They are great examples of how powerful and diverse nature is. Informally, weird means very strange, and these plants are certainly that. They demonstrate what an excellent problem-solver nature is, equipping plants to survive and thrive in the strangest of ways.Weird Animals: Six of the Strangest Plants on Earth looks at the most important and interesting information about six truly odd plants. Facts are clearly presented in a bullet list format, along with high-quality photos.

Born into a dirt poor southern family, a young boy quickly discovers charm, mystery and adventure lying all around him. From the forests and cliffs at the bend of the river, to the sandbar that appears only in summer. Slowly becoming aware that while his family was poor, the poverty was shared by most of those around him. Learning quickly about the haves and the have-nots, he sustains himself with the love of family and friends. Life hands him challenges, often of his own making, and rewards that nothing could ever take away.Told through the eye of the beholder, go along with him and learn what it was like to be a boy, to be Southern, and coming of age before TV, when all phones were attached to the wall, and when days were longer, and summers lasted forever.

About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

His new honor must be too much for him.Roused by this remark, the first lieu tenant sat up and said.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Clinical Studies in Vice and in InsanityThe account of Alcoholism here published I submit with all deference to experts. Dr Clouston has been good enough to read it in manuscript, and to make many valuable suggestions - another added to a long list of kindnesses.The student will perhaps find the account of cases more interesting. In the preface to the Alcoholic cases, he will find a statement of the point of View from which the accounts were written, and again, as a preamble to the Insane cases, he will find a similar statement. Special attention may perhaps be drawn to the case of Mrs Twelfth, as exemplifying the contrast between conscious or voluntary and delirious mania.The index has been prepared by Dr Smith, to whom, and to other friends, I am indebted for help in the pro duction of this volume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
