Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. "The New Golden Bough" is James Frazer's classic anthropological work edited and abridged by Theodore H. Gaster. This is the Second Printing of Gaster's edited abridgment, complete with notes and a Foreword, issued in 1965 by S. G. Phillips in New Jersey. Frazer's original work, first issued in twelve volumes in 1890 in England, was a "pioneer study in magic and religion" that completely changed the course of anthropological thinking, and, along with its supplementary volume ("Aftermath"), became the crowning masterpiece of what was, then, a fairly new field of study. The following is excerpted from the dust-jacket's write-up : "A pioneer study in magic and religion that links the primitive concepts and modes of thought to the many institutions and folk customs they underlie, "The Golden Bough" was a milestone in the interpretation of man's past. No other work in the field of anthropology contributed so much to the mental and artistic climate of our times. What Freud did for the individual, Frazer did for civilization as a whole. Tracing the evolution of human behavior from the 'savage' to the civilized through his studies of magic, taboos, sexual practices, superstitions, and wizardry, and locating from these the basis and roots of contemporary social, scientific, and religious ideas, Frazer built a magnificent behavioral bridge from the past to the present. "This completely new, revised, one-volume abridgment . preserves the original thesis, structure, and documentation - while omitting those subsidiary and incidental elements which recent research has rendered obsolete or untenable. Holding to the eight divisions of the original, Dr. Gaster has divided them into sub-topics , and again, into paragraphs numbered for easy cross-reference. Gaster has improved the internal order of the sub-topics, cut away excess verbiage, and included comprehensive notes not available before in earlier editions. Where he has cut, or condensed outdated material, new commentary and connective material have been added. Notes, a complete index, and the text proper are all carefully coordinated and a valuable synopsis, general preface, and a substantial foreword analyzing Frazer's work and comparing it with this abridgment are included. "The New Golden Bough" gives the reader easy, logical access to one of the richest works of the human imagination, and restores it as a living, working classic and an indispensable reference work."

paperback. 9 x 11 inches. paperback. 336 pages. Using over 700 color images of illustrated book covers and wrappers, this book presents a fascinating view of the remarkable, and as yet unheralded, creativity which characterized publishing and book design in Latvia between the World Wars. The majority of covers shown herein were made by artists or designers commissioned by publishers to attract potential buyers. It is through these illustrated covers and wrappers for books (and, for comparison, covers of selected periodicals, sheet music, and a few posters) that a glimpse of the "look" of the Latvian book during the Independence - late 1919 to the summer of 1940 - emerges. This visual exploration of a rapidly vanishing chapter in 20th century publishing history is given context by an overview of the historic book culture of interwar Latvia, giving special attention to company histories, the often colorful careers of prominent designers, artists, and publishers, as well as how the political situation in Latvia dominated and influenced much of what was published. The work is divided into sections, each covering one of the four major language groups in Latvia: Latvian, Russian, German and Yiddish. The book also features the personal reminiscences of the author, showing how he gained his longtime appreciation for the creativity and richness of Latvian publishing and book design, describing how he became involved in such a challenging project, and explaining why he found the subject so compelling and important that he devoted the last years of his life to this work. Such an extensive work on this topic has never previously been undertaken, so this book will prove valuable to cultural historians, artists, graphic designers, as well as those who might lack a clear (or any) image of "the Latvian book.".

This book presents a critical examination of the East African slave trade, providing a powerful and detailed account of the brutal realities of the system as it existed in the 19th century. The author, a European resident of Zanzibar, offers a first-hand perspective on the trade's inner workings and its devastating impact on the lives of countless Africans. The book delves into the specific conditions of enslaved people in Zanzibar, exploring the dynamics of their lives on plantations and in the town, and the complex relationships between slaves and their Arab masters. The author examines the justifications and legal frameworks surrounding slavery, highlighting the hypocrisy of a system that, despite efforts to curtail the trade, continued to thrive under the guise of legality. The book further explores the inadequacy of the measures proposed by the British government to suppress the trade and offers powerful criticisms of the often-inhumane treatment of freed slaves. Ultimately, the author urges readers to confront the uncomfortable truth about the extent of British involvement in the trade, exposing the tragic consequences of a system built on economic gain and blind to the fundamental human rights of those enslaved. This book serves as a stark reminder of the enduring legacy of slavery and its far-reaching consequences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
