Description:
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1981. 334 pp including notes, bibliography and index. 24 pages of b/w photos and 3 maps. In 324 A.D. the city of Constantinople was founded as the New Rome. During its first three centuries the Byzantine world integrated Christianity fully within the Greco-Roman tradition. Through eleven centuries this fabulous civilization underwent profound tranformations; for example in the seventh century when the Persian invasion and Arab expansion initiated a process of disintergration, leading ultimately to the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Professor Mango exposes the shortcomings of the surviving historical records of Byzantine civilization on which previous studies have too frequently depended. The result is an absorbing study that reflects in its scope the wealth of its subject. It will appeal to both the specialist and the general reader. List of illustrations and chronelogical list of Byzantine Emperors provided. Price-intact dust jacket. A clean,…

Author's sixth book. A factual account of the greatest slaughter of animals in history...that of the buffaloes on the Great Plains. In 1871 hide hunters swarmed over the ranges diminishing original herds of 60 to 75 million buffalo to about 40 million. Then in a dozen years, the hunters reduced the animals to fewer than 1,000. The dramatic history of this butchery is told here in comprehensive detail for the first time. Battles between hunters and Indians are described. The book also tells of buffalo hunting for sport and describes Buffalo Bill's killing of buffaloes to feed the men who were building a railroad across the plains, but most of its pages are devoted to the hide hunters who mainly were responsible for the near extermination of this stately beast. Foreword by the author. A generous list…
