Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a remarkable report on significant expeditions into unknown regions to the interior of New Guinea, a journey of arduous climbing, scaling, or circumventing fragile sheer rose-colored limestone faces, navigating through valleys and gorges, and rafting powerful rivers, in the midst of perpetual earth tremors and landslides. This exciting journey, which also endured injury and shortage of food, was rewarded with the discovery of the sources of both the Palmer and Strickland rivers, of two additional previously unknown streams, and also of a pass to the main mountain range. Includes entertaining anecdotes of encounters with indigenous tribes such as attempted robbery from the traveler's camp on the Fly river, communication with signs, and the introduction of tobacco to the native populations. With a fantastic route map, not only showing two journeys, but also describing geographical features, placing huts and villages, outlining international and colonial boundaries, and indicating vast unexplored territory in the east.
Item is in ORIGINAL Condition, With Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!! Notes & Condition: The author's scientific survey features Lake Raeside, Ora Banda, Niagara, Cue, Kanowna, and more, as he examines vegetation, land forms, cliffs, dry lakes and their origins, stream-lake systems, stone fields and desert features. One of the principal objects of Mr. Jutson's paper is to suggest that the lakes as they now exist are not simply portions of old river-valleys, though he agrees that such may have been the beginning of their history. In his opinion the lake-basins are still in process of formation, and owe their origin largely, though not wholly, to the action of the wind, etc. Thought-Provoking Geological Survey of Western Australia Lake-Basins and their Origin! 20 pages, including a full-page sketch map, a few in-text sketch illustrations. Plus photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Small chip to front cover, otherwise this is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition.

DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. RIMANENZA DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Gli aborigeni la chiamavano Kabbarli, la "Nonna", ed erano sicuri che non li avrebbe mai abbandonati, mentre per la sua gente non era che un'eccentrica. La sua vita è leggenda, ma seguirne lo svolgimento anno dopo anno è impossibile. Julia Blackburn concentra le sue ricerche sui trent'anni che, a partire dal 1913, Daisy Bates trascorse sotto una tenda in località dai nomi avventurosi. Compie un viaggio in Australia con tutta la famiglia, interroga testimoni, legge diari e articoli, insegue i pensieri che Daisy affidò a migliaia di brandelli di carta cuciti insieme a formare rozzi quaderni. Non resta molto: l'unico libro pubblicato dalla Bates non fornisce risposte. L'autrice sceglie così di prestare la propria voce alla leggenda. Julia Blackburn è autrice di saggi e di due romanzi, entrambi finalisti all'Orange Prize. Vive in Inghilterra. In Italia sono stati pubblicati Cavalcare il coccodrillo. Vita di un naturalista.Charles Waterton 1782-1865 (Bollati Boringhieri,1993), L’ultima isola dell’imperatore. Un viaggio a San’Elena (Instar libri 1997) e Daisy Bates nel deserto.
