DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust ... moreJacket: 392 pages. Publisher: Studio Editions; 1993) In countless tepees. Across the wide expanse of the North American continent, the Indian storytellers filled the hours of darkness with tales of myth and magic that held their audiences spellbound. Before the arrival of the Europeans, more than three hundred tribal groups lived in the forests, mountains, and plains of North America. For these Indians, the stories were more than mere entertainment, they were an essential part of a culture based upon a common understanding of mankind’s place in nature. As such the mythology was inseparable from the ceremonies and beliefs of the tribes. In many. Such as the Navajo, the mythology was inextricably bound with tribal ceremony and beliefs. Dancers who donned masks to represent gods thereby assumed the spiritual strengths associated with them. The stories that were told varied according to tribe, but they were united by many common themes. Trusting yet superstitious, the American Indian lived close to nature, at one with his surroundings. The mountains. Forests, and plains are the settings for these charming stories, which center on hunting, trapping, and other pastoral pursuits. In all of them, the elements play an important part, just as they did in the lives of the Indians themselves. The open air, the wind, the sun, the trees, the stones and the hills were all believed to be living things; even the night and the day. Presiding over all was the Great Spirit, the supreme Indian deity. Many stories tell of a time when the earth was different than it is today. Before the coming of the tribes, when animals were considered to be human too. Totemism, the belief that animals had inhabited the land before man and were this better equipped by nature and cunning to survive than primitive mankind, is the prevalent characteristic of the Indian mythologies. The Indians had com

Publisher: Time-Life Books Inc; 1987) The Time Frame series was released ... morein the late 80's-early 90's. Each volume undertakes to describe the major events that happened in one specific time period in the development of mankind’s civilization(s) The volumes are richly illustrated. And designed as an introduction to the time frame covered. Especially compelling are the artists interpretations or recreations of what various ancient civilizations would have looked like– their architecture, homes, monuments, cities, daily life, jewelry, food, family life, dwellings, occupations, etc. As just one instance, the ruins of Babylon and Ur, Athens and Rome hint at the incredible richness of those fabled cities. The artist’s recreations in this series are simply mind-numbing. This is as close as you can be to actually having been there. The entire series is truly a magnificent introduction to the history of the era. If you could have just one book(or series of books) to introduce the history of humankind. This would have to be it. The overviews are concise and well-written. Together with the illustration and pictures they impart a wonderful mental and emotional“picture” of what life must have been like in various civilizations and at various times. Done in a style so wonderfully characteristic of Time-Life’s publications, these are over-sized“coffee table” type books full of impressive imagery. The pictures of the world’s greatest art and architecture alone are worth the cost of these books. But don’t get the impression that these volumes are“fluff” While a particular volume might not quite take the place as a university degree, the material is well-written, informative, and immensely intellectually gratifying, overview though it might be. This particular volume, Time-Frame 400 BC-200 AD” is sub-titled“Empires Ascendant” The material is divided into a number of subjects which will give you an idea of the rich content; and includes: Th

The origins of bronze-working in China are mysterious and deeply rooted in ancient Chinese myths. Metallurgy in all its forms seemed miraculous to the ordinary man. And every object, sword or vessel, was thought to possess a spirit of its own. Those who worked with metals seemed to be wizards with supernatural powers, all the more so because the melting operation was preceded, accompanied, and followed by religious ceremonies, exorcism, and magic rites. Mario Bussagli describes the background to the production of Chinese bronzes in fascinating detail. And explains the significance of the different types of ritual vessel and the symbolism of the stylized decoration. The fine illustrations include objects from the Shang, Chou, Han and T'ang periods, and each is described fully in the accompanying notes. CONDITION: LIKE NEW.

THE HERITAGE OF UPPER CANADIAN FURNITURE- A Study in the Survival of Formal and Vernacular ... moreStyles from Britain. America and Europe, 1780-1900. By Howard Pain, Van Nostrand Reinhold Ltd. NY, 1978. THE HERITAGE OF UPPER CANADIAN FURNITURE is a book of firsts. It is meant for both the serious collector and those who are only beginning to become interested. Never before has Canadian furniture been illustrated so lavishly or completely; the 1.450 plates(249 in color) portray the best examples of Upper Canadian furniture so that they can be identified and evaluated. And never before has the furniture been written about with such clarity and authority. Howard Pain[the author] has given us the only complete reference work on this fascinating and unique body of furniture. This text“is the first book to deal in a comprehensive way with both formal and vernacular styles in Upper Canada. And the first to show their interdependence. More importantly, it is the only work to trace and explain the furniture’s diverse cultural origins. The impression has often been given that Upper Canadian furniture originated almost entirely in the traditions of British and American immigrants. This book clearly shows that it is the result of complex interrelationships not only among Britons and Americans, but also among European and French Canadian immigrants. The European traditions, especially, contain unique and beautiful furnishings, which were made in Upper Canada with admirable skill using old country methods. After a brief historical discussion of immigration patterns into upper Canada. The author explores and illustrates the broad range of stylistic influences on Upper Canadian furniture, and then proceeds to explain and portray for the first time the four major furniture traditions: Anglo-American, Germanic, Polish and French Canadian. The last chapter deals with imported furniture, pieces brought by Loyalist and later immigrants, sent from the old country o
