Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

In this book, Paul Jacobs traces the history of a neighborhood
situated in the heart of Rome over twenty-five centuries. Here, he
considers how topography and location influenced its long urban
development. During antiquity, the forty-plus acre, flood-prone
site on the Tiber's edge was transformed from a meadow near a
crossroads into the imperial Circus Flaminius, with its temples,
colonnades, and a massive theater. Later, it evolved into a
bustling medieval and early modern residential and commercial
district known as the Sant'Angelo rione. Subsequently, the
neighborhood enclosed Rome's Ghetto. Today, it features an
archaeological park and tourist venues, and it is still the heart
of Rome's Jewish community. Jacobs' study explores the impact of
physical alterations on the memory of lost topographical features.
He also posits how earlier development may be imprinted upon the
landscape, or preserved to influence future changes.
This book is the first comprehensive history of how the 1:1200
scale and its 1:1250 continental equivalent became accepted as the
modern standard for miniature ship models. The origins can be
traced back to the first years of the twentieth century and their
use as identification aids by the military during the First World
War, but when peace came the manufacturers aimed their increasingly
sophisticated products at collectors, and acquiring, modifying or
scratch-building miniature ship models has been an avidly pursued
hobby ever since. This book charts the commercial rise and fall of
the manufacturers, and the advancing technology that produces ever
more detailed and accurate replicas. The author - himself a
lifetime collector and builder of models - looks at the products of
each manufacturer, past and present, rating their quality and
suggesting why some are regarded as more collectible than others.
But the book deals with more than off-the-shelf models, covering
subsidiary issues like painting, modifying and diorama settings,
and is illustrated throughout with many of the finest examples of
the genre. The combination of fascinating background information
with stunning visual presentation will make this book irresistible
to any collector or enthusiast.
