From the author: Of the thirteen stories included in this volume, ?The Gold Wulfric,? ?The Two Carnegies,? and ?John Cann?s Treasure? originally appeared in the pages of the Cornhill; ?The Third Time? and ?The Search Party?s Find? are from Longman?s Magazine; ?Harry?s Inheritance? first saw the light in the English Illustrated; and ?Lucretia,? ?My Uncle?s Will,? ?Olga Davidoff ?s Husband,? ?Isaline and I,? ?Professor Milliter?s Dilemma,? and ?In Strict Confidence,? obtained hospitable shelter between the friendly covers of Belgravia. My title-piece, ?The Beckoning Hand,? is practically new, having only been published before as the Christmas supplement of a provincial newspaper. <p> This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. <p> This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. <p> Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: <p> For a second or so, as I looked, her eyes met mine with a defiant inquiry, and I was conscious that moment of some strange and weird fascination in her glance that seemed to draw me irresistibly towards her, at the same time that I hardly dared to fix my gaze steadily upon the piercing eyes that looked through and through me with their keen penetration. <p> …I had forgotten now all about my distrust of her: I had forgotten all about Irene and what I wished to say to her: I was conscious only of Cesarines great dark eyes, looking through and through me with their piercing glance, and Cesarines figure, tall and stately, but very voluptuous, standing close beside me, and heaving regularly as we looked at the orchids. <p> …She softened and melted immensely on nearer acquaintance; the Faustina air faded slowly away, when one saw her in her own home among her own occupations; and I came to look on her as a beautiful, simple, innocent girl, delighted with all our country pleasures, fond of a breezy canter on the slopes of Dartmoor, and taking an affectionate interest in the ducks and chickens, which I could hardly ever have conceived even as possible when I first saw her in Seymour Crescent. <p> …The very first day we arrived at Port-au-Prince, Cesarine said to me, with more shyness than I had ever yet seen her exhibit, If you wouldnt mind it, Harry, I should like to go at once, this morning?and see my grandmother. <p> …I dont know what devil prompted me, for I seldom spoke to him, even when we were told off on duty together; but I said at last, after a moments pause, If you are engaged to be married, as I suppose you are from what you say, I wonder you could bear to come away on such a long business as this, when you couldnt get a word or a letter from the lady youre engaged to for a whole winter.

Обзор этой книги огромный.Книга покрывает период значительно больший чем тысяча лет, от стихотворений Гомера до конца языческой религии и падения Римской Империи на Западе. В географическом расширении, повествование начинается с Греции, с небольших общин, возникших в темные времена завоевания и уничтожения, и деревнями бронзового периода на холмах Рима, и заканчивается Империей, которая объединяла не только Средиземноморский мир , а северные земли до Алжира, от Португалии до Сирии, от Рейна до Нила.

Starting Electronics, Third Edition Starting Electronics, Third Edition

Автор: Brindley Keith

Год издания: 

This book originated as a collection of feature articles, previously published as magazine articles. They were chosen for publication in book form not only because they were so popular with readers in their original magazine appearances but also because they are so relevant in the field of introductory electronics — a subject area in which it is evermore difficult to find information of a technical, knowledgeable, yet understandable nature. This book is exactly that. Since its original publication, I have added significant new material to make sure it is all still highly relevant and up-to-date.

Horses and Other Animals In Motion. 45 Classic Photographic Sequences Horses and Other Animals In Motion. 45 Classic Photographic Sequences

Автор: Muybridge Eadweard

Год издания: 

Эта книга - сборник фотографий различных животных в движении. Фотографии сделаны со скоростью 1/2000 секунды, и полученные секвенции кадров представляют собой типичные движения лошадей и других животных на расчерченном вспомогательной сеткой фоне. Большинство секвенций включают снимки с нескольких углов зрения. Лошади показаны в ходьбе, рыси, легком галопе, галопе, тянущими повозку и т.д. Также представлены движения собак, кошек, свиней, слона, козы, птиц и др. Книга является репринтом издания, выпущенного в 1887 году. На мой взгляд, будет полезна художникам в качестве референсов при изображении животных.
