"In this wide-ranging historical survey [the author] shows that it was the Victorian British who gave the tiger its bad name: always trying to kill it, they saw the animal only when it was being threatened, and so described it as a cruel and ravening monster. This attitude,continuing until far into the present [20th] century, reduced tigers to the verge of extinction. Not until the launch of Project Tiger in the early 1970's did the tide begin to turn."

In 1963, Celestine Sibley first captured the spirit and charm of Atlanta in Peachtree Street, U.S.A. Taking as the heart of her book the street that makes the city beat, she recounted portions of Atlanta's history that distinguish it as one of the commercial and cultural centers of the South. But much has happened in the past quarter century, and now Sibley has revised Peachtree Street to include those architectural landmarks, heroes, and events that have shaped the years since 1963 to bring her fond portrait of Atlanta up to the present"--Jacke flap.; Celestine Sibley (May 23, 1914 - August 15, 1999) was an American newspaper reporter, syndicated columnist, and novelist in Atlanta, Georgia, for nearly sixty years. Sibley gained fame as an award-winning reporter, editor, and beloved columnist for the Atlanta Constitution from 1941 to 1999. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, "Sibley was one of the most popular and long-running columnists for the Constitution, and her well-written and poignant essays on Southern culture made her an icon in the South." In addition to her column, she covered Georgia politics along with many high-profile court cases. She also wrote 25 books, both nonfiction and fiction, including mystery novels. ; Patricia LaHatte, writer, newspaper executive, and artist, was born in 1917. LaHatte was an artist, specializing in watercolors. Following her graduation from the High Museum School of Art, she became Art Editor of The Sunday Magazine and rotogravure section of "The Atlanta Journal" in 1940. Named "The Journals" Picture Editor in 1943, a post she held for 11 years, she was the only female picture editor (at that time) of a US metropolitan daily newspaper. During her tenure, she was a five-time discussion leader on photo-journalism at the American Press Institute's seminars at Columbia University in New York City. Named Promotion Director of The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution in 1954, she became the first female member of the newspapers' executive committee. She was named 'Atlanta Woman of the Year in Business' in 1958. LaHatte died on June 11, 2010 ; dustjacket spine sunned, else FINE/VG. Signed by Author(s). Book.…

Sprache: Spanisch, ámina facsímil, Muy buen estado. Cubiertas: algo tostadas, leves roces. Interiores sin marcas y en excelentes condiciones. USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. El libro de los engaños es la versión española más importante del famoso Libro de Sindibad. Se conserva en un manuscrito único del que ya existen otras ediciones, si bien todas adolecen de presentar una lección adulterada por seguir las correcciones que de distinta mano y fecha posterior contiene el códice. La importancia de esta obra en la evolución de la narrativa española y su interés en cuanto a la ortografía, sintaxis, vocabulario y temática de la literatura medieval castellana, hacían necesaria una edición rigurosamente fiel al texto primitivo. John E. Keller, autor de esta edición, es Profesor de la Facultad de Letras en la Universidad de Carolina del Norte. Desde hace tiempo se dedica al estudio de la literatura y lengua españolas, fruto de cuyos trabajos son las distintas publicaciones que tiene hechas.
