Kandt, Richard:
Caput Nili. Eine empfindsame Reise zu den Quellen des Nils. Reprint der 6. Auflage, Berlin 1921. Mit einem Vorwort v. Ulrich Löber u. einem Beitrag v. Reinhart Bindseil.
Gutes Exemplar; Einband etwas berieben. - Mit beiliegender Faltkarte. - Faksimile in Frakturschrift. - Richard Kandt (vor 1894 Richard Kantorowicz; * 17. Dezember 1867 in Posen; † 29. April 1918 in Nürnberg) war ein deutscher Arzt und Afrikaforscher. ... Zwischen 1897 und 1907 erforschte er den Nordwesten von Deutsch-Ostafrika und wurde 1906 zum Kaiserlichen Residenten der mit Verordnung vom 20. Juni 1906 und mit Wirkung vom 15. November 1907 geschaffenen Residentur Ruanda von Deutsch-Ostafrika berufen. Kandt traf im August 1907 in Ruanda ein und gründete noch im gleichen Jahr seinen Residentensitz Kigali. Im Frühjahr 1914 war er zu einem Urlaub nach Deutschland gekommen und konnte wegen des Ausbruchs des Ersten Weltkrieges im August 1914 nicht nach Ruanda zurückkehren. Bald nach Kriegsausbruch meldete er sich als Arzt und ging an die Ostfront. … Kandt ist in Ruanda noch heute eine hoch geachtete Person. In seinem Haus in Kigali ist ein Naturkundemuseum eingerichtet worden und dort wird in einem Raum auch über ihn informiert … (wiki) // „Caput Nili" - Eine empfindsame Reise zu den Quellen des Nils erschien erstmals 1904, knapp zwei Jahre nach Kandts Rückkehr aus Ruanda. Das Werk wurde ein Erfolg, die zweite Auflage folgte schnell. Als der Verfasser sein Buch Anfang 1914 für die dritte Auflage in Form von ergänzenden Anmerkungen überarbeitete, versah er seine einführenden Worte mit der Überschrift „Zur dritten Fahrt". 1919, als die vierte Auflage erscheinen sollte, weilte Kandt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Sein langjähriger Freund, der Afrikaforscher Franz Stuhlmann, widmete dem Gefallenen einen Nachruf, den er „Zur vierten Fahrt" überschrieb. ... (Vorwort U. Löber) // INHALT / Kapitel: Zur vierten Fahrt; Zur dritten Fahrt; Ein Wegweiser; Brief I; Sansibar und die Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Küste (Briefe II - IV); Auf der großen Karawanenstraße (Briefe V - VII); Tabora (Brief VIII); Die Ugalla-Sindi-Expedition (Briefe IX - XIII); Intermezzo (Briefe XIV - XVII); Vom Blatternlager nach Tabora (Brief XVIII); Vegetationsbilder (Brief XIX); Von Tabora nach Uschirombo (Briefe XX - XXI); Zum Alexandra-Nil (Brief XXII); Am Hofe des Königs; Ringmarsch um die Vulkane; Zur Nilquelle; Vom Tanganika zum Kiwu; Am Westufer des Kiwu; Zwischen Kiwu und Albert-Eduard-See; Am Ostufer des Kiwu; Bootsfahrten; Verzeichnis der Lichtdrucke; Kartenbeilagen: Große Karawanenstraße Bagamojo - Tabora 1:4000000 / Kiwu-See und Nilquellen 1:1000000.

