    Paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. Prestel, March 1999. Paperback. Near Fine. Unmarked. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Light rubbing to covers. Light reading wear to corners with a curl to bottom corner. A book that clearly has been used, but remains in very nice condition. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. More than 600 photographs, nine detailed maps, bibliography, index of ethnic groups. 620 pages. 9.75 x 11.75 x 1.75 inches Heavy item (7 pounds): extra charges for expedited or international shipping. First published on the occasion of an exhibition held October 4, 1995 - January 21, 1996 at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. This magnificent celebration of the world's oldest and most diverse artistic traditions is the definitive book on African art. Ranging from the oldest known human artifact, circa 1.6 million BC, to pieces made within living memory, the objects collected in this extraordinary volume reflect a continent of enormous cultural and historical scope. Arranged chronologically within seven geographical sections, it offers an astonishing array of sculptures in wood, bronze, stone, and gold, as well as mural paintings, ceremonial pieces, ceramics, jewelry, and textiles culled from private and public collections around the world. Commentary by renowned scholars illuminates the cultural and historical significance of these pieces, and in-depth authoritative texts highlight critical aspects of each region. Together these words and images take readers on an artistic grand tour through a continent of unparalleled diversity, and towards the thrilling discovery of not one Africa, but many. Contents: Preface by Cornel West; Why Africa? Why Art? by Kwame Anthony Appiah; Europe, African Art, and the Uncanny by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.; The African Past by Peter Garlake; Ancient Egypt and Nubia (89 objects) by Edna R. Russmann and Laslo Torok; Eastern Africa (67 objects) by John Mack; Southern Africa (48 objects) by Patricia Davison; Central Africa (140 objects) by Daniel Biebuyck and Frank Herreman; West Africa and the Guinea Coast (142 objects) by John Picton; Sahel and Savanna (60 objects) by René A.

    Hardback. Zustand: New. 1st. Major Peter Weaver's military career is remarkable for its breadth, from the Royal Tank Corps, to the infantry, but also as an engineer and on colonial and special operations. The story is told using his own words, supported by extensive research to confirm what at times seem unbelievable tales. Having lost his father in 1916, school proved a challenge academically, but he excelled at sports, as he would throughout his life. Thwarted in his attempts to become an officer, he was involved in a series of increasingly dubious business ventures.Hearing his mother and sister's first-hand accounts of the rise of Hitler and Nazism, he joined the Territorials. The outbreak of war saw him rapidly promoted, volunteering for the Auxiliary Units, the secret stay behind force created in case of German invasion. His section of Dorset Regiment men set high standards in training, attracting the attention of Lord Lovat. Considered too important for his commando, they were instead later recruited into the SAS. Paddy Mayne, SAS commander, was impressed by Weaver's leadership during a near disaster. Weaver parachuted into France on Operation Bulbasket, one of the few to escape a deadly ambush there. After specialist ski training, he fought in Germany on Operation Archway and was present for the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Following VE Day he landed in Norway, nominally disarming the German garrison, but finding time for sports, drink and the hospitality of local women. Part of a little known SAS deployment in Crete, he later had spells with the Sudan Defence Force and training the Greek Army. More conventional soldiering with the Berkshire Regiment still saw him in combat in the Canal Zone.Weaver lived his life to the full, enjoying the Army, fast cars and beautiful women, though struggling to treat those he loved as he should. Drama followed him but he always managed to get away somehow.…
