Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. 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. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. 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. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

William Charles Henry Wood was a Canadian historian, Scout leader, and naturalist, born on June 7, 1864, in Quebec City, Canada. He was well-known for his contributions to the understanding of Canadian history and his work as a writer. Wood's education included studies at Heidelberg University and Wellington College, which helped shape his scholarly pursuits. Throughout his life, he was passionate about both history and nature, dedicating much of his time to the exploration and documentation of Canada s past and natural environment. In addition to his historical work, Wood was actively involved in the Scout movement, where he held a leadership role. His contributions to Canadian historical literature, particularly his works on military history, were significant in the early 20th century. He passed away on September 2, 1947, in Quebec City, leaving behind a legacy as a prominent figure in Canadian historiography and a dedicated naturalist.
