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 Herbert Palmer was an American scholar and author born on March 9, 1842, in Boston, Massachusetts. A graduate of Phillips Academy Andover, Palmer went on to Harvard University, where he not only earned his degree but also later became a professor. Known for his academic contributions, Palmer s most notable works include his translation of The Odyssey, as well as books focusing on education and ethics, such as The New Education and The Glory of the Imperfect. Palmer's academic and literary work centered around the development of individuals and the moral aspects of education. His deep interest in ethics led him to explore the intersections of personal growth and intellectual achievement. Palmer s influence extended beyond his own writings, as he shaped many young minds at Harvard. He passed away on May 8, 1933, at the age of 91. Throughout his life, Palmer's dedication to education and philosophy left a lasting impact on both American scholarship and the broader academic community.
