NO fading. Sharp corners. Square and tight. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. NOT a library discard. List of chapter notes. Bibliography. Index. Bound in the original green boards with a silver stamped green cloth spine. From the publisher: "20,000 B.C., the peak of the last ice age -- the atmosphere is heavy with dust, deserts, and glaciers span vast regions, and people, if they survive at all, exist in small, mobile groups, facing the threat of extinction. But these people live on the brink of seismic change -- 10,000 years of climate shifts culminating in abrupt global warming that will usher in a fundamentally changed human world. AFTER THE ICE is the story of this momentous period -- one in which a seemingly minor alteration in temperature could presage anything from the spread of lush woodland to the coming of apocalyptic floods -- and one in which we find the origins of civilization itself. Drawing on the latest research in archaeology, human genetics, and environmental science, AFTER THE ICE takes the reader on a sweeping tour of 15,000 years of human history. Steven Mithen brings this world to life through the eyes of an imaginary modern traveler -- John Lubbock, namesake of the great Victorian polymath and author of PREHISTORIC TIMES. With Lubbock, readers visit and observe communities and landscapes, experiencing prehistoric life -- from aboriginal hunting parties in Tasmania, to the corralling of wild sheep in the central Sahara, to the efforts of the Guila Naquitz people in Oaxaca to combat drought with agricultural innovations. Part history, part science, part time travel, AFTER THE ICE offers an evocative and uniquely compelling portrayal of diverse cultures, lives, and landscapes that laid the foundations of the modern world.".

In Japan he undergoes an extraordinary transformation, discovering the truth about his family and his past.

Swept by the tides, half buried by the sands, worn away by terrific pressure are the remnants of a culture little known to our age. Where the mighty Pacific now sweeps majestically for thousands of miles, there was once a vast continent. This land was known as Lemuria, and its people as Lemurians. In this book you will learn the incredible truth about the Lemurian race, their civilization's high development, their advanced technology, their deep comprehension of psychic and spiritual laws, and how their civilization was utterly destroyed. Yet the vast knowledge they possessed was not lost but has been preserved - kept alive in the hearts and minds of a sacred group today. Will our present civilization benefit from these inspiring, spiritual truths? This book reveals these things in a way you will never forget. California and the West Coast of the United States were once part of the vast continent of Lemuria. From early times, legends and myths have circulated about California's mountain of mystery - Shasta - linking it with an ancient, forgotten people and a great sunken continent to the west. Is Mt. Shasta the repository of the remnants of Lemurian civilization? What do the strange rock-carved symbols in the Shasta region reveal about an ancient civilization swept from the face of the earth, except for surviviors who live among us today? Now you can witness the evidence and experience the glory that was Lemuria in Wishar S. Cerve's captivating book.". Later printing. Hardcover. Very Fine condition/soiled and chipped dust jacket.

From the publisher: "How do people acquire political consciousness, and how does that consciousness transform their behavior? This question launched the scholarly career of David Montejano, whose masterful explorations of the Mexican American experience produced the award-winning books Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas, 1836-1986, a sweeping outline of the changing relations between the two peoples, and Quixote's Soldiers: A Local History of the Chicano Movement, 1966-1981, a concentrated look at how a social movement 'from below' began to sweep away the last vestiges of the segregated social-political order in San Antonio and South Texas. Now in Sancho's Journal, Montejano revisits the experience that set him on his scholarly quest"hanging out" as a participant-observer with the South Side Berets of San Antonio as the chapter formed in 1974. Sancho's Journal presents a rich ethnography of daily life among the 'batos locos' (crazy guys) as they joined the Brown Berets and became associated with the greater Chicano movement. Montejano describes the motivations that brought young men into the group and shows how they learned to link their individual troubles with the larger issues of social inequality and discrimination that the movement sought to redress. He also recounts his own journey as a scholar who came to realize that, before he could tell this street-level story, he had to understand the larger history of Mexican Americans and their struggle for a place in U.S. society. Sancho's Journal completes that epic story.". First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Near Fine condition/New dust jacket.

From the publisher: "Currently fashionable among critics of enlightenment thought is the charge that Kant's ethics fails to provide an adequate account of character and its formation in moral and political life. G. Felicitas Munzel challenges this reading of Kant's thought, claiming not only that Kant has a very rich notion of moral character, but also that it is a conception of systematic importance for his thought, linking the formal moral with the critical, aesthetic, anthropological, and biological aspects of his philosophy. The first book to focus on character formation in Kant's moral philosophy, it builds on important recent work on Kant's aesthetics and anthropology, and brings these to bear on moral issues. Munzel traces Kant's multifaceted definition of character through the broad range of his writings, and then explores the structure of character, its actual exercise in the world, and its cultivation. An outstanding work of original textual analysis and interpretation, Kant's Conception of Moral Character is a major contribution to Kant studies and moral philosophy in general.".
