books about: 1905     books:       Victorian Fashions 1890-1905, Vol.II1 review Hazel Ulseth, Helen Shannon Hobby House Press, 1989 A useful tool in establishing fashions from the period. I have found this a useful book, particularly in establishing the types and styles for costuming my dolls. The authors have taken a wide variety of patterns from the period and compiled the pictures and descriptors into one book. Original weights and types of material, plus a brief explanation of the designs are helpful, but from a sewing perspective, explanations of some of the more unusual ...             The Fall of the Dynasties: The Collapse of the Old Order, 1905-1922 (The Mainstream of the Modern World ...1 review Edmond Taylor Doubleday, 1963 Shaping the 20th Century This is not a book about WWI battles but rather about empires, their inadvertent lead up to the war, their reactions during the war, their resulting fall, and the disaster to humanity caused by the fall. The period is 1905-1922. For comparison the war itself was 1914-1918 and the US was involved only 1917-1918. WWII caused more direct deaths (often today's only measure of importance) but WWI ...             January 19051 review Katharine Boling Harcourt Paperbacks, 2006 Lovely book about my grandmother's day I picked this up because it reminded me of pictures of my grandmother and her sister. My daughter loved it. It gives a glimpse of a time in place in American history that is not a part of the traditional history curriculum.             Einstein 1905: The Standard of Greatness1 review John S. Rigden Harvard University Press, 2006 Anno Mirabilis This year is the hundredth anniversary of "Einstein's Miracle Year" of 1905. In 1905, Albert Einstein published five scientific papers, all of which were important and three of which are still considered groundbreaking. Many scientists would consider themselves lucky to publish five important papers in a lifetime, which is one of the many reasons why Einstein's achievement is considered such a ...             Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution, 1905-1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland Houri Berberian Westview Press, 2001 Drawing upon original sources, this study provides the most comprehensive treatment to date of the issue of Armenian politicization and participation in the Iranian Constitutional Revolution (1905-1911). Houri Berberian traces the political, economic, and social situation of Armenians in the nineteenth century with a special emphasis on the Armenian provinces of the Ottoman Empire, which became the focus of the Armenian revolutionary movement in ...             19051 review Leon Trotsky Random House Trade Paperbacks, 1972 Brian Wayne Wells, Esquire, reviews "1905" by Leon Trotsky This is a history of the 1905 revolt in St. Petersburg Russia which became the "great prologue to the revolutionary drama of 1917." The book was written by one of the leading participants in that revolt--Leon Trotsky. Unlike many of Trotsky's later writings this 1908 book covers the historical events of 1905 without regard to political considerations of the Trotsky/Stalin conflict of the ...             Lady's Choice: Ethel Waxham's Journals and Letters, 1905-19108 reviews University of New Mexico Press, 1996 A Moving Collection This collection is truly wonderful. Ethel Waxham and many of her correspondents are of such intelligence, perceptiveness, spirit, and wit that they are, as John McPhee says of Ethel Waxham in the Forward, irresistable. The jounal entries and the letters make it clear that the story of Ethel Waxham's journey from Wellesley to the ranch on Muskrat creek just south of Moneta was deeper and more ...             The Colt Model 1905 Automatic Pistol2 reviews John Potocki Andrew Mowbray Pub, 1998 The Colt Model 1905 Automatic Pistol I highly recommend this book as the definitive source on the Colt 1905 and 1905/07. Although the type itself saw limited production, its developement history and impact is a necessary adjunct to understanding and appreciating the Colt 1911 Automatic for which it was the precusor and also the bridge from the 1900/1902 .38 models which started it all. With only a little over 6,000 produced, ...             The Revolution of 1905: A Short History Abraham Ascher Stanford University Press, 2004 This is a concise history of the Revolution of 1905, a critical juncture in the history of Russia when several possible paths were opened up for the country. By the end of that year, virtually every social group had become active in the opposition to the autocracy, which was on the verge of collapse. Only the promise of reform, in particular the formation of a parliament (Duma) that would participate in governing the country, enabled to old ...             Modern Style: Jugendstil/Art Nouveau 1899-1905 Julius Hoffman Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt Gmbh, 2006 Features over 2500 objects such as metal, ceramics , glass, furniture and jewelry from the Art Nouvea movement that were included in leading internation al specialist journals.

This book, however, is one of the better ones in the Essential Histories series. The book is well organized and follows a clear chronological path. The largest chapter in the book deals with Russian and Japanese maneuvers. Although the last four chapters are very short, they fit perfectly into the chronological order of the book. They ...             Things As They Are: Mission Work In Southern India (1905) Amy Wilson-Carmichael Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2008             The Silver Star: 1905 (The House of Winslow #20)3 reviews Gilbert Morris Bethany House, 2006 Morris's Twentieth excellent book in this series! Everything I have read by Mr. Morris has kept me riveted. I keep going back for the next book. I'm to the end of the list, so Mr. Morris had better keep writing--I'm a fast reader. House of Winslow Series is fantastic, following the ancestors of a man who sailed on the Mayflower. So far we're in the early 1900's. I am branching out to his Appomatox Saga until he has more Winslow books. If ...             Battleships and Battle Cruisers, 1905-1970: Historical Development of the Capital Ship4 reviews Siegfried Breyer Doubleday & Company, 1973 Excellent single volume compendium Breyer manages to provide the reader with a work packed with all sorts of technical and historical goodies.

The book is in need of an update, but still extremely useful for the warship ...             Rural Delivery: Real Photo Postcards from Central Pennsylvania 1905-1935 Jody Blake, Jeannette Lasansky Pennsylvania State University Press, 1996 Rural Delivery: Real Photo Postcards from Central Pennsylvania 1905-1935 shows rural America at its best during these years and relates the history of photographic techniques to the country's craze for postcards.

Ship photography is outstanding and gives detailed history of many famous individually owned yachts. One of the best collections of yachting history and photograpy I have found published.
