Saltzman, Paul Beatles in Rishikesh
New York, N.Y., USA Viking Studio (Penguin Group) 2000 0670892610 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket
A rare photographic portrait of the world's greatest band. When the Beatles first incorporated an Indian string instrument called the sitar in the first notes of their classic song Norwegian Wood, they would forever change the sound and direction of pop music. They were beginning a love affair with Indian mysticism and music that would take them on a historic pilgrimage to the ashram of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The Beatles in Rishikesh is photographer Paul Saltzman's unique and beautiful record of his historic meeting with Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr at this special moment in their musical and personal lives. Because no professional photographers were allowed in the ashram, Saltzman has captured the only quality photographs of the band during this time period. Featuring 75 original, previously unpublished photographs as well as personal anecdotes of encounters with the hip and beautiful personalities of the 1960s who visited the ashram such as Mia Farrow, Donovan, and Mike Love of the Beach Boys, The Beatles in Rishikesh is an exclusive and intimate look at the world's most influential band. It is the perfect book for Beatles fans, pop music aficionados, and anyone fascinated by this historic moment in music. Slight wear.

Smith, Mark The Liturgy of Opening the Mouth for Breathing
Oxford, UK Griffith Institute / Ashmolean Museum 1993 0900416629 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket
Slight wear on cover. This is an ancient Egyptian mortuary text preserved in four manuscripts, located in Berlin, Strasbourg, Paris and Oxford. All are written in Demotic script and date to the early part of the 1st century AD. The purpose of this liturgy was threefold: to revivify the deceased oerson for whom it was recited, to provide them with offerings in the form of clothing and sustenance, to reintegrate them within the cosmos, ensuring their freedom of movement and acceptance among the company of gods. The liturgy is edited with an introduction, transliteration and translation, commentary, bibliography, glossary and photographs of all four versions. The Strasbourg MS contains additional textual material, of uncertain relation to the liturgy proper, which is treated as an appendix. 176 pages.

Staples, George W.; Herbst, Derral R. A Tropical Garden Flora: Plants Cultivated in The Hawaiian Islands and Other Tropical Places
Honolulu, HI, USA Bishop Museum Press 2006 1581780397 Hard Cover Very Good Very Good
A TROPICAL GARDEN FLORA sets a new standard for reference manuals about cultivated garden plants. More than a decade in preparation, this book will be indespensable for gardeners in the Hawaiian Islands and similar climate areas around the world. It describes more than 2,100 species of tropical and subtropical plants, provides brief descriptions and keys for identification, and weaves together the origins, uses, biology, landscape properties, and practical tips for propagating and growing each species. The rigorous taxonomic research that underpins A TROPICAL GARDEN FLORA assures that each species is correctly identified and reconciles many discrepancies between the botanical taxonomic literature and the horticultural names known to gardeners, as well as correcting errors in naming that have been repeated in other, less authoritative manuals. Thus, this new book will be the reference about tropical garden plants for decades to come. The plant descriptions and keys are augmented with Anna Stone's line drawings of more than 400 species, a comprehensive illustrated glossary of botanical terms, derivations of genus and species names, and an extensive list of published sources for additional information.
