Near-fine condition."In December 1995 Gilbert Bland was chased from the Peabody Library of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, clutching four 232-year-old maps. He turned out to be one of the greatest map thieves in history. Miles Harvey has spent four years tracing Bland's journey from middle-class anomymity to dark criminality, attempting to understand what drove Bland to steal some of the rarest cartographic treasures in the world.. In The Island of Lost Maps Harvey with great panache and wit conveys an intriguing subculture of map junkies whose cartomania is an obsession both surreal and sublime, who see maps as'power-imbued fetishes'. It is a sparkling story of artisans, villainy and riveting adventures into the unknown." Books: The Island of Lost Maps. A True Story of Cartographic Crime

Good to very good condition."This work, mainly about the habits of and adventures with baboons, is a translation of articles written in Afrikaans by the late Eugène Nielen Marais (the author of The Soul of the White Ant). The articles appeared originally in Die Vaderland. Subsequently collected and arranged by Dr. M. S. B. Kritzinger, they were published in book form under the title Burgers van die Berge, by J. L. van Schaik Ltd., of Pretoria. These chapters in popular vein are but sparks from the anvil on which the author had been fashioning for years a more detailed and scientific work, The Soul of the Ape, the final manuscript of which has unfortunately been lost. A small portion of the first draft of The Soul of the Ape has, however, been included."