Previous owner's name and store stamp on FFEP book review pasted in on back of FFEP. ; A bright solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector unclipped. ; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 277 pages; "The exploration and appropriation of the wilderness in the heart of the Western Himalayas has become known as the "Gilgit Game" in recognition of its importance as a crucial episode in the "Great Game"--the century-long rivalry between Russia and British India for control of Central Asia. Indeed authors from Kipling to Masters have treated this struggle as the epitome of this competition between nations. But as John Keay shows in this fascinating and readable account of an exciting period in colonial India the real characters in this drama were more than a match for their fictional counterparts. With humor sympathy and admiration of this small group of intelligence agents Keay describes the activities that had such far-reaching repercussions in the region. Through extensive research and his own intimate knowledge of the terrain Keay sheds new light on the once top secret geographical discoveries made by these men discoveries they were prevented from publishing during their lifetimes.A fresh look at a little-known aspect of political intrigue this is the first narrative account of Himalayan exploration set against the backdrop of espionage and military brinkmanship." .

Keeler Mary Frear ed
Sir Francis Drake's West Indian Voyage 1585-86
xiv358 pages with frontispiece map 15 plates 3 maps appendices bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 3/4" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt pictorial sailing ship to front cover. Second series volume 148. First edition.<br /><br />Significant in the history of Anglo-Spanish relations and of English ventures was Drake's expedition to the West indies in 1585-86. His raids on Spanish towns on both sides of the Atlantic were aimed not only to gather treasure but to bring a military challenge to the empire of Phillip II. The voyage was lined also with the plantation projects of Raleigh and ended with Drake bring home the discouraged settlers of the first Virginia colony. Although not a financial success the expedition attracted wide attention in England and on the continent and was a prelude to the events of 1588. For over three centuries after the voyage the main source of information about it was the lively narrative strongly propagandistic in tone that was published in 1588 and 1589. In the present volume this account attributed to Captain Walter Bigges has been critically edited in the light of evidence now available from English and Spanish sources. Printed also are the documents relating to ships and personnel and to financial accounts of the expedition. Included too are the journal from the vice-admiral's ship the Primrose edited from the original manuscript the fragmentary journals from ships of two other major officers and an important newsletter. Among the illustrations are a previously unpublished map relating to Drake's stop at Vigo as well as the Boazio maps which are shown in differing sizes and details. Mary Frear Keller's introduction discusses the expedition in the context of Elizabethan policies in the pre-Armada years. She point out new evidence on Drake's administrative practices on his negotiations with Spanish officials and on his dealings with a troublesome rear-admiral. Appendices provide critical notes on the Boazio maps and the circumstances of the publication of the Bigges account.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Light rubbing to jacket edges else a better than very good copy in like jacket.

KENDRICK JOHN
The Voyage Of Sutil And Mexicana 1792: The Last Spanish Exploration Of The Northwest Coast Of America
The Arthur H. Clark Company Norman: 1991. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The Sutil and Mexicana sailed along the coast of the Pacific Northwest in 1792 their stated mission to put to rest the persistent rumors of the mythical strait connecting the Pacific and Atlantic in the neighborhood of the Strait of Juan de Fuca the present-day border of Canada and the United States. This would be the last Spanish exploration along the Pacific Coast after 250 years of primacy in charting those waters. Commanded by Dionisio Alcalea Galiano and Cayento Valds y Flores and inaugurated by Alejandro Malaspina the voyage is the origin of our knowledge of part of the coast of British Columbia and its inhabitants. The two ships stopped and spent time at Nootka prior to exploring in detail the coastline inside the Strait of Juan de Fuca and north of Vancouver Canada. Called the definitive account of the voyage by Donald Cutter noted expert on the Spanish explorations. Through painstaking research the translator and editor identified the original manuscript account of the voyage most likely prepared Galiano. It varies significantly from the account published in Spain in 1802 and translated into English by Cecil Jane in 1930. The variances are carefully noted and accounted for by the editor. Considerable ethnological data are included in the document. The ships had frequent contacts with the indigenous people along the coast noting variations in their language