Publisher Marketing: The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Rich in titles on English life and social history, this collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side of conflict. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

[2],90, [6]p., plate; 12 Contributor Bio:  Roach, John Nicole Brune's new and different take on characters really got the attention of fans that refer to her as "the next Olivia." It's not surprising since every major pin-up artist has taken her under their respected wings critiquing her work over the years. These include Greg Hildebrandt, Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Dave Nestler, Lorenzo Sperlonga and Olivia De Berardinis. As the world turns digital, because of the intricate detail of her oil and pencil work she is becoming the artist's artist. Her work is able to stand next to artists with 10+ years more experience. Nicole is always happy to share advice and techniques with aspiring artists. Combined with her beauty on and off camera, as well as her friendliness and approachability, her fan base continues to grow exponentially! Her popularity has grown by leaps and bounds. She started getting attention with what has been called "the most perfect mermaid ever," and she received more attention with her 5 part oil painted "Fetish in Wonderland" series. Her work with Comic and Pop Culture characters is making Nicole a growing Comic Con fan favorite. In the first part of 2012, she was commissioned to make an "alternative girl" version of Princess Leia and came up with Daddy's Little Princess. Since then she has done more alternative versions of existing characters like DC's Black Canary and Zatanna as well as female pin-up versions of Chewbacca and Han Solo. Nicole's works have been seen in multiple magazines, Married to Rock on E!, PlayboyTV, G4TV, and more. Her work has been licensed for use on drum sticks, guitar picks, guitars, boats, shirts, vintage metal signs, stickers, posters and sold-out Limited Editions. She has designed tattoos, and cosplayers are making outfits based on her unique takes on existing characters. Most recently she has been an invited guest to multiple Comic-Cons and Panels as well as cover artist for various publishers.
