Very similar to The Bible in English. The main differences are:
*David uses a meatball instead of a rock to slay Goliath
*Baby Moses is found floating in a fjord
*Joseph and Mary ride into Bethlehem on a reindeer
*Jesus is tall, blond, and laconic
*The Last Supper takes place in a ski chalet
Mr. Harry Snyder of Amarillo, Texas founded the 'Human Food' movement in 1912. Snyder's charisma and engaging writing style actually created a significant but very short-lived boom for the 'Human Food' movement.
In short, Snyder advocated using humans as food. He believed human flesh was the perfect fuel for the human body. He further believed...that proper...preparation of....

A chilling biography of ruthless Mafia enforcer Benjamin 'Benny the Badger' Scalabretti.
Benny the Badger and his partner Ricardo 'Dickie the Deer Mouse' Negrazinni left a bloody trail of corpses and weeping widows through the years 1922-29 in Los Angeles, California.
Scalabretti, in particular, seemed to take great pleasure in making his 'hits' unique and memorable. To wit:
*In April of 1923 he terminated the life of Giovanni 'Gerry the Gerbil' Raspetti by covering him with suet and bird seed and securing him to the ground in Griffith Park where Raspetti was pecked to death by finches.
Another of the "Dancin' Dave Darrin" adventure series. In these stories Dave Darrin is the Army's official 'Crooner and Tap Dancer'. He gets stationed only in the most remote and dangerous of war zones, where his duty is to sing, dance, and entertain the troops to keep up their morale.
(In a way, Dave Darrin was the Bob Hope of the World War I era.)
In this particular volume Dancin' Dave is in Vera Cruz, Mexico during the Spanish American war. Isolated from his company and surrounded by fierce Spanish soldiers, Dave must use all of his tap dancing skills to avoid whizzing rifle bullets and return safely to his unit. Not easy to do in the muck and mire of tropical Vera Cruz.
Very disappointing. I expected another rousing adventure yarn with Blake, Skipper, and \'Ham-Bone\', the Radio Boys.
What I got was a verbose, dour, Eugene O\'Neill-like psychological drama.
The Radio Boys live in a large boarding house near the shore in New Jersey. Each evening at supper all the borders discuss their personal woes and whine endlessly! One of the borders, from Mexico, tries to liven up the glum mood of the evening meal by playing the guitar and singing rousing tunes. Blake, Skipper and \'Ham-Bone\' sneak into his room and kill him by dropping one of their radios into his bath water.
These days we're all frightfully worried about 'global warming'. But a simple reading of this book may ease those worries. Climate change is cyclical, as you will find, after reading about the varied agricultural products produced up in the far north...you betcha.
Back in 1916, Minnesota was much, much warmer than it is today. In 1916 Minnesota had an almost sub-tropical climate and was often known as the 'Tangerine Capitol of the World'. There was even a Minnesota mango and banana industry in its infancy.
Of course the sub-tropical climate and crops all radically changed following the Tungurahua volcano eruption of 1919.
One of the VERY best tutorials for the Little Leaguer ever written.
Baseball's Jesus Alou (brother of fellow big leaguers Felipe and Matty Alou), sticks to the basics for your youngsters:
*Throwing to the cut-off man
*Hitting to the opposite field
*Bunting
*Fielding grounders
*Adjusting the cup
So if you've got an up-and-coming ball player in the family, be sure they read this book. And if your kid says, 'Why should I throw to the cut-off man?', tell them, it's because 'Jesus Says So'!
In the mid-1800s, many coal miners suffered from a disease known as 'Black Phthisis' or Coal Miner's Lung. For many years no one knew what caused this debilitating disease that cut short the life of so many men.
Then, along came Archibald Makellar, an amateur scientist and inventor. Mr. Makellar discovered, through a series of elegant experiments, that Black Phthisis (Coal Miner's Lung) was caused by coal miners working in coal mines and breathing coal dust into their lungs!
Due to the dedicated work of Archibald Makellar, 125 short years later coal miners were given masks to wear to prevent Black Phthisis.
FYI: The word 'Phthisis' comes from the sound coal miners made when coughing up coal dust.

The last 48 pages are simply a list of great men who have said;
