Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mustang is a magical and mystical Shangri-La. Hidden for centuries behind the Himalaya, this high and wild land has remained almost untarnished. As Mustang stirs into modernity, the spirit of old Tibet lingers on in its cultural treasures: walled cities, crumbling fortresses, ancient monasteries, inaccessible cave dwellings and secretive religious art. The wildest dreams of nature unfold: a panorama of strangely eroded fairytale outcrops, pinnacles and twisted turrets. Mysterious canyons and fantastically etched, contorted cliffs are painted in a myriad of vivid colours. The aim of this trekking guide to Mustang is to introduce not only the different trails, but also the amazing, almost unique, culture. Each of the monasteries and hidden cave shrines of Mustang holds a spellbinding allure. In one or two of the caves, even stranger and very dark secrets from the ancient past have been unearthed. Mustang is undoubtedly changing, but no earthly mortal can tear apart the phenomenal sights of nature here - only nature herself and those fiery, hot-headed demons that are suppressed by the stronger forces of the cosmos. The fifth edition of this ground-breaking guide, packed with cultural detail, is an indispensable companion for those discovering this lost paradise, whether partly by new roads, occasionally on four legs, or entirely on two feet.

Very good. Light toning along original centerfold. Verso repairs to margin tears. Blank on verso. Size 31.25 x 22.5 Inches. This is an 1867 John Weyss and Nathaniel Michler map of Appomattox Court House, Virginia, where the American Civil War came to a close. The map depicts the region from Appomattox Station on the South Side Railroad to the Jenkins homestead and from the homestead of L. Marshall to Evergreen Station. Beautifully engraved, the area surrounding Appomattox Court House is illustrated in detail, with numerous homesteads noted throughout. Roads traverse the area, along with the South Side Railroad, and rivers and streams are noted. Forests and hills are also included. Troop locations and movements, however, are not depicted. Appomattox Court House and the American Civil War Appomattox Court House is the name of a village in central Virginia. Originally known as Clover Hill, it was renamed Appomattox Court House after its newly built courthouse. The hamlet declined in importance through the 1840s and 1850s, particularly after the rail network bypassed it in favor of nearby Appomattox Station. During the Civil War, Appomattox Court House consisted of about 'five houses, a tavern, and a courthouse' along a single street, which itself was boarded up at one end to keep the cows out.' This sleepy hamlet was nonetheless the site of the final battle of the American Civil War, the Battle of Appomattox Court House, and of the surrender of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant. Today, Appomattox Court House is a National Historical Park and is administered by the National Park Service. Census and Publication History This map was surveyed and drawn by Major John E. Weyss under the command of Brevet Brigadier General Nathaniel Michler, engraved by Julius Bien, and published by the War Department in Military Maps illustrating the Operations of the Armies of the Potomac and James in 1869. While this map is well represented in institutional collections, it is rarely on the private market. References: Rumsey 3881.014. Philips (Atlases) P843.…

Very good. Light wear along original folds. Several small tears along borders and fold junctions professionally repaired. Ship with book. Size 22.25 x 15.75 Inches. A scarce 1905 map of Los Angeles by the Commercial Printing House for the Granite Securities Company, with an unusual bird's-eye view of the region on the verso. A Closer Look Covering Downtown Los Angeles and its environs, this map provides a glimpse of Los Angeles when it was growing at a tremendous pace (the city's population tripled between 1900 and 1910). Streets are labeled and indexed according to a grid surrounding the map. Red lines trace the 'yellow car' streetcar system of the Los Angeles Railway (owned by Henry Huntington), as indicated in the small legend towards the top-right. Additional electric rail lines are also indicated, including the Pacific Electric and three additional lines, most of which Huntington also owned and all of which were absorbed by the Pacific Electric in the following years. The verso displays a bird's-eye view of Greater Los Angeles, including Hollywood, Santa Monica, Long Beach, and Pasadena. Many towns sprang up nearly overnight in this region due to the ongoing oil boom in the early 20th century. Both local (streetcar and interurban electric) and long-distance railways (including the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe) are traced. One quite unusual feature of this map is the location of the port of Los Angeles adjacent to Santa Monica, near today's Pacific Palisades neighborhood. This resulted from an acrimonious disagreement between two influential groups in the city over the placement of the port. The Free Harbor Fight The dispute over the location of the Port of Los Angeles, also known as the Free Harbor Fight, bitterly divided the elites of Los Angeles and California more broadly in the late 19th century and tied into broader struggles over the relative economic might and political power of Northern and Southern California, as well as the influence of the Southern Pacific Railroad over the state's politicians. By the 1880s, it was clear that Los Angeles was on track to becoming a large city and that Santa Monica Bay, to the city's west, could serve as the location of one of the premier ports on the western coast of North America. Two locations were floated for the construction of a large, modern port: one at San Pedro, which provided a very good natural harbor, and one at Santa Monica, which was less naturally suited but already had a rail link with Los Angeles and the rest of California via the Southern Pacific. Though perhaps convenient, this rail link would also give the Southern Pacific and its president, Collis P. Huntington, a monopoly on access to the port, allowing it to charge whatever price it wanted. In anticipation of being chosen as the port's site, in the early 1890s, Southern Pacific built what was then the longest wharf in the world, extending nearly a mile into the bay, at Santa Monica. An intense campaign of lobbying and political pressure played out in the closing years of the century. Local elites in Los Angeles, including the Chamber of Commerce and L.A. Times editor Harrison Gray Otis powerfully advocated for the 'Free Port' at San Pedro. Knowing that federal funding was essential to completing such a large port, both sides lobbied hard in Washington, D.C., for their proposed site. In 1896, Congress established an engineering commission to determine which site would be best. Despite Huntington's vast fortune and powerful influence in the U.S. Congress, the 'Free Port' advocates benefitted from the surprising pluckiness of California Senator Stephen White, who amended the bill establishing the commission to prevent monopolistic practices by Southern Pacific if Santa Monica were chosen. He then spoke at length on the floor of the Senate about Southern Pacific's other monopolistic practices and domineering influence in California's politics. The following year, the engineering commission determined that San.…

