About This Item
The dust jacket shows many small tears and other damages. The book seems to have escaped most of that. Pages appear clean, tight and unmarked. Full of information and illustrations, including many color and black and white photographs, plus reproductions of many paintings and drawings. The cloth cover of the book has a Native American blanked weave represented (see the last photo). This book will ship at over four pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
Reviews
On Jul 10 2007, SDENNEY said:
Part of the "Story of Man Library" series. "Dare flashing flues of a whale with intrepid seamen of the Pacific northwest and join in their elaborate potlatches. Play stickball -- "younger brother of war" -- with woodland farmers or go on an Iroquois raid. Count coup with Plains warriors, beseech rain gods with Hopi Snake dancers, learn that Indian languages -- where one word may contain all the elements of a sentence -- can hardly be called "primitive." Use the book's tribal supplement and 32 1/2-by-37 1/2-inch cultural map to discover details about nearly 600 tribes of the United States and Canada. More than 440 illustrations -- 361 in full color -- enrich this vivid acount of the American Indian." All of the illustrations are typical National Geographic quality.
