Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Excerpt from Our Island-Continent: A Naturalist's Holiday in Australia Away through the picturesque, undulating county of Kent, through the cold, flat clay lands of the Weald of Kent, where the labourers were planting the hop-poles through the more broken and diversified parts, where the Wealden Sands and the Lower Cretaceous rocks appear, clad with spring woods, and to where the billowy chalk Downs roll seawards from Folkestone to Dover. The weather had suddenly changed before I arrived at the latter place. It had become wet and windy, and it soon changed to blustery. The worst old tub of the many bad ones which convey passengers across the Straits to Calais lay bumping and straining at its moorings by the pier, and we had to wait and take our chance of a run or a plunge down the gangway on to the deck, amid a struggle of porters laden with luggage. Beyond the pier the white horses were rearing and rolling, and one felt that the Channel passage would be a good introduction to the Big Ferry over to Australia.

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI. SOUTH AUSTRALIA: IN THE BUSH. From Adelaide there are many excursions which can be made up into the country, as towards the Great Lakes, or even up in the Flinders Range. Very shortly the railway between Melbourne and Adelaide will be completed, and this will practically open out a new country to the tourist, for the present overland mode of travel does not allow of sufficient time for exploration. Meantime, the wandering naturalist cannot do better than visit the valley of the Murray. There is now a railway from Adelaide to Morgan--a little town near the great north-west bend of the river. Everybody has heard of the Murray as being the principal river in Australia. Perhaps no other geographical feature gives one such a vivid idea of the vast extent and area of this island-continent. When we are told that one only of its rivers is more than 2,000 miles long, we obtain a mental grasp of the absolute bigness of the country. This river, together with its main tributaries, must have had a long and varied physical existence. Its upper reaches date backwards, perhaps, to the Devonian and Carboniferous periods; its lower lengths, the boldest and most strikingly-picturesque parts, are comparatively modern. In its upper reaches, there are places where the Murray has cut its way through cliffs 3,000 feet high. It drains half a million of square miles of country, and is one of the geologicallyoldest rivers in the world. Thus the different parts of even the same river have not all of them necessarily the same geological age, nor are they due to the same physical causes. This may seem a new doctrine to those who have hitherto imagined that all the rivers of the world were formed at the same time and in the same manner. I made Morgan my...

Islands—as well as entire continents—are reputed to have disappeared in many parts of the world. Yet there is little information on this subject concerning its largest ocean, the Pacific. Over the years, geologists have amassed data that point to the undeniable fact of islands having disappeared in the Pacific, a phenomenon that the oral traditions of many groups of Pacific Islanders also highlight. There are even a few instances where fragments of Pacific continents have disappeared, becoming hidden from view rather than being submerged. In this scientifically rigorous yet readily comprehensible account of the fascinating subject of vanished islands and hidden continents in the Pacific, the author ranges far and wide, from explanations of the region’s ancient history to the meanings of island myths. Using both original and up-to-date information, he shows that there is real value in bringing together myths and the geological understanding of land movements. A description of the Pacific Basin and the "ups and downs" of the land within its vast ocean is followed by chapters explaining how—long before humans arrived in this part of the world—islands and continents that no longer exist were once present. A succinct account is given of human settlement of the region and the establishment of cultural contexts for the observation of occasional catastrophic earth-surface changes and their encryption in folklore. The author also addresses the persistent myths of a "sunken continent" in the Pacific, which became widespread after European arrival and were subsequently incorporated into new age and pseudoscience explanations of our planet and its inhabitants. Finally, he presents original data and research on island disappearances witnessed by humans, recorded in oral and written traditions, and judged by geoscience to be authentic. Examples are drawn from throughout the Pacific, showing that not only have islands collapsed, and even vanished, within the past few hundred years, but that they are also liable to do so in the future.
