About this book
"History is profuse with abuses of some of the best thoughts and discoveries that have come to the human race," according to F. T. Ives in "Cranks." Reader-chosen topics in Vol. 109 include science, exploration, innovation, and investigative reporting: Forgetfulness; Punishment and Reward; Overlearning; A Shoal of Porpoises; Dreams as Omens; Experimental Farms; Onset of a Year Without a Summer; a New Hybrid Rose; and Wild Apples. Rounding out the volume are an essay on the Tarzan Tales; a eulogy to Beethoven; and Thoreau's playful description of a kitten. Summary by Sue Anderson
