Hardcover with Dust Jacket, Case Bound, digital Blue Cloth with gold lettering on spineThis new study resolves important historical issues and shows that the current idea that Arthur was a myth is unlikely to be true. Robert MacCann places Arthur into a historical setting in which his relationship to known kings is established, his location is shown, and his dating to the AD 400s - 500s is confirmed.Building on the work of Welsh historian, John Lloyd, he identifies Arthur's father, Uthr, with Einion Yrth who conquered the Irish in north Wales. He shows that the epithets Uthr and Yrth have the same meaning and that Uthr and Einion lived at the same time and same location, in Rhos, north Wales.Dr MacCann investigates the Merlin legend and the historical Taliesin and shows that neither was connected to the historical Arthur. From the work of Geraint Gruffydd he identifies Arthur's bard as Talhaearn, who was called the 'father of (poetic) inspiration' and was the leading bard of the sixth century.The heart of MacCann's thesis is Arthur's tragic voyage to Annwfyn, identified from features of the poetry as America. He brings together all the early poetic sources to give a complete picture of Arthur's death.He shows that Arthur's time was one of climate disasters. The first in about AD 531 was probably caused by clumping in Halley's meteoroid trail and the second, from AD 536 by volcanic eruptions. These caused cold conditions, followed in Wales by the Yellow Pestilence. Arthur's mysterious death and these disasters led to the view that he was ill-fated and to a superstition against using his name in Wales.Dr MacCann analyzes several claims for pre-Columbian visits to America - Madoc; the Irish 'Ogam' carvings in West Virginia; the slaughter of a white people in Kentucky; the DNA results of bones that date to AD 710, found near 'Ogam' carvings, and ancient Roman coins found along rivers in America.

A gripping, illustrated narrative of the longest and most brutal land battle of the 1904–05 Russo-Japanese War.Growing rivalry between Imperial Russia and Imperial Japan over territorial control in China and Korea led to the outbreak of war in February 1904. Japan struck the first blow with a surprise naval attack against the anchored Russian Pacific Fleet at its base in Port Arthur. Once the fleet had been neutralized, the Japanese landed their Second Army on the Liaotung Peninsula in May 1904, in order to besiege Port Arthur. The fighting that followed has become legend in military history. Respected military historian Robert Forczyk describes the Russian relief operation towards Port Arthur (the Battle of Telissu), and the lengthy siege of the Russian-held town and harbour. The initial Japanese attempts to capture the port by assault are documented in detail, together with the Japanese progress through the heavily fortified lines protecting Port Arthur. Specially commissioned artworks bring to life in vivid detail the Battle of Nanshan Hill, the Japanese assault on the Wantai Heights, and the bombardments of the Russian forts. Maps and diagrams explore the strategic situation and tactical progress of the fighting in step-by-step detail, and over 60 period photographs reveal the appearance and weaponry of the opposing forces and the terrain around Port Arthur.
"Nersesian is one of my favorite New York authors; this tome is one to lose yourself in."--Bob Odenkirk, actor, Breaking Bad"The unquestioned authority of Robert Moses is difficult to fully grasp today--this unimaginable, outsized character whose outrageous deeds seem the stuff of novels. And that is how Nersesian is tackling him, by blending fact with fiction. Historical events and persons are interwoven with a fascinating apocalyptic story and literary license, at last revealing the tumultuous life and legacy of Robert Moses. Faced with such a daunting subject matter...Nersesian's narrative is masterful."--Brooklyn Eagle"Imagine Kurt Vonnegut channeling the Book of Revelations and transmitting it to the faithful of a postcataclysmic New York City and you get a glimpse of the monumental literary feat Arthur Nersesian has accomplished...It is imaginative, frightening, and hilarious, often all at the same time."--Michael Imperioli, author of The Perfume Burned His Eyes"Arthur Nersesian's fantastical magnum opus is both a love song to the vibrant culture of 'old' New York City and a cautionary commentary on the rampant political opportunism of the twenty-first century. As meticulously plotted as the best Stephen King novels, with world-building that might arouse jealousy in Philip K. Dick, The Five Books of (Robert) Moses shows us why Nersesian has established himself as one of New York City's most vital chroniclers."--T Cooper, author of Real Man Adventures and the Changers YA seriesAfter a domestic terrorist unleashes a dirty bomb in Manhattan in 1970, making the borough uninhabitable, FBI agent Uli Sarkisian finds himself in a world that is suddenly unrecognizable, as the United States faces its greatest immigration crisis ever: finding housing for millions of its own citizens. The federal government hastily retrofits an abandoned government installation in the Nevada desert. Despite the government's best intentions, as the military pulls out of "Rescue City," the residents are increasingly left to their own devices, and tribal gang warfare fuses with democracy, forming a frightening new political system: the gangocracy.The Five Books of (Robert) Moses alternates between the outrageous present of Rescue City and earlier in the twentieth century, detailing the events leading up to the destruction of Manhattan. We simultaneously follow legendary urban planner Robert Moses through his early years and are introduced to his equally ambitious if somewhat unbalanced older brother Paul, a brilliant electrical engineer whose jealousy toward Robert and anger at the devastation caused by the man's urban "renewal" projects leads to a dire outcome.Arthur Nersesian's most important work to date examines the political chaos of today's world through the lens of the past. Fictional versions of real historical figures populate the pages, including Allen Ginsberg, Abbie Hoffman, and many more.
In this novel, Sid Arthur parallels the process of enlightenment expounded upon in the Hermann Hesse novel Siddhartha, but with a modern approach. Sid Arthur follows the path of most young people looking for their true selves. Sid Arthur leaves his family to look for gold in the world, only to find cold concrete in the cities. He sees those who prey on others and those who are preyed on. Sid Arthur lives a life of start-ups, success, and total obsession. He learns the art of intimacy from a courtesan and gambles his family life away because of a dark night of the soul. After many years of searching, Sid Arthur realizes the true mechanism of the Universe and returns to where he started. He finds the gold he pursued was always beneath his feet, above his head, and most remarkably, in his heart. Sid Arthur needed to change his perception of himself to see the truth of the world. In the end, Sid Arthur hears the sacred Ohm in all living things, finds peace and wisdom, and obtains nirvana.

King Arthur & The Holy Grail vividly tells the story of the greatest adventure in history. As with other epics, Gregg's illusory world is filled with strong moral conflict. Ride with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table as they battle the evil Saxons, led by Lord Goron, in a deadly quest to rescue the Fisher King and The Holy Grail, Christ's Cup from the Last Supper. Live the twists and turns, plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and defeat, and the terror of demons, phantoms, dragons, and the Devil himself as they try to stop Arthur and his men of the roundtable as they race against evil in a quest for the most powerful relic in Christendom. This is a story of kings and queens, knights and maidens, wizards and witches, assassins and saints, hate and love. And, in a spectacular finish, the age-old question, "Where is the Holy Grail?" is finally answered.

Robert Wilson, the leading American avant-garde theatre director, revolutionised the stage by making visual communication more important than words. His productions cut across the boundaries that traditionally have defined theatre, dance, opera and the visual arts to create a total work of art. This book, the first comprehensive study of Wilson, traces the evolution of the director's astonishing career as well as his complex relationship to language and his visual rhetoric. It explains how he renovated the stage and describes in detail major productions such as: Deafman Glance, Einstein on the Beach, and the Civil Wars. Arthur Holmberg's numerous personal interviews and first-hand observations of Wilson's creative process, provide an intimate, behind-the-scenes view of one of our most original directors. Photographs and sketches from Wilson's private collection are included, along with a chronology of his work.
