Tom also meets a sweetie girl-friend when his dirigible temporarily goes out of control and crashes into the roof of her school! The characters are a real treat! Fun, odd, colorful, and wonderfully drawn. The Tom Swift-books are full of thrilling adventures and most engaging characters. Huge numbers of these books were sold, partly because they are gripping and well done."--Thanks, Tony Kan!

Very interesting are his descriptions of the British submarine activities and the great naval battle off the coast of Jutland. DJV newtified this book and appended it with a batch of Wikipedia articles on Kipling, the British Navy and the great German-British naval battle, to accompany Kipling's writing with a historic perspective (e.g. reading his stuff, you'd think the Jutland battle was a great British victory, which it wasn't at all--though it was a Pyrrhic victory for the Imperial German navy at best).--Recommended reading if you liked Erskine Childers' excellent "Riddle of the Sands" (world literature!), which has been released a Newton ebook a few days ago (see below). New in http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/ Lewis, Matthew Gregory (1775-1818) - The Bravo of Venice (1804) "Well, you know I'f recently had a fling with stories that take place in Venice (Henty's Lion of St. Mark, J.F. Cooper's Bravo of Venice--which is actually the best of the batch) or have to do with Venice and other Mediterranean seapowers (e.g. the Knights of St. John on Malta, the Corsairs of Northern Africa, etc.). This is a more romantic treatment of the "Bravo" material; actually, it is based on a contemporary German novel which Lewis ripped off big time (or rather, translated to English)."--DJV, Librarian.

Amazing, sometimes lengthy read on life and achievements--and most of all the amazing hacks!--of the world first true electric hacker (who actually already talks about "bugs" in the system...).

Morse (1838-1925). Illustrated Newton edition by DJ Vollkasko from the Project Gutenberg eText. Highly recommended reading with some very nice historic background (e.g. how much traveling by horse cart or wagon resembles motorized tourism). Fantastic book, entertaining read, also of interest to any US Civil War reenactment geek.

Originally published 1831, this is the Newtyfied release of the illustrated 1872 edition. Murder and intrigue for the well-being of the Republic... Daggers and defamation for democracy! (Of course no relation to current politics, this is another book playing in the Most Serene Republic of Venice, and Cooper was only thinking of US politics and the state of affairs in his country in his day.

It has been written, primarily, for readers who know little or nothing of China, in the hope that it may succeed in alluring them to a wider and more methodical survey." -- Newtyfied by Matt Kow., written by one of the most eminent experts of his day, the Professor of Chinese in the University of Cambridge, and sometime H.B.M. Consul at Ningpo. Giles' translations (together with those of a handful others at the time) have helped open a better path of understanding of Chinese culture, history and philosophy for a wider audience in the Western World.

