This book shows how animals defend themselves from predators. It has a lot of information on where the animal lives and what it does to protect itself. There is animals like the armadillo that curls into a ball and has protective armor that covers it so it safe from a predator like the coyote. A lot of information about other animals is in this book. I learned a lot from this book and you will to.

My dad spent hundreds of hours slaving on this book, (which by the way is VERY interesting!) so I'm sure he did an excellent job (~even though I can't even pronounce 99% of the words and not to mention the title!!) Good job, Dad!!

Having taught B&F in my early 17th cent. drama class, I can recommend Wit without Money and, to some extent, The Wild-Goose Chase. I would not bother with Wife for a Month, one of the weakest and poorly written of their collaborations. Nevertheless, this is a handy book.

I read this book for the first time back in 1965-1966. I have shared this book with several of my catholic friends who found the book to be exqusided. I have the May 1953 editition. Naturally I had to order the revised edition. Since reading the new edition I find it very, very informative. and I highly recommend it be read by all old and new Catholics. It will answer many if not most of the questions you have about the Catholic Faith. God Bless You!

This book is a wonderful introduction to the more advanced ideas of control theory. But it is written with emphasis on classical control and transfer functions (which makes for a good introduction). The problem is that this book is no longer in print. However, the copyright has reverted back to the authors. And they have kindly decided to make the book available for free! Simply do a google search for "Feedback Control Theory", and you will find it.

It took my father about 20 years or so to write this book. When I was four years old I saw him working on it. I did't know what he was doing at the time but I now know what he was woring on. Francis Bacon this book is for you!

I couldn't put the book down. I read it from cover to cover in two days and then several more times after that. Catalano's style kept me intrigued by the way he intertwined the personal aspects of Liebers life with complex, yet understandable insight into his philosophy. I hope for many more works by this fabulous writer.

John Parker was a Massachusetts State Senator who apparently spent much of his legislative career collecting political humor. Being a Republican Senator, he obviously was in close proximity to humorous material.
The book informs us that political humor stretches back thousands of years. Emperor Augustus, when apprised of a foreigner who looked just like him, ordered the visitor brought to him. Augustus asked whether the stranger's mother had even been to Rome. "No", replied the guest, "but my father was."
Great political lessons can be learned from ancient political stories. During an election in Athens two thousands years ago, a political candidate made a lengthy presentation. His opponent, the ultimate victor, responded simply with "all that my opponent has said, I will do."
Learn to be careful of what you say. A state legislator who told voters of the accidents the Highway Patron has prevented was met with a voter who then queried "alright, name one."
Public officials should not expect respect even after they leave office. A preacher once proclaimed at a funeral "the corpse has represented this district in Congress for 20 years."
This is a good compliation of political humor. What was politically humorous years ago remains funny today. Among the observations that upholds over time is a person who throws the bull in Spain is called a matador, and in America that person is called a Senator. The book holds up over time, even if it was compiled by someone who earned his living throwing the bull American style.

John McCarthy takes a voyage to a beautiful and magical place and brings back photos. Believe it or not, Ireland is actually on this earth and the author of this book has compiled some of the most mystical and enchanting parts into this wonderful book. After visiting his studio in Skaneateles, NY, I was riveted by the way he finds mystery and intrigue in the ordinary things and people we see around us. This book will always inspire me to look at things in a different light...kudos John.

English lyrical poetry is among the world's finest poetry. Many years ago Francis Turner Palgrave, a professor of poetry at Oxford, compiled a highly respected anthology of English lyrical poetry.

I clearly recall my excitement in my first reading of Palgrave's collection. I have since become familiar with several other good anthologies, but Palgrave's remains my favorite.

Palgrave's remarkable anthology of English lyrical poetry is found with various titles: "The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language", or "Palgrave's Golden Treasury from Shakespeare to the Present", or "Palgrave's Golden Treasury", or simply "The Golden Treasury". Sometimes one title is found on the book cover and another on the title page.

Palgrave's "The Golden Treasury" has remained continuously in print since 1861, with Oxford University Press editions in 1907, 1909, 1929, 1940, 1964 (Section V added), and 1994 (Section V1 added). New printings occur every few years.

Today this remarkable anthology is now nearly 700 pages. The font size is large and easy to read.

Palgrave's somewhat sparse footnotes are only available for Sections I-IV. Many readers may need a good dictionary for occasional archaic words and unfamiliar references to Greek and Roman mythology. I have found it quite helpful and entertaining to have a copy of Bulfinch's The Age of Fable nearby. Whichever edition and printing that you acquire, I hope you enjoy Palgrave's selections as much as I did. Cheers.
