Critically Acclaimed ... moreHistory of the Dramatic Discovery of Mankind’s Oldest Remains– Lucy! By Donald Johanson& Maitland Edey. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: If you have any interest in archaeology or the origins of mankind. This is a MUST READ. Acclaimed both by critics as well as the general public– the story of one of the most significant finds ever of Paleoanthropology. 409 pages. Publisher: Simon and Schuster; 1981) When Donald Johanson discovered a partial skeleton. Approximately 3.5 million years old, in the remote Afar region of Ethiopia in November of 1974, he knew he had stumbled onto something unique. Bursting with all the suspense and intrigue of a fast-paced adventure novel, and filled with lively, up-to-the-minute scientific detail and marvelous illustrations in color and black-and-white, this significant book unfolds the extraordinary discovery of“Lucy” the oldest, most complete, best-preserved skeleton of any erect-walking human ancestor ever found, and the first new species to be named in more than 15 years. The book reveals the controversial change Lucy makes in our view of human origins, and provides a vivid, behind-the-scenes account of the entire history of paleoanthropology; as well as the eccentric, colorful characters who are and were a part of it. In January 1979. Johanson’s startling“official” announcement of his discovery of Lucy(which is how the world knows her, from the Beatle’s song“Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” even though her scientific name is Australopithecus afarensis) was an event that captured headlines, catapulted a young, relatively unknown American paleoanthropologist into international acclaim, and created a spirited, ongoing controversy among experts; including most notably Mary and Richard Leakey, in this wonderfully enigmatic field of fierce rivalries and astonishing breakthroughs. The story behind the controversy betw

As it existing in three separate countries with a common spirit and tradition; Ireland, Wales, and Brittany, is brilliantly revealed in these exciting epic chronicles with 120 evocative photographs of artifacts, manuscripts, and landscapes that bring the Celtic world to life as never before. Ireland, land of ancient warriors who value nothing higher than fame and courage as they battle magical forces pitted against them. Ancient warriors whose deeds are as noble and mysterious as the hill forts and standing stones scattered around the landscape. Ancient warriors whose love of exaggeration and boasting compare with the most extravagant blarney. These are the Celts revealed by the early Irish chronicles. Wales. A land of bands and druids hemmed into a beautiful, mountainous country where King Arthur roamed with his knights. The Welsh warriors saw themselves as defenders of the west, heroes who would one day hurl the foreign oppressors back into the sea. These dramatic chronicles date back to the Middle Ages, but they are truly much older than that. They tell of love and betrayal, of quests and challenges, of supernatural creatures and of murder. Battling dragons. Tyrants, and sorcerers, the warriors of Brittany were people of the sea. Hermits, missionaries, mystics, they passed down their tales of mystery and magic orally through the centuries. They are captured here from a time when the old pagan days were dying out, and the secret, supernatural skeins of the early mystical Celts were quickly attaching themselves to a new religion.

Publisher: Brockhampton Press; 1998) The ancient Celts were a forceful. Warring race who dominated Western Europe up until the spread of Roman civilization. The flight from Rome ultimately took the Celts to Britain and Ireland, and it was here that their unique traditions survived best. Ireland in particular boasts a vigorous Celtic influence on its culture, art, and literature. Heroic tales of the Celts, at first preserved in oral form and only transcribed at a much later date, comprise some of the most enthralling and exhilarating literature ever to have emerged from ancient Europe. Peopled by gods. High kings, spirited queens, noble warriors, fairy women, goblins and wizards, the mythology of the Celts is unsurpassed in variety, charm and sheer entertainment value. Celtic Myths and Legends” is a dazzling collection of the most gripping of these Celtic tales, vividly retold and illustrated by an intriguing array of paintings and illustrations. Celebrating the compelling appeal of the ancient Celtic world, this book gathers together the legends and sagas of this bygone culture in a powerful tribute to the heroism, romance, and mystery of the Celtic People.

Free Shipping Condition: Very Good Location: United States Beyond Stonehenge by Gerald S. Hawkins. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 319 pages. Publisher: Harper& Row. Publishers; 1973) Gerald Hawkins. ... moreAuthor of“Stonehenge Decoded” and“Splendor in the Sky” here explores many intriguing facets of the wisdom of ancient man. First he tells about the astro-archaeological work done at Stonehenge itself, that eighth wonder of the ancient world. Stonehenge is an architectural gem, awesome, haunting, strangely beautiful. On the day of a summer solstice, his group took pictures of the rising sun over the heel stone. Hawkins considers just what it is that makes a civilization. Again he goes to make a study of enormous ancient drawings in the Peruvian desert, those vast linear Nazca lines which can be appreciated only from the air. Yet their makers could not have seen them from the air. How and why were they made? Hawkins and his associates made measurements and calculations. But came to the conclusion that they are not oriented toward sun, moon, or stars. Their mystery remains unsolved; gigantic lizard, spider, flower, monkey. The author explores Machu Picchu and its temple. He reviews Heyerdahl’s theory of Kon-Tiki and the passage to the Pacific islands from the west coast of South America. Hawkins then explores the activities of the American Indian mound builders. Some of those works are oriented toward the sun. He looks at Mayan ruins in Central America. Hawkins makes astro-surveys of the temples of the Nile. The Great Temple of Karnak, the Temple of Amon-Ra, where the pharaoh made his sun observations, and other temples. Hawkins’ assumption is that anything which shows today as clearly astronomical was known in antiquity to the builders. He offers perceptive speculations on how much longer our civilization will continue, and digs into many legends and myths concerned with the ancient civilizations which still have reference in the modern world. Illustrated with 60 photographs and 49 line drawings. CONDITION: Pages are clean. Crisp, unmarked(except for owner's nam

