Illustrationen, Karten. ; 31 cm Buch in sehr guter Erhaltung, Einband vorwiegend sauber und unbestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, ohne Einträge, Buchblock fest, Schutzumschlag gut, schwach lagerspurig, Art of the Baga: A Drama of Cultural Reinvention traces the art and cultural history of these very special African people from their legendary flight from the mystical highlands of the interior of Guinea to the coast, in their attempt to conserve their own religious ritual, to the eventual destruction of their traditions at mid century with the conversion to Islam and, with independence from France, the establishment of the Republic of Guinea under an iconoclastic Marxist regime. In the book, the Baga voice is heard prominently in the direct testimony of three Baga writers and forty Baga consultants of all ages and background experience, from ten-year-old boys to elders and ritual leaders of over 100 years of age.

Frontispiece, pp. 153-166. Original wrappers. Near Fine. First Edition. SIGNED BY DAVID BALTIMORE (on the front wrapper). Offprint of David Baltimore's Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1975. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1975 was awarded jointly to David Baltimore, Renato Dulbecco and Howard Martin Temin "for their discoveries concerning the interaction between tumour viruses and the genetic material of the cell." "After Renato Dulbecco discovered that tumor viruses operate by incorporating their DNA into the DNA of host cells, David Baltimore and Howard Temin--independently of one another--discovered that viruses with genomes consisting of RNA can also be inserted into host cells' DNA. This takes place through an enzyme known as 'reverse transcriptase'. The discovery that the information in RNA can be transferred to DNA meant that the generally accepted rule that genetic information was only transferred in one direction--from DNA to RNA, to protein--had to be modified" (Nobel Prize website).…
