Cinnabar the One O'Clock Fox
by Marguerite Henry"Tally-ho!" It was George Washington himself who sighted the flying form of the One O'Clock Fox. And "Gone away!" the Huntsman's horn sounded, as with a jaunty flick of his brush Cinnabar dared the hounds to catch him. Boys and girls who have loved Misty, King of the Wind, and Brighty will find in the gay and dauntless Cinnabar another unforgettable character brought glowingly to life by the magical touch of Marguerite Henry and Wesley Dennis. For this extraordinary fox, so legend says, loved the excitement of the chase so much that on foxhunting days he would show himself promptly at the hour of one to lead the hunt a fast and thrilling race through the woods and fields of Mount Vernon. To George Washington and the other gentlemen of Virginia he was known affectionately as "the One O'Clock Fox." But the hunters saw only one side of Cinnabar. It has remained for Marguerite Henry and Wesley Dennis to tell in merry and fascinating detail the story of Cinnabar's home life as well-of his wife Vicky, who played the flute; of the four mischievous cubs, Rascal, Pascal, Merry, and Mischief; of their cozy den with the hourglass on the mantel; of Cinnabar's prowess as a hunter. And especially this book tells of one grand hunt in which Cinnabar risked his life and lost a toe-but triumphed anyway!

Circuits in the Brain: A Model of Shape Processing in the Primary Visual Cortex
by Charles LegéndyDr. Charles Legéndy's Circuits in the Brain: A Model of Shape Processing in the Primary Visual Cortex is published at a time marked by unprecedented advances in experimental brain research which are, however, not matched by similar advances in theoretical insight. For this reason, the timing is ideal for the appearance of Dr. Legéndy's book, which undertakes to derive certain global features of the brain directly from the neurons. Circuits in the Brain, with its "relational firing" model of shape processing, includes a step-by-step development of a set of multi-neuronal networks for transmitting visual relations, using a strategy believed to be equally applicable to many aspects of brain function other than vision. The book contains a number of testable predictions at the neuronal level, some believed to be accessible to the techniques which have recently become available. With its novel approach and concrete references to anatomy and physiology, the monograph promises to open up entirely new avenues of brain research, and will be particularly useful to graduate students, academics, and researchers studying neuroscience and neurobiology. In addition, since Dr. Legéndy's book succeeds in achieving a clean logical presentation without mathematics, and uses a bare minimum of technical terminology, it may also be enjoyed by non-scientists intrigued by the intellectual challenge of the elegant devices applied inside our brain. The book is uniquely self-contained; with more than 120 annotated illustrations it goes into full detail in describing all functional and theoretical concepts on which it builds.

Circus Sequins
by Elisabeth Hamilton FriermoodRoxy Clark--spunky, temperamental, and red-headed--had "circus in her bones and horses in her blood." So when the chance came to join the Hallock Circus, if only as wardrobe assistant, Roxy leaped at it. Before the summer was over, surely her skill as a rider would be recognized. Then, as a headliner, in a striking sequined costume like her aerialist cousin Mimi's, she might realize her dream--and even include Karl Kassel, a star performer, in it. Yet as the circus cars rolled through the midwestern and southern towns, Roxy began to wonder if she'd ever emerge from backstage. And that bull- headed farmer, Doug Gardner, appeared to confuse her with talks of marriage. Then suddenly a tragic rail accident catapulted Roxy to center ring--and a difficult choice faced her. In this colorful story set in 1914, Elisabeth Friermood brings life to the kaleidoscopic circus world--its performers, roustabouts, animals, sights, sounds, and smells--through the experience of a teenager as spirited as the horses she rides.

Citation (Thoroughbred Legends #3)
by Pohla SmithThere were few stars in the 1940s to rival Citation and jockey Eddie Arcaro on the nation's sports pages. Citation, who was the 1948 Horse of the Year and the last Triple Crown winner for a twenty-five-year period, was the brightest star in the galaxy belonging to Calumet Farm. The famed breeding and racing operation dominated American racing during the 1940s like no other stable before or since. Citation exemplified that dominance. The dark bay colt could run and win at any distance, and by the end of his 3-year-old season had recorded 15 consecutive victories. Although a leg problem sidelined him as a 4-year-old, Citation returned the next season and continued to race at age 6. He became Thoroughbred racing's first millionaire and set the modern-day record of 16 straight victories. His trainer, H.A. (Jimmy) Jones, called him the best horse of the century. Citation was elected to the Racing Hall of Fame in 1959, and died at Calumet at age 25 in 1970. He was ranked No. 3 in The Blood-Horse magazine's list of the Top 100 Racehorses of 20th Century.
Citizen Bird: Scenes from Bird-Life in Plain English for Beginners, A Critical Edition
by Elliott Coues Mabel Osgood Wright Elliot CouesIn the late nineteenth century, American bird lovers faced a crisis. Bird species were becoming endangered or even extinct at an alarming rate, and old methods of hunting and collecting specimens accelerated the process. A new conservationist approach to birding was necessary, and it needed to be taught to the next generation of Americans. Thus 1897’s Citizen Bird, the first birding guide for children, was born. A tremendously influential text in the Progressive-era United States, it inspired in a generation of schoolchildren a love of wild birds and the desire to protect them. Born of a collaboration between naturalist Mabel Osgood Wright, ornithologist Elliott Coues, and bird artist Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the book is vital to the history of birding and the broader study of nineteenth-century American culture and literature. This new edition of Citizen Bird preserves the original book’s 111 drawings and adds explanatory footnotes, supplemental historical material, and a new introduction. More than a century and a quarter after its original publication, Elizabeth Cherry and Meghan Freeman contextualize the book in the tradition and history of birding and discuss the roles of its authors and illustrator in birding history. A landmark text in the history of American conservationism, Citizen Bird is a timeless classic that will bring joy to birdwatchers of all ages.
