Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a fantasy about animals, containing a lot of trivia, facts, fantasy, and a myriad of pun aspects of the animals. What might happen if, after the destruction of the human race, animals took over? This is a tale about the malicious murder of a few animals and the resulting chase, arrest, and prosecution of the perpetrators. It is told by an elephant to his grand calves. The story covers the murder and the investigation by Chief Inspector Bobby Bloodhound and his renowned team of detectives. They investigate the ant colonies, the beehives, the ocean, the bird sanctuary, the farm, and the wild jungle. There is a chase, a capture, and a court case to follow. Many human comparisons can be made from the behavior and actions of the animals involved.

Download or read book Con Man written by J.R. Weil and published by Crown. This book was released on 2004-07-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Joseph “Yellow Kid” Weil, a man who could—and often did—pull off scams to outshine The Sting. In his long career as a confidence man, Joseph “Yellow Kid” Weil swindled the public of more than eight million dollars and established the reputation for robbery and trickery. Always beating the police at their own game, “Yellow Kid” used phony oil deals, women, fixed races, and an endless list of other tricks to best an increasingly gullible public. One day, he was Dr. Henri Reuel, a noted geologist who traveled around and told his hosts that he was a representative for a big oil company—all the while draining them of the cash they gave him to “invest in fuel.” The next day, he was director of the Elysium Development Company, promising land to innocent believers while robbing them in recording and abstract fees. Or he was a chemist par excellence who had discovered how to copy dollar bills; promising to increase your fortune, he would multiply your bills—then take the booty once the police arrived. Originally published in 1948, here is Weil’s true and amazing story, with a smart and witty Afterword by none other than Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow, who profiled “Yellow Kid” for The Reporter in 1956. It is undeniable proof that “Yellow Kid” was the con man par excellence—the virtuoso scam artist, bar none.

Book excerpt: Animated films often bring to mind images of Saturday morning cartoons on television, but at one time, animated films, both long and short, were found mostly on the silver screen as part of the featured program. In 1977, George Lucas even specially requested a cartoon to open Star Wars-"Duck Dodgers and the 241⁄2 Century," featuring Daffy Duck. In its rich history, cinematic animation has developed from silent monochrome images to sound-filled shorts that ran with newsreels and adventure serials-to animation sequences used to enliven commercials or live-action films-and finally to feature films like Fantasia and Cinderella. This encyclopedia covers all English language animation from the crucial first eighty years of its history. From the popular to the obscure, from Bugs to Mickey, from the short to the feature, nearly 7,000 items are covered. Each entry includes production information, date, running time, and a synopsis. Much of the information compiled here is rare. For example, character voices once considered "anonymous" are here identified, and animated films now lost because they were once considered expendable are here given the attention they deserve. A complete index allows multiple points of access.

Book excerpt: Harness racing is a romantic quest by owners and trainers to find that elusive top horse. But it is also a successful industry where there are various other professions involved contributing to the overall picture of it being the most exciting horse sport of them all. You may believe you know each of these five greats, but it will become apparent there is so much more to them than you realised.The story of Jim Walsh takes you behind the scenes when he was taken on by the system in two countries, at one stage leading to death threats and violence involving prominent names. The leading administrators of the day banned his latest sulky, only to later see America claim it to be one of the major breakthroughs of the 20th century. Vin Knight was destined to be a handful for all who tried to compete with him. Despite his many remarkable triumphs, we later discovered there had been times when he had only been an impulse away from disaster. West Australian Mick Lombardo became a 24 carat phenomenon in owning and breeding. Yet, his previous life is a wonderfully warm and fascinating story about him when a young sea captain, and his part in the discovery of Australia's largest-ever gas and oil fields. This is the first ever detailed look behind the curtains of Rob Merola, a man who took SEW Eurodrive to the top in its field of expertise, and why he made the decision to sponsor harness racing in several States like no other commercial company ever has. He is a man who loves sharing winners with friends and newcomers to the sport. No one has ever previously written about the sheer genius of Bede Ireland, who used his remarkable talents to design some of the best harness racing tracks in the world, only to fall from grace in the eyes of our leading administrators. This talent has left behind a great legacy. But at what cost to the man himself?
