PAPERBACK, very good, curved slighlty backwards. remainder stripe on bottom foredge. ADELSON, ROGER, ed. . Speaking of history: conversations with historians. East Lansing: Michigan State University Press, 1997, 1st printing number line starting with 1, xxi, 263pp., . "Speaking of History is a collection of fourteen interviews with prominent historians that originally appeared in The Historian between 1990 and 1993. Each of these scholars discusses at length historical methodology, the notion of historical perspective, and ultimately how he or she interprets the past. In the process they explore convenient myths about class, culture, gender, environment, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, and the nature of work. What is of particular significance about this set of interviewees is the fact that each has approached the process of research and historical writing by applying a variety of techniques from the broad spectrum of the humanities, liberal arts, and social and natural sciences; each has avoided narrow specialization by comparing the particular contexts they study with other times and places. Collectively, they see the study of history in a global perspective. In the process, each raises questions that help to explain the past, understand the present, and anticipate the future." - CONTENTS: Walter L. Arnstein -- Thomas D.

[ ABOUT THE BOOK ] London and the Invention of the Middle East Money, Power and War 1902-1922 Book by Roger Adelson | Roger Adelson examines how the British Government, banks and influential individuals in London made decisions in the first quarter of the twentieth century that shaped the name, boundaries and future of the Middle East. The narrative centres on London's political and financial institutions, including Whitehall, Fleet Street, the City and Westminster, and considers figures such as Balfour, Churchill, Lloyd George, Curzon and Cromer. Drawing on public and private archives, the book investigates who made policy, the grounds and information behind their decisions, and their results. | It traces British priorities before and after the 1914-18 war, including the protection of the Suez Canal and Persian Gulf, concern about German expansion eastwards, the subjugation of the Turks, and the discovery of oil. Adelson also examines the post-war suppression of nationalist aspirations and the establishment of regimes aligned more closely with London than with local interests. Little-known photographs accompany the account of the people, ambitions and policies involved in the region's formation. (SP).…
