Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Five women and a lonely trailer park on the edge of the Mojave Desert. What sifts beneath the sand are mysteriesa fossilized whale, a particle accelerator, and calculated dreams of escape. Above live five unique women: Hattie, who tries to find her dead mother's face within her own; Kinni, the veiled survivor of Nagasaki; Melody, the orphan who nurses wayward children; Lani, who uses a camera to create distances; and Oxena, who can't decide if she loves or hates her husband of forty years. As the men struggle with the bloodstain of history, Azimuths emerges as a story of emotional and physical paralysis.

4to, pp.[viii], 44, with a folding engraved map of the Morea by John Seller; somewhat soiled and foxed, last line of A4v cropped; modern boards; purchase note to title-page dated 1860; stamp to title and verso of the map of the Royal Engineers Library.First edition of an important account of the Sixth OttomanVenetian War, which had begun in 1684, in the form of diplomatic letters from the Venetian (and Hanoverian) forces under the command of Francesco Morosini, Doge of Venice. Morosini (16191694), along with Otto William Köningsmarck, captured the Morea or Peloponnese over the first several years of the campaign, and by the middle of 1687, the entire peninsula, barring a small fort in the southeast, was under Venetian control, for which Morosini was granted a bronze bust in the Hall of the Great Council. Inroads were also made in Dalmatia, with the successful siege of Castelnuovo (now Herceg Novi) by Cornaro in September 1687 (described on pp.1637 here). As well as military manoeuvres, the Journal describes the conversion of mosques to churches. The work concludes with the brief Venetian occupation of Athens. During their siege of the Acropolis, terrible destruction was caused to the Parthenon, which was being used for ammunition storage by the Turks: 'The Twenty sixth, they began to play with their Bombs upon the Fortress; one of which fell among their Ammunition, and fir'd a great part of it, to the great terror of the Besieged '. The articles of capitulation follow, and a brief description of the city. ESTC R39041; Wing J1107. Language: English.…
