(From the dust jacket flap) From history and lore to modern sources and commercial usage, AMBER: THE GOLDEN GEM OF THE AGES brings you a wealth of information on every aspect of amber. It is as completely up to date as it is all-encompassing, and is the first definitive study of amber to be published in fifty years. The author pinpoints the original sources of amber and its variety of colors and textures, then describes its historical usage. She recounts its use by early man during the Stone Age and Bronze Age.the ancient amber trade routes.and the use of amber in classical cultures. Dr. Rice then traces the amber industry's growth from the guilds of the Middle Ages to current development and mining techniques in the Baltic regions. You'll find interesting descriptions of archaelogical finds of ancient amber.intriguing facts on mystical beliefs and folklore associated with amber .and fascinating historical illustrations of the first fake inclusions recorded in amber. Data on physical and chemical properties are accompanied by appropriate tests and methods for identifying genuine amber. The book features summaries of scientific studies conducted by leading researchers.geological descriptions of regions where amber is found. and biological information on findings of fossil insects and other arthropods in amber, as well as on the use of amber as a botanical product to gain knowledge of plant evolution. A complete review of amber's commercial aspects includes commonly used imitations and substitutes ranging from early Bakelite jewelry to modern Bernit. Detailed methods are provided for pressing or reconstructing small amber chips and using them with plastic to make "polybern" ornaments. Additional step-by-step directions tell you how to cut, drill, and polish rough amber into radiant jewelry. When you want to know more about the Russian amber room.Chinese amber carvings or amber art from the Middle Ages.or the mythology surrounding amber in various cultures?consult AMBER: THE GOLDEN GEM OF THE AGES.

Ajouter au panierSoft cover. Etat : Very Good. 4th Edition. This a signed copy of the second printing. The book has some slight bending, and slight wear and creasing to cover spine and corners. Clean inside copy. Very good condition. Used The original version of this book was considered a definitive work-- a reference for other amber researchers and scientists. In the late 1980's modern scientific equipment revolutionized the thinking about amber. The fossil insects were studied to reveal information about evolution of the fauna and flora of prehistoric times. The Fourth Edition includes descriptions of work of David Grimaldi, Rob DeSalle, George Poinar, and Raul Cano, pioneers in DNA research from amber fossils. George Poinar donated photographs of many of his discoveries of "first" published representatives of various classes of insects and parasites. This book includes something for everyone studying amber from a variety of points of view. Even archaeological finds and mythological information gives amber a humanistic side since amber was used by primitive people in many cultures.
