Softcover. Etat : Good. Mexico City has been the capital of Latin America for over half a millennium, and in the lime of the Aztecs it was one of the wonders of the world, a shining, white city that housed the hub of a great empire. Framed in clear air against snow-capped volcanoes, Mexico City's palaces and churches appeared to 19th-century travelers as one of the most beautiful sights on earth. Although its beauty today is overlaid with ecological problems, including pollution and overcrowding, just beneath the grime is a vibrant and colorful culture--one of the most inventive and persistent in the New World--that can trace its roots directly back to its glorious Indian ancestors. This lavishly illustrated guide includes practical information the traveler requires, an insight into the region's history and culture, as well as providing the reader with a dizzying view of Mexico City and its environs. * A new and extensively revised second edition of a popular guide * Indispensable practical information for the traveler * Exceptionally fine color photography and easy-to-follow maps * Literary excerpts and sidebars illuminate the local culture and history * In-depth observation by an experienced author who knows the city intimately * Excerpts from authors such as Jack Kerouac, Luis Bunel and Hernando Cortes * Excellent reading for the business, armchair, group or individual traveler.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. To the modern reader, the Silk Road conjures up images of fabled cities and exotic lands, of long-gone empires and great conquerors. In this authoritative book, Luce Boulnois explores the encounter between East and West across the vast continental expanse that separates the Mediterranean world from the Chinese one. She unravels in a clear and compelling way the complex threads that make up the history of these great overland trade routes, which allowed the transmission across the world of ideas and beliefs, techniques and works of art, helping to shape the civilizations that flourished along the way. How did the Romans, following in the footsteps of the Greeks, discover these far-flung regions? What did the Chinese know of the European world? How did they manage to keep the secret of silk manufacture safe for centuries? Did Marco Polo really go to China, or was he just a clever impostor? But the importance of Central Asia is not just a thing of the past, and the author discusses its significance in the modern world in cultural and geopolitical terms, including the implications of the most recent events taking place there.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Ethiopia is a vast country of remarkable scenic beauty. The vivid contrast in its geographical environment, from fertile plains to hostile scrublands, has produced remarkable differences in lifestyles. Many groups of people make their homes in this little known land, speaking 80 different languages, practicing a variety of religions and maintaining a diversity of cultures. The lowlands are a sea of Islam, the highlands an island of Christianity religions existing side by side with age-old rituals unique to the various peoples of Ethiopia. From the beauty of Labilela's rock churches to the traditional ceremonies of the people of the Omo Valley, this book reveals the hidden face of this striking, mysterious land. Photographer Kazuyoshi Nomachi captures the unique mosaic of Ethiopia as it was meant to be experienced, from the traditions of an ancient people to the daily chores of survival. Bless Ethiopia represents the mystique of an inaccessible land, torn by political upheavals and harsh climate that limits travel. Nomachi transcends these traditional barriers to bring the reader in tune with the pulse of today's Ethiopia, focusing on adherents of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. In this land of rugged extremes, diversity abounds both geographically and culturally. Having lived in Ethiopia and championed her cause for much of his adult life, Professor Richard Pankhurst in his Introduction brings profound expertise to this vivid and informative look at Ethiopia. His text evokes the spirit of a lost land, and helps the reader comprehend what few outsiders are privileged to experience.
