MCLACHLAN, SEAN. Byzantium: An Illustrated History.
Hippocrene Books, New York: 0781810337 / 9780781810333 s Softcover. Brand new book.
Byzantium: An Illustrated History offers more than 50 photographs and maps, a timeline, a chronology of emperors, and a guide to Byzantine sites in Greece, Italy, Turkey, and the Middle East. Long after Rome fell to the Germanic tribes, its culture lived on in Constantinople, the glittering capital of the Byzantine Empire. For more than a thousand years (A.D. 330-1453), Byzantium was one of the most advanced and complex civilizations the world had ever seen. Born in the Classical era, it flourished in the Middle Ages and contributed to the flowering of the Renaissance. As the Mediterranean outlet for the Silk Route, with trade networks stretching from Scandinavia to Sri Lanka, it served as a vital bridge between the Muslim East and the Catholic West. Its artists created somber icons and brilliant mosaics that inspired French kings and Arab emirs alike. Its priests and monks fostered the Orthodox Christianity that is the faith of millions today.

MCLACHLAN, SEAN. Missouri: An Illustrated History.
Hippocrene Books, New York: 0781811961 / 9780781811965 s Softcover. Brand new book.
The epic tale of Missouri's history from ancient times to today is related here in a concise, accessible format--from the Native American cultures to the territorial period; from the agony of the Civil War to the freewheeling era of jazz and Prohibition; and from 20-century labor and Civil Rights struggles to the triumph of the St. Louis Arch. Descriptions of many of these tumultuous times come from Missourians themselves, the reporters, generals, and everyday people who set down their observations of this great state and the events that made it what it is today. With more than 80 illustrations, photographs, and maps, Missouri: An Illustrated History, examines Missouri's changing economy, geography, industries, and immigrant populations, bringing the past and present vividly to life.
