Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Pipe Book' is an authoritative and engaging exploration of the evolution, artistry, and global history of the tobacco pipe. Penned by the legendary pipe maker Alfred Dunhill, this comprehensive study documents the diverse forms and functions of smoking implements across nearly every corner of the world. From the simple clay pipes of early Europe to the elaborate ceremonial pipes of North American indigenous cultures and the ornate meerschaums of the East, Dunhill provides a meticulous account of how human ingenuity has shaped the experience of smoking.The work combines anthropological insight with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, examining the materials, designs, and social rituals associated with tobacco use throughout history. By detailing the development of the pipe as both a practical tool and an object of artistic expression, the book offers a fascinating look at how different civilizations have adapted natural resources like wood, stone, and bone to suit their cultural needs. Rich in historical detail, 'The Pipe Book' remains a quintessential resource for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the social history and material culture of smoking.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
