The task of compressing the last two thousand years of Palestinian history has been achieved here through impressive research through the archaeological record and ancient manuscripts. Chapters included are, from the roman conquest to 70 C. E., Roman era, continued 70 to 305, the advance of the cross, Byzantine rulers - 3985 to 564 and much more. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

It came to me in Aiezieres en Drouais, a charming village west of Paris, where, for months, I had crawled upon the hills, ducked under blank shots, dug model trenches, and absorbed soporific chapters from the infantry sergeant handbook, very peacefully. Early one June morning, with the sixty men of my training platoon, I was sketching from a hill the valley beneath, accord ing to the military convention of perspective, when a slow column appeared in the hollow of my model vehicles of all descriptions buggies, farm wagons drawn by four, six, some times eight horses strangely loaded. Cattle and pedestrians followed. It dragged on towards the south, uninterrupted. Then cars, with trailers and carts in tow, shot by the horses and formed a dotted line to their left. I recognized it. It seemed to jump out of my past. Twenty two years ago, after a maddening night of bombing, I, too, fled from the north, hauling a cart. My mother pushed, her feet soon bled. Red and blue flares and explosions tore the sky beyond the city. Enormous and scarlet, the sun came up and washed out the lights of the battle of the Somme. Then I saw that the woman ahead of us wore a dressing gown, and carried an alarm clock, a beauty kit, and a ladle. Next to her, a girl pulled a wheelbarrow with her mother in it. Bundles were piled in the emaciated arms of the old woman, but her jaw hung open. She was dead, and the bundles fell on the road, one after the other. The girl didnt know it. 11 Downfall This was the same fatal hemorrhage, miming, flowing out of the deep wound that the invasion had, once more, Inflicted on my country. As if the exodus had propagated a plague, the villages around became devitalized. The popukticn disappeared, deserting crops, stock, cellars. Training was Interrupted. We spent days ardently combing the woods for parachutists, and found none. Formed into regu lar companies, we expected to leave for the front, and were eager to fight but our train never came. On the ninth of June, the next railway station, at Dreux, was neatly sprinkled with bombs by fifteen German dive bombers, hardly bothered by a weak antiaircraft fire. Where were the Allied airplanes We never saw them any more. German observation planes took their place above us, and strafed us a bit, every day, for fun. Paper headlines swelled enormously Treason . . . Our officers became nervous...

This volume presents the complete scores for three rondòs composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's: “Rondò K. 485”,  “Rondò K. 494”, and “ Rondò K. 511”. Although Mozart was not the first composer to use the rondò , he was arguably the most significant, redefining and adding depth to the form through the creation of smooth transitions between the fast and slow sections. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 – 1791) was an extraordinarily prolific and seminal composer during the Classical era. He displayed astonishing musical ability from a very early age, composing and playing competently when just five years old. During his lifetime, Mozart composed over 600 original works, many of which are considered to be the apex of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. The “Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major, K. 545” was described by Mozart as a piece "for beginners," and it is sometimes referred to as “Sonata facile” or “Sonata semplice”. Featuring large, clear note heads and wide margins, this edition is perfect for studying and following the music, and it is not to be missed by collectors. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library of the most well-known and universally-enjoyed works of classical music ever composed, reproduced from authoritative editions for the enjoyment of musicians and music students the world over.
