Metropolitan Regions, Planning and Governance
The aim of this book is to investigate contemporary processes of metropolitan change and approaches to planning and governing metropolitan regions.

In the Hour of Signs
Nineteenth-century Sudan, wracked by religious, cultural, and political differences, is brilliantly evoked in the most ambitious book yet by this talented novelist. This, Mahjoub's latest novel, centers around the Battle of Omdurman---one of the great colonial wars in Britian's attempt to gain control over the Sudan. Mahojoub brings this period to life with perception, honesty, and integrity. This is a story of fighting men, most Sudanese but some British; some showed wisdom, but for the most part they were either mad or misguided. Mahjoub writes with a profound, poetic intensity that illuminates a wide range of characters; from the cook to the Mahdi, from an Arab prostitute to the gentle Hawi, whose powerful message combines with the judgment and blindness of the other characters to bind the story together in a satisfying yet disturbing way.

They describe in detail the specific s...
Entertaining Elephants
How the lives and labors of nineteenth-century circus elephants shaped the entertainment industry. Consider the career of an enduring if controversial icon of American entertainment: the genial circus elephant. In Entertaining Elephants Susan Nance examines elephant behavior—drawing on the scientific literature of animal cognition, learning, and communications—to offer a study of elephants as actors (rather than objects) in American circus entertainment between 1800 and 1940. By developing a deeper understanding of animal behavior, Nance asserts, we can more fully explain the common history of all species. Entertaining Elephants is the first account that uses research on animal welfare, ...

Anatolia and Its Biblical Visionaries
From the land of Ararat to the Seven Churches of Revelation, Anatolia has been the setting of major biblical events. Old Testament prophets lived here: New Testament apostles worked among local communities. Thus Turkey is part of the Holy Land. Anatolia and its Biblical Visionaries presents the continuing importance of the many people who have left their marks here and the places in which they lived.
