This comprehensive history of the Iranian Revolution views it in the context of an ongoing conflict between religious and political authorities dating back to the establishment of Shi'ism as the state religion of Iran in 1501. The historical context is seen as being critical in understanding the staying power of Khomeini's regime and its ruthless elimination of internal opposition to the Islamic Republic. The significance of the appearance of widespread popular discontent, the ideological differences among the ruling clergy, and the issue of Khomeini's succession are also considered, and the book concludes with a comparison between the Iranian Revolution and other famous historical revolutions.

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to expand its diplomatic and financial ties while the majority of its citizens are tired of its cruel autocratic rule that has no care for its citizenry. Gail Rose Thompson who lived there in the 1970s during the reign of Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi working for the Imperial Court as the Shah's horse trainer, has many stories about life during those "Golden Years". She visited Iran in 2017 after an absence of forty years, as the first ex-employee of the Shah to return and met up with old friends as well as making new acquaintances. She found life in the Turban's twenty-first century very similar to life as it had been when she was living there under the Shah's Crown. The book paints a colorful picture of a beautiful historic country that dates to the 4th millennium BCE, when the Persian Empire was the most powerful kingdom in the world. The Iranian people are proud of their heritage, polite, hospitable and extremely family oriented. During the past five years through research and frequent conversations by telephone and internet Apps she has followed the happenings in the country which have not been covered well by the discriminatory media of the West. Iran from Crown to Turbans, Revised Edition is a fascinating book that will enlighten the reader about a country that has been ignored and misrepresented.

The hat is one of our most beloved pieces of clothing, appearing in virtually every society. Through the centuries, hats have represented the most important structures of culture: governance (the crown), religion (the turban), tradition (the bonnet), and much more. Yet hats have also always allowed for the very personal expression of style and feeling. In this exquisitely illustrated celebration of the hat, Drake Stutesman uncovers the influence on our lives of this versatile headgear. Beginning in the Ice Age, the story of the hat is traced through its links with the origins of abstract thinking, through the complex evolution of the professions of millinery and hatting starting in the Middle Ages, through the rise of the superstar milliner in the twentieth century, and, finally, through the work of the ingenious hat makers of today who continue to dazzle us with their creations. For all those interested in the history of fashion and the history of culture--and couture--Hat offers new perspectives on this stylish, practical, and important accessory.

Originally published in 1847, this classic book offers a wealth of information on the subject of millinery. There are thirteen chapters on a wide variety of hats and design techniques, plus an added essay on the making of corsets. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone with a interest in millinery. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
