This edition of Henry Morton Stanley's epic account of travels
through Africa in search of Professor Livingstone includes the
original sketches and illustrations of the journey. In the late
1860s, journalist and explorer Henry Morton Stanley was given an
assignment to find and relieve the explorer Dr. David Livingstone.
The respected doctor had not been in contact with civilization
since departing to the wilderness of Africa in 1866, in a quest to
discover the source of the River Nile. Henry M. Stanley set off on
what became a more than two year trek to find Livingstone. He and
his travelling company sojourned over seven hundred miles through
the exotic landscapes and forests of rural Africa. The intense,
tropical environment claimed the lives of many accompanying
porters, while Stanley's horse perished after a deadly bite from a
tsetse fly.
A number of historical events of the twentieth century gave rise to
migration, immigration, and exile to and within the European

religious minorities.
This classic textbook is now in its fourth edition and Steven
Stanley has teamed up with John Luczaj, an award winning field
geologist. Written from a truly integrated earth systems
perspective this updated edition includes new coverage on mass
extinction, the hot topic of climate change and Proterozoic
history. There is a wide range of interactive studying and teaching
tools available with this text, because of LaunchPad access. Earth
System History is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an

ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive
quizzing. See 'Instructor Resources' and 'Student Resources' for

An invaluable text in language and linguistics because it has a
unique scope: a one-volume description of the Spanish language and
its differences from English, and ranges from pronunciation and
grammar to word meaning, language use, and social and dialectical
variation. Designed for survey courses in Spanish linguistics with
technical concepts explained in context for beginners in the field,
"Spanish/English Contrasts" brings out the ways in which insights
into the two languages have evolved as scholars have built on the
work and research of others in the field. A bilingual glossary of
linguistic terms is provided to facilitate discussion in either
language.
This second edition is thoroughly updated to incorporate
insights and issues that have come to the fore from the explosion
of research in the past twenty-five years in all of the areas
covered by the book. It includes an expanded bibliography and
index, and adds new exercises for student application and class
discussion. Its approach remains broadly based however, in order to
accommodate a range of areas and data rather than focusing narrowly
on one single theory or research area, and it continues to
emphasize implications for language teaching, translation, and
other practical applications.
