George sets out to help a friend deal with some trouble at home and finds himself with troubles of his own on the far side of the world in a home-made boat. Equipped with a shaky knowledge of marine engineering obtained at the public library, and using materials more suited to a tree house than a boat, George is underway and on the run. He's not running from just the pirates, bureaucratics and other troubles that are normally encountered by the typical young traveler: he's fleeing a walking calamity in the form of a beautiful movie star.

By learning about history from a particular and unique biographical perspective, each student will learn about the following social studies curricular themes: - culture- individual development and identity- power, authority, and governance- global connections- people, places, and environments- individuals, groups, and institutions- production, distribution, and consumption- civic ideals and practices

In Guano Island, George Baron proves that financial independence (gained in the first book, The Treehouse Voyage) comes with the burden of temptation. George wanders away from his education and responsibilites in his boat, Treehouse. While he intends to meet his girlfriend for a summer cruise in the Med, he is blown off course by a new set of aquaintances and is soon dodging bullets and cannonballs in a bloody 18th Century civil war on a forgotten Caribbean island.

BRITISH DOGS - THEIR POINTS, SELECTION, AND SHOW PREPARATION WITH ILLUSTRATIONS OF TYPICAL DOGS, THIRD EDITION BY W. D. DRURY KENNEL EDITOR OF THE BAZAAR - PREFACE SINCE the last Edition of British Dogs was issued, many breeds but then little known have become popular while others quite unknown have come to stay. This, combined with a more extended knowledge of the management of existing varieties, has rendered a new Edition absolutely necessary. As is fairly well known, the old work was in two volumes a form that was somewhat cumbersome and necessarily expensive. The present work has been com- pressed into one volume, and this without sacrificing any of those important details that have characterised the work since its inception. The aim has been to produce a modern work upon modern dogs and in doing so the claims of the fancier have been studied equally with those of that wider section known as the dog-loving public. Particular attention has been given to the practical as apart from the historical side of the subject. Where, therefore, a breed stands in need of somewhat different treatment from that of the generality of the varieties, this has been described. Sporting field-dogs, too, have not been forgotten. With these sufficient details in regard to the requirements of each breed have been given to enable the breeder, if he be a novice, to proceed in the right direction with the education of his charges. Another departure in plan from that pursued in the two earlier Editions is that of entrusting the revision of certain breeds to a number of specialists. As will be seen by the enumeration on the title-page, they are names well-known in the Kennel World. Outside that enumeration there are many other ladies and gentlemen to whom the Editor is indebted for much kindly help and many courtesies while he is also no less mindful of the ready response given by the secretaries of the specialist Clubs for descriptions of the breeds. Some may cavil perhaps at the title of the work, British Dogs, now that so many foreign breeds are included. They, however, are such varieties as are commonly bred in this country and are found at our shows, and may therefore be deemed naturalised. CONTENTS CHAP. PAGE I. EARLY DOGS . . . . . . . . r II.
