No author is indicated, but it includes an open letter from USAID Yemen's Director James Megellas, addressed to Prospective Employees. The US had opened its Legation in Taiz in May 1959, followed by an International Cooperation Administration Representative's office later that year. The ICA office became a USAID Mission in May 1962 in line with the US Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and the Legation was raised to the status of Embassy in Feb 1963. Megellas (1917-2020) was a highly decorated WW2 hero, who served with USAID for 18 years in Yemen, Panama and Vietnam. With USAID's Mission still in its infancy, this was prepared to familiarise new arrivals with a general description of the country, of the post, housing, food and clothing, recreation and social life, travel and transport, communications, health conditions, protocol, and miscellaneous items (servants, churches, finances etc). The Introduction evokes curiosity, stating "Yemen is a land of striking vistas and fascinating contrasts; until quite recently the country maintained a position of deliberate isolation from the rest of the world, and many of its customs and practices were tied to those of the 13th Century". Director Megellas' warmly enthusiastic letter, opening "Assalam Aleikum - Ahlan wa Sahlan!", promises that Yemen "presents a tremendous opportunity" for the dedicated and adventurous. He openly addresses the Cold War angle, and the need to promote development based on Western ideology: the aim is "to provide the Yemeni both directly through our program and by example, an opportunity for economic freedom on a self-help basis. It must be noted that the Communist Bloc has been active with an economic assistance program in Yemen for about three years longer than the Free World, and the size of their program has been estimated to be roughly three times as large as ours" (pp. xiii-xiv). The post was centred in Taiz, and Part II includes a description of the city - "dramatic in setting and appearance ", "a picturesque Arab town built within walls and has many mosques and minarets" - and how best to get there via Asmara by air. The Programs to which the newcomers would have been attached are described, along with progress to date, including: Roads (Mocha to Sanaa via Taiz and Ibb); Water Supply and Environmental Sanitation for Taiz; Water Development and Conservation (studying some of Yemen's major wadis before embarking on their development); Special Scholarships (Lebanon) ("for a limited number of Yemeni boys"); and the Taiz (Yemen) American Community School (pp37-41). The photos give a flavour of the country and its people, as well as the Mission and its facilities. The maps are of Yemen (1cm to 24km, showing completed USAID roads, programmed USAID roads, Chinese roads, and existing tracks); and The Arab States.…

Very rare complete 2-volume set in 3 parts: Vol. I: The Bent Pyramid. Vol. II: The Valley Temple. Part I: The temple reliefs. Part II: The finds. - A fundamental two-volume archaeological report describing Ahmed Fakhry's excavations in the 1950s of the Bent Pyramid of King Sneferu and the surrounding complex. It documents the construction of the pyramid, the inner chambers, and the discovery of the valley temple, with valuable reliefs and finds. The work is divided into three parts, focusing on the Bent Pyramid, the valley temple, and the reliefs/finds of the temple. Fakhry specialized in the Bent Pyramid and documented the two unique entrances, the vaulted ceilings, and the structurally crucial cedar beams. He excavated the valley temple associated with the Bent Pyramid and discovered decorated blocks with images of ritual scenes from the early Fourth Dynasty, which he published in the second part. This work is essential for understanding the evolution of pyramid construction from the Bent Pyramid to the Red Pyramid. - Ahmed Fakhry (born in Faiyum Governorate in 1905 - Paris, 7 June 1973) was an Egyptian archaeologist who worked in the Western desert of Egypt (including in 1940 dig at El Haiz, and then at Siwa), and also in the necropolis at Dahshur. …

First edition. First edition. Title page printed in red and black. Text in Arabic and Latin. [16], 31, [3], 33-390 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. A translation, from the original Arabic, into Latin with notes and commentary, by Edward Pococke, of a key source for Arab culture and history, De origine & moribus Arabum, by Jacobite scholar Gregorius Bar Hebraeus Abu'l-Faraj (ca. 1226-1286). With a sectional title page on B1r: De Arabum populis, eorumque moribus; and a separately dated title page for Pococke's Notes: "Notæ in quibus aliquam-multa quæ ad historiam orientalium" on leaf F1r; pagination and register are continuous. There are sections discussing Proverbs and Authors cited by Abu'l-Faraj. A foundational text in the European study of Arabic literature: "Pococke's attempt to show that far from being a mere ancillary to biblical exegesis, Arabic literature (in the widest sense) was worthy of study in its own right in the same way that classical cultures were. It is his greatest work, and of permanent scholarly value" (ODNB). This text introduced European readership to Arabic history in the pre-Islamic and Islamic periods, and continued to einfluence scholarship into the nineteenth century. It is also the first book printed at Oxford with Arabic characters. ESTC R32029; Wing G2025; Madan, II, 2034, 2002; Fück 173; Zenker 750; not in Smitskamp Old calf, rebacked, red spine label.
