Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octavo, hardcover, VG in VG, lightly browned at edges, dj. 204 pp. Photo illustrated. Inside look at the horse racing and breeding industry, using Secretariat as a case study. Story of what happened after all the hoopla over the Triple-Crown-winning "Superhorse" died away and "the true value of Secretariat was put to the test. A syndicate made up of market breeders from the upper reaches of industry, real estate, insurance and banking had purchased shares of Secretariat, each share worth $190, 000--a total cash outlay of over $6 million. And each share now permitted its owner to breed one mare a year to the ' Superhorse, ' though without guarantee that he was actually a superstud. In fact, despite his unequaled track record, Secretariat's virility had been publicly slighted. According to one medical report, he was, in fact, a superdud.…

In this respect it is not a sequel to Kon~Tiki, Aku~Aku, The Ra Expeditions, or Fatu Hiva. Early Man and the Ocean is an anthology of reports and speeches previously published independently, which I have here combined and edited to form a coherent book. The original idea of such a composition came from Dr. Karl Jettmar, Professor of Archaeology at the University of Heidelberg, and a German version edited by him was published in 1975 under the title Zwischen den Kontinenten. It was hoped that the book would give guidance to the many people who have followed the discussions about human migration routes and cultural origins that developed in the wake of the primitive vessels Kon~Tiki and Ra when they, contrary to expert opinion given in advance managed to traverse the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans.…

[gift inscription (non-authorial) plus previous owner's name and circumstances of acquisition, all in ink on front endpaper, otherwise a nice clean copy with no discernible wear; the jacket has just a touch of edgewear]. This Sherlock Holmes play, an adaptation of Conan Doyle's "The Sign of the Four," was first performed on Broadway, where it ran for 236 performances during the 1978/1979 season, with Paxton Whitehead as Holmes. Keith Michell took over the role for the subsequent London production, and when it finally made it to Los Angeles in December 1980, we got the only-in-L.A. casting of Charlton Heston as Holmes. (With, weirdly, Jeremy Brett as Dr. Watson -- who must have been eyeing Heston the whole time, and thinking "I believe I could improve on this.") Heston also starred in the TV adaptation, filmed a decade later. Illustrated by (dj) Robert Van Nutt (ilustrador).…

It was Heyerdahl who led the first full~scale archaeological dig on Easter Island~and helped solve the age~old riddle of that loneliest and most mysterious of islands. And it was Heyerdahl who piloted Ra II, an Egyptian reed boat, from North Africa to the shores of the Caribbean~proving that men from the earliest known civilizations could have reached the New World by sea. These adventures and discoveries have revolutionized our understanding of early man~and the papers collected here present a fascinating survey of Heyerdahl's pioneering work . its stunning diversity and its startling implications about the role of deep~sea navigation in the spread of culture throughout the ancient world. The result is a challenging and exciting look at early man and the ocean~a record of the extraordinary scientific evidence collected by one of the world's most ingenious and celebrated explorers.

With Preface, four sections of b/w photographs on unpaged leaves, Notes, Bibliography, Discography, Filmography, and Index. Ferris examines the tradition of Mississippi Delta blues and African American folkways with the text divided into four sections: "Blues Roots;" "Blues Composition;" "Blues House Party;" and "Letters." Leland, Mississippi bluesman James "Son" Thomas (1926-1993) is one of the primary musicians featured in the book as are Shelby "Poppa Jazz" Brown, Wallace "Pine Top" Johnson, Lee Kizart, Jasper Love, and Maudie Shirley. Trained as a folklorist and cultural anthropologist, scholar William Ferris is a leading authority on African-American music and has authored/edited ten books as well as produced fifteen documentary films regarding the American South and the Mississippi Delta region. Currently the Joel Williamson Eminent Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ferris has taught at Jackson State University, Yale University, and the University of Mississippi (where he co-founded the Center for the Study of Southern Culture in 1979) and also chaired the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1997-2001. BLUES FROM THE DELTA is frequently lauded as among the best studies of Mississippi blues. This book greatly expands upon Ferris' original essay which was merely 111 pages and was published in London by Studio Vista Ltd. in 1970.
