The American Indians - Cycles of Life - HC 1st PRINT 1993

Description: “The American Indians - Cycles of Life” by The Editors of Time-Life Books - 1st PRINT Hardcover w/vinyl cover (8-1/2" x 11-1/8") - Published in 1993 by Time-Life Books - 176 pages (with numerous great black & white and color photos and illustrations) - NEAR MINT condition. Cycles of Life is one of 23 volumes in the outstanding Time-Life book series The American Indians. History, customs, mythology, and lore of the continent's first inhabitants are inter-woven in this rich new look at our Native American heritage. Lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs, paintings, drawings, and artifacts. Concentrating on growing up, rites of passage (especially puberty ceremonies and courtship and marriage), and spiritual beliefs and religion, the editors have created a kaleidoscopic yet focused tour through Indian America both past and present. Although the emphasis leans towards the peoples west of the Mississippi, examples from eastern tribes are provided as well. Tribes featured include the Apache, Blackfeet, Hopi, Inuit, Tlingit, Navajo, Sioux, Cheyenne, several Pueblos, and the Cherokee. The photographs and illustrations, both in black & white and in color, are superb. Well chosen to enhance the text, they are fairly evenly divided between the old and the contemporary and go far toward conveying the continuity and vitality of traditional ways. Again, this book is in NEAR MINT condition. No collection of books on American Indians is complete without this one. Please see the scan for the cover. You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated.
