Zustand: very good. Durham : Duke University Press, 1993. Orig. cloth binding. Dustjacket. 168 pp. 24 cm. (Duke monographs in Medieval and Renaissance studies, ISSN 0193-5054 ; no. 13). - Historians know a great deal about how English thinkers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw the "documentable" past, but relatively little about how they perceived times stretching back beyond history. Arthur B. Ferguson shows in this elegant essay that prehistory had great meaning in Renaissance England. Commentators of various sorts - from poets to antiquaries - looked to the most distant past for the vanishing point that would perfect their historical perspective and orient them in an age of increasing change. In this pursuit they had often to let imagination serve the purposes of interpretation. Though largely speculative, their efforts reveal much about the intellectual life of Renaissance England. Since the Bible left little room for speculation on prehistoryin fact no room at all for the concept itself Utter Antiquity concentrates on myth and legend outside of the biblical context and on those who conjured prehistory out of these sources. A subtle conflict between belief and skepticism emerges from these pages, as Ferguson reveals how some Renaissance writers struggled with ancient explanations that flouted reason and experience, while others sidestepped such doubts by relating prehistory to man's social evolution. By isolating and analyzing topics such as skepticism, rationalism, and poetic history, Ferguson illuminates the development of historical consciousness in early modern England.

The pueblos and cliff dwellings they built during their halcyon days between 1100 and 1500 are the most spectacular ruins north of Mexico. In this book, all of the significant and accessible Anasazi ruins are photographed and described in detail. Many of the photographs are aerial views showing the interrelationships of the structures and the intrinsic beauty of the settings. All extant Anasazi ruins are included here, but special attention is paid to the magnificent sites of Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, and Kaytena. Also included are illustrations of rock art and examples of the delicate jewelry and beautiful ceramics that have survived. Because the Anasazi left no written records, interpretations of their culture vary dramatically. The authors present the most current research and a balanced view of contradictory theories, making this book a readable, engaging, and authoritative study in an ancient people and the places they inhabited. Anyone interested in the prehistoric cultures of the Southwest will find this lavishly illustrated volume both informative and delightful to look at."-- Publisher ; FINE. Book.…

From the library of American journalist George E. Sokolsky, his bookplate is laid down on the front paste down. George Sokolsky was an admirer of the Russian Revolution as a young man and on graduating from the Columbia School of Journalism he moved to the Soviet Union to write for the Russian Daily News. However following the overthrow of the Kerensky government by the Bolsheviks he became completely disillusioned with revolution and in the words of Bennett Cerf, a former classmate, "Suddenly the flaming radical, Sokolsky, became the flaming reactionary, George Sokolsky, and one of the most important columnists in the United States of America." Leaving Russia he arrived in China to begin a 14 year residence there. During this period he became the friend and confidente of many important people of the time including Sun Yat-sen, Soong May-ling and others while writing for The Shanghai Gazette. On returning to the US he became very influential in right wing circles becoming an intimate of J. Edgar Hoover and a great supporter of Senator Joseph McCarthy.…
