In the diaries of Ihsan Hasan al-Turjman (1893-1917), the first ordinary recruit to describe World War I from the Arab side, we follow the misadventures of an Ottoman soldier stationed in Jerusalem. There he occupied himself by dreaming about his future and using family connections to avoid being sent to the Suez. His diaries draw a unique picture of daily life in the besieged city, bringing into sharp focus its communitarian alleys and obliterated neighborhoods, the ongoing political debates, and, most vividly, the voices from its streets-soldiers, peddlers, prostitutes, and vagabonds. Salim Tamari's indispensable introduction places the diary in its local, regional, and imperial contexts while deftly revising conventional wisdom on the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zPalestine 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zJerusalem 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zMiddle East 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, Turkish 606 $aSoldiers$zJerusalem$vDiaries 606 $aTurks$zJerusalem$vDiaries 607 $aJerusalem$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aJerusalem$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $aarab soldier. 610 $aarab world. 610 $aarab. 610 $aautobiography. 610 $abiography. 610 $abombs. 610 $aconscripted soldier. 610 $adiary. 610 $aempire. 610 $agender. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aihsan hasan al turjman. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $ajerusalem. 610 $ajournal. 610 $amashriq. 610 $amemoir. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amilitary service. 610 $amilitary. 610 $amongolia. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aottoman empire. 610 $aottoman soldier. 610 $apalestine. 610 $apalestinian history. 610 $apalestinian mandate. 610 $apartition. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apow camp. 610 $aprisoner of war. 610 $aregional politics. 610 $arussia. 610 $aseige. 610 $asiberia. 610 $asoldier. 610 $asuez. 610 $aturkey. 610 $aveteran. 610 $awar. 610 $aworld war one. 610 $aww1. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aSoldiers 615 0$aTurks 676 $a940.4/15092 676 $aB 700 $aTama?ri?$b Sali?m$01028974 702 $aTurjman$b Ihsan Salih, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781212603321 996 $aYear of the locust$93757275 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03914nam 22006135 450 001 9910254621303321 005 20200705194032.0 010 $a3-319-23600-8 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-23600-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000000732230 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-23600-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4560272 035 $a(PPN)194381269 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000732230 100 $a20160617d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAstronomy in the Ancient World $eEarly and Modern Views on Celestial Events /$fby Alexus McLeod 205 $a1st ed. 2016. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (VIII, 234 p. 41 illus., 34 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aHistorical & Cultural Astronomy,$x2509-310X 311 $a3-319-23599-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- The Americas -- Supernovae -- China -- Comets -- India -- Eclipses -- Europe and the West -- Astronomy Today. 330 $aAlexus McLeod explores every aspect of the lesser-known history of astronomy in the Americas (Mesoamerica and North America), China and India, each through the frame of a particular astronomical phenomena. Part One considers the development of astronomy in the Americas as a response, in part, to the Supernova of 1054, which may have led to a cultural renaissance in astronomy. He then goes on to explore the contemporary understanding of supernovae, contrasting it with that of the ancient Americas.  Part Two is framed through the appearances of great comets, which had major divinatory significance in early China. The author discusses the advancement of observational astronomy in China, its influence on politics and its role in the survival or failure of empires.  Furthermore, the contemporary understanding of comets is also discussed for comparison.  Part Three, on India, considers the magnificent observatories of the Rajput king Jai Singh II, and the question of their purpose. The origins of Indian astronomy are examined in Vedic thought and its development is followed through the period of Jai Singh, including the role played by solar eclipses. The author also includes a modern explanation of our understanding of eclipses to date. In the final section of the book, McLeod discusses how ancient traditions might help modern civilization better understand Earth?s place in the cosmos. 410 0$aHistorical & Cultural Astronomy,$x2509-310X 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aScience?Social aspects 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aSocietal Aspects of Physics, Outreach and Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P34000 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aScience?Social aspects. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 14$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aSocietal Aspects of Physics, Outreach and Education. 615 24$aAnthropology. 676 $a520 700 $aMcLeod$b Alexus$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0803684 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254621303321 996 $aAstronomy in the Ancient World$92544843 997 $aUNINA
