dynasty reliefs from the Theban Precinct of Mut. A full bibliography of Geoffrey Martin's publications is also included.

Conquest
Can a woman in a wheelchair present a terrorist threat? Can a tramp be any kind of answer to it? Child of the Gulf War and a marriage gone sour, Peter Cahill thinks he has kicked the dust of Desert Storm from his heels when at last his family and friends escape to the UK and he grows up to find success as a financier in the City. Yet tragedy strikes with the death of his one true love even as a sinister figure from the past, in thrall to revenge, proves to be the parent who rejected him... Balancing action with insight, Geoff Martin has written a counter-terrorist thriller that follows the fingers of international terrorism from the intelligence world of the Middle East to the heart of London. By weaving a family feud into a clash of civilisations, Conquest: The First Horseman brings the threat of WMDs home: in somebody's suitcase.
Samuel Palmer
A facsimile edition of the visionary Romantic painter's only surviving sketchbook reflects a time when Palmer, as a nineteen-year-old in rural Kent, was endeavoring to establish his mature style, an effort that was influenced by his religious faith and his tutelage under William Blake and John Linnell.
Remembering the Holocaust
Remembering the Holocaust explains why the Holocaust has come to be considered the central event of the 20th century, and what this means. Presenting Jeffrey Alexander's controversial essay that, in the words of Geoffrey Hartman, has already become a classic in the Holocaust literature, and following up with challenging and equally provocative responses to it, this book offers a sweeping historical reconstruction of the Jewish mass murder as it evolved in the popular imagination of Western peoples, as well as an examination of its consequences. Alexander's inquiry points to a broad cultural transition that took place in Western societies after World War II: from confidence in moving past the...
