Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Originally published in 1869. An important early natural history
title. The book contains many life size illustrations from nature
of each species, including the more striking varieties. Each insect
and its caterpillar is described in detail together with dates of
appearance and localities where found. This book will appeal
greatly to all with an interest in entomology with its descriptions
of some of the rarer and possibly now extinct varieties. Many of
the earliest natural history books, particularly those dating back
to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic
works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
The United Nations and Human Security analyzes the changing peace and security challenges faced by the UN in an evolving international environment that is no longer solely characterized by states and inter-state security. The authors, who comprise both scholars and UN practitioners, cover a wide range of pressing current issues--including refugees, international tribunals, the promotion of democracy, ethics, regional organizations, humanitarian intervention, conflict prevention, and peacekeeping--that form a cutting-edge and controversial security agenda.