New in http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/_Fantastic%20Literature/_Horror/ Machen, Arthur - The Hill of Dreams. Newtyfied by DJV.--More late Victorian Decadence, this was written in the 1890s, but not published for a decade as the scandal around Oscar Wilde made it advisable for phantastic writers to lie low, esp. if they have a dubious erotic theme in their plot... Pagan ruins and modern people on strange paths--another book that inspired Lovecraft and many other authors after him. January 6th, 2006 The Twelfth Day of Christmas * So what if I've been lazy giving you your gifts, Newtonia--you have been much lazier than I, and you are two thousand times as many. But Christmas ain't the time to bear grudges, and I can comfort myself with the fact that this Season's Christmas Challenge has been proudly taken up by more than one meagre promille (as it was with the Hallowe'en Challenge). No, as far as I can see a stunning TWO promille have joined the effort to shower you, Oh Newtonia, with the gifts you deserve (ye ole couch potato)--and which they suredly deserve, too! * Now, for the last day of Christmas, I give six new books, all of which I found to be very interesting. Three are from writers who strongly influenced H.P. Lovecraft (who's well represented in this Library, so this is a good occasion to see where some of his ideas originate... and who even mentions these authors in some of his own stories!), and three are about long-distance travels done in canoes (you may be aware that I love few things better than spending my time on the water with one of my vintage folding boat kayaks) on the North American continent: ** Dunsany - The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories (1908) *** http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/_Fantastic%20Literature/Dunsany,%20Edward%20John%20Moreton%20Drax%20Plunkett%20Lord%20of%20(1878-1957)/ *** Dunsany's third book--a collection of Celtic-inspired short stories that influenced Lovecraft's early writing (the "Dreamland"-cycle). ** Arthur Machen - The Great God Pan (1894) *** http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/_Fantastic%20Literature/_Horror/ *** A scientist tries an experiment to let a young girl see beyond our reality--with horrifying results... *** Met with much antagonism from Machen's Victorian contemporaries because of its sensuality and insinuations. Gave Lovecraft some inspiration to his Dunwich Horror and other stories. ** Fort, Charles Hoyt - Book of the Damned (1919) *** http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Natural%20Sciences%20&%20Technology/ *** This book by the very man who put the "Fort" into "Fortean" is 100% scientific and much scarier than anything Lovecraft ever wrote... because it is all TRUE! Not neccesarily Fort's deductions, but the observations are all for real, and that science completely ignored most of these events because of her helplessness to explain them is really scary. Is there a conspiracy? ;=} ** Bishop, Nathaniel - Paper Canoe (1878) *** http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Geography%20and%20Ethnography/ *** Bishop buys a canoe made from paper which he can paddle or row, and travels 2000 miles down the US East coast down and into the Gulf of Mexico, all shortly after the Civil War. What fascinated me were his observations about the living conditions of the people he met, especially in the South. Illustrated. ** Neihardt, John G. - The River and I *** http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Geography%20and%20Ethnography/ *** What we got here? Three men set out to build a sleek canoe, motorize it (at least try to...) and start on down the Missouri. Neihardt went on to become a wellknown writer, and it all started with this--originally serialized--travelogue down the central Northamerican waterway. Very funny, lots of fotos, many historic places visited. Classic Americana. ** Seton, Ernest Thompson - The Arctic Prairies: A Canoe-Journey (ca. 1908) *** http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Geography%20and%20Ethnography/ *** This is one of the most fascinating paddling books I've ever read. Seton sees so many things in the nature and the people around him, it's really hard to believe. Quite an interesting guy, Seton was--bestselling writer, founder of the US boyscouts, then separating from the boyscouts because of their militarist tendencies and his more indivudualistic and pacifistic views. Started his own all ages, all gender, all people movement, the Woodcraft Indians. In this brilliant book you see him roughing it out in the Arctic North, following the tracks of moose and caribou, way beyond the line of tree growth, noting every bird behind any shrub, every bug beneath every rock. Amazing, the kind of eye he had--and how he could still write it without boring the reader. Some good stuff there.

Decembre 31st, 2005 The Seventh Day of Christmas * London, Jack (1876-1916) - The People of the Abyss (1903) http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Arts%20&%20Humanities/ ** London's famous book on his undercover-investigation of circumstances and standards of living of the poorest of the poor in London. People run now to the movies' to see "Oliver Twist" and say, well, huh, that Dickens sure laid it on thick. Sorry, bro, he didn't, as London's book proves. Really fascinating read, and one that point to many inequalities we still can find in place today. One of the books that really matter. Decembre 30th, 2005 Sixth Day of Christmas * Anonymous - The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/ ** In the midst of blizzard of IT issues, the man they call the Kasko gives you the classic Hawaiian epic. Very interesting intro into ancient island culture, incl. celebrations, supernatural appearances, sailing and surf riding. Decembre 29th, 2005 Fifth Day of Christmas * Kasko gave you a book, but already forgot which, the drunk $%&#+! Decembre 28th, 2005 The Fourth day of Christmas * Yesterdays gift "Baum, L.

One of the funniest, most relevant pieces I've read this year (and yes, there *are* US politicians pulling weight for extension of copyright protection to a duration of eternity minus one day, as to not be busy prosecuting folks when judgement comes, how considerate!).

Excerpts from South African writer's excellent book about America's youth and their struggle to survive during the economic hardships of the Great Depression. Mr. Uys' introduction leads into four brief narratives by some of the individuals who braved life on the rails nearly seventy years ago. Damn fine reading, but it might make you shed a tear or two. It's powerful stuff.

