Sinan's autobiographies : five sixteenth-century texts
The sixteenth century Ottoman architect Sinan is today universally recognized as the defining figure in the development of the classical Ottoman style. In addition to his vast oeuvre, he left five remarkable autobiographical accounts, the so-called \"Adsiz Risale\", the \"Risaletu'l-Mi'mariyye\", \"Tuhfetu'l-Mi'marin\", \"Tezkiretu'l-Mi'mariyye\" and \"Tezkiretu'l-Bunyan\" that provide details of his life and works. Based on information dictated by Sinan to his poet friend Mustafa Sa'i Celebi shortly before his death, they exist in multiple manuscript versions in libraries in Istanbul, Ankara, and Cairo. The present volume contains critical editions of all five texts, along with transcriptions, annotated translations, facsimiles of the most important variant versions, and an introductory essay that analyzes the various surviving manuscripts, reconstructs their histories, and establishes the relationships between them.

Developing Transformational Leadership Staff Rides for the United States Air Force Reserve
The United States military developed leadership staff rides to develop their officers with the leadership skills necessary to lead forces into battle. Using leadership characteristics with on-site historical battlefield examples, staff rides gave leaders an avenue to learn leadership and ramifications of historical decisions. This study focuses on developing Air Force leadership staff rides to help bridge the gap between classroom, book leadership learning and on-site leadership discussions on how historical examples can be interpreted into today?s leadership lessons for modern military uses. This grounded theory research, focusing on interviews with professional military members, found how revisiting current leadership topics, and adding unique historical perspectives increased the overall leadership experience and educational development of Air Force members.
