Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 144 pages. Illustrated. A Dinosaur Named Sue When the prehistoric object of a bitter custody battle sold for 8. 36 million dollars, scientists finally began to piece together the skeleton and saga of the largest T. rex ever found. Cuba- -Evolution in the Revolution Cuba's revolution ages, perhaps mellows, but keeps its grip on this island nation. Quick as ever to point out their accomplishments under socialism, Cubans now recognize the growing power of the U. S. dollar in their country. John Glenn in Space { John Glenn: Man With a Mission} In 1962 John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. Thirty- six years later, at the age of 77, the senator returned to space to help us understand how the body ages and to remind us that the spirit never does. Deep Soul of the New River { New River; New River's Deep Soul} The oldest river on the eastern seaboard flows through the Appalachians with waters calm enough for church baptisms and wild enough for white- water rafters. Old Havana { The Rebirth of Old Havana} Renovation in the heart of Cuba's capital city illuminates centuries of architectural splendor. Tam Dao- -Sanctuary Under Siege { Vietnam's Tam Dao Reserve; Tam Dao- -Vietnam's Sanctuary Under Siege} A refuge for wildlife and for weekenders from Hanoi also draws international scientists, who are cataloging the rare and endangered creatures of Vietnam's new national park even as poachers scoop them up. Sahara Rock Art { Ancient Art of the Sahara} Intriguing scenes carved in rock shelters and on cliffs survive the elements but fall victim to collectors.

First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. green cloth damp-damaged at base, front and rear, undated odd volume, part of a set of 30 volumes issued in three sets of ten volumes each, targeted presumably at the emigrant Irish in the United States. The year of issue is not stated, but seems to be, on internal evidence, 1902 (that's the last reference to publications by W.B. Yeats. This volume consists largely of photogravure plates of Irish people and places, monuments and symbols that would appeal to the emigrant. Among the portraits is John Redmond, MP, who was one of the editors of the series. Interesting mainly as a collection of photos, which are generally clean, regardless of the damage mentioned to the boards, and the shakiness of the binding generally (easily repaired if wished). Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