Houdini, Harry (1874-1926) - Miracle Mongers and their Methods (1920) http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Arts%20&%20Humanities/ It's THAT Harry Houdini, whom Arthur Conan Doyle suspected to be actually supernaturally endowed (they had been friends, but the friendship faltered, when Houdini just wouldn't admit to applying supernatural means in his performances... and in turn outed spiritist-miracle workers Doyle believed in as the real thing...), and his topic are his colleagues in show biz who work all those tricks that stunned audience and science equally for centuries, from firewalkers to fire-eaters to swordswallowers to superhumanly strong people to... Carnies, rip-off artists and snakeoil dealers, excellent artists and brilliant illusionists. All the heroes of forgotten ages, their stage presentation and -- in many cases -- explanations of how the effect was achieved. I have added the Wikipedia article on Houdini. Together quite the romantic and wonderful book that astonishes again and again (its either "and then he did WHAT?" or "and they actually believed that?"). Great book by the undisputed grandmaster in the art himself. McLeod, Kembrew - Freedom of ExpressionTM (2005) http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Copyright%20and%20Patents/ CC-licensed, 2005 published. Possibly the most impressive book I've read about things and people that shape my (and your!) world since I've read "The Great Hacker Crackdown - Law and Order on the Electronic Frontier" by Bruce Sterling ten years ago. Where Sterling dealt with things like digital trespassing/intrusion/unlawful appropriation of services etc. (more on the hardware and bandwidth side), McLeod (who actually owns the rights to the brand "Freedom of Expression") covers the fallout that has been coming down hard all around us in the decade and more since then: Copyright and patent regulation that chokes creativity, anti-sampling and digital rights management, industry infringing on consumer's rights and killing off the public domain, from suing grannies because the industry can't get facts straight to suing farmers because the industry can't control their own genetically b0rked crop seeds, to DRM-strangle all consumers because the industry can't control their goods IN THEIR OWN HOUSE! Reducing the quality of good all around us, reducing the quality of life, all for ensuring the expansion of the commercially exploitable domain. Encroyable! --Props to WWNA-prez Ronnie Simon for extracting the txt out of McLeod's pdf! Very brilliant read, very funny, very enlightening. Read, learn, make fact-based consumer decisions, make well-founded political decisions (I mean, com'on, those guys tried to charge THE GIRL SCOUTS for campfire-songs...). It is your world, after all, and you shouldn't have to buy it back from them. Platt, Charles (*1945) - The Profits of Fear (2005) http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Politics%20/ Brandnew and brilliant 2005 essay by Charles Platt about the man who invented the Neutron bomb out of ethical considerations and disgust with contemporary military tactics, and incompetence, ignorance and pork in US military and political circles. Quite some creative thinking in there--and some creative reality-bending. Having lived on one of the hottest prospective battlegrounds of the Cold War (and being aware of Nato's planning for Day X), I found this one of the most incredible reads of this year and quite an eyeopener--especially if transferring the lessons shown on the current politico-militaristic scenario... Incompetence and ignorance galore! Appended with Wikipedia articles on Sam Cohen, the Neutron bomb and nuclear weapons in general. Sinclair, Upton (1878-1968) - The Profits of Religion (orig. publ. 1917, 5th ed. 1926) http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Nonfiction/_Religion/ More profitable reading (forgive the poor pun): Sinclair takes the scammers and redemption-dealers of his time head-on and switches the light off their halos. From established churches that rip off their lambs in many economic ways, to groups that abuse and mistreat their members to cheaters and liars, from the Christian fringe via the esoteric to spiritist cults (which were veeery popular until the late 1930s and spawned several orgs still operating their franchises to-day). I stumbled across this book when looking up Mazdaznan at Wikipedia (a supposedly ancient Zoroastric cult founded by a German emigrant's son in the US around 1900 and marketed to the world; curious because it had a strong following in early Bauhaus, which influenced modern design and architecture like no other school in the world... and they held Mazdaznan meetings and performances, etc. ...), and they are just one example of many professionals who proclaim to "do holy", when all they do is milk their followers and hard-sell faith. Originally published 1917 under the impression of World War I (which adds some colour). Appened with the Wikipedia-article on Upton Sinclair. "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." -- 'nuff said.
