When first published in 1928, Herbert's work enjoyed immediate
success. The narrative is of considerable importance from an
historical point of view, as it gives the only detailed account of
the first English embassy to Persia. It also paints a graphic
picture of the Perisa and the Persians in the early part of the
seventeenth century, with vivid and extensive descriptions of the
towns of Abbas, Lar, Shiraz, Persepolis, Isfahan, Ashraf, Tehran,
Qazvin, Qum and Kashan.
This edition is based on the revised edition of 1677, but has in
turn been edited so that the version reprinted here includes only
what the author actually saw or gleaned at first hand. The notes
include identification of places and a glossary of the strange or
obsolete terms.

The only select volume of Emily Dickinson's poetry that truly represents the complete range of her work: 576 poems selected by the pre-eminent Dickinson scholar in America from the 1,1775 poems that form the body of her work.
Applied Underwater Acoustics meets the needs of scientists and
engineers working in underwater acoustics and graduate students
solving problems in, and preparing theses on, topics in underwater
acoustics. The book is structured to provide the basis for rapidly
assimilating the essential underwater acoustic knowledge base for
practical application to daily research and analysis. Each chapter
of the book is self-supporting and focuses on a single topic and
its relation to underwater acoustics. The chapters start with a
brief description of the topic's physical background, necessary
definitions, and a short description of the applications, along
with a roadmap to the chapter. The subtopics covered within
individual subchapters include most frequently used equations that
describe the topic. Equations are not derived, rather, assumptions
behind equations and limitations on the applications of each
equation are emphasized. Figures, tables, and illustrations related
to the sub-topic are presented in an easy-to-use manner, and
examples on the use of the equations, including appropriate figures
and tables are also included.

The only one-volume edition containing all 1,775 of Emily Dickinson's poems Only eleven of Emily Dickinson's poems were published prior to her death in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity in her lifetime. Early posthumously published collections -- some of them featuring liberally "edited" versions of the poems -- did not fully and accurately represent Dickinson's bold experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations. Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate the whole of Dickinson's extraordinary poetic genius. This book, a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems, brings together the original texts of all 1,775 poems that Emily Dickinson wrote. "With its chronological arrangement of the poems this volume becomes more than just a collection; it is at the same time a poetic biography of the thoughts and feelings of a woman whose beauty was deep and lasting." -San Francisco Chronicle
