It starts ages before Columbus and, surprisingly, has never before been told to the general public~although it has long been a source of amazement and excitement to scholars. History itself is here surveyed from a fresh and entertaining point of view. The reader discovers the real reasons for the Trojan War, the importance of the Chinese silkworm, and what was perhaps the only wholesome by~product of the slave trade. What is the mystery behind the famous Kensington Stone, found by a Minnesota farmer? Why did the Portuguese believe, centuries ago, that an Earthly Paradise was hidden in the jungles of Equatorial Africa~a conviction that had enormous consequences for posterity? How were the Chinese, five hundred years ago, able to build junks that could accommodate twelve hundred persons, with first~class cabins, bathrooms and lavatories? What was the passion that led Queen Hatshepsut to send an expedition to the distant Land of Punt~and what fabulous cargo did she take away? Besides exploring these and a thousand other byways of history, Paul Herrmann has made Conquest by Man a powerful narrative of heroism, courage, and endurance, whether the hero is Marco Polo, facing the incredible dangers of unknown Asia, or the nameless wanderer who became Quetzalcoatl, the Bright God of the Aztecs. Seemingly fantastic legends are shown to be founded on even more fantastic fact~evidence of what the mind and will of man are capable of in order to blaze new trails across the globe. A monument of learning and wit, this saga of man's quest for his own world will absorb every kind of reader. In its original German edition, it held thousands spellbound, and now it has been published in France, Italy, Spain, Holland, Portugal, Brazil, Finland and England. A unique and vastly entertaining book. Profusely illustrated with 32 pages of half. tones, 60 in~text pictures and drawings and 31 maps.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1958). 1958 1st edition. 8vo (145 x 222mm). Pp222. B/w photographs, line drawings by the author. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. 21s. Good-plus in slightly chipped dust-wrapper. Publisher's review slip loosely laid in. A good, if slig…htly dated, introduction to UK sea angling. "Certain parts of this book originally appeared in abbreviated form as articles in Angling Times. [Also], it might perhaps be advisable to mention that I have no particular interest in any items of tackle described in this book. They have been chosen because they seemed most suitable for illustrating a certain point raised in the text, or were of a make and design that I have used for many years and found satisfactory." Chapters include:- For beginner's only; Making up the tackle; Baits; Pier and jetty fishing; Shore fishing; Rock fishing; Boat fishing; Boat-fishing techniques; Sea fish worth catching - and how to catch them; Night fishing; The fish's world; Sea-angling holidays; The sea-angler's workshop; Buying a boat; Boat maintenance; Cooking the catch. An appendix gives a list of British rod-caught record sea fish, compiled November 1957. .
