Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Bien. Shapero Rare Books. 2000 aprox. Texto en inglés. The real cradle of civilization is not the Tigris and Euphrates valley, as there were human civilizations long before that.

Shapero Rare Books has issued a catalogue entitled Back to the Cradle, with the subtitle explaining what that means, 350 Years of Western Exploration and Adventuring in Africa.
