About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”. Also in this Book An almanac is an annual publication that lists a set of events in the following year, including such information as weather forecasts, farmers' planting dates, tide tables, and other data in tabular form. Celestial figures and a wide range of statistics are to be found in almanacs, including the rising and setting times of the Sun and Moon, dates of eclipses, hours of high and low tides, and dates of religious festivals. In the United States Benjamin Franklin began publishing Poor Richard's Almanack from 1733-1758, and Benjamin Banneker, a free African-American, published a number of almanacs from 1792 to 1797.

Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality.

Not illustrated. 1872 Excerpt: ...mathematical and nonmathematical, may obtain approximate solutions to some of the probability questions which appear in it from time to time, and so test the correctness of the more scientific solutions supplied by the mathematical contributors. As an example of the class of problems to which I refer, I would here propose for solution the following question:--"A point is taken at random on a window consisting of nine equal square panes, and through this point a line is drawn in a random direction. What are the respective chances of the line so drawn cutting one, two, three, four, or five panes?" Experimentally this may be solved as follows. Take a circular piece of white card-board; draw a straight line across the centre on one side, and through the centre on the opposite side insert a pin. Move the cardboard round this pin as a pivot till the stiffness is so far gone that when the pin is held by the point head downwards, a slight jerk of the finger will make the card-board revolve easily and rapidly. This may be a rude contrivance, but it will answer the purpose. Now draw a figure on paper representing the window; twirl the card-board, and while it is spinning mark with a pencil a point anywhere on the figure. If the rotatory motion of the card-board still continues, arrest it suddenly, so as to economize time; then place the card-board on the paper so that the pin's head shall fall on the pencil mark, or near it, extreme accuracy upon this point not being at all necessary. Observe now how many panes the line drawn across the centre of the card-board would cut through if produced; and register accordingly. Mark another point with the pencil, and proceed as before; and so on as long as you please; taking care, however, to distribute the points as ...
