When Sally Wallace--an accomplished miniaturist for more than forty years--visited Moscow with her husband, she fell in love with the onion domes and architecture of St. Basil’s Cathedral and traveled home with the idea to recreate it in miniature. Now, in her new book A Russian Fantasy, Wallace takes readers on a tour of the miniature inspired by St. Basil’s, her most ambitious to date. Within these pages, photos show the detailed exterior which replicates the cathedral, a Russian Orthodox church in Red Square built in the sixteenth century, while the interior reveals an entirely original design, complete with a museum, a workshop, an astronomical observatory, and living quarters. A tribute to all of the artisans who contributed their work, this photo journal documents the elaborate craftsmanship that brings the miniature to life.
The original and distinctive work of miniaturist Sally Wallace is for the second time featured in her new book, Christmas Emporium; and the book is as luscious as her work itself. Working with some of the most talented specialized miniaturists in the world, Sally has composed an expansive and complete environment both inside and out, inspired by her love of Christmas and memories of years gone by when Christmas shops were as fun to visit as to actually purchase items. The exterior has windows in stained glass, two nutcrackers standing guard over the front door and 25 small doors on the outside that serve as a very special advent calendar, among other architectural delights. Every element of the interior, from 18 Christmas trees to tiny wrapped presents under them, I offer up an interior festooned with every detail from working toys to children gazing at them and ornaments to hang on trees—each lovingly placed in an elaborately appropriate room with all the architectural details and interior design exactly as it might be in “real life.” This sumptuous environment is unique in all its facets and readers entering this magical entity for the first time will find the world of a unique talent, the result being a creative process so replete with extraordinary details that the reader him- or herself will wish that they, too, were 1/12 size.
Egyptian and Imported Pottery from the Red Sea port of Mersa Gawsis, Egypt

The unique site of Mersa Gawasis was a base for seaborne trade along the Red Sea coast during the Middle Kingdom. The Egyptians’ purpose was to trade with Punt for incense and other exotic materials. There is little evidence of any permanent structures at the site apart from man-made caves in which shipping equipment was stored between expeditions. The pottery is, therefore, amongst the most significant evidence for human activity here. Vessel types include many marl C jars, but other kinds of vessels including significant foreign material also occur, some in large quantities. This variety of vessels and the careful reuse of potsherds is central to an understanding of specific and day to day domestic activities and of how the site operated. Mersa Gawasis has many vessel forms of the 12th and Early 13th dynasties. Epigraphic evidence closely dates the site, helping to confirm and underpin an understanding of vessel types and technologies within the ceramic chronology of the period. This volume presents the site’s wide variety of ceramic material, offering also an interpretation of what pottery reveals about activities at the site. The author and excavation photographer have worked together to enhance details of the text with specific photographs.

Tax Reform in Russia

The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 brought enormous political, economic, and social challenges. Since 1991 fiscal reform has been a pillar of Russia's reform agenda. This book analyzes the effort to adopt a modern tax code where previously there were few recognizable taxes, establish an efficient tax administration where taxpayers had never paid taxes directly, and decentralize the system of governance where power had been centralized and dictatorial. Despite the remarkable achievements, many old and new challenges remain. The authors bring an analytical approach to fiscal reform in Russia, providing a detailed analysis of the tax system and estimates of tax compliance and evasion. The book offers a careful examination of the fiscal architecture of Russia and concludes with a presentation of remaining reform needs and options for Russia. Based on Russia's reform experience, the authors also draw lessons for fiscal reform in other developing and transitional countries.Given the dynamic nature of Russia's economic development, this book will prove a timely and informative resource for academics in economics, public finance, political science and public administration as well as for policy makers. Its lessons will also be useful for officials involved with finance in transition and developing countries.
