Audubon's ambitious project to paint all the birds of North America resulted in a work that represents one of the great steps of ornithology.

This impressive collection ranges from the Greater Flamingo and Bald Eagle to the Carolina parakeet.
This leading text offers a comprehensive, richly nuanced, and authoritative introduction to European geography. Coverage encompasses the entire region: its physical setting and environment, population and migration, languages and religions, and political organization.

Combining vivid description, essential information, and cogent analysis, the text is illustrated with more than 200 photographs and 64 maps.
EVERY DISASTER HAS A STORY, none more thrilling this one. Set during the great San Francisco earthquake and fire, this page-turning tale of political corruption, vendettas, romance, and rescue-and-murder, is based on recently uncovered facts that will forever change our understanding of what really happened. Told by Annalisa Passarella, a feisty young reporter, the novel paints a vivid picture of life in the post-Victorian city, from the gilded ballrooms of Nob Hill to the seedy bars of the Barbary Coast; from the slave ships in the bay, to the front row seats of Enriso Caruso's sold out performance.
