This magnificent celebration of the world's oldest and most diverse artistic traditions is the definitive book on African art. Ranging from the oldest known human artifact, circa 1.6 million BC, to pieces made within living memory, the objects collected in this extraordinary volume reflect a continent of enormous cultural and historical scope. Arranged chronologically within seven geographical sections, it offers an astonishing array of sculptures in wood, bronze, stone, and gold, as well as mural paintings, ceremonial pieces, ceramics, jewelry, and textiles culled from private and public collections around the world. Commentary by renowned scholars illuminates the cultural and historical significance of these pieces, and in-depth authoritative texts highlight critical aspects of each region. Together these words and images take readers on an artistic grand tour through a continent of unparalleled diversity, and towards the thrilling discovery of not one Africa, but many.

The Flabellinidae, a heterogeneous assembly of supposedly plesiomorphic to very derived sea slug groups, have not yet been addressed by integrative studies. Here novel material of rarely seen Arctic taxa as well as North Atlantic, North and South Pacific, and tropical Indo-West Pacific flabellinid species is investigated morpho-anatomically and with multi-locus markers (partial COI, 16S rDNA, 28S rDNA and H3) which were generated and analysed in a comprehensive aeolid taxon sampling. It was found that the current family Flabellinidae is polyphyletic and its phylogeny and taxonomic patterns cannot be understood without considering members from all the Aeolidacean families and, based on a robust phylogenetic hypothesis, morpho-anatomical evolution of aeolids is more complex than suspected in earlier works and requires reclassification of the taxon. Morphological diversity of Flabellinidae is corroborated by molecular divergence rates and supports establishing three new families (Apataidae fam. n., Flabellinopsidae fam. n., Samlidae fam. n.), 16 new genera, 13 new species, and two new subspecies among the former Flabellinidae. Two families, namely Coryphellidae and Paracoryphellidae, are restored and traditional Flabellinidae is considerably restricted. The distinctness of the recently described family Unidentiidae is confirmed by both morphological and molecular data. Several species complexes among all ex-"Flabellinidae" lineages are recognised using both morphological and molecular data. The present study shows that Facelinidae and Aeolidiidae, together with traditional "Tergipedidae", deeply divide traditional "Flabellinidae." Diagnoses for all aeolidacean families are therefore provided and additionally two new non-flabellinid families (Abronicidae fam. n. and Murmaniidae fam. n.) within traditional tergipedids are established to accommodate molecular and morphological disparity. To address relationships and disparity, we propose a new family system for aeolids. Here the aeolidacean species are classified into at least 102 genera and 24 families. Operational rules for integration of morphological and molecular data for taxonomy are suggested. 139 pp., 48 figs, br. gr. 8.…

hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Publication Liverpool, T. Brakell, 1864 Formatting 8vo, pp. 112. Condition Report Good. The book remains structurally intact and highly readable, though it exhibits moderate signs of wear and use commensurate with its age. The original blind-stamped cloth boards are generally clean but show noticeable rubbing to the extremities, with minor fraying at the head and tail of the spine and slight bumping to the corners. The hinges remain structurally sound, though the spine cloth displays fading and wear along the joints. Internally, the pages are largely bright with only occasional, light age-toning and minor spotting. Crucially, the text block is completely free from major tears or significant foxing, preserving the crispness of the printing. Catalogue Note This is a true first edition, printed solely for private distribution by the author. Unillustrated, the volume was primarily intended for circulation among members of the local literary and philosophical societies where these papers were originally read. This particular copy boasts notable provenance, bearing a contemporary ink presentation inscription on the title page: "Jas Lister Esq with the author's kind regards." Authentic presentation copies of this privately printed work are exceptionally scarce on the open market, as the initial print run was severely limited and strictly non-commercial. As a local Liverpool imprint, it holds particular appeal for regional institutional archives and specialist collectors here in the North of the UK. Delving into the intricate roots of language and the evolution of linguistic structures, Philological Papers offers a fascinating Victorian perspective on comparative philology. Compiled by J. A. Picton, the President of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, this volume explores the nuances of the Ancient Gothic language, traces Sanskrit roots within English derivations, and uncovers the philological origins of architectural terminology. Dedicated to the esteemed Professor Max Müller, it stands as a testament to the rigorous 19th-century scholarship surrounding the modern science of language. N/A (illustratore).…

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Longmans, Green, and Co., 1873 Formatting: 8vo, pp. viii, [ii], 704; vi, 605, a.e.g. Condition Report: Very Good. The half-morocco and embossed cloth binding remains robust and highly attractive, with the gilt Liverpool crest bright and unoxidised on the upper boards. The leather spines exhibit minor rubbing to the raised bands, extremities, and joints, though they remain structurally sound with the boards securely attached. The text block edges are moderately age-toned with standard dust-dulling to the top edge. Internally, the volumes are tightly bound with crisp pages. The endpapers and preliminary leaves show moderate, scattered foxing, and there is a historic bookseller's ticket to the front endpaper, but the main body of text remains bright and largely unaffected. Catalogue Note: An essential addition to any collection of 19th-century regional British topography, sitting comfortably alongside seminal local history works such asÂThe Stranger in Liverpool, this handsome 1873 first edition is presented in a striking half-morocco binding. The upper boards feature the ornate gilt Coat of Arms of Liverpool, reflecting the cityâs motto, Deus Nobis Haec Otia Fecit (God hath granted us this ease). The edition features a bookseller's ticket from H. & D. Walmsley, Booksellers of 50 Lord Street, Liverpool, firmly rooting its early provenance in the city of its subject. While standard publisher's cloth bindings of this two-volume set occasionally appear, this particular premium half-leather presentation is scarce on the open market, likely intended as a special presentation or a limited subscriber issue. InÂMemorials of Liverpool, celebrated architect and local antiquary J. A. Picton delivers an exhaustive, two-volume history of the city, tracing its evolution from prehistoric origins through to the height of the Victorian era. Volume I provides a sweeping historical narrative, whilst Volume II offers a meticulous topographical survey of Liverpool's streets, districts, and its vast dock estate, painting a vivid portrait of a global trading powerhouse.
