Product Description
Publisher to the Decadents chronicles the experiences of Leonard Smithers (1861 1907), a key figure in the literary culture of late Victorian England. In his day he was known primarily for publishing books of upscale pornography. He became the publisher of choice for the Decadents, including most notably Oscar Wilde and Audrey Beardsley. While a young solicitor in his native Sheffield, Smithers established a correspondence with the famed explorer and translator of exotic texts, Captain Sir Richard Burton. Burton translated The Thousand Nights and a Night (popularly known as The Arabian Nights), which was published by Smithers in 1885. Smithers collaborated with Burton in the publication of two Latin texts, the Priapeia and the Carmina of Catullus, both of erotic cast. After the death of Burton in 1890, Smithers continued a significant involvement with his work, serving as an adviser to Lady Isabel Burton. During this time Smithers formed a partnership with Harry Sidney Nichols, and together they produced a series of pornographic books under the imprint of the Erotika Biblion Society.The years between 1895 and 1900 were Smithers's glory years when he managed to publish a number of books illustrated by Beardsley, a magazine known as the Savoy, and books of verse by Ernest Dowson and Arthur Symons that have proved to be the finest expression of the Decadent Movement. Throughout his career Smithers sought to produce attractive, well-made books that were tastefully designed and printed.This book provides expansive insight into the prizes and pitfalls of an early English publisher of the decadent Nineties. It is the final volume in a trilogy of books on a group of publishers who contributed much to the literary and artistic movements of the 1890s in England. The two previous books are The Early Nineties: A View from the Bodley Head (Harvard, 1971) and Elkin Mathews: Publisher to Yeats, Joyce, Pound (Wisconsin, 1989). ... Read more

Snowblind
Snowblind is the story of legendary cocaine smuggler, Zachary Swan, whose exploits and scams in the sixties and early seventies ran rings around police and custom officals alike.

Robert Sabbag's riveting account of Swan's brief career provides a compulsive insight into the cocaine underworld in which all the double-dealing crazy characters and paranoia are captured brilliantly. The result is one of the funniest and most illuminating books about the drug trade ever written - a genuine underground classic.

Product Description
If you are interested in a career that lets you use mechanical and problem-solving abilities, offers variety, good pay, job satisfaction and security, then consider air conditioning and refrigeration technology.

As a trained worker in this field you will use your hands and your thinking skills to design, install, maintain and repair equipment and systems, large or small. At the most basic level, refrigeration and air conditioning are involved with heat, and its removal from objects or spaces. Essentially, you will be an energy worker, since heat is energy in transition, as a result of temperature difference. Air conditioning deals primarily with indoor environments for human beings and humidity-controlled environments for specialized processes. Refrigeration, on the other hand, deals with chillers and equipment used in commercial and industrial applications, dominated by the food handling industry. Both are technical branches of mechanical engineering.

And talk about variety - these careers offer plenty! You may work alone, or be part of a team. You may work indoors or out; travel, or spend your time in a shop or office; be part of a corporation or a small business, or be self-employed. There is also variety in the level of skills or training required for various jobs. For example, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics need a year or less to learn entry-level skills for their jobs. If you want greater responsibility and higher earnings, you can pursue additional levels of training, advancing to engineering or management levels. There are many opportunities to learn the required skills, including apprenticeship, a combination of learning and on-the-job experience, for which you will be paid.

The AC/Ref industry involves life-long learning, since technology is constantly evolving. Careerists who continue to increase their knowledge and skills will advance to supervisory, administrative, or engineering positions, managing indoor environments for private industry, educational or government building complexes. Others may decide to launch a business of their own, whether as contractors or in the service industry.

This new Careers Ebook contains a wealth of unbiased information about a career as an air conditioning technician, based on the latest national surveys. Careers Ebooks cover attractive and unattractive sides, opportunities, education necessary, personal qualifications required, earnings, descriptions of different job specialties, first person accounts by those in the field, and how to get started; including practical advice on what to do now. There are live links to schools and colleges, associations, periodicals and other sources of reliable information. ... Read more
