The book includes portraits, illustrations, and maps and was written by the School Manager/Secretary in the Norwegian Whaling Association. It is all in the Norwegian language and is a history of Norway's whaling industry. The book's exterior has two worn corners, and two moderately worn corners, worn marks along the bottom edges and less wearing marks on the top edges, and worn areas at the top and bottom edge of the spine. In addition, the spine is faded and darkened and there is one small hole on it. The interior book has the former owner's (Whaling Museum) bookplate inside the front cover along with a sticker below it, and a worn spot/hole on the next inside page. Outside of those detriments, there are no further visible distractions, detriments, or extraneous markings throughout the book and thus all printing and the numerous photographs and illustrations are all in a very well-preserved and readable condition and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore sound.

If you order this book from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, padded, and then boxed and sent right away to you and comes with our absolute appreciation for your interest and your order. If shipped outside of the continental USA, there may be additional postage due to the weight of the book.

xvi+469 pages with appendix and bibliography. Royal octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First editionFocusing on the fate of the natives under Spanish rule, the author traces in graphic detail the rupturing of Indian traditions and the fate that befell the Indian people. While demonstrating the excesses of the conquistadors and unscrupulous crown officials, he also emphasizes that Central America was the scene of the first attempt to apply the famous New Laws. Although that legislation was not fully implemented, the reformist judge Alonso Lopez de Cerrato made significant improvements in labor conditions, in the face of furious opposition from the Spanish settlers. Aside from it discussion of labor practices, this account deals with population figures and the extent of the slave trade, and corrects a number of errors in traditional sources. In addition, Spanish Indian policy, particularly at the local level, is examined… Read More

45 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") issued in wrappers. Edited by Luis Vargas Rea. From the library of professor George M Foster. First edition limited to 100 copies.George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of… Read More
