Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TSHA is pleased to announce the return of a classic in this second edition of Watt Matthews of Lambshead by renowned photographer Laura Wilson. In this new edition, Wilson adds an afterword to her original award-winning photographic essay, published in 1989 when Watt Matthews was ninety years old and the vital force behind a vast West Texas ranch. Watt was the ninth and last child of pioneering parents who had established the ranch on the banks of the Clear Fork of the Brazos in 1858, and, in the words of historian David McCullough, "created a family kingdom so large and still so true to its traditional way of life that visitors sometimes have to remind themselves that it is all real." Except for four years at Princeton, Watt spent his entire life on the ranch, which had remained its own separate world into the late twentieth century. Those days are beautifully chronicled in Wilson's photographs and, in this new edition, she brings the story of Lambshead Ranch up to the present by writing of Watt's funeral and what has happened to the ranch since Watt's death in 1997.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's purpose in writing this book is to use the Mongolian question to illuminate much larger issues of twentieth-century Asian history: how war, revolution, and great-power rivalries induced or restrained the formation of nationhood and territoriality. He thus continues the argument he made in Frontier Passages that on its way to building a communist state, the CCP was confronted by a series of fundamental issues pertinent to China's transition to nation-statehood. The book's focus is on the Mongolian question, which ran through Chinese politics in the first half of the twentieth century. Between the Revolution of 1911 and the Communists' triumph in 1949, the course of the Mongolian question best illustrates the genesis, clashes, and convergence of Chinese and Mongolian national identities and geopolitical visions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As he came closer to the porch, I found it hard to speak. His sandy-colored hair was more sun streaked. His freckled face more tanned and defined. His green eyes more sparkling and pronounced. All the baseball playing and exercise, with another year's age, had made for muscled arms and legs. He was taller—much taller...Life was difficult for Jessica 'Ducky' Pearman. Her father died when she was only five. As the fourth oldest of five children, she was thrilled to visit New River over the summers by herself. New River summers meant smelling crab apples and Uncle Art's tobacco on the wraparound porch, playing baseball, and feasting on Aunt May's cooking. But more than anything, those summers meant falling in love with Edwin James Jennings, also known as 'Dubs.' Jessica was thrilled when Edwin asked her to his senior prom. She anxiously awaited his letter with more details, but the letter never came. Heartbroken, she moved on to a new boyfriend, trying to get Edwin out of her mind but never quite succeeding. Four years later, she returned to New River only to discover Edwin's wedding was scheduled for the next weekend. Still reeling from the news, she opened the door to find Edwin staring up at her with hope in his eyes. Pull up a chair, enjoy a big slice of Aunt May's pie, and find out if happy endings exist inNew River Summers.

Book excerpt: Photography was still in its infancy when the Civil War broke out in 1861, yet one young man, Mathew B. Brady, had the vision to create a detailed photographic record of the conflict, which nobody imagined would last for more than a few months. Brady and his associate photographers made literally thousands of images, for the most part now in the care of the Library of Congress. This book is intended as a tribute to the talented, hardy, and ardent photographers, reproducing a selection of their works--blemishes and all--which are now recognized as the first in depth photo documentation of warfare.

Book excerpt: The creation of the “Greek style” and its pervasive impact in England and on the Continent during the third quarter of the eighteenth century was largely due to James Stuart’s landmark multi-volume publication Antiquities of Athens, coauthored with Nicholas Revett. Stuart, subsequently known as “Athenian” Stuart, went on to a highly influential career that spanned the fields of architecture, interior decoration, furnishings, sculpture, and metalwork. This lavishly illustrated book is the first to examine Stuart’s multi-dimensional career and the full scope of his contributions as designer, artist, and tastemaker. An international team of scholars consider each area of Stuart’s work, his early training, interest in archaeology, unique network of patrons, poor record for completing projects, and legacy. With illustrations and discussion of the stunning neo-classical furnishings he created at Spencer House, the Greek Doric Temple at Hagley, and numerous other remarkable projects, the book brings Stuart’s achievements to light more clearly than ever before.
