Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The history of Indian culture has its epicentre in the north of the country. It is here, in the Ganges plain and neighbouring areas, that the great spiritual movements that gave life to the complex Hindu universe and alternative beliefs of Buddhism and Jainism were developed. The aim of this guide is to offer the widest possible perspective on northern India's various artistic phenomena through the use of text, pictures, maps, and sections of detailed cultural descriptions. It is hoped that by illustrating not just the buildings but also the metaphysical and symbolic meanings that underlie the works of art, the reader will be helped to understand the deepest essence of this civilisation and be given opportunities to better comprehend man and his aspirations.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When English travellers discovered Lucerne, Interlaken and Saint Moritz between the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, they were astounded. The Alps, with majestic Jungfrau and alluring Pilatus, stirred their imagination, giving rise to a thriving tourist industry. Proust's pages, Turner's brushstrokes and Brahms' notes masterfully described the secrets of an idyllic country: Switzerland. And altogether, the modern country, with its cities - Zurich, Basel and Geneva - banks and leading industries, has preserved an old charm that makes it special among European countries. It is, in some ways, incorrect to speak of Switzerland: it would be more accurate to speak of a collection of very different languages, traditions and landscapes, united in a single "container". This is where the charm of the country lies - in this great variety of different images in a very small area. The book is packed with photographs and text by a very special observer, the Swiss journalist Moreno Bernasconi, allowing even those unfamiliar with the country to become acquainted with its historical and cultural aspects and admire its beauty.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The purpose of this book is to describe by text and illustration the extraordinary tomb of this seemingly unimportant king of the late Eighteenth Dynasty, with its exceptional contents. An introductory chapter sets the historical scene for the reign of Tutankhamun, placing it in the context of the anciently reviled period of heresy associated with King Akhenaten, and its disintegration after his death. Tutankhamun ruled on the point of the change back to a traditional Egyptian regime, with the rehabilitation of the old gods, a change, which was consolidated after his death by his general Horemheb. A second chapter discusses the archeology of the discovery of the tomb by Howard Carter in 1922. It will show, more clearly than has previously been appreciated, how Carter's obsession with the Valley of the Kings and, secondarily with the Amarna Period and its aftermath, developed from his earliest days in Egypt, the course of this search for 'the' royal tomb.The drama of the final season, with the discovery, the revelation of a virtually un-robbed royal tomb's contents, and the poignant death of the Earl of Caernarfon, provides the element of the Greek tragedy to this unique event. A large selection of the objects found in the tomb is described in the main body of the book. Colour photographs specially taken for this publication accompany the descriptive texts, which place the objects in their distinctive settings as exceptional example of the creativity of the ancient Egyptian artists and craftsmen.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Atlantic, the Red Sea, the Caribbean, the South Pacific-here are all the oceans in all colors and aspects: clear, tropical waters; turbulent open seas; immense plains of water seen from space; magical icy polar oceans; and delicate and frothy photographs from inside powerful waves. The Sea's camera eye emerges from underwater-from the multicolored coral reefs and underwater wrecks and washes on to sandy beaches, coral reefs, cliffs, and volcanic islands to observe the life of coastal villages, ports, and on ships at sea. Another chapter deals with sea creatures: predators and prey, the brightly hued, the powerful, and the delicate life of our oceans. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Cats have always been important to humans, symbolizing qualities such as tenderness, discretion and elegance. Wild and nomadic, or domestic and cuddly, they are the favourite animals of those who appreciate detachment and independence, but also affection. Though small compared to their large cousins in the wild, cats have characteristics in common with lions, leopards and tigers: they are predators, even if their instinct is blunted by domestic life, and are sinuous and agile, playful, intelligent and pitiless. Innovative in format and size, this book offers an almost three-dimensional form to present the pictures 'stolen' by specialized photographers from the everyday lives of these animals. The excellent photographs and texts written by leading zoologists and specialized journalists are brought together in an unusual 'cube' format that creates an elegant and ideal gift book, a pleasure to leaf through and a reward to study. This latest title in the best selling "Cube Books" series, is an ideal gift for cat lovers everywhere. It contains over 800 pages with high quality photography.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Frida the woman. Frida the artist. Frida the icon. Fragile and indomitable, she made herself a work of art, celebrating the beauty of imperfection. Hers was an existence made of passion, revolution, brightly coloured clothes, and paintings that mirrored her dances with death and love for life. A life like hers requires splendid images and intense text chronicling its many adventures. From her childhood to the accident, from her discovery of painting and the ties with extraordinary characters such as Andre Breton, Tina Modotti, Lev Trotsky, to her legendary marriage to Diego Rivera and her enchantment with the Casa Azul. This stunning book is a homage to the human being who became a symbol of emancipation and freedom. A hymn to diversity and joie de vivre, dedicated to all women of the world.
