Some years ago Edward Cole, a West Indian living in London,
discovered an extraordinary natural limestone landscape on land he
had bought in Trelawny, Jamaica, to build a house. Ever since the
discovery he has worked tirelessly to expose and display the
stones, created by nature millions of years ago and since buried by
earth, trees and bushes, in order to allow them to be seen by the
public. There are few if any other places in the world where you
can see such a rich array of examples of nature's work in carving
rock formations from limestone. They have now been used to create
an artful range of displays as the basis of the Limestone Garden.
This book is designed to inspire the reader and to reach a wider
geological audience.

This fully illustrated unabridged reprint contains almost a
thousand pages rhymes, stories and pictures to amuse children and
parents alike. This classic was first published on Christmas Eve
1875, when it sold thousands of copies. About the Author: Edward
William Cole, as a barely educated English boy, ran away from home,
and eventually created the Book Arcade in Melbourne, which had one
of the largest holdings of books in the world.
Iron ore is widely distributed over the world and has been mined
from ancient times, but Mexico, with a good supply of ore, was a
relative newcomer to the ranks of iron- and steel-producing
nations. This distinctive book offers a history of the Mexican iron
and steel industry through the 1960s. Archaeological evidence, the
author states, shows that the indigenous peoples of Mexico had
developed a technology of metallurgy-relying on gold, silver,
copper, tin and bronze-before the arrival of the Spaniards, but
those same peoples had no knowledge of iron. That knowledge and
accompanying technology arrived with the conquistadores. Extremely
slow development characterized the progress of iron mining in
Mexico and until the twentieth century ore mining and metal forging
continued to be handled on a small scale. By the turn of the
century two occurrences had combined to give Mexico an embryonic
steel market: the railroad grid had come to link Mexico's diverse
regions and Porfirio Diaz had used his personal power to eliminate
interstate tariff barriers to trade. In 1900 the first integrated
steel mill in Latin America was established in Monterrey-the city
that was to become the capital of Mexico's manufacturing sector.
Forty years later, shortages of steel imports provided the
motivation for the second stage of growth of the steel industry.
Much of the book is devoted to the study of this period of growth.
William E. Cole tells the whole story in this scholarly study,
which has as its twofold purpose a complete examination of the iron
and steel industry of Mexico and an assessment of the impact of
that industry on other sectors of the economy. Much space is
devoted to an analysis of the role of the Mexican government in
promoting and regulating the steel industry and to discussion of
the efficiency of the promotional tools employed by the government.
Further, he studies the status of the industry in the 1960s, its
production and its consumption, and presents a projection for the
future.
Author E.W. Cole was Australia's first bookseller, building his
bookshop, the Cole's Book Arcade, in Bourke Street Melbourne into
Australia's most loved and renown bookshop for over fifty years. A
riotous and incredible retail experience with tea salons, live
animals, a speakers corner as well as jugglers and buskers, E.W.
Cole created a book selling experience like no other. A true
eccentric (like many booksellers today...), E.W. Cole was a one man
publicity machine, writing columns in the paper, a staunch
adversary of the White Australia Policy and even advertising in the
Melbourne Herald for a wife in 1875: "I require a woman chaste,
sober, honest, truthful, intelligent, industrious, frugal, cleanly,
neat, not dressy, good-tempered, moderately educated and a lover of
home." Leaving a legacy of several best-selling and varied
publications, his most famous was the Coles Little Funny Picture
Book. A 'family' book filled with parlour games, puzzles, riddles,
illustrations and games, it took Australia by storm and sold
thousands of copies. This new edition of the Australian classic
contains selective facsimile samples from the original books of
humorous rhymes and poems, puzzles, stories, songs and cartoons,
optical illusions, illustrations of crazy inventions and machines
and much more. Chapters include Dolly Land, Girl Land, Boy Land,
Play Land, Drawing Land, Monkey Land, Froggy Land, Piggy Land,
Temper Land, Stealing Land and Laziness land. A true Australian
character and our most original and beloved bookseller and author,
with Cole's Funny Little Picture Book E.W. Cole created a unique
slice of Australian life which went on to delight and enchant
generations of Australian children and adults alike..
