paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. 176 S. Eine Ecke bestossen, sonst gutes Exemplar. - The rock paintings of Zimbabwe are perhaps the least-known artistic treasures of Africa. In their abundance, variety, complexity, accuracy of observation, delicacy of execution and richness of symbolism, they are unsurpassed by any prehistoric art. This book, through detailed comparative analyses of a large number of these paintings, never before studied or illustrated, shows how the subjects were selected, how the paintings were executed, and the conventions that determined their styles and forms. The paintings are thousands of years old, and the culture of the Stone Age hunters and foragers who created them was extinguished so long ago that it does not survive even as a distant memory. However, through an understanding of the basic tenets of San societies that have been recorded or still survive in the Kalahari Desert and its fringes, the author has reconstructed something of the significance of the paintings to their creators. He places them in the context of the life and beliefs of the society that created them, explores the perceptions and ideas that they represent and interprets something of their symbolism.
