Hardback. Condición: Good. A unique collection of essays accompany Wilfred Thesiger?s own personal photographs of the Africa he experienced as one of the world?s most celebrated explorers. SIR WILFRED THESIGER, last of the great gentleman adventurers, was, in the words of David Attenborough, 'one of the very few people who in our time could be put on the pedestal of the great explorers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.'Born at the British Legation in 1910 in Addis Ababa, Thesiger spent his early years in Abyssinia. He was educated at Eton and Oxford and in 1930, aged twenty, attended the coronation of Haile Selassie at the Emperor's personal invitation. Throughout his life he journeyed through some of the remotest, most dangerous areas of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, witnessing and photographing fast-changing cultures to great acclaim. His many inspiring travels involved explorations in Ethiopia, wartime service with the SOE and the SAS, crossings of the Empty Quarter of Arabia, sojourns in the Iraqi marshes and many loyal and sometimes turbulent friendships. During the 1960s he travelled extensively in East Africa, and from 1978 he spent the greater part of each year living among the pastoral Samburu in Kenya, until retiring to England in 1994. He was knighted in 1995 and died in 2003, aged ninety-three. His books, including ?Arabian Sands? (1959) and ?The Marsh Arabs? (1964), have been hailed as classics of modern travel writing.Published to coincide with the centenary of Wilfred Thesiger's birth and a major exhibition at the Pitt Rivers Museum, this book is a moving celebration of Thesiger's enduring relationship with the African continent, and his fascination with its peoples and landscapes. Containing around two hundred photographs from Thesiger's personal archive, many of them previously unpublished, these essays explore and evaluate his lifetime of exploration and travel in Africa, as well as, for the first time, his photographic practice and its legacy as a museum collection.…

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. 56 pp. Light wear. Cover art by Marion E. Barker. Started in 1920, this magazine was founded by the Hudson's Bay Company as part of their 250th anniversary celebrations. HBC was chartered on the 2nd of May in the year 1670. Their main business was furs, primarily beaver pelts, hence the name of the magazine, The Beaver. In 1994, the magazine was acquired by Canada's National History Society. In 2010, the History Society changed the name from The Beaver to Canada's History because, apparently, an assortment of half-wits thought the original title of the magazine was disgustingly sexist. This issue contains: Colours of the Farm by Donald Lamont, illustrated by Marion E. Barker; Fuel for the Home Fires by Desmond Morton and Cheryl Smith; Louis Slotin and the Invisible Killer by Martin Zeilig; Tyrant of the Ottawa Valley - planting the Clan McNab in colonial Canada by Bernard Shaw; North with the Red River Brigade by William Cornwallis King; A Surgeon on the Bay by W. B. Ewart; and Tourists of Old Montreal by Clarence Epstein; along with an assortment of features. Size: 4to. Marion E. Barker; (ilustrador). Book.…
