Wall Street and the Wilds contains the sage of the rise and fall and rise and fall of a Wall Street gold trader, options seller, stock manipulator, developer of the clearing house, pool operator, Steamship promoter, real estate developer of Elizabeth, New Jersey, telegraph line builders, railroad builder, hunter, photographer and naturalist from 1850 to 1915. Everything talked about is totally a propos of current techniques in Wall Street. Dimock was a minister's son born in 1840 who went to Andover and came to Wall Street at 15 and got his start scalping odd lots in insurance stocks. He developed a system of selling gold every 1/8 up and buying it every eight down. He became the Little Napoleon of Wall Street and dominated the gold exchange the way the big grain companies dominate the grain market today, using some of the same techniques. He made so much money that it was easy come, easy go, and he lost it all by guaranteeing the purchase of friends, defrauding by the Goulds during Black Friday, and finally in the crash of 1873"(Victor Niederhoffer).

Art the Gecko doesn’t know what to do, and experiences a bit of jealousy, when his master, young Brett, brings home a second pet. This 18-page picture book features a heart-warming story and includes scientific information about the gecko’s natural habitat. Educational and entertaining, "Pocket Pets" books feature a sand-filled pet that fits in a child's pocket and can be used to recreate the story. As “Pocket Pets” are handmade, no two pets are exactly alike and your Pet may not match the character illustrated in the story.
