‎Cook James; Beagleole J. C. (cur.); Marenco F. (cur.)‎

‎Giornali di bordo nei viaggi d'esplorazione. Vol. 2: Il viaggio della «Resolution» e dell'«Adventure» 1772-1775‎

‎br. «A parte gli interrogativi cui fornì una risposta, il merito precipuo di Cook resta quello di aver concepito il viaggio come un problema unitario e globale, nei suoi aspetti nautici, scientifici e umani. Portò al suo mestiere una dedizione assoluta, propria dell'uomo moderno che trova in questo accanimento, in questa regola di vita, la sua porzione di libertà, o di illusione di libertà. Ma la sapeva lunga, e sapeva distinguere la sostanza delle cose dalle vane pretese che la capovolgono. Tale costante lucidità critica emerge spesso nelle sue pagine, e le colora di una equilibratissima ironia. Il suo capolavoro fu certamente il secondo viaggio, che durò tre anni (1772-1775), attraverso gli immensi tratti di mare lasciati inesplorati da navigatori precedenti, e si spinse per ben tre volte oltre il circolo polare antartico, fino a 71° Sud.» (Franco Marenco)‎

‎Cook James; Beagleole J. C. (cur.); Marenco F. (cur.)‎

‎Giornali di bordo nei viaggi d'esplorazione. Vol. 1: Il viaggio dell'«Endeavour» 1768-1771‎

‎br. «Cook fece tre viaggi di enorme portata scientifica, circumnavigò la terra risolvendo gli ultimi grandi problemi della geografia terrestre, navigando magistralmente in acque ancor oggi temute, rilevando coste micidiali; stette in mare ogni volta per circa tre anni, lottando vittoriosamente contro le malattie che decimavano gli equipaggi di viaggi consimili; si guadagnò la stima dei marinai e la venerazione degli indigeni, anche se perdette la vita per mano di questi ultimi in un fatale incidente; lasciò migliaia di pagine di diari e giornali di bordo, e innumerevoli carte perfettamente eseguite. Il teatro delle sue imprese fu l'Oceano Pacifico, fino ai suoi giorni il mare meno esplorato e quindi più misterioso e favoloso che ancora esistesse. Seppe affrontare e padroneggiare anche le coste più insidiose, e rivoluzionare di conseguenza, nello spazio di dieci anni, la visione europea di quel mare.» (Franco Marenco)‎

‎Londra‎

‎ill., br. Londra è elettrizzante.

Con questa guida scoprirete come rilassarvi nei migliori pub o nelle piazze georgiane più tranquille e conoscerete ogni quartiere, da Mayfair all'East End, da South Kensington a Soho. Londra offre musei imperdibili come il British Museum e la Tate Modem insieme a delizie culinarie provenienti da tutto il mondo. È difficile da vedere in poco tempo - noi vi consigliamo cosa non perdere, dalla National Gallery al Tower Bridge - ma se avete fretta, ricordate, c'è sempre la capillare ed efficiente metropolitana ("tube"). La guida offre suggerimenti sui luoghi da vedere, le escursioni, gli indirizzi utili, una selezione dei migliori locali per categoria, consigli d'autore e una serie di mappe dettagliate.‎

‎Inner Africa Laid Open.‎

‎London, Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1852. 8vo (148 x 228 mm). VIII, 149, (1), 32 pp. (ads). With folding frontispiece map, outlined in hand-painted colour. Original brown cloth, rebacked.‎

‎First edition of this work on the southern regions of the African continent, attempting to sketch a landscape heavily influenced - but little understood by - Europeans. Its author William Cooley was an Irishman who had himself travelled to some parts of Africa, and in his work he attempts to sketch some of his own routes as well as the journeys of Livingstone and other more famous names through sub-equatorial Africa. - Cooley was famous for his stubborn insistence on a few major errors in African geography, such as his opinion that there could be no snow-capped mountains on the continent (despite being presented with evidence of Mount Kilimanjaro), or that Lake Nyasa (also known as Lake Malawi) and Lake Tanganyika formed a single body of water. However, he spoke Kiswahili and was instrumental in debunking a famously (but, to this day, debatably) fraudulent account of a voyage through Africa by Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Douville (1797-1837). - Rebacked, spine replaced. - From the collection of the U.S. conservationist Esmond Bradley Martin (1941-2018), long a U.N. special envoy for the conservation of rhinoceros.

