Guebrè-Heywèt Baykedagne (c.1885-1918) est né dans le district d'Adoua, au Tigré. Passager malgré lui d'un navire de retour vers l'Europe, Guebrè-Heywèt passe une partie de son enfance et de son adolescence en Autriche et en Allemagne. De retour à Addis-Abeba vers 1904, en compagnie de médecins allemands venus soigner l'Empereur, Guebrè-Heywèt connaît une carrière brève et tumultueuse. Nommé chef des douanes, negaddras, en 1918, Guebrè-Heywèt s'est surtout fait un nom par la publication de deux textes : Le gouvernement et l'administration publique, ainsi que L'Empereur Ménélik et l'Éthiopie que réédite et traduit la Maison des études éthiopiennes [NDLE: en 1993]. La première publication de ce pamphlet en 1912 a marqué l'histoire de la pensée réformatrice éthiopienne et il demeure à bien des égards d'actualité.

The Empire State Building is the landmark book on one of the world's most notable landmarks. Since its publication in 1995, John Tauranac's book, focused on the inception and construction of the building, has stood as the most comprehensive account of the structure. Moreover, it is far more than a work in architectural history; Tauranac tells a larger story of the politics of urban development in and through the interwar years. In a new epilogue to the Cornell edition, Tauranac highlights the continuing resonance and influence of the Empire State Building in the rapidly changing post-9/11 cityscape.

This work focuses on the political philosophy and the constitutional transformation of the contradiction between two major nations in one land, namely Palestine-Israel. While the notion of the Nation-State has permeated the Levant since the 1917 British crusade into Jerusalem, the organic demographic actuality of the country's population is incompatible with the dominance of one nation in one land, with the subsequent degeneration into the series of war crimes that began in 1947. To move away from this conception of a Zionist State requires another methodology that offers an alternative to the domination of one nation by another that is rationalized by the myths of nation-building promoted by the Nationalist school of thought. With an approach that is inter-national, in the root meaning of the term, this book fuses the Jewish Bundist concept of National-Cultural Autonomy with the process of constituent assemblies as an expression of the parallel civil societies that become an organic social construction codified in a federal constitution. By avoiding the notion of the Nation-State, this exit may then be named "the No-State Solution".
