Book Description
Excerpt from Beside the Bamboo I am going to take you in imagination a very long journey to the far-off land of China, that we may see with our eyes the strange people that live there. For many a long century they would never permit the men Of other lands to look over their fences, or steal a glimpse into their back yards, but now their front doors are open, and Englishmen are welcomed with a smile. But we must be off. The great steamer is lying in the river trembling with excitement. Listen to the scream of the whistle calling us to come on board.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bud and Bamboo Bud was a Chinese boy. His father had named him Bud because it meant something that grows; a bud grows to be a flower. The boy's father hoped that his son would grow to be a wise man, and hold high Office in China, his beloved country, to the honor of the family name. One day, when Bud was nine years old, his father called him. Come, Bud, he said, you are old enough now to have your hair shaved off, all except one long braid at the back, which you may tie with a blue ribbon.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bamboos: Their Culture and Uses in the United States Ilong before the department inaugurated its systematic work on agricultural explorations, bamboos were being brought into the country in various ways. These unusual and often strikingly beauti ful plants naturally attracted the attention of travelers, who found they could be lifted in clumps and kept alive for several weeks. Isolated plantings were thus early established along our southern seacoasts, and some of these have developed in a very striking manner. An interesting case in point is the grove on the Ogeechee Road, 14: miles south of Savannah, Ga. This grove is now more than 30 years old, covers an area of something over an acre, and many of the plants are 50 to 60 feet in height. Mr. Lathrop's continued interest in the bamboo is shown by the fact that when this remarkable planting of oriental bamboos was called to his attention he purchased it, together with 40 acres of surrounding land, and deeded the property to the Government for plant-introduction work.

Book Description
"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
