Central Asian Monuments presents a collection of essays about the monuments, literature and culture of Central Asia. Historical and literary monuments are repositories of civilizations reflecting the culture and aesthetic tastes of their makers. Central Asia has a large and impressive repertoire of such monuments, though most of these are unknown to the western reader. Each of the nine essays compiled in this book focuses on a different Central Asian monument placing it in its historical context. The monuments discussed range from the earlier works of the Central Asia to the 19th and 20th century products and present a picture of this lesser known part of the world.

The Arts and Crafts of Syria and Egypt from the Ayyubids to World War I

This book focuses on the production, sale, and consumption of portable arts in regions covered today by the modern polities of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Palestine Authority. The reprinted chapters in this volume have been revised and updated. They offer interdisciplinary approaches to the material culture of the region from the twelfth to the early twentieth centuries, combining evidence from primary written sources, archaeology, and objects in museums and private collections. Topics include the production and distribution of pottery, importation of glazed wares into the Middle East, shadow puppetry, economic activity associated with the Syrian hajj, the manufacturing practices of the crafts operating in Damascus during the last decades of Ottoman rule, and the decoration of artillery shell cases during and after World War I. Also included are an introduction containing a critical evaluation of the main sources of information, a cumulative bibliography, and a previously unpublished study of leatherworking in the late Ottoman period.
