About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked in a bright, square and tight binding. Previous owner's name is on the top outside corner of the front free end paper. Small red remainder marks are on the edges of the text block. Illustrations included. Price unclipped DJ has very slight wear at the outer edges and a very small hole at the bottom outside front corner. Store labels attached. From the front DJ flap, "...this book weaves together into a richly fluent narrative the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, the changing patterns of indigenous life over the millennia, the complex history of slavery, the devastating impact of European settlers, and the fragile reemergence of independent nations. John Reader has given us an extraordinary biography of an infinitely fascinating continent."