‎First edition of this work on north-west Africa from the Maghreb to the Gold Coast, proposing an Arab-centric interpretation of a geopolitical landscape little understood by Europeans. Its author, the Irishman William Cooley, was aided and provided with Arabic texts and translations by the Spanish orientalist Pascual de Gayangos y Arce (1809-97). - Includes a large folding map titled "Sketch of a Map to illustrate the Arab Geography of Negroland", which delineates the African landscape from Tripoli to Cape Verde. Its most particularly detailed routes are along river systems, but also sketches out a landscape of Saharan place names and routes, including the territory of the Bedouin Beni Hassan tribes, who migrated thence in roughly the 11th century (with their origin placed by some scholars in Yemen). Saharan caravan routes run along place names such as Beni Wareth, Weinhilún, Aúkarit, and Támadelt. - Much of the text is devoted to the histories of ancient states like Ghana and Mali, as well as tracing the well-known travels of Ibn Battuta. Cooley was famous for his stubborn insistence on a few major errors in African geography, such as his opinion that there could be no snow-capped mountains on the continent (despite being presented with evidence of Mount Kilimanjaro), or that Lake Nyasa (also known as Lake Malawi) and Lake Tanganyika formed a single body of water. However, he spoke Kiswahili and was instrumental in debunking a famously (but, to this day, debatably) fraudulent account of a voyage through Africa by Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Douville (1797-1837). - Light offsetting to map, some foxing near end. Faint rubbing to covers, spine splitting at top, but generally in good condition. - From the collection of the U.S. conservationist Esmond Bradley Martin (1941-2018), long a U.N. special envoy for the conservation of rhinoceros, with the original 1975 invoice from Francis Edwards Ltd. of London to Martin loosely inserted. - Macro 745.‎

‎Africa contemporanea. Dalla decolonizzazione a oggi‎

‎br. In età contemporanea la società africana ha attraversato periodi di speranza, rassegnazione, nuove opportunità e profonde incertezze. La storia della trasformazione democratica ed economica dell'Africa, segnata prima dal colonialismo e poi dalla lotta per l'indipendenza, mette in luce le difficoltà nel porre fine al dominio coloniale e l'incapacità degli Stati indipendenti di assicurare la pace, la democrazia e il progresso economico e sociale. Dopo le aspettative dovute alla decolonizzazione, l'indipendenza apparve un'illusione: nei nuovi Stati, politicamente sovrani ma economicamente e culturalmente dipendenti dalle potenze coloniali, la tendenza fu infatti quella di chiudere il proprio spazio politico attraverso l'istaurazione di dittature e di fragili democrazie minacciate da colpi di Stato e conflitti regionali. Il libro ripercorre lo sviluppo democratico ed economico che ha modellato la società africana dal 1940 a oggi, individuando le responsabilità delle ricorrenti crisi ed esplorando le future alternative che si offrono al continente.‎

‎Very first edition, printed in Lahore in the Punjab region in 1858, of a controversial account by "a Punjab employé". This employee was Frederick Henry Cooper (1827-69), a British civil servant working with the British East India Company in the Punjab region. A very early publication on the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the present work was possibly published before, or in any case simultaneously with, the London edition of the same year. Both the Lahore and London editions are dedicated to Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, a British military officer, surveyor, administrator and statesman in British India, who died during the Revolt of 1857. Only the Lahore edition was, according to the title-page, published "for the benefit of the 'Lawrence Asylum'", a military-style boarding school envisaged by Sir Henry Lawrence in the Indian subcontinent highlands for the sons and daughters of British soldiers. - The Revolt (also known as the Indian Rebellion, Sepoy Mutiny, or First War of Independence) was a major uprising in India against the rule of the British East India Company. The conflict took place from May 1857 until November 1858, during which time the British brutally inflicted on the Sepoys and local Indian civilians losses of more than 800,000 people. This eventually resulted in a British victory, the end of the East India Company's rule in India, and the transfer of rule to the British Crown. - A notorious participant in the Revolt, Cooper - together with James Neill, John Nicholson and William Hodson - was responsible for the killing of some 500 Sepoys and civilians. The present work was controversial even at the time of its publication, as it includes an entirely unapologetic and almost gleeful account of Cooper's ruthless actions. Regardless of the controversy surrounding Cooper and his work and its condemnation by an MP in the House of Commons in 1859, Cooper was appointed CB by Queen Victoria in the 1860 Birthday Honours while serving in the Bengal Civil Service. Taylor places the work in context: "Cooper was Deputy Commissioner of the Punjab, based at Amritsar and, although a civilian, was responsible for the 'extermination' of the disarmed 26th BNI at Ujnalla, in particularly inhumane and unpleasant circumstances, for which he was praised and supported by his superiors but roundly condemned by many in the House of Commons when news reached London. He wrote this book to vindicate his conduct which he considered ?prompt, spirited, and thorough?". - The title-page is signed by the author "Fred Cooper C.B.". The margins contain pencil and ink annotations, most of which give translations of terms and occasional comments on the text itself, by someone who served with the 61st Brigade and has initialled some of his notes "K.C.". Corners of the boards very slightly scuffed; outer margin of pp. 25-28 cut slightly short without affecting the text; some occasional very slight spotting. Otherwise in very good condition. - Ladendorf 244. Taylor, Companion to the Indian Mutiny of 1857 (OUP, 1996), 170.‎
