A very light indent to the lower left front cover (see photographs). "The most widely acclaimed, influential book on success ever published. For a quarter-century, Napoleon Hill interviewed hundreds of successful men and women under the guidance of the richest man of his time, Andrew Carnegie. In this timeless classic, he reveals the secret to their great achievements -- a powerful, proven formula that can empower you to achieve your own most cherished goals too. If there is one must-have guide you need on the road to high achievement and success -- to real riches in every aspect of your life -- this is it. Unlike most versions of Dr. Hill's book, this edition restores his masterpiece to its original form and intent. It includes essential material on how to thrive in challenging economic times that was taken out of later versions but is incredibly relevant today. This is the only edition of Think and Grow Rich that is fully annotated and indexed, providing key details about Dr. Hill's life and times, his life-long research, and the leaders of business and industry he studied to glean the invaluable principles of success you'll discover here." - from the rear outer cover.

A day-to-day field notebook, as well as an intimate diary of Bandelier's daily observations and moods, the Journal provide a firsthand account of a pioneering anthropologist's reactions to the Southwest. They contain the joys and frustrations Bandelier encountered in his early attempts to understand people and their environment. Bandelier traveled extensively in New Mexico during the years covered in the Journals. He visited nearly all of the northern pueblos, lived at Santo Domingo for a short time, and spent many months at Cochiti where he observed and recorded ceremonies and delved into the social organization of the pueblo. With little more scientific training than a keen intelligence, deep interest, and an ability to observe with care, Bandelier applied himself to anthropology with a passion that lasted throughout his life. Establishing the foundations on which a new science would someday rise was a task which fell to Bandelier, one of the first systematic anthropologists in America. His most important contribution lies in his attempt to combine several disciplines-history, ethnology, archaeology, and the Spanish literature of the Conquest-in studies of America's ancient cultures. His application of sound ethnological practices to the interpretation of archaeological ruins set him sharply apart from romanticizers of the American Indian. Illustrated with 21 Photographs, 2 Maps and more than 80 Drawings by Bandelier.

Dust jacket flap price is $20. This is the second volume of Adolph E. Bandelier's field notebooks and intimate diaries that pertain to his expeditions in the Southwest. Bandelier's observations, covering the years 1883 and 1884, provide a firsthand picture of a pioneering anthropologist's reactions to historical places and persons, as well as to the joys and frustrations he encountered while gathering ethnological data. Almost everything Bandelier saw fascinated him. Establishing the foundations of a new science was a task that fell to Bandelier, one of the first systematic anthropologists in America. His application of contemporary ethnological practices to the interpretation of archaeological ruins has set him sharply apart from popular romanticizers of the American Indian. During 1883 and 1884 Bandelier traveled extensively in New Mexico, Mexico, and Arizona- with brief trips to Illinois and Europe. While working in New Mexico, he came into contact with men like Lewis H. Morgan, Frank Hamilton Cushing, Jesse Fewkes, and Charles Lummis whose names are legendary with the inception of American anthropology. About fifty of Bandelier's charmingly casual drawings, reproduced from his originals in the margins and on the backs of the pages of his note- books, are integrated with the text. Also included are sixteen period-piece photographs, a map of his routes in 1883, and a map of northeast Sonora and northwest Chihuahua. The Journals, rich in details on the ceremonies and social organizations of the Indians he observed and enlivened with many cogent comments on the lives of his contemporaries, have been so carefully edited and annotated that they will not only give knowledge and pleasure to the general reader but will also serve present and future archaeologists and historians as a valuable reference.

From front flap: "In his 'Saturnia Regna,' Huginus Barma depicts the Hermetic Arcanum in such a way that he appears to have penetrated into the inner sanctum. Among other things, he says: 'Our mercury softens what is hard and hardens what is soft, fixes the volatile, and volatilises even the most fixed, renders lviing matter dead, and brings the dead to life through resuscitation, it is wet and it is dry. Whoever could render this subject to their will is without a doubt an heir of the Hermes of old.'" - Olaus Borrichius, 1696. From back flap: "Composed in Moravia in 1649, and published in Paris in 1657, the 'Reign of Saturn' emerged amidst the royal Hermeticists of the Holy Roman Empire. Bearing the distinct philosophical influence of Paracelsus, the Cosmoplitan, and the central salt manuscripts attributed to Michael Sendivogius, this unique text is consecrated to the 'Aqua sapientum' - the Water of the Wise which 'does not wet the hands.' Like the waters of creation and destruction which form the root of ancient cosmologies, this water underpins the philosophy and praxis of alchemical transmutation. Translated into English for the first time, this edition presents both the Latin text of the 'Saturnia Regna' together with a lucid facing-page translation by Michael A. Putman. Complemented by a detailed historical introduction ending at page 81 situating Huginus within the baroque world of seventeenth-century alchemy, this edition features rich annotation from Aaron Cheak and Mirco A. Mannucci, elucidating the text from a historical, philosohical, and practical standpoint." 302 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
