William Elliot Griffis (1843-1928) was the leading American scholar on Japanese history and culture at the turn of the century. In 1908, he penned this captivating book, which contains twenty charming folktales that he felt captured the true spirit of Old Japan. Some of the tales he took directly from Japanese folklore, others he adapted from Japanese legends, operas, art, and customs. A few are based solely on Griffis' own experiences with Japanese life and culture. This volume is a photo-reproduction of the original 1908 edition. It includes color reproductions of all the original illustrations, which were beautifully executed by Decorative Designers, an influential graphic design firm active during the late 19th and early 20th century.

Radioactive Transformations contains the subject matter of the eleven lectures Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) delivered under the Silliman Foundation at Yale University in March, 1905. These lectures detailed the results of his experiments on the spontaneous degradation of radioactive substances. Following his first book, Radio-Activity, Radioactive Transformations was yet another seminal work on radioactive materials by this brilliant, energetic scientist who laid the foundations for modern nuclear chemistry and physics. Indeed, the work was so valuable that in 1908 Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on the disintegration of elements and the chemistry of radioactive substances. This book is a photo-reproduction of the original 1906 edition. It contains all of Rutherford's original text, charts,and diagrams.

In March of 1896, the Ndebele people revolted against the authority of the British South Africa Company to initiate what is known as the Second Matabele War, or First Chimurenga, one of many conflicts in the long embattled history of what is now Zimbabwe. Sunshine and Storm in Rhodesia is a riveting and thoughtfully written account of this war by a man who experienced it firsthand - Frederick Courteney Selous. In this book, Selous discusses the factors that led to the war, what life was like in the colony in the 1890's, race relations between the indigenous African population and the predominantly white European settlers, and the dangers and adventures he and other legendary military leaders such as Frederick Russell Burnham, Robert Baden-Powell, and George Grey faced as they led patrols to protect the settlers in the region, rescue the injured, and locate those who had been killed. Included are 17 illustrations, a map, a comprehensive index, lists of the names of those settlers and military personnel murdered, missing, or wounded in the rebellion, and a quantitative list of the homesteads, crops, and animals that were either stolen or destroyed. This Juniper Grove printing is an unabridged photo-reproduction of the original 1896 edition.

This novel by famed French author Alexandre Dumas gives us a sumptuous glimpse into the rich but tragic life of Queen Mary I (1542-1587) of Scotland. Dumas deftly conveys her wit and intellect and the grace and strength with which she handled the many turbulent events of her life. He follows her through troubled marriages, a biting betrayal by her half-brother, her rivalry with her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England, and the many years she spent in English captivity. We are left with a poignant view of the ill-fated queen's final moments on the scaffold, as she is beheaded on her cousin Elizabeth's orders.
