Book excerpt: Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Island-Continent: A Naturalist's Holiday in Australia Away through the picturesque, undulating county of Kent, through the cold, flat clay lands of the Weald of Kent, where the labourers were planting the hop-poles through the more broken and diversified parts, where the Wealden Sands and the Lower Cretaceous rocks appear, clad with spring woods, and to where the billowy chalk Downs roll seawards from Folkestone to Dover. The weather had suddenly changed before I arrived at the latter place. It had become wet and windy, and it soon changed to blustery. The worst old tub of the many bad ones which convey passengers across the Straits to Calais lay bumping and straining at its moorings by the pier, and we had to wait and take our chance of a run or a plunge down the gangway on to the deck, amid a struggle of porters laden with luggage. Beyond the pier the white horses were rearing and rolling, and one felt that the Channel passage would be a good introduction to the Big Ferry over to Australia.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA: IN THE BUSH. From Adelaide there are many excursions which can be made up into the country, as towards the Great Lakes, or even up in the Flinders Range. Very shortly the railway between Melbourne and Adelaide will be completed, and this will practically open out a new country to the tourist, for the present overland mode of travel does not allow of sufficient time for exploration. Meantime, the wandering naturalist cannot do better than visit the valley of the Murray. There is now a railway from Adelaide to Morgan--a little town near the great north-west bend of the river. Everybody has heard of the Murray as being the principal river in Australia. Perhaps no other geographical feature gives one such a vivid idea of the vast extent and area of this island-continent. When we are told that one only of its rivers is more than 2,000 miles long, we obtain a mental grasp of the absolute bigness of the country. This river, together with its main tributaries, must have had a long and varied physical existence. Its upper reaches date backwards, perhaps, to the Devonian and Carboniferous periods; its lower lengths, the boldest and most strikingly-picturesque parts, are comparatively modern. In its upper reaches, there are places where the Murray has cut its way through cliffs 3,000 feet high. It drains half a million of square miles of country, and is one of the geologicallyoldest rivers in the world. Thus the different parts of even the same river have not all of them necessarily the same geological age, nor are they due to the same physical causes. This may seem a new doctrine to those who have hitherto imagined that all the rivers of the world were formed at the same time and in the same manner. I made Morgan my...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Islands have captured the imagination of scientists and the public for centuries - unique and rare environments, their isolation makes them natural laboratories for ecology and evolution. This authoritative, alphabetically arranged reference, featuring more than 200 succinct articles by leading scientists from around the world, provides broad coverage of all the island sciences. But what exactly is an island? The volume editors define it here as any discrete habitat isolated from other habitats by inhospitable surroundings. The Encyclopedia of Islands examines many such insular settings - oceanic and continental islands as well as places such as caves, mountaintops, and whale falls at the bottom of the ocean. This essential, one-stop resource, extensively illustrated with color photographs, clear maps, and graphics will introduce island science to a wide audience and spur further research on some of the planet's most fascinating habitats." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Archipelagic American Studies written by Brian Russell Roberts and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Departing from conventional narratives of the United States and the Americas as fundamentally continental spaces, the contributors to Archipelagic American Studies theorize America as constituted by and accountable to an assemblage of interconnected islands, archipelagoes, shorelines, continents, seas, and oceans. They trace these planet-spanning archipelagic connections in essays on topics ranging from Indigenous sovereignty to the work of Édouard Glissant, from Philippine call centers to US militarization in the Caribbean, and from the great Pacific garbage patch to enduring overlaps between US imperialism and a colonial Mexican archipelago. Shaking loose the straitjacket of continental exceptionalism that hinders and permeates Americanist scholarship, Archipelagic American Studies asserts a more relevant and dynamic approach for thinking about the geographic, cultural, and political claims of the United States within broader notions of America.

Book excerpt: *Best Books of 2014* New Zealand Listener Imagine a typical continent with seemingly endless land in all directions. There are broad valleys and uplands, wide-open vistas across undulating plains, and upstanding mountain ranges far in the distance. There may be prominent features that command attention and draw the eye, such as odd-shaped hills, peaks, pinnacles, mesas and volcanoes. And there may be canyons, valleys, gorges, large depressions and basins. Now imagine this same continent under the sea, and largely drowned. Welcome to Zealandia. Continents are some of Planet Earth's most striking geographic and geological features. To have a continental identity is to be important, significant, recognised. This book makes a compelling claim for Zealandia to take its place alongside Eurasia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia and Antarctica. Zealandia is a continent almost entirely submerged. With New Zealand as its largest inhabited land mass, it stretches north to incorporate New Caledonia, south beyond Auckland and Campbell islands, west beyond Australia's Lord Howe Island and east past the Chathams. Its ancestry reaches back more than half a billion years - a long, complex and dramatic story of growth, stretching, break-up, submergence, immersion and collision. The story of its cargo of plant and animal life is also one of change - of extinction, adaption and migration. A big book full of big ideas, and brought to you by renowned GNS scientists Hamish Campbell (co-author of In Search of Ancient New Zealand) and Nick Mortimer, Zealandia: Our Continent Revealed is in every respect a landmark publication - thought-provoking, visually stunning and eminently readable. 'I couldn't resist this superbly illustrated and persuasively written voyage through the distant past. It's fascinating stuff that will undoubtedly generate considerable debate.' - Christopher Moore, New Zealand Listener
