hardcover. 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.

Zustand: Gut. 94 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, Abrieb auf Deckel. - The images projected by Edward Curtis speak with urgency and timeliness. The message is of people and of culture; it is of a multitude of ways of being and living, of acting and interacting, and of qualities of relationship. Across the total collection of text and plates the essential message is of a crisis. It is a crisis not exclusively related to survival of the American Indian and his cultures. It is a more general crisis terribly real for all men today, Indian and non-Indian. The critical problem is not of a vanishing race, as Curtis's generation saw it; for we now understand that providentially the Indians as a people are far from vanishing. The problem, rather, is rooted in a continuing and ever expanding process of detraditionalization whereby dimensions of the sacred are eliminated from life and from being and acting. No men are immune from the pervasiveness of this process. ISBN 0912334347 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.
