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.

Autorenporträt

George Sutherland was an insightful thinker and writer, best known for his work on technological advancements and their potential societal impact. In his book Twentieth Century Inventions: A Forecast, Sutherland explored a wide range of innovations that he predicted would transform the world. One of his most forward-thinking ideas was the use of wireless telegraphy to synchronize clocks across a given area, ensuring that all timepieces within that region would be set to a single, standard time. This concept, far ahead of its time, anticipated the global systems of time synchronization that would later be made possible by technologies like GPS and atomic clocks. Sutherland's work reflected his deep interest in how emerging technologies could streamline daily life and improve efficiency. His writing not only captured the excitement of a rapidly changing era but also demonstrated his ability to envision the long-term implications of these innovations. Through his predictions, Sutherland contributed to the broader dialogue about the transformative potential of science and technology during the early 20th century.
