Over one inch thick. "The first major sawmill in British Columbia was the Port Alberni Anderson mill of 1860/1864, which was closed because it ran out of logs. Manager Gilbert Sproat advised the owners that to get logs to the mill they would need to build a railway. The owners refused so the mill was closed. It was to be almost fifty years until the first logging railway was built in 1912. The last train of logs was delivered to MacMillan Bloedel's Franklin River Camp A in 1957. In the intervening period more than thirty locomotives operated on hundreds of miles of railway grade in the area. Thousands of men were involved in a large number of logging camps, big and small. This 45 year period of railway logging is the subject of our story." - from back board. Abundantly illustrated in black and white. Glossy illustrated boards.

Barenreiter, 1970 - In-4 - Reliure éditeur sous jaquette - Fac-similé de l'édition de 1655 sans les textes de Zeillerum - Cartes & Planches dépliantes - Textes de l'éditeur in fine en allemand et français - Un accroc sur la jaquette sinon très propre, très bel exemplaire - envoi rapide et soigné De 1655 à 1661, Gaspard Merian édite en allemand et en caractères gothiques, les 13 parties de la Topographia Galliae. Le “Merian” comme on le nomme parfois en France est un célèbre recueil in-4° de gravures illustrant la France du XVIIe siècle. Le titre de l’ouvrage dans son édition originale allemande “Topographia Galliae, oder Beschreibung und Contrafaitung der vornehmsten, unnd bekantisten Oerter, in dem mächtigen und grossen Kônigreich Franckreich.” peut se traduire par Topographie de la France ou description et (visage?) des lieux les plus connus du grand et puissant royaume de France.”. L’auteur du texte n’en est pas moins le géographe allemand d’Ulm, Martin Zeller, qui parcourut la France pendant un an et demi. L’illustration profuse de cette topographie constitue tout l’intérêt de la publication. Gaspard Merian s’est également inspiré de gravures déjà publiées de Nicolas Tassin, Israël Sylvestre, Jan Peeters ou Jean Marot

135 pages including index. In this tribute to a city he loves, author provides both a history and a character study, describing Glasgow at different moments in time: the medieval city; the eighteenth-century expansion; the mid-Victorian heyday; the Edwardian sunset; the Depression of the 1930s; post-war decline; the renaissance of the 1980s. Examines the economic function of the city at each of these periods, drawing attention to characteristic architecture and to representative individuals, posing questions about the relation of Glasgow to the rest of Scotland, and exploring the paradox that Europe's City of Culture should have owed its wealth to its trade with the New World, and should be arguably the easternmost American city. Illustrated with black and white colour plates. Gift inscription upon half-title page else unmarked. Minimal wear. Excellent copy. Book
