CONTENT: Five-year-old Pablo can hardly wait to see how Abuelito, his grandfather, has decorated Pablo's tree for his birthday. When Mama first told her father that she was going to adopt a baby and name it after him if it were a boy, Lito went out and bought the tree for his grandson. He moved the tree from place to place and watered it, but he waited to plant it until the day that Mama finally brought Pablo home.

Fowler Museum of Cultural History, 1999. Assumed First Edition Printing Unknown. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. B&W drawings & color photos throughout. CONDITION: NO PRIORITY PLEASE. UNREAD c. 1997-9 Fowler Museum of Cultural History huge paperback, assumed first printing. Loaded with B&W artifact drawings from the tombs and surrounding areas with great color photos, as well. The Moche civilization is probably more intriguing/interesting than the Incas, IMHO. There are parts of the book that are in English and Spanish, but not the entire book. Fascinating archaeological study. While this may be slightly dated, the basic information is still relevant. Questions welcome & answered. CONTENT: This volume includes the results of a five-year excavation (1983-1987) at Pacatnamu, Peru, combining archaeological excavation with physical anthropology, botany, zoology, textile analysis, ethnography, and ethnohistory. Focuses on the period of Moche occupation. NOT fully bilingual.

A solo trek across 500 miles of uncharted prairie, an expedition to the Andes, harrowing encounters with grizzly bears and panthers, and tours of the royal palaces of Europe were among his many adventures.

Problem: Pale tanning to bottom page edges and tiny DJ edge wear. B&W photo section. CONTENT: This book considers the way two Anglo-Irish poets, W.B. Yeats and Seamus Heaney, have used archaeology in their work, and how it surfaced in their lives. As well as providing new insights on Yeats and Heaney, their poetry and its analysis provides a filter for an original reading of the history of archaeology as it emerged from the mid-nineteenth century. Christine Finn draws on an array of data, tracing the path of the poets through museums, their childhood landscapes, and archaeological sites in Ireland, Italy and Scandinavia. Past Poetic reveals the ways in which these two great poets received the past, as images in books and…

However, once they learn of Lara's plans, Trinity will stop at nothing to reach the location first. Trinity believes they can turn the tables on Lara, but in the darkness of the underground caverns, there are terrors in the depths that neither Lara nor Trinity anticipated.

Simon & Schuster, 1992. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Surprisingly, no illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD 1992 Simon & Schuster hardcover (blue boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Deckle edges. No illustrations. Introduction by Jan Morris. CONTENT: I have always had a problem with the term "lyrical" being applied to non-fiction works. I was wrong. THIS is lyrical - just not on each page. Australian novelist Keneally brings his lively imagination to bear on the American Southwest. This is a sometimes sketchy account of a midwinter swing, by car and cross-country skis, through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Keneally doesn't talk to people much, and his reactions to landscapes can be predictable: ``Maybe religion is so strong in this landscape because this is terrain which puts the human in his place.''
