The Zour Khaneh Traditional Persian Gymnasium
by Barnard, C.N
- Used
- Paperback
Tehran: Bank Melli, 1970. Truly unique, a VG- copy written by the famed heart surgeon Christian Barnard and looking at the Zour Khaneh (House of Strength), an ancient Persian martial arts discipline dating back to before the reign of Ardeshir Babakan (2nd century AD). While there is apparently some disagreement over whether Barnard actually co-authored the title, the fact remains that this 174pp. book is an uncommon find. My research turned up 8 copies in libraries around the world. This copy is VG-, with slight edgewear and a few small creases to the cover. Illus. with dozens of B&W photos showing athletes performing the various martial art forms before visiting royalty, along with descriptions of the various disciplines, their history and development and a look at their significance in the country's history. Pages clean, binding sound, ornately decorated cover is clean and bright. Also includes an invitation from the President of Bank Melli Iran and his wife, given on April 28 1971, when the former owner was (presumably) given this book. A most unusual historical and cultural reference work.. Trade Paperback. VG-/No Jacket (As Issued).

Description:
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…
