(Rare Book Collection)
Book Description
Unedited, unabridged, original format editions with original colored cover art, these Henty books
reproduce the original in careful detail.
The Story of Wat Tyler's Rebellion is but little known, but the hero of this story passes through
that perilous time and takes part in the civil war in Flanders which followed soon after. Although
young he is thrown into many exciting and dangerous adventures, through which he passes with great
coolness and much credit. Brought into royal favor he is knighted for bravery on the battlefield,
and saving the lives of some wealthy merchants, he realizes fortune with his advancement and rank.
New light is thrown on the history of this time and the whole story is singularly interesting.
The events that took place during the latter half of the fourteenth century and the first half of
the fifteenth are known to us far better than those preceding or following them, owing to the fact
that three great chroniclers, Froissart, Monstrelet, and Holinshed, have recounted the events with
a fulness of detail that leaves nothing to be desired. The uprising of the Commons, as they called
themselves - that is to say, chiefly the folk who were still kept in a state of serfdom in the
reign of Richard II.
Scientific American Magazine.October 2006 Scientific Americanis a popular-sciencemagazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience.
Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "
SciAm") had a monthly circulation of roughly 555,000 US and 90,000 international as of December 2005.[1] It is a well-respected publication despite not being a peer-reviewedscientific journal, such as
Nature; rather, it is a forum where scientific theories and discoveries are explained to a wider audience. In the past scientists interested in fields outside their own areas of expertise made up the magazine's target audience. Now, however, the publication is aimed at educated general readers who are interested in scientific issues. The magazine
American Scientist covers similar ground but at a level more suitable for the professional science audience, similar to the older style of
Scientific American.
The Mad Hatter, the Ugly Duchess, the Mock Turtle, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat-characters
each more eccentric than the last, and that could only have come from Lewis Carroll, the master of
sublime nonsense. In this brilliant burlesque he created one of the most famous and fantastic
novels of all time that not only stirred our imagination but revolutionized literature.
