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
John Fiske was an American philosopher and historian. He was highly influenced by Herbert Spencer and incorporated Spencer's evolutionary principles into his own studies on languages, philosophy, religion, and history. John Fiske was born Edmund Fiske Green on March 30, 1842, in Hartford, Connecticut. He was the sole child of Edmund Brewster Green of Smyrna, Delaware, and Mary Fiske Bound of Middletown, Connecticut. His father edited newspapers in Hartford, New York City, and Panama before dying in 1852. His widow married Edwin W. Stoughton of New York in 1855. Edmund Fiske Green took the name of his maternal great-grandfather, John Fiske, when his mother married for the second time. From 1869 to 1871, he was a philosophy professor at Harvard, then a history instructor in 1870, and finally an assistant librarian from 1872 to 1879. After quitting from the latter job in 1879, he was elected to the board of overseers and was re-elected when his six-year term expired in 1885. Beginning in 1881, he spoke on American history at Washington University in St. Louis on an annual basis, and he became a professor of American history there in 1884, but he continued to live in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
