University of Alberta Press. Very Good. 1991. First Edition. Softcover. 0888642210 . Ex-library book, but still in very good condition - sturdy laminated cover and usual ex-lib type markings such as front and spine sticker. Internal pages clean and tight, a little soiling to outer edge of pages, light wear to corners of laminate on cover. Profusely illustrated in b/w & colour. 215 pages. ; 8vo; "The prehistoric, nomadic inhabitants of Canada had no writing, no large settlements, and very little in the way of lasting material things. Before Europeans came to North America they had no guns, no horses, no hard metals. What clues we have come primarily from the work of archaeologists sifting through the buried evidence - little bits of stone and bone and pottery, refuse heaps and firepits, ancient villages and burials, finger prints and prehistoric blood. Yet theirs is a long and triumphant story of survival, a story that is even now just beginning to be told. " [415-noto] .

Cover has light edge/corner wear, front has some creasing. Author suggests that "Our loss of the capacity for festivity and fantasy has profound religious significance... This may account in part for the malaise and tedium of our time. Celebration requires a set of common memories and collective hopes." (Pg. 15) Later, he adds that "Like fantasy, religion enables man to transcend the empirical world and to appreciate the sublimity and mystery of existence." (Pg. 80).."

"As incisive and relevant today as it was sixty years ago, this book presents the essentials of Ayn Rands philosophy for those who wish to acquire an integrated view of existence. In the title essay, she offers an analysis of Western culture, discusses the causes of its progress, its decline, its present bankruptcy, and points the road to an intellectual renaissance. One of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philosophyand ethic of rational self-interestthat stands in sharp opposition to the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice.

Jacket has light scuffing. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 307 pages; Review: "This vivid, sympathetic account of the world's mummy-making cultures contributes much to the mummy trade, which does such a brisk business these days in books and on programs like National Geographic Explorer and the Discovery Channel that it might seem that there is nothing left to say. Another recent contribution to the genre, Heather Pringle's outstanding The Mummy Congress (Forecasts, May 21) , will likely garner more attention this summer, but for its freshness and sensitivity, Reid's should do very well also. Reid, a documentary filmmaker and anthropologist living in England, sets out for exotic regions and vivifies ancient mummy-making cultures,…
