Haberland, Wolfgang The Art of North America.
Greystone Press 1968. Hardcover in DJ. Good Good Octavo
257 pp ‘As an ethnologist as weel as an art historian, Haberland has drawn on the full range of our growing knowledge of the indigenous peoples of North America. In this survey of their art and architecture, he begins by examining the background of the early settlements of the New World and the broadly diffused rock paintings, and then deals in turn with the Eskimos, the Indian tribes of the various regions of the present U.S. – the Northwest, California, the Southwest, the Plains, the Northeast, and the Southeast- and finally the original inhabitants of the West Indies. The geographic, economic, social, and religious factors that conditioned the development of the art of North America receive full attention, and the author shows how intimately the styles of the artists were influenced the nature of the raw materials available – bone in the North, wood in the Pacific Northwest, stone and clay in the Southwest. The illustrations have been chosen for their intrinsic appeal no less than for their documentary interest, and demonstrate that the art of these regions can rival the monuments of Mexico and Peru. Many of the subjects illustrated are here reproduced for the first time. For all their richness and variety, the arts of indigenous North America have, until recently, been largely neglected; this volume goes far to redress the balance. 60 plates in full color and 95 line drawings are supported by eight maps, five chronological charts, and a detailed bibliography.’ 60 full-color plates, 95 black/white illustrations.

Haywood, John Encyclopaedia of the Viking Age.
Thames & Hudson. 2000 0500019827 Hardcover in DJ. Good Good Octavo
224 pp From the colorful accounts of early medieval chronicles to the heroic tales of nineteenth-century Romanticism, history has traditionally portrayed the Vikings as a race of bloodthirsty, marauding warriors. But in the late twentieth century, as archaeologists uncovered widespread evidence of peaceful Viking activity, a more balanced appreciation of the people from the North developed. The Encyclopaedia of the Viking Age does justice to both sides of the Vikings' story--the peaceful and the warlike. More than 400 copiously illustrated articles present every aspect of Viking society, including its history, laws, customs, industry, arts, literature, myths, religion, and folklore. Here one discovers not only how the Vikings successfully and brutally conquered vast areas of eastern and western Europe but also how they dressed, spent their leisure time, farmed and cooked, raised their children, used animals to heat their homes, and buried and celebrated their dead. Entries explain how they built ships that could carry them across the Atlantic Ocean, established trade routes to Constantinople and Baghdad, and eventually converted from paganism to Christianity. This comprehensive and invaluable book provides biographies of the leading personalities of the age, both the Vikings themselves and those who opposed them, while maps and entries on the Vikings' key cities, towns, and villages reflect the vast extent of their world. A historical introduction describes the origins of the Viking Age and explains why it ultimately came to an end, and a concise chronology serves as a useful overview of the period.

230 pp "This richly illustrated volume focuses on the hundred years between 966 and 1066, tracing the cultural, dynastic and political background to this dramatic time. The story begins with a thematic evaluation of the Anglo-Danish conflicts of Ethelred's reign and the Danish supremacy of Cnut. The brief reigns of Cnut's own sons led to the improbable coronation in 1042 of Edward the Confessor. The core of the book discusses the politics and rivalries of his reign, suggesting that Edward himself was in large part responsible for the succession crisis of 1066.The claims of the principal candidates are considered, and the traumatic events of that year explored."
