Complete with 111 Full-color photographs from the hardcover edition. The purpose of the Ra expeditions was to prove a possible link between the civilization of ancient Egypt and the New World. To do this, it was necessary to sail a sea-going ship made of papyrus reeds-a type of ship not built for over a thousand years, if ever across the breadth of the Atlantic. Scientific authorities and nautical experts alike derided the project as an impossible dream. This is the incredibly gripping saga of how Thor Heyerdahl and his extraordinary crew overcame every obstacle, including shipwreck, to make that dream come true.This book takes its place among the very greatest epics in the annals of man vs. the sea. Heyerdahl is the adventurer supreme. His book has a quality that sweeps it along as inexorably as the ocean currents which Heyerdahl believes were the conveyor belts of world culture. Anyone who enjoyed the thrills of KON-TIKI will take pleasure in the cruise of the paper boat.The book you see in the image is the actual book we have for sale.

The biography of Sir Andrew Marbot (1801-1831) contains within it an inquiry into the great age of Romanticism. Marbot's extraordinary and mysterious life is immersed in the intellectual landscape of the early 19th century. During his brief life, Marbot meets and converses with the likes of Wordsworth, Coleridge and De Quincey (who were frequent guests at his parents' estate in the north of England), as well as Goethe, Delacroix and Byron. Indeed, Marbot's life may aptly be described as Byronic, including two Grand Tours of the Continent, an intense emotional relationship with his mother, and an untimely death at the age of 30 by suicide, though even that is shrouded in mystery. Hildesheimer's biography aims to rediscover Marbot's pioneering work in art criticism, crediting him with the theory that regards the creativity of the genius as a deviation and seeks to uncover the motivations of the artist, anticipating the work of Freud by more than fifty years. This is a theoretical biography-more reconstruction of a mental landscape, to the extent that that is possible, than a mere recording and narration of empirical fact. A tour-de-force in any respect, Marbot brings to life an entire age and sensibility, as well as one of the most unusual figures of history and art. Twenty-four pages of black white and illustrations primarily consisting of portraits.…

This is the English translation of Juden in Deutschland von der Römerzeit bis zur Weimarer Republik Professor Nachum Tim Gidal (1909-1996) was a photojournalist, and in fact one of the great pioneers of modern photojournalism. His work appears, amongst other outlets, in Munchner Illustrierte Press, the London Picture Post, and Life magazine. He taught at the New School for Social Research in New York on aspects of visual communications. In 1980 he was awarded the Kavlin Prize and in 1983 the Erich Salomon Prize. This pictorial documentation is the life's work of Nachum Tim Gidal. Jews in Germany by Nachum T Gidal gives an account of Jewish culture and of the German Jews through pictures and commentary. It shows the beginning of Jewish life in Germany, and the flowering of Jewish culture which took place in the Middle Ages despite all the persecutions, the struggle for equal civil rights, and the contribution made by Jews to German culture. In his quest for the history of his people, he combines the objective realism of the photographic reporter with personal commitment. Marion Hedda Ilse Gräfin von Dönhoff (2 December 1909 - 11 March 2002) was a German journalist who participated in the resistance against Nazism, along with Helmuth James Graf von Moltke, Peter Yorck von Wartenburg, and Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg. After the war, she became one of Germany's leading journalists and intellectuals, working for over 55 years as an editor and later publisher of the Hamburg-based weekly newspaper Die Zeit. She joined the resistance movement, which led to questioning by the Gestapo after a failed assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944. Although many of her fellow resistance activists were executed, she was released reportedly because her name was not found in any of the documents seized by the Nazis. In 1946, Dönhoff joined the fledgling, Hamburg-based, intellectual weekly Die Zeit as political editor. In August 1954, she temporarily left the newspaper in protest against articles by Richard Tüngel, who had published, inter alia, a text of Nazi constitutional lawyer Carl Schmitt and went to London to work for The Observer. Soon afterwards, however, she returned to Hamburg, and She was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief in 1955, then editor-in-chief in 1968, and publisher in 1972. She was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1990. She was involved in helping refugees settle in West Germany from East Germany and other parts of Europe. At the time of her death, Dönhoff was still co-publisher of the influential newspaper. She was the author of more than twenty books, including political and historical analyses of Germany as well as commentary on U.S. foreign policy. First English Language Edition [stated].
