Histoire & Collection, 2009. New book, 192 pages, 650 photos. During the preparation of the Normandy Invasion, the American high command realized soon enough that the 8th Air Force, which was wholly committed to strategic bombing, could not undertake the close support of ground units in this major offensive. The keystone of operation 'Overlord' would indeed be mastery of the skies: tactical aviation had to be able to intervene quickly and precisely, and to operate from bases on the Continent. The heavy bombers, as they were dependent on large and permanent airfields, could not be called upon for such tasks. The concept of on-call tactical air support was therefore paramount in the Overlord plans and the 9th Air Force was transferred to England for this purpose. The hundreds of hitherto unpublished photos copied out from the pilots and crews’ albums, and the full-color reconstructions of their flying gear are a unique testimony to the day to day life of 9th Air Force personnel and the missions of combat crews..

Exhibition catalogue. // Yannis Moralis (1916-2009), one of the most distinguished twentieth-century Greek artists, articulated his artistic discourse through a myriad of painted works, but also challenged himself creatively with various forays into the arts of engraving, set design and microsculpture, as well as various applications and architecture. This is the first full presentation of Yannis Moralis’ architectural creations in print. The texts that accompany approximately 200 works in the catalogue constitute personal comments and testimony by the artist himself. Includes an introductory text by Fanny-Maria Tsigakou, the catalogue editor; previously unpublished essays by Spyros Kontaratos and Thymios Papayiannis; and previously published pieces by Alexandros Xydis, Marinos Kalligas and Nikos Papadakis, who focus on the creative contribution Yannis Moralis made to architecture, as well as on focusing on expanding a very fertile field of collaboration between architects and artists. Informative writings combined with the variety of illustrations add up to a unique document for students of the architectural oeuvre of this major Greek artist. // El catalogo que acompana a la exposicion del mismo titulo, celebrada en el Museo Benaki (10 de febrero - 30 de abril de 2011).

Los ilustrativos textos en conjuncion con la variedad del material iconogafico, constituyen un archivo excepcional para los estudiosos de la obra arquitectonica del gran artista griego., Benaki Museum 2011, 6, Aryan Books International, 2010. First edition. Hardcover. New. 23 x 29 cm. The archaeological site of Sanghol situated 40 kilometres from Chandigarh on the National Highway to Ludhiana is exceptional in many ways. One of the very few sites extensively excavated in post-Independence Punjab, it was settled as early as the second millennium bc and has continued in occupation well into the present. The cultural deposit is rich and varied, especially in its diverse range of coins, seals and sealings, and this marks Sanghol out from other contemporary settlements. The discovery of exquisitely sculpted pillars of a stone railing carefully buried in the vicinity of a Buddhist stupa brought Sanghol into the limelight in 1985 and large-scale excavations were undertaken. Remains of Buddhist monasteries and stupas have been preserved and stand testimony to the flourishing nature of religious culture in the area. Based on unpublished data, this edited volume places the finds from Sanghol in the wider context of the archaeology of Punjab. It traces the history of archaeology in the region from the first excavation in 1830 in undivided Punjab during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1801-1839) at the Buddhist stupa at Manikyala, located north-west of Rawalpindi. Interest in the archaeology of Punjab has changed over time from a fascination for Alexander the Great and his Indian campaign in the nineteenth century, to the unchecked collection of antiquities, and to large-scale excavations at Taxila, leading finally to the establishment of museums in pre- and post-Partition Punjab to house the finds. Changes in the research agenda of archaeologists was matched by transformation of the landscape as a result of the large-scale digging of canals in the early twentieth century and widespread agricultural operations in post-Independence Punjab. Within this wider canvas, the focus of the volume, however, remains on an in-depth analysis of the archaeology of Sanghol and its significance in the history of Punjab.

About the book: Everyone knows the name of Anne Frank but few people remember anything about the people who sheltered her. Who were the rescuers and what motivated them to risk their lives for persecuted Jews? Clearly such people deserve to be remembered and honored. And clearly an understanding of their motivations may help us cultivate such behavior in our own day.This book focuses on such "righteous Christians." Tec, herself a Holocaust survivor helped by Christians, vividly recreates through hundreds of cases what it was like to pass and hide among Christians and what it was like to rescue Jews. Limiting her compass to Poland, where anti-Semitism was particularly extreme, the author interviewed dozens of people now living in many lands and also examined a vast array of published accounts and unpublished testimonies yielding case histories of over 500 Polish helpers. As the book preserves for posterity the heroism of such people as Celka, the impoverished governess, and her paralyzed father, who took into their one-room apartment a Jewish child, refused to baptize her without her family's permission, and even fed her before they themselves ate, or Dr. Felix Kabus, who developed and frequently performed an operation that camouflaged circumcision, or the famous anti-Semitic author who wrote publicly about what was happening to the Jews, the book fills a significant gap in our knowledge of the Holocaust.Considering the influence of such factors as class, education, religion, political persuasion, and friendship between the victims and rescuers, Tec finds only two common characteristics among this incredibly diverse group: an overpowering need to help others under any circumstances and an intense individualism. The rescuers were "individuals who did not rely on the opinions of others." Tec writes.About the Author: Nechama Tec, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut, is also the author of Dry Tears.
