Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. This 1965 edition, published by Susil Gupta, is a classic scholarly reference on the early development of Buddhist art. Originally written as a "handbook" for museum visitors in Berlin, it was translated into English by Agnes C. Gibson and significantly expanded by the renowned archaeologist James Burgess (former Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India). Grünwedel's work was one of the first to systematically categorize the "Gandhara School" and its Greco-Roman influences, contrasting them with the indigenous Indian styles of Bharhut and Sanchi. Contents Include: Early Indian Styles: Analysis of the reliefs at Bharhut, Sanchi, and Amravati, focusing on the pre-iconic phase where the Buddha was represented only by symbols (the wheel, the footprint, the Bodhi tree). The Gandhara School: A detailed examination of the Hellenistic influence on Buddhist sculpture in the northwest, including the evolution of the Buddha image and the depiction of drapery. Iconography: Definitive descriptions of the physical characteristics of the Buddha, Bodhisattvas (Maitreya, Padmapani), and minor deities (Nagas, Yakshas). James Burgess's Contributions: This edition includes Burgess's extensive notes and roughly 50 additional illustrations that were not in Grünwedel's original German text, making it a more complete resource for the English-speaking scholar. Condition is good. Dust jacket has some small tears and shelf wear. Interior is clean, tight and, unmarked. Frontispiece has original owner's name.…

This two-volume book is a documentary history of Russia's 19th-century settlement in California. It contains 492 documents (letters, reports, travel descriptions, censuses, ethnographic and geographical information), mostly translated from the Russian for the first time, very fully annotated, and with an extensive historical introduction, maps, and illustrations, many in colour. This broad range of primary sources provides a comprehensive and detailed history of the Russian Empire's most distant and most exotic outpost, one whose liquidation in 1841 presaged St Petersburg's abandonment of all of Russian America in 1867. Russia from the sixteenth century onwards had steadily expanded eastwards in search of profitable resources. This expansion was rapid, eased not only by the absence of foreign opposition and disunity of the native peoples but also by Siberia's river network and the North Pacific's convenient causeway of the Aleutian chain leading to Alaska. It was paid for largely by the 'soft gold' of Siberian sables and Pacific sea otters. By the end of the 1700s, however, on the Northwest Coast of North America the Russians met increasing opposition from the indigenous people (Tlingits) and foreign rivals (American and English fur-trading vessels).…
