Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artefacts made from skeletal materials since the Roman period were, before this book, neglected as a serious area of study. This is a comprehensive account which reviews over fifty categories of artefact. The book starts with a consideration of the formation, morphology and mechanical properties of the materials and illuminates characteristics concerning working with them. Following chapters discuss the organisation of the industry and trade in such items, including the changing status of the industry over time. Archaeological evidence is combined with that from historical and ethnological sources, with many illustrations providing key visual reference. Originally published in 1985.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragedy of extinction is explained through the dramatic story of a legendary bird, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, and of those who tried to possess it, paint it, shoot it, sell it, and, in a last-ditch effort, save it. A powerful saga that sweeps through two hundred years of history, it introduces artists like John James Audubon, bird collectors like William Brewster, and finally a new breed of scientist in Cornell's Arthur A. "Doc" Allen and his young ornithology student, James Tanner, whose quest to save the Ivory-bill culminates in one of the first great conservation showdowns in U.S. history, an early round in what is now a worldwide effort to save species. As hope for the Ivory-bill fades in the United States, the bird is last spotted in Cuba in 1987, and Cuban scientists join in the race to save it. All this, plus Mr. Hoose's wonderful story-telling skills, comes together to give us what David Allen Sibley, author of The Sibley Guide to Birds calls "the most thorough and readable account to date of the personalities, fashions, economics, and politics that combined to bring about the demise of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker." The Race to Save the Lord God Bird is the winner of the 2005 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Nonfiction and the 2005 Bank Street - Flora Stieglitz Award.

Download or read book Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn written by Robert Holdstock and published by . This book was released on 2002-08-05 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel tells the story that precedes MYTHAGO WOOD. Steven Huxley's father, George, and brother, Christian, elusive, shadowy figures in MYTHAGO WOOD, are the protagonists. This book tells of the beginning of the strange hold that Ryhope Wood will develop over the Huxley family, and George's discovery of the primeval woodland that holds the 'mythagos' - figures from myth, legend or dream - is wonderfully detailed. Mirroring the fate of his brother in MYTHAGO WOOD, Christian is drawn into Ryhope in an attempt to find Guiwenneth, the mythago who has held a special allure for all the men of the Huxley family. His quest, though, is more complex as he is also searching for his mother and, although he would deny it, the father who's obsession has cost the family so much. Christian's introduction to the wood is fascinatingly drawn and in many ways this is the most fantastical of the entire series, replete with mythic archetypes and the dark, mysterious atmosphere that marks the MYTHAGO books as the very best in the field.

This technical book will help collectors, antique dealers, museum conservationists, and frequenters of flea markets to know more about the vast array of those artifacts, their biology, rarity, value, and how to conserve and restore them.
