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.

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

Shelford Bidwell (1848–1909) was an English physicist and inventor with a keen interest in the properties of light and optics. His contributions to the field are well encapsulated in his notable work 'Curiosities of Light and Sight,' in which he expounds on the fascinating phenomena of light and vision, combining scientific rigor with an accessible style that appeals to both the scholarly community and the lay reader. His literary style often involved a descriptive approach that made complex scientific concepts understandable and engaging. Bidwell's work was particularly influential in the development of early optical and imaging technologies, reflecting his innovative spirit and his dedication to advancing the understanding of light and its interaction with the human eye. A scholar well ahead of his time, Bidhead was capable of mesmerizing his audience with the wonders of light, contributing significantly to the field and leaving an indelible mark on the scientific community. Although not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Bidwell's legacy lives on through his writings, which continue to inspire and educate those with an interest in the optical sciences.
