Scouting and Camp Fire Organiz…

This is basically a good thing, because controlling our ancestral emotional urges helps us to respond more appropriately to most of the daily situational demands of our modern society.

Although there are variations in the style with which balletic movements are carried out by diff…

The subject of this book is modern electronics, a field that has come to be known as microelectronics. Microelectronics referes to the integrated-circuit (IC) technology that at the time of this writing is capable of producing circuits that contain more than 1 million components in a small piece of silicon (silicon chip) whose area is in the order of 60 mm2. We shall study electronic devices th…
I shall never forget the walk I took one night in Vienne, after having accomplished the examination of an unknown Druidical relic, the Pierre labie, at La Rondelle, near Champigni. I had learned of the existence of this cromlech only on my arrival at Champigni in the afternoon, and I had started to visit the curiosity without calculating the time it would take me to reach it and to return.…
The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and arou…
