This book shows and illustrates the arrows of the world from the early history of mankind to this day, spanning the geographic
arch from Africa through Europe, Middle East, the Indian subcontinent with Nepal, China and Mongolia, Northern Asia, Central Asia with Japan, Korea, the Malay Archipelago, Oceania, North America with Alaska, Central America and
South America to Tierra del Fuego.
The structuring within the chapters is arranged according to the fertility of the finds and sources as well as other specific topics.
The poisons of the arrows, their analysis and use, are explicated in the respective chapters.
Finally, a detailed glossary with more than 2500 terms is added, which allows the search for names and terms. Thus, the work
can also serve to determine artefacts whose origin the owner was previously unknown or uncertain.
With more than 770 photographs, 224 graphics, 46 panels and 29 maps, most of them in colour, this compendium is a treasure
for every collector, archer and arrow maker.
