Juan and Eva Peron formed a charismatic and formidable partnership, arousing passionate emotions in Argentina during the 1940s and 1950s. Juan Peron's rise to power began in 1943 when he helped organize the successful coup of pro-Axis army officers. He became minister of war, vice-president, and secretary of labor; but was then briefly imprisoned, before being elected president in 1946. It was Eva's phenomenal popularity with the poor that helped Juan secure mass support for his program of social reform and re-election in 1951. Eva, a former actress and subject of scandal, became increasingly influential, securing the vote for women, directing private and government funds to social welfare, and advancing the cause of the workers. The army, however, never accepted her. After a long struggle, she died of cancer in 1952, at the age of 33. After that, Peron lost direction, and was overthrown by a military coup in 1955, only to return in 1973 after a third term in office. He died the following year.

This illustrated handbook presents a concise history of the development of the coinage of the early Arab caliphate in the seventh century, tracing its transition from coins that closely resembled Byzantine issues with imperial images to purely aniconic specimens with inscriptions in Arabic. This so-called “Arab-Byzantine series” sheds light on a pivotal period in the history of Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, as formerly Byzantine provinces were slowly Arabicized and Islamicized following the Arab conquests of the 630s and 640s. The historical introduction, which includes descriptions of all the basic types, is followed by a summary catalogue of the recently acquired collection of Arab-Byzantine coins at Dumbarton Oaks.

(Ephesus has had a fascinating and eventful history. Famou...)
Ephesus has had a fascinating and eventful history. Famous for its connections with Artemis, Heraclitus and St Paul, it is also one of the richest archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. Founded in the tenth century BC, it became, in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, the largest city and most important commercial centre in Asia Minor and continued in this role into Late Antiquity, where Professor Foss takes up its story. Professor Foss charts the fluctuations of Ephesus in all their aspects, religious, social, political and geographical, with extensive reference to many sources - historians, hagiographers, and travellers, as well as the rich archaeological evidence. The author's ability to visualise and convey what the city must have looked like at each stage, coupled with his strong narrative sense and varied choice of illustrations, will appeal to the general reader interested in Ephesus and to archaeologists, historians and those interested in church history.