their trading techniques their fear friendliness or hostility towards the vessels and crew. George Vancouver was conducting his explorations at the same time as the Sutil and Mexicana and the two parties joined for several days to make cooperative surveys and share information. Vancouver and his second in command Puget entertained the Spaniards on his ship Discovery several evenings and their relations were extremely cordial. The Drawings of Jos Cardero an artist assigned to the expedition depicting the natives and landscapes were a major contribution to the voyage account. Thirteen of his drawings are included in the book in addition to portraits of the two captains and maps of the voyage. An extensive introduction is provided giving an historical background to the voyage the history of the original published account and a careful analysis of the document now published. Short biographies of the major participants are also provided. A glossary of place names identifying present-day terms for the Spanish locations named in the document is added for reference. Two appendices containing letters regarding preparation of the voyage account and the ship manifests also supplement the text. The Arthur H. Clark Company, Norman: 1991 hardcover

KENNEDY DANE
The Last Blank Spaces: Exploring Africa And Australia
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Softcover. Brand new book. For a British Empire that stretched across much of the globe at the start of the nineteenth century the interiors of Africa and Australia remained intriguing mysteries. The challenge of opening these continents to imperial influence fell to a proto-professional coterie of determined explorers. They sought knowledge adventure and fame but often experienced confusion fear and failure. The Last Blank Spaces follows the arc of these explorations from idea to practice from intention to outcome from myth to reality. Those who conducted the hundreds of expeditions that probed Africa and Australia in the nineteenth century adopted a mode of scientific investigation that had been developed by previous generations of seaborne explorers. They likened the two continents to oceans empty spaces that could be made truly knowable only by mapping measuring observing and preserving. They found however that their survival and success depended less on this system of universal knowledge than it did on the local knowledge possessed by native peoples. While explorers sought to advance the interests of Britain and its emigrant communities Dane Kennedy discovers a more complex outcome: expeditions that failed ignominiously explorers whose loyalties proved ambivalent or divided and above all local states and peoples who diverted expeditions to serve their own purposes. The collisions and occasional convergences between British and indigenous values interests and modes of knowing the world are brought to the fore in this fresh and engaging study. 368 pages 15 halftones 2 maps 1 table. Dane Kennedy is Elmer Louis Kayser Professor of History and International Affairs at The George Washington University. "Scholars and biographers have tirelessly eulogized analyzed and demystified individual explorers but the field has long lacked a synthesizing study of overland exploration� As with all grand comparative works subsequent scholars will no doubt spend decades picking critical holes in Kennedy's convincingly systematic survey. But this will only confirm the breadth and originality of The Last Blank Spaces which successfully extracts a coherent and illuminating narrative from a bewildering array of texts archives and institutions."�Brian H. Murray The Times Literary Supplement "As a result of Kennedy's excellent analysis we see more clearly what Australian exploration was and what it was not."�Jim Davidson The Australian "Considering Australia and Africa together enables Kennedy to dispel the fog of romance that still envelops the figure of the explorer and to make some cogent observations on imperialism the organization of knowledge nationalism and the role of indigenous people in facilitating exploration."�Norman Etherington Australian Book Review "The Last Blank Spaces is magisterial in its sweep thorough in its exegesis of exploration and compelling in its careful dissection of what the explorers accomplished and what they failed to accomplish."�Robert I. Rotberg American Historical Review "The Last Blank Spaces is particularly worth a read for historians of other nineteenth-century empires� The Last Blank Spaces at once surprises and makes the reader wonder why no one has thought to look at this subject in this way before� Kennedy raises new and provocative questions in the long and often fraught conversation about power class and race on the margins of the British Empire."�Toby Harper H-Net Reviews "This fine book breathes new life into the history of exploration. In a fresh and creative way Dane Kennedy juxtaposes the familiar stories of the European exploration of Australia and sub-Saharan Africa enlivening the histories of both continents� The precise and elegant prose carries the reader effortlessly forward."