Very good. Accompanied by original envelope. Map of China on verso. Wear on old fold lines. Size 21.25 x 31 Inches. A scarce March 5, 1932, map of Shanghai, China, issued by Osaka-based Cross-House publishing firm. The map was issued to illustrate the Shanghai Ceasefire Agreement (??????), a peace treaty between China and Japan that made Shanghai a demilitarized zone. It follows the January 28 Incident, also known as the Shanghai Incident (January 28 - March 3, 1932), a conflict in the Shanghai International Settlement between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. A Closer Look The map's focus centers on the concession regions, using color coding to distinguish between the British and American Concessions (red), the Japanese-controlled region (Orange), and the French Concession (Yellow). Along the bottom of the map, there is a dramatic view of the Bund - marking this map as part of a lineage of similar maps by Fusazo Sugie (????), although it is distinct and only stylistically related to the others. The verso (back) features a large map of China, Manchuria, and Korea - a region that would soon be embroiled in war. Shanghai Incident of 1932 The conflict of January 28th, 1932, also known as the Shanghai Incident or Shanghai War, was a precursor to the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937 - 1845), which would begin a few years later. Following several alleged attacks on Japanese nationals, the Japanese launched a blitzkrieg-style attack on Chinese Nationalist forces with the supposed intent of protecting Japanese civilians residing in the Hongkou District, an informal Japanese Concession within the International Settlement. The Chinese Nationalist troops concentrated in Zhabei to protect the strategically important Shanghai Railway Station, through which supplies and reinforcements could be readily delivered. The Chinese resistance proved stubborn, and both sides established perimeters along the Huangpu River. A similar perimeter was established to the south, along the Wusong River, to protect the British and French Concessions. Nonetheless, the Japanese pursued their attack, using gunboats on the Wusong River and Huangpu River to harry the Chinese. Ultimately, the two sides fought to a near standstill. On March 5th, the League of Nations forced the Japanese to sign a ceasefire, the Shanghai Ceasefire Agreement (??????), with China, turning Shanghai into a demilitarized zone. Shanghai International Settlement The Shanghai International Settlement was created in 1863 when the British and American Shanghai enclaves merged. These concessions had been granted to England and the United States as part of the Unequal Treaties that followed the Opium Wars. From about 1854, the settlements were governed by the Shanghai Municipal Council, a British-dominated board of government officials and powerful merchants. The board issued restrictions limiting Chinese habitation on International Settlement territory and oversaw the construction of public services, including trams, a sewage system, highways, and port buildings. The International Settlement expanded several times in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In addition, they constructed and administered Extra-Settlement Roads into the surrounding country, which further allowed for informal expansion. It became an enclave of peace and prosperity when the Japanese invaded Shanghai in 1937, but this abruptly came to an end with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the subsequent invasion of the International Settlement in 1941. After the war the International Settlement lands were returned to Chinese sovereignty. The Bund The Bund is a waterfront area in central Shanghai. The name derives from the old German term, 'bund,' meaning embankment or causeway. Many Asian colonial cities supported a Bund, but none became more famous or iconic than the Shanghai Bund. The area centers on the section of Zhongshan Road within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along t. Signed by Author(s).…
