‎Getting Here : The Story of Human Evolution‎

‎Washington DC U.S.A.: The Compass Press 1997. Book. Like New. Paperback. New Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Three individuals left footprints in East Africa 3.7 million years ago. Walking upright on human feet they had crossed a threshold in the long path of their evolution from vertebrates mammals and primates to enter and dominate a new world. They were not alone. Others related and descended in ways not entirely clear spread out flourished and disappeared; some became the people of today. Although we know a great deal of the story and new information is arriving ever more rapidly there is still more to be learned about where when and how our ancestors became us. We do know that we arrived not because we were inevitable but by luck and happenstance along the way. And we know there were other kinds of humans who co-existed with each other and who might be here today but are not. Now updated and revised to reflect the latest findings and their implications renowned anthropologist author and educator William Howells draws together here the latest from all today's sciences to tell the fascinating stories of our evolution. 266pp. The Compass Press Paperback‎

‎Copenhagen: Museum Tusculanum Press 2005. Book. Like New. Paperback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. The concepts of genre and ritual are central for the overall occupation with the relationship between the History of the Arts and the History of Christianity in Western Culture. In particular these two concepts have important bearings for the research carried out at the Centre for the Study of the Cultural Heritage of Medieval Rituals which has been established at the Faculty of Theology at the University of Copenhagen through funding from the Danish National Research Foundation. The first of the annual conferences of the Centre was dedicated to the question of ritual and genre. The present volume was planned on the basis of this conference: a collection of 15 essays with a wide range of topics both in terms of chronology and subject matter. The individual essays have been written partly by scholars at the Centre partly by colleagues from universities in Denmark Norway Sweden Germany and the USA with which the Centre collaborates. The aims has been to publish a volume which in a facetted way sheds light on the complex relationship between the two broad and difficult terms genre and ritual within the cultural history of Europe.336pp. Museum Tusculanum Press Paperback‎

‎Heckewelder John Gottlieb Ernest 1743 1823‎

‎History Manners Customs of The Indian Nations Who Once Inhabited Pennsylvania and the Neighboring States‎

‎xliv-47-465 pages with index. Royal octavo 9 3/4" x 6 3/4" bound in green cloth with spine label and lettering in black. Third edition.In the autumn of 1771 John Heckewelder entered upon his career as an evangelist to the Indians sharing the various fortunes of the Moravian mission among that people for fifteen years. The well-known missionary David Zeisberger having in 1768 established a mission among a clan of Monseys on the Allegheny within the limits of what is now Venango county was induced in the spring of 1770 to migrate with his charge to the Big Beaver and to settle at a point within the jurisdiction of the Delawares of Kaskaskunk. Heckewelder was appointed Zeisberger's assistant. In the spring of 1773 the mission was transferred to the valley of the Muskingum and Heckewelder became a resident of the Ohio country. Here several towns were build harboring the Moravian Indians and the missionaries. On the opening of the western border-war of the Revolution in the spring of 1777 the Moravian missionaries on the Muskingum realized the danger of their position. As neutrals both sides suspected them. As a result the moved their operations to a point on the Huron forty miles by water northwest of Detroit and built New Gnadenhutten in 1782. Four years later it was abandoned and resettled at Cuyahoga in present day norther Ohio. He severed his connections with the mission in 1786 and settled with his wife and family at Bethlehem. During this period of fifteen years he devoted his interest to work among the Indians. In 1792 Heckewelder with General Rufus Putnam went to me with the chiefs of the Seven Nations to treat for peace. Thirty-one of the chiefs signed a treaty of peace. In the spring of the following year once again he was commissioned to assist at a treaty with the United States for the purpose to ratify an agreement with the Miami of the Lake. Between 1797 and 1800 the subject of this work visited the Ohio country four times and in 1801 moved back to Gnadenhutten. Here he remained for nine years and preached the Gospel among the natives. In a time when there was a growing interest among people of science in this country Heckewelder was sought out in his retirement and called upon to contribute from his experience. In this way originated his association with Du Ponceau and Wistar of the American Philosophical Society and that of a career literary labor. In addition to occasional essays which are incorporated in the Transactions of the Historical and Literary Committee of that society Heckewelder in 1818 published this work. His Narritive of the Mission of the United Brethren among the Delaware and Mohican Indians appeared in 1820 and in 1822 he prepared his well-known collection of Names which the Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians gave to the Rivers Streams and Localities within the States of Pennsylvania New Yersey Maryland and Virgina with their Significations.
