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 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$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 $a9910456809403321 996 $aYear of the locust$92445173 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05361oam 2200601 450 001 9910819806203321 005 20190911112728.0 010 $a981-4436-19-4 035 $a(OCoLC)861522167 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL8REC 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001126119 100 $a20130628h20132013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSpace-time symmetry and quantum Yang-Mills gravity $ehow space-time translational gauge symmetry enables the unification of gravity with other forces /$fJong-Ping Hsu, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, USA, Leonardo Hsu, University of Minnesota, USA 210 1$aNew Jersey :$cWorld Scientific,$d[2013] 210 4$d?2013 215 $a1 online resource (xxxi, 253 pages) $cillustrations 225 1 $aAdvanced Series on Theoretical Physical Science ;$vVolume 11 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a981-4436-18-6 311 $a1-299-95534-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPreface; Contents; Overview; About the Author; Part I.

Translational gauge symmetry and the field-theoretic origin of effective metric tensors 330 $aYang-Mills gravity is a new theory, consistent with experiments, that brings gravity back to the arena of gauge field theory and quantum mechanics in flat space-time. It provides solutions to long-standing difficulties in physics, such as the incompatibility between Einstein's principle of general coordinate invariance and modern schemes for a quantum mechanical description of nature, and Noether's 'Theorem II' which showed that the principle of general coordinate invariance in general relativity leads to the failure of the law of conservation of energy.
