"Moonstone is proud to present The Green Hornet Chronicles, the… first anthology featuring all-new, original crime fiction tales of the man who hunts the biggest of all game, public enemies that even the FBI can't reach! It's the mid 1960s, the political climate is shaky, there's civil unrest, freedom and equality issues erupt everywhere from film to music to out in the streets. On police records, The Green Hornet is actually a wanted criminal, a master manipulator, a crime boss who has his fingers in every pie. In reality, The Green Hornet is actually Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel. His goal is to destroy crim from within by posing as a criminal himself." - from the rear outer cover.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating geological history of Newfoundland, a large island off the eastern coast of Canada. The author meticulously details the island's diverse rock formations, meticulously classifying them by their geological periods - from the ancient Laurentian era to… the Carboniferous period. The text, originally compiled as a series of annual reports, offers a comprehensive overview of Newfoundland's geology, including the locations of key rock formations and the discovery of valuable minerals such as copper and iron ore. The book's descriptions of the various rock types and their formation processes are particularly noteworthy, as they contribute to the understanding of the island's unique landscape, while also highlighting the economic potential of its mineral resources. This book serves as a foundational text for understanding the geological processes that shaped Newfoundland and its mineral wealth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Hardcover, printed in Germany (not an economy edition), xiv + 342 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Recently, there has been an increased interest in research…on personality, temperament, and behavioral syndromes (henceforth to be referred to as personality) in nonhuman primates and other animals. This follows, in part, from a general interest in the subject matter and the realization that individual differences, once consigned to 'error' terms in statistical analyses, are potentially important predictors, moderators, and mediators of a wide variety of outcomes ranging from the results of experiments to health to enrichment programs. Unfortunately, while there is a burgeoning interest in the subject matter, findings have been reported in a diverse number of journals and most of the methodological and statistical approaches were developed in research on human personality. The proposed volume seeks to gather submissions from a variety of specialists in research on individual differences in primate temperament, personality, or behavioral syndromes. We anticipate that chapters will cover several areas. The first part of this edited volume will focus on methodological considerations including the advantages and disadvantages of different means of assessing these constructs in primates and introduce some statistical approaches that have typically been the domain of human personality research. Another part of this edited volume will focus on present findings including the physiological and genetic bases of personality dimensions in primates; the relationship between personality and age; how personality may moderate or impact various outcomes including behavior, health, and well-being in captive and non-captive environments. For the third part of the volume we hope to obtain summaries of the existing work of the authors on the evolutionary important of personality dimensions and guideposts for future directions in this new and exciting area of research. -- Contents: I.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT EARLY EXPLORATION INTO AFRICA AND A RARE EDITION IN FULL CONTEMPORARY CALF WITH ORIGINAL SPINE PANELS AND WITHOUT REPAIRS. A cornerstone to any collection of Africana, this is one of the earliest and greatest illustrated works on the seminal discoveries to be made on the continent over A hundred year period. This set with the added murray volume rarely encountered in matching binding as here. With time on his hands and at the urging of a friend, Bruce composed this account of his travels on the African continent, including comments on the history and religion of Egypt, an account of Indian trade, a history of Abyssinia, and other such material. Although Bruce would not be confused with "a great scholar or a judicious critic., few books of equal compass are equally entertaining; and few such monuments exist of the energy and enterprise of a single traveller" (DNB). "The result of his travels was a very great enrichment of the knowledge of geography and ethnography" (Cox II, p. 389.) Bruce was one of the earliest westerners to search for the source of the Nile. In November of 1770 he reached the source of the Blue Nile, and though he acknowledged that the White Nile was the larger stream, he claimed that the Blue Nile was the Nile of the ancients and that he was thus the discoverer of its source. The account of his travels was written twelve years after his journey and without reference to his journals, which gave critics grounds for disbelief, but the substantial accuracy of the book has since been amply demonstrated. James Bruce traveled to Egypt in 1768 accompanied by the Italian artist Luigi Balugani. They spent five years in Upper Egypt, Abyssinia, and in the exploration of the Nile. With the exception of the French surgeon Poncet, no European had visited Abyssinia in over 150 years, so Bruce's account was of unique importance in providing valuable information on the region to Europeans. The plates, based on his own and Balugani's drawings, include maps, botanical and zoological specimens, antiquities, artifacts and plans of monuments. A cornerstone to any collection of Africana, this is one of the earliest and greatest illustrated works on the seminal discoveries to be made on the continent over a hundred year period.

Bruce attempted to find the source of the Blue Nile by traveling to Ethiopia, wh…ere the source was reputed to be located. He began his journey in Egypt in 1768, navigating the Red Sea to Jiddah, landing in Arabia and Massawa. His party set out from Gondar to the Ethiopian highlands, eventually reaching Lake Tara and Gish Abay, the source of the Blue Nile, in 1770. From Gondar, he began the arduous 1200 mile trek through the Sudanese desert back to Cairo. When he returned to Britain his incredible accounts were met "by scepticism concerning the truth of Bruce's claims" -DNB. In 1790 he published his 5 volume "Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile" to support his account of his travels. The book was an instant success, but doubts lingered and Bruce was for a time unfairly deemed a travel fraud. The 2nd and 3rd editions of Bruce's Travels were "edited by the oriental scholar Alexander Murray, whose painstaking examination of Bruce's papers established a more reliable text of his travels and whose biography of Bruce (1808) is an important contemporary source." - DNB.
