Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve ...
Excerpt from Selections of American Humour in Prose and VerseIn making a selection from the humorous writers of America, I have been guided mainly by my own likes and dislikes. Hence this volume lays no claim to being either exhaustive or representative. I believe, however, that some of the very choicest bits of Yankee humour will be found in these pages, though I have been compelled to omit much that I should have liked to include.To all who ...

This book relates the current, insidious plight facing the human race as a direct result of a grand deception that has been imposed upon it for tens of thousands of years if not longer. This has been perpetrated by the systematic, ongoing falsification of history in much the same way as perpetrated by the powers that be in the suspiciously prophetic novel '1984', by George Orwell. We have all been deceived on a monumental scale by a tiny cliqu...
This book is the outcome of a cardiologist switching to clinical pharma cology in mid-career and may be seen as representing the interface between the two disciplines. In this second edition I have not tried to be encyclopaedic, but have asked the contributors to give a brief account of current practice, so that it represents the present state of cardiac thera peutics. Although some contributors are from Bart's, I have tried to spread my net...

Ein Zug rollt durchs winterliche Norwegen. In der Führerkabine sitzt Odd Horten, 67, auf seiner vorletzten Fahrt von Oslo nach Bergen. Morgen will er zum letzten Mal seinen Dienst antreten. Aber zum ersten Mal in fast vierzig Jahren verschläft der sonst so besonnene Horten und verpasst tatsächlich seinen letzten Zug. Das Missgeschick ist erst der Anfang einer unglaublichen Odyssee, in die Horten mit roten Stöckelschuhen an den Füßen stolpert.
