8vo, 16 pages, contained in a complete 200 page monthly issue of the Geographische phemeriden, attractively bound in brown cloth with marbled boards and gilt spine. Very good condition and very crisp inside. Text in German. This is the 1804 Edition of an obscure and rare Geographical publication issued in Weimar/ Germany in the late 1700's and early 1800's named 'Geographische Ephemeriden.' It contains a portrait of Hernando Maghellan and a 16 page report about the Spanish Voyages to North America. Little was known about these Spanish voyages as the Spanish kept things secret. In 1791, Alessandro Malaspina undertook a search for the Northwest Passage. He surveyed the Alaska coast from Yakutat Bay to Prince William Sound. At Yakutat Bay, the expedition made contact with the Tlingit. The expedition's scientists made a study of the tribe, recording information on social mores, language, economy, warfare methods, and burial practices. During the return to Mexico, Malaspina's expedition spent a month at the Spanish outpost in Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island (see below). The expedition made a study of the Nootka. The two ships then sailed south to Mexico, stopping at the Spanish settlement and mission at Monterey, California on the way. Simultaneously an expedition under Francisco de Eliza, exploring the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered an entrance to the Strait of Georgia, which prompted further investigation. In Acapulco, Malaspina took over two schooners, the Sutil and Mexicana, placed them under the command of one of his officers, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano, and had them sail north to explore the Strait of Georgia. Galiano's expedition took place in 1792 at the same time as that of George Vancouver. The two expeditions met in the Strait of Georgia and worked together to map the waters and establish the insularity of Vancouver Island

Milano, 1942, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 313/326 con una cartina e numerose fotografie. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

157 pages including index. Haida carvers on Canada's Pacific Coast have carved figures from black rock for about 150 years. The genesis of this book was when two dedicated collectors donated their works to the British Columbia Provincial Museum, thus assembling the largest and best collection of these carvings known to the Museum. The benefactors, Francis and Kathleen Reif, suggested that the Museum produce a well illustrated book as a definitive scholarly work on the black, Haida carvings. This volume is the result. Contains dozens of excellent black and white photographs plus extensive text and descriptions. Clean, bright and unmarked with zero wear. Book

br. Benché l'Australia sia stata l'ultimo dei continenti raggiunti dall'espansionismo europeo, vanta una cultura millenaria che negli ultimi due secoli si è trovata a confronto con la storia, la legislazione e i costumi dei "nuovi arrivati". Questo libro racconta in che modo gli europei hanno imposto la propria presenza sul territorio, e descrive come sono stati introdotti lo sviluppo tecnologico e delle istituzioni perché divenissero fondanti nel processo di colonizzazione. Illustra inoltre le difficoltà, e la conseguente frustrazione, incontrate dalla popolazione locale nel tentativo di riconoscersi in tradizioni condivise, mentre all'orizzonte si affacciavano sempre nuovi abitanti. Oggi, però, dal momento in cui possiamo affermare che la colonizzazione ebbe inizio con una vera e propria invasione, gli australiani sembrano essersi riconciliati con il proprio passato, in attesa di nuove sfide per il futuro.