�Henry Reynolds Inside Story "Kennedy's analysis gains by acknowledging the courage of most explorers and the respect some held for the people whose lives they would change forever. He builds our understanding of their circumstances but less so of their longer-term importance in shaping the futures of two continents. The most significant thing about the explorers from Europe is that what they encountered became part of a new worldwide network of knowledge."�Stephen Wilks The Canberra Times "With publication of The Last Blank Spaces Dane Kennedy has breathed new life into the well-worn narratives of explorers and exploration in Africa and Australia� Rather than simplification Kennedy complicates both the process of exploration and the explorers engaged in it by reading primary sources against the grain by avoiding and questioning heroic stereotypes by looking for inferences and by examining discourse in a creative but controlled fashion. He writes engagingly and clearly thus attracting both the savant and those with little detailed knowledge of the field� The differences and similarities of exploring these two continents and the men engaged in this activity are truly illuminating and make for fascinating reading� This book deserves a wide readership."�Jane Carruthers Australian Historical Studies "It is a rare book that is scholarly well-written and accessible�while being enlightening and often fascinating. This is one such and Dane Kennedy should be congratulated� I found this book especially interesting in the accounts of the relationships explorers formed with their key guides and informants�who sometimes even helped plan the expeditions� Dane Kennedy gives human will and effort their due accords the explorers their humanity but shows how metropolitan outreach and conquest followed by latter-day metropolitan nostalgia are imperial. The terrains and societies they encountered were complex and difficult�not pure and pastoral not arcadian. But for the sheer complexity the explorers faced and how they faced them in looking at their immediacies Dane Kennedy shows an astute soft spot."�Stephen Chan Australasian Review of African Studies "A well-written well-conceived book� Kennedy emphasizes what 19th-century British explorers hoped to accomplish the logistics involved and especially their dealings with the indigenous people."�R. E. Schreiber Choice "Kennedy sorts through a far more complicated and messy history of 19th-century British exploration than the record has assumed taking into account much failure as well as a deep reliance on indigenous help. The author asserts that the first British explorers of Australia and Africa looked to the vast continents much as the seafaring explorers had regarded the sea before them as great unknown oceans blank spaces to be 'measured mapped quantified classified catalogued and compared.' �Kennedy teases out a fascinating comparative study of Australian versus African exploration thattakes into account the early British settlers' colonies in the former and the richly entrenched indigenous societies and forbidding disease environment in the latter� A wealth of research for the armchair traveler and historian."�Kirkus Reviews "Triumphalist narratives of European trailblazers leave out complexity and conflict along with the contributions of indigenous peoples according to this probing social history of 19th-century imperialist British exploration� Kennedy shrewdly dissects the ideology of exploration as the adventurous standard-bearer of progress and sets it against the record of British explorers confronting sophisticated canny contentious locals with their own agendas and formidable resources. These locals helped thwarted and sometimes even took command of European expeditions. Kennedy's erudite yet highly readable study restores much of the nuance and drama that has been airbrushed out of standard accounts of Western exploration."�Publishers Weekly "Nineteenth-century explorers did not merely discover the truths about landscapes and peoples they encountered: instead as Dane Kennedy shows they created new ways of knowing them shaped as much by colonial realities as by metropolitan science. A masterful study of exploration."�Felix Driver author of Geography Militant: Cultures of Exploration and Empire "In this beautifully written and strikingly original account of British exploration of Africa and Australia in the nineteenth century Dane Kennedy demonstrates the limits as well as the violence of imperial power and the vulnerability as well as the vainglory of the explorers. The vast 'blank spaces' of the European imagination in fact sustained complex and ancient civilizations whose peoples challenged even as they helped produce the explorers' knowledge of the world."�Marilyn Lake co-author of Drawing the Global Colour Line: White Men's Countries and the International Challenge of Racial Equality "Groundbreaking and deeply satisfying The Last Blank Spaces provocatively argues that the blank spaces on nineteenth-century maps of Africa and Australia actually represented the limits of western knowledge. This marvelous book delivers on the promise of the 'new imperial history' by providing a refreshingly original perspective on imperial power in the age of exploration."�Timothy Parsons Professor of African History Washington University in St. Louis Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2015 paperback
