Найти книгу: "The Four Million - The Original Classic Edition"

A hundred years ago when I went to school, The ransom of Red Chief was REQUIRED (gag me with a spoon!) reading. <p> I was an avid reading convert from then on. <p> This book is full of great stories (Tobin?s Palm, The Gift Of The Magi, A Cosmopolite In A Cafe, Between Rounds, The Skylight Room, A Service Of Love, The Coming-Out Of Maggie, Man About Town, The Cop And The Anthem, An Adjustment Of Nature, Memoirs Of A Yellow Dog, The Love-Philtre Of Ikey Schoenstein, Mammon And The Archer, Springtime A La Carte, The Green Door, From The Cabby?s Seat, An Unfinished Story, The Caliph, Cupid And The Clock, Sisters Of The Golden Circle, The Romance Of A Busy Broker, After Twenty Years, Lost On Dress Parade, By Courier, The Furnished Room, The Brief Debut Of Tildy) and neat phrases (He was the kind of guy that if he saw a dollar in another mans hand, he would take it as a personal insult, if he couldnt get it any other way. He was as busy as a one armed paper hanger with the nettle rash.) <p> Do yourself a favor. Allow the Grand Master of the Short Story to fill your empty hours with pure delight. <p> Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: <p> By the two signs, answers Tobin, trying to explain, which ye display according to the reading of the Egyptian palmist from the sole of me hand, yeve been nominated to offset with good luck the lines of trouble leading to the nigger man and the blonde lady with her feet crossed in the boat, besides the financial loss of a dollar sixty-five, all so far fulfilled according to Hoyle. <p> …And thats what Im doing, says I, for, in my opinion, theres no fortune to be read from the palm of me hand that wasnt printed there with the handle of a pick. <p> …I invoke your consideration of the scene?the marble-topped tables, the range of leather-upholstered wall seats, the gay company, the ladies dressed in demi-state toilets, speaking in an exquisite visible chorus of taste, economy, opulence or art; the sedulous and largess-loving garcons, the music wisely catering to all with its raids upon the composers; the melange of talk and laughter?and, if you will, the Wurzburger in the tall glass cones that bend to your lips as a ripe cherry sways on its branch to the beak of a robber jay. <p> …In a poem he has to say that there is pride and rivalry between the cities of the earth, and that the men that breed from them, they traffic up and down, but cling to their cities hem as a child to the mothers gown. <p> …Why, Ive seen Kentuckians who hated whiskey, Virginians who werent descended from Pocahontas, Indianians who hadnt written a novel, Mexicans who didnt wear velvet trousers with silver dollars sewed along the seams, funny Englishmen, spendthrift Yankees, cold-blooded Southerners, narrow-minded Westerners, and New Yorkers who were too busy to stop for an hour on the street to watch a one-armed grocers clerk do up cranberries in paper bags.

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.

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.

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.
