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.

A book about the arrows of the world first requires one thing: the order of the world. What first appears simple when one begins to arrange according to continents but then is complicated, because movement of the cultures do not match the continents movements, especially concerning the Eurasian continent. On this largest continent on earth, so much has happened in the history of culture, that it is difficult to make a clear separation. Thus, the present work presents the world in turn both to the spread of the Homo sapiens, as well as the great cultures as they spread out. Mixtures can not be avoided. The major chapters will be: Africa, Europe, Middle East and Ottoman Empire, Indian Subcontinent with Nepal, China and Mongolia, North Asia, Central Asia with Japan, Vietnam, Malay Archipelago, Oceania, North America with Alaska and lastly South America down to Tierra del Fuego. The divisions within the chapters are based on the fertility of the finds and sources, vas well as other specific topics that result. The arrow poisons, their analysis and use, are explained in each appropriate Chapter. Lastly, a detailed directory is attached for the search for designations and terms. Thus, the work can also be used to determine artifacts whose origin the owner was previously unknown or uncertain. The origin of the illustration shown, is right next to the respective illustration and/or in the glossary. All other illustrations are from Hendrik Wiethase. The Bibliography closes the work. If quotations from old sources are inserted, then generally the same spelling remains from the respective original text.
