These brave adventurers roamed the world from Greenland to the Volga and from the Mediterranean to the North American coast during the ninth and tenth centuries. Certainly the religion of the Northern gods highest point of devotion and reached fervour during this period. But the mythology of Scandinavia, Germany and Iceland can be traced back as far as the Bronze Age. The development of the myths over so many centuries and in various lands in itself makes a fascinating story, and indeed one for which evidence is continually being sought and found. Scandinavian mythology reflects the Norsemen's love of battle and conflict. Death and violence are rarely far away. for that was the only life that the early warriors knew. They believed that those who died heroic deaths in battle went to Valhalla. There each night they feasted on never failing meat and mead. During the day they fought once more. but as night approached, the fallen were raised up again to partake of the feast. The author brings vividly to life this world of mighty warriors, ruthless gods, giants, dwarfs, elves and strange beasts. She shows how Christianity gradually spread and overcame the old religion. But for many years stories and carvings showed the two religions strangely intermingled. Hilda Davidson has made a special study of the archaeology and literature of the Norse people and has written several authoritative works on various aspects of their culture. This is the first fully illustrated popular treatment of Scandinavian mythology for many years, Its splendid illustrations are drawn from many countries and include some archaeological finds not previously published. 24 pages in colour. Over 100 black and white illustrations. Index. …

The world at large is just beginning to appreciate that the Eskimos are creative artists of considerable talent. Yet, as Cottie Burland shows in this book, the work of Eskimo artists today is part of an artistic and cultural heritage which goes back thousands of years and links Eskimos right across the arctic world from Greenland to Siberia. Over the centuries Eskimos have carved and engraved the tools of their everyday life with great skill and sensitivity. In the hands of the artist~craftsman ceremonial masks, hunting knives, eye~shades and even cribbage boards have been transformed into objects of beauty and often of magical significance. For the animals and men which appear in Eskimo art are not simple forms but are the images of a supernatural world where gods and demons are ever present. Being so close to nature Eskimos believe in the unity of all living things and have evolved a folklore which expresses their icy experience of life and death. By understanding their world we can discover the full significance of traditional Eskimo art and can increase our appreciation and enjoyment of Eskimo art now. One hundred illustrations, many chosen from private collections and especially photographed for the book, help the reader to trace the history of Eskimo art from prehistoric times to the present day. The author, C. A. Burland, is a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute and a member of the Societe des Americanistes de Paris. His abiding interest in the arts of the Eskimo began when he joined the staff of the British Museum in 1925.…

His highly individual work, completely in the modern idiom, has brought an exhilarating creative talent to the urban aspect of Japan. Increasingly also in other countries his inventive genius has been sought for large and important projects. Even with the enormous range of buildings which he has created, each retains a freshness of conception. Tange has avoided static formulae and his achievement goes beyond facile enthusiasm and bears witness to an attitude of continuous and dedicated research. Right from the start of his career, as a student and then as a newly fledged architect in the forties, he won a whole succession of prizes. This early success was also marked by the selection of his design for the new Peace Centre in the reconstruction proqramme for Hiroshima, which brought him his initial widespread fame. For a period of now more than twenty years, he has continued to enhance his reputation with a wide range of awards and achievements. His giant stadium forthe Olympic Games at Tokyo in 1964 made him known throughout the world and brought him, in 1965, a gold medal from RIBA (the Royal Institute of British Architects) and in 1966 a special award from the League of Architects in New York. In the same year he was given honorary membership of the American Arts Association and awarded the gold medal of the International Architectural Association for his activities as an architect and town~planner. TodayTange is engaged in a number of ambitious projects. He is building a Sports and Arts Centre at Flushing Meadow, New York, a university campus atTaiwan, an airport on the Persian Gulf and new administrative buildings in Bologna in Italy. In Japan he is working on the completion of a plan for Kyoto and helped to design the 1970 Osaka World Fair. The dynamic career of this outstanding Japanese architect is described in this book in a full account by Paolo Biani amplified by quotations byTange himself and backed by biographical details, a complete list of his buildings and an excellent bibliography. His work is shown in 49 black~and~white and 63 colour illustrations. …
