Located on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, Latvia has had a turbulent past. Its larger neighbors -- Russia, Germany, Poland, Sweden -- all occupied this area of the Baltic littoral at different times in the past, but it was not until the twentieth century that Latvia emerged as an independent country. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Latvia, together with the other two Baltic states, Estonia and Lithuania, regained independence that they had already had between the two World Wars. Plakans' intention here is to offer a stepping stone towards the eventual creation of a work presenting the "significant core" of Latvian history in English. "The Historical Dictionary of Latvia" takes a detailed look at the recent political and economic situation of Latvia as well as its long and sometimes complicated history. There are also entries on the artists, writers, scientists, and other personalities who made their contribution to the culture of the state. The "Dictionary" is further expanded by the inclusion of a map, listings of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, and a bibliography.

The Republic of India is the second most populous, the seventh largest by geographical area, and has the fourth largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity in the world. While it has always been an important country, it has often been neglected. Of late, however, there has been much talk of the "new" India, one with greater economic dynamism, a more active foreign policy, and the emergence of a huge middle class. With over a hundred new cross-referenced dictionary entries--the majority of which pertain to the last decade--and updating others, the second edition of the Historical Dictionary of India illustrates the rapidly evolving situation without neglecting the country's ancient past. The chronology has been brought up to date, the introduction expanded, and the bibliography includes numerous new titles.

Italian history is complex and extensive and potentially overwhelming for the student or researcher. However, the "Historical Dictionary of Modern Italy" provides an ideal reference and springboard for research on Italian history, culture, or politics. The "Dictionary" presents the chief characteristics of Italy's political, social, and cultural changes since the Napoleonic era. Over 350 dictionary-style entries illustrate the rich complexity of Italy's evolution, especially in the twentieth century. Special attention is paid to the political figures, intellectual movements, and formative events. Students and professors of contemporary history, comparative politics, and international relations should find the dictionary-type entries especially useful for scrutinizing Italy's exceptional capacity for political innovation. Useful for first-time students of Italy looking for a familiarity with the country, but also as a quick and accurate ready-reference for the more experienced scholar. Also included are an introduction, tables, maps, chronologies, and thorough subject bibliographies.

Name: Historical Dictionary of Libya (4th Edition)
Author: Ronald Bruce St John

ISBN: 0810853035

The Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, more commonly known as Libya, rests at the intersection of three worlds--Arab, African, and Mediterranean. Early African trade routes passing through Libya linked Central Africa with the North African Coast and the cultures of the Mediterranean sea. Libya's present-day strategic location, combined with its extensive oil reserves and revolutionary leadership, have kept this sparsely populated state at the forefront of nightly news for nearly three decades. Much is discussed yet little is understood, and Libya remains an enigma in world affairs. Its internal and external policies often provoke wide-ranging sentiment, from praise to anger to fear to outright scorn. The third edition of the "Historical Dictionary of Libya" provides a much needed update on the old traditions and new developments of modern Libya. The book covers the early periods of Libyan history, adding background on many of its current internal struggles and much of the impetus of its modern political positions. The United Kingdom of Libya was the first North African area to achieve statehood (in 1951) and emerge from under the auspices of the United Nations. In 1969, the Revolutionary Command Council seized power from the monarchy and redirected the policies of the former regime. This book provides a valuable frame of reference to investigate the policies of the two radically different governments of 20th-century, independent Libya. Other significant changes have occurred with this edition. New entries have been added, particularly concerning the social and economic system of Libya after 1991. Additionally, outside influences on Libyan history have been clarified. Crucial entries such as The United States, Qaddafi, Chemical Weapons, September Revolution, and Revolutionary Committees, have been completely rewritten to present the most accurate, up-to-date information available. The bibliography has been expanded considerably to incorporate new material published in recent years. Several appendixes have been added to the third edition of the " Dictionary" to provide easy access to background information and detailed, focused studies of Libya. Finally a series of maps, also newly added with this edition, provide visual reference to the territorial disputes in which Libya has been embroiled during this century. So much of Libya is shrouded in misinformation and mystery. This third edition of the "Historical Dictionary of Libya" goes farther than ever to provide a concise, handy source of accurate information on one of the modern world's most enigmatic states. Reviews of the Previous Edition: "A major contribution of this work is the comprehensive and very well organized bibliography...a useful work for both the specialist and the amateur." --MESA BULLETIN "...important...As a very basic introduction, outline, and ready reference tool for modern Libya, this edition is highly recommended." --CHOICE "...a remarkably accessible assembly of useful information...a good buy." --LIBYAN STUDIES

Name: Dictionary Visions, Research and Practice: Selected Papers from the 12th International Symposium on Lexicography, Copenhagen 2004
Author: Henrik Gottlieb, Jens Erik Mogensen
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Co
Publication date: 2007
ISBN: 9027223343
Number of pages: 321
Format / Quality: rar -> pdf
Size: 1.99 MB

This book is about dictionaries and dictionary making. In six thematic sections it presents nineteen contributions covering a wide field within lexicography: Online Lexicography, Dictionary Structure, Phraseology in Dictionaries, LSP Lexicography, Dictionaries and the User, plus Etymology, History and Culture in Lexicography. Some chapters focus on theoretical aspects, others report on dictionary work in the making, and still others compare and analyze existing dictionaries. Common to all authors, however, is the concern for the dictionary user. Trivial as it may seem, the fact that dictionaries are meant to fulfill the needs of specific user groups has only recently achieved widespread recognition in the lexicographical literature. This volume shows the many ramifications of this functional approach to lexicography by presenting twenty-two authors representing the state of the art in eleven countries: Canada, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, The Netherlands, Poland, South Africa and Spain.

Name: The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (3-Volume Set)
Author: Alexander P. Kazhdan
Publisher: Oxford University Press

After 35 years that witnessed the explosion of information on virtually every subject, we are in the age of synthesis: encyclopedias and dictionaries abound. With the recent 12-volume Dictionary of the Middle Ages ( LJ 2/1/83) and the older one-volume Oxford Classical Dictionary ( LJ 5/1/71. 2d ed.), this forms a trio of essential resources. The 100 contributors, many of them distinguished experts, have succeeded in their "attempt to collect within a single work data concerning all fields of Byzantine studies." The 5000-plus entries provide authoritative coverage not only of "traditional" topics such as art and architecture, basilica, agriculture, chronology, geography, literature, medicine, military strategy, science, and theology, but also many facets of everyday life--baths, clocks, houses, locks and padlocks, etc. The social historian will be especially pleased with the entries on abortion, childbirth, criminal procedure, food and diet, homosexuality, marriage and the family, names, prostitution, and slavery. The editor deserves special thanks for the uniformly lucid and readable style, for the clear illustrations, and for the useful maps, though the captions are not very informative. Three caveats: many terms appear only in Greek transliteration without adequate definition or explanation; the bibliographies are often skimpy; and the genealogical tables lack the emperors' regnal years. Still, this will endure as the first book the beginning student or the advanced scholar will reach for on the 1100-year history of Byzantium. Academic, large public, and research libraries must acquire this treasure.
-Bennett D. Hill, Georgetown Univ., Washington, D.C.
