Burdette, one of America's earliest and most celebrated professional newspaper columnists and Lyceum lecturers. Collector & Bibliographic Highlights: Definitive State A Printing: This copy is highly prized by bibliophiles as the true State A of the first edition, meeting all premium criteria for serious collectors of Gilded Age humor. The Famous Title Piece: Burdette's legendary lecture, "The Rise and Fall of the Mustache," was an absolute cultural phenomenon, delivered on stage over 5,000 times. This volume stands as its very first permanent printing. Charming Period Artwork: Heavily enhanced throughout with fantastic, characteristic illustrations by R.W.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Of all avian groups, birds of prey in particular have long been a prominent subject of fascination in many human societies. This book demonstrates that the art and materiality of human engagements with raptors has been significant through deep time and across the world, from earliest prehistory to Indige…nous thinking in the present day. Drawing on a wide range of global case studies and a plurality of complementary perspectives, it explores the varied and fluid dynamics between humans and birds of prey as evidenced in this diverse art-historical and archaeological record. From their depictions as powerful beings in visual art and their important roles in Indigenous mythologies, to the significance of their body parts as active agents in religious rituals, the intentional deposition of their faunal remains and the display of their preserved bodies in museums, there is no doubt that birds of prey have been figures of great import for the shaping of human society and culture. However, several of the chapters in this volume are particularly concerned with looking beyond the culture-nature dichotomy and human-centred accounts to explore perspectival and other post-humanist thinking on human-raptor ontologies and epistemologies. The contributors recognize that human-raptor relationships are not driven exclusively by human intentionality, and that when these species meet they relate-to and become-with one another. This 'raptor-with-human'-focused approach allows for a productive re-framing of questions about human-raptor interstices, enables fresh thinking about established evidence and offers signposts for present and future intra-actions with birds of prey.
