Hardback. Condizione: New. A completely new and revealing story of Pre- and Post-Columbian art as told through over sixty extraordinary artefacts now in the Jay I. Kislak Collection at the Library of Congress. The history of the early Americas is a story of before and after, defined and divided by a pivotal moment of contact bet…ween two distinct cultures. On the European side it is a tale of exploration, high-stakes treasure-seeking, and conquest. For indigenous Americans - including the Maya, the Nahua, the Taino, and the Wari - it is the beginning of the end, a violent saga of disease, enslavement, and the loss of languages and rituals. This collision of cultures comes to life in the manuscripts, maps, archaeological objects, and rare books that make up the collection of early American treasures in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Collecting for a New World: Treasures of the Early Americas relates these encounters through vivid illustrations and interpretive descriptions of more than sixty rare and priceless items. In describing for the first time the journeys of the objects themselves - via African shipwrecks, secret meetings on airstrips, discoveries in castle libraries, and journeys into unknown archaeological sites hidden deep in the jungles of Guatemala - curator John Hessler reveals the role played by private collectors, whose knowledge, vision, and - in many cases, philanthropy - contribute so significantly to the collective understanding and interpretation of history and culture. AUTHOR: When not searching through Maya ruins in Central America, climbing in the Alps or mountain biking through some jungle, John Hessler is the Curator of the Jay I. Kislak Collection of the Archaeology and History of the Early Americas at the Library of Congress and a Lecturer in Quantum Materials, Mechanics and Computing, in the Graduate School of Advanced Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Founder of the Archeo/LAB, his current teaching and research focuses on the theoretical materials science of archaeological remains, the topological structure of ancient DNA, and the quantum properties of ancient nano-materials like Maya Blue. A Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in London, he is the co-director of the Mesoamerican Language, Theory and Decipherment Seminars, and is also on the faculty of the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia where he teaches a seminar called the History and Construction of the Mesoamerican Codex. The author of more than 100 books and articles, including, The New York Times bestseller MAP: Exploring the World, his research and writing has been featured in many national media outlets including Discover, Wired, CBS News, The New York Times, The Washington Post and most recently on NPRs All Things Considered. 100 colour illustrations.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Red cloth covered boards with gilt lettering to spine in a new dust jacket. 8vo.( 9 x 1 x 7.75 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlining. Photo illustrations throughout the text. Includes notes, bibliography, index and photo credits. 176 pp. Fast shipping in a secu…re book box mailer with tracking. Exposing the Maya presents rare and important early photographs of the archaeological ruins and remains of the great Mayan civilizations of Mexico and Central America. It also includes the reports of six early pioneers of nineteenth-century Mesoamerican archaeology-Désiré Charnay, Alice and Augustus Le Plongeon, Teobert Maler, Alfred Maudslay, and Adela Breton-all masters of their craft who traveled extensively to sites in Mexico and Central America. The over one hundred selected images in this volume, together with nearly forty additional contextual images featuring sketches from travel journals, hand-colored drawings, prints, and maps, are combined with the photographers' own words in journals and letters to provide insight into their methods and context for their images, and to capture the realities of fieldwork in Mexico and Guatemala. The volume presents a fascinating account of this period of expeditionary photography, combining as it did drawing, painting, and illustration with the photographic medium to bring to life the long-faded murals and decoration of these ruins, and the crucial role played by photography in the deciphering of Maya glyphs. This compelling story brings to life their work, their incredible journeys, and the challenging conditions under which they produces their images.