Publisher: BDD Illustrated Books; 1993) Since the dawn of time humankind ... morehas been fascinated with the endless mystery of life. The birth of civilization. Including the construction of the first buildings, the manufacture of early artifacts, and the many and carried applications of an evolving technological knowledge, happened in large part because of this fascination. In trying to explain their surroundings and attempting to rationalize the fantastic, human beings created a wealth of monuments that give the modern archaeologist clues as to what life has been like over the millennia. Lost Civilizations" probes the archaeological and anthropological evidence uncovered by researchers and paints a compelling portrait of the growth of civilization. The books starts with a discussion of the very real evidence that points to the existence of a vanished land called"Atlantis" The book then travels to the Near East. Where, as many researchers believe, humankind's first civilization developed, in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley in Mesopotamia. Also included in this chapter are descriptions of the communities in the outlaying regions, particularly ancient Egypt. Next the book focuses on the Mediterranean civilizations. From the Phoenicians; who have been thought responsible for ruins found as far away from their home as North America; to the Trojans and the Greeks. From there"Lost Civilizations" turns to the Far East in an examination of Asian civilizations, including those of China, which has survived as a unified state for more than 2,000 years. Also examined are the Indus River Valley civilizations(the site of modern-day India) as well as Persia, whose well-trained armies conquered an enormous empire. Africa is the next land of mystery to be explored; the civilizations of Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. Among others, are held up to the light of modern scrutiny, deepening suspicions that the continent might have seen not o

Noted medieval scholar Eileen Power recreates the lives of six ordinary people who lived during the Middle Ages. Drawing upon account books, diaries, letters, records, wills, and other authentic historical documents, she brings to vivid life Bodo, a Frankish peasant in the time of Charlemagne; Marco Polo, the well-known Venetian traveler of the thirteenth century; Madame Eglentyne, Chaucer’s prioress in real life; a Parisian housewife of the fourteenth century; Thomas Betson, a fifteenth century English merchant; and Thomas Paycocke of Coggeshall, an Essex clothier in the days of Henry VII. Largely untouched by fame(with the exception of Marco Polo) The lives and activities of these common people offer a unique glimpse of various aspects of the medieval world: peasant life, monastic life, the wool trade, Venetian trade with the East, domestic life in a middle-class home, and more. Enlivened with charming illustrations and touches of humor, this scholarly yet highly readable work(according to the New York Times) possesses a color, a dramatic touch that humanizes the dry bones of charters and documents” CONDITION: Unblemished except that dustjacket and covers evidence mild edge and corner shelfwear.

Davis. NOTE: We have 75.000 books in our library, almost 10,000 different titles. Odds are we have other copies of this same title in varying conditions, some less expensive, some better condition. We might also have different editions as well(some paperback, some hardcover, oftentimes international editions) If you don’t see what you want, please contact us and ask. We’re happy to send you a summary of the differing conditions and prices we may have for the same title. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 466 pages. Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers; 2004) In"The Human Story" James C. Davis takes us on a journey to ancient times, telling how peoples of the world settled down and founded cities, conquered neighbors, and established religions, and continues over the course of history, when they fought two nearly global wars and journeyed into space. Davis's account is swift and clear, never dull or dry. He lightens it with pungent anecdotes and witty quotes. Although this compact volume may not be hard to pick up, it's definitely hard to put down. For example. On the death of Alexander the Great, who in a decade had never lost a single battle, and who had staked out an empire that spanned the entire Near East and Egypt, Davis writes: When they heard how ill he was, the king's devoted troops insisted on seeing him. He couldn't speak, but as his soldiers, every one, filed by in silence, Alexander's eyes uttered his farewells. He died in June 323 B.C. at the ripe old age of thirty-two. In similar fashion Davis recounts Russia's triumph in the space race as it happened on an autumn night in 1957: A bugle sounded. Flames erupted, and with a roar like rolling thunder, Russia's rocket lifted off. It bore aloft the earth's first artificial satellite, a shiny sphere the size of a basket
