Description:
Book Club Associates, London, 1977. Cloth, 4to, 24 cm,. xiv, 369 pp, ills. From the time of the conquistadores until the 1900s, archaeology in the Americas witnessed an era of unbridled speculation, frenzied excavations, and conflicting attitudes toward the Indians. Elusive Treasure describes the major controversies surrounding such varied topics as the Spaniards' treatment of the Aztecs and Incas, the destruction of the North American Indians' mysterious ancient burial mounds, and the discovery of the Seven Lost Cities of Cibola. Professor Fagan's ability to synthesize enormous bodies of literature and history on the subject ensures this work as a comprehensive display of the most puzzling questions concerning Indian civilization. Elusive Treasure contains a lucid and free-flowing text balanced with contemporary portraits, lithographs, artefacts, and site photographs. This work will stand as an unimaginable treasure for armchair archaeologists." - from the blurb. Fine in slightly…

Description:
Purnell Book Services, London, 1975 reprint edition. Cloth, 8vo,. xv, 290 pp, ills, plates. The Indus is one of the most dramatic rivers in the world, in both historical and geographical terms. It rises in the Forbidden Land of Tibet, from a spring called 'the mouth of the Lion'. In the first part of its course it rushes down between the greatest mountain ranges in the world, the Himalayas and the Karakoram; for hundreds of years monks and missionaries and merchants have travelled along its gorges, explorers and spies of many nationalities have probed the white deserts above it, and soldiers have made war in the high passes that command it. Under the shadow of Nanga Parbat the mountains crowd the river close and force it to turn south, through country as wild and ruthless as the tribes that live there. Then, breaking out of the mountains, for nearly a thousand miles, the Indus wanders across the plains of Pakistan to the Arabian Sea, crossing the routes that innumerable invaders of India…

Description:
Viking, London, first edition, 1993. Cloth, 4to, 30 cm,. 192 pp, profusely illustrated. From the blurb: "The accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 heralded an age of unprecedented technological, economic and imperial expansion. Nowhere was this revolution more apparent than in the maritime world, which underwent a fundamental transition as it emerged into the twentieth century. The invention of photography in 1839 coincided with this great surge of material progress, and the new art was enthusiastically seized upon to bear witness. In the next hundred years the camera was to document every aspect, from great shipbuilding projects to obscure fishing villages. The second half of the nineteenth century saw the sailing vessel reach its most developed form before it was swiftly superseded by the steamship. The increasing importance of Britain's empire and the expansion of international trade placed greater emphasis than ever before on the protection of the world's sea lanes, as the 'wooden…
