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.
Tiger Price, a.k.a TP, takes on his first investigative case after
retiring from the prison system. The doors of his new business have
been open less than an hour when he receives a package from
lifelong friend Paul Peck, with photographs depicting a gruesome
murder scene. Paul's son is on trial for murder, and he hopes his
old friend can help prove his son's innocence. Tiger is wedged
within the confines of a courtroom as he desperately tries to
present the court with proof that his best friend's son is innocent
of murder. Tiger tangles with judges, district attorneys, court
clerks, and a shrewd DA investigator before reaching the core of
his case. As he takes his investigation to the streets of Los
Angeles, he encounters bums, hookers, drug dealers, and street
gangsters. This dark counter-culture is filled with danger and
deceit. In the midst of his investigation, Tiger Price joins forces
with an unlikely partner who is properly equipped to infiltrate the
venomous streets of Los Angeles. Tiger Price is relentless in his
investigation, hoping that an innocent verdict can be reached.
A wide range of new scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. This
collection of essays makes available a wide range of new
scholarship on Chaucer's poetry. Opening essays address the issues
of "Chaucerian representation" and "Chaucerian poetics", arguing
for the multiplicity and complexityof what Chaucer "represents" and
for the importance of his dual Anglo-French background in enabling
him to articulate that complexity. Chaucer's use of Ovidian and
Ciceronian sources and ideas is examined, and his pursuit of
simplicity and suspicion of "delicacy"; the potent issues of
sexuality and spirituality, and money and death (with Chaucer's own
ending and his thoughts on last things) complete the collection.

"Early Civilizations in the Americas: Biographies and Primary
Sources" presents a collection of twenty-three biographies and
primary sources---both text and photographs of artifacts---that
provide detailed and focused views of the people of the early
American civilizations, the artifacts they left behind, and the
sources upon which the history of the early American civilizations
are based. The volume is divided into three chapters: the Incas,
the Mayas and their Ancestors, and the Aztec Empire. Each chapter
is arranged loosely by topic and chronology. The biographies
include Inca emperor Pachacutec, Maya king Pacal, and Aztec emperor
Montezuma II. The primary sources feature artifacts such as the
Inca quipu, or knotted counting cords, the Maya sacred calendar,
and the Aztec Sun Stone. Also included are excerpts from the
memoirs and histories compiled by indigenous writers and Spanish
missionaries and conquerors in the decades following the conquest.
Each volume includes approximately 30 entries on long-term ethnic,
religious, political, territorial and economic conflicts between
nations today.
This title provides a comprehensive and objective overview of the
people, events, and documents that are key to understanding the
complex relationships of the countries and cultures of the Middle
East. We have fully updated each of the three components (Almanac,
Biography, and Primary Sources), as well as expanding the coverage
of the set, including such topics as the flowering of the Arab
Spring. Biographies focus on key figures, such as Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, Golda Meir, and Hosni Mubarak. 01
Explores the history and culture of Hispanic Americans, people in the United States whose ancestors--or they themselves--came from Spain or the Spanish-speaking countries of South and Central America.
In the second half of the 19th century, America transformed itself
into an industrial power, ready to assume a dominant position on
the world scene in the 20th century. The development of
industrialization and the consumer society brought about
opportunities for many Americans as part of an ever-growing middle
class, but also resulted in environmental and social degradation
that we continue to deal with at the present time.
UXL's "Development of the Industrial U.S. Reference Library:
Almanac" traces the influence of the British Industrial Revolution
on America and other nations and discusses such potent forces as
advances in transportation and communication, inventions that
transformed manufacturing and agriculture, the growth of trade and
much more.
"Biographies" includes entries on various notables, including
Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, Jay Gould, Jane Addams and
others.
"Primary Sources" provides excerpts and explications of seminal
sources, including legislative acts, accounts of daily life from
regular citizens, political cartoons and more. The set includes a
separately published comprehensive index.
For table of contents, sample pages or other volume specific
information see the entry for the "Almanac, Biographies" or"
Primary Sources."
