The Bible is funny! Very funny, according to Douglas Adams. In this book, Adams demonstrates how readers can discover this often-neglected humor looking at the Bible as a whole and seeing biblical stories with all their rough edges--the unethical and ambiguous characters, the unsolved problems, and the surprising endings. Adams argues that by missing the humor and irony of the Bible, readers often miss intended meanings as well.

Amy is a young girl living at home with her parents in a small rural neighborhood. She has lived in this house for several years now and has been the only child on the block ever since. Amy has dreamed of having someone to play with for a long time and when someone finally moves into the empty house next door it makes Amy very excited. She can only hope that her new neighbors might have children, perhaps even someone her age. When Amy spots a moving van pulling into the driveway next door, she runs outside and hides in the bushes to try and spy on who is moving in. Sadly, for Amy it was only the moving guys. Only moments later a car pulls up and two adults climb out of the front seat. Amy watches with much curiosity, finally the back door swings wide open and a young boy jumps out of the car. Amy could not believe her eyes, this is exactly what she has been waiting for and now that day has come. Amy's new neighbor Justin is the same age as her and when they meet for the first time a true bond is formed, as if they were meant to be friends. Days after Justin moves in Amy notices a strange light that mysteriously appears in a large pine tree that stands right outside her bedroom window. She has never seen this light before and doesn't have a clue where it is coming from. Amy talks to Justin about this and kindly asks for his help. The two of them, as kids typically do, find their way into complete chaos and mayhem trying to solve this mystery. After some crazy accusations and insane mishaps these young new friends finally find the answer to the mysterious light in Amy's tree.

In the popular imagination, informed as it is by Hogarth, Swift, Defoe and Fielding, the eighteenth-century underworld is a place of bawdy knockabout, rife with colourful eccentrics. But the artistic portrayals we have only hint at the dark reality. In this new edition of a classic collection of essays, renowned social historians from Britain and America examine the gangs of criminals who tore apart English society, while a criminal law of unexampled savagery struggled to maintain stability.Douglas Hay deals with the legal system that maintained the propertied classes, and in another essay shows it in brutal action against poachers; John G. Rule and Cal Winslow tell of smugglers and wreckers, showing how these activities formed a natural part of the life of traditional communities. Together with Peter Linebaugh's piece on the riots against the surgeons at Tyburn, and E. P. Thompson's illuminating work on anonymous threatening letters, these essays form a powerful contribution to the study of social tensions at a transformative and vibrant stage in English history.This new edition includes a new introduction by Winslow, Hay and Linebaugh, reflecting on the turning point in the social history of crime that the book represents.

Armored Scale Insect Pests of Trees and Shrubs (Hemiptera: Diaspididae)
Douglass R. Miller; John A. Davidson
Cornell University Press

Armored scale insects are among the most damaging and least understood of the pests that prey on forest trees, fruit and nut crops, landscape ornamentals, and greenhouse plants. The passage of U.S. plant quarantine laws was prompted by devastation caused by an armored scale in the nineteenth century, and the appearance of new invasive species remains a vital concern at ports of entry and for arborists, farmers, nursery workers, foresters, and gardeners everywhere. This book provides the most comprehensive available information on the identification, field appearance, life history, and economic importance of the 110 economically important armored scale insects that are found in the United States. The authors have devised the first field key to economic armored scales, which will be invaluable to those trying to identify the pests and prevent the introduction of new exotics. (Most of the species covered are not native to the United States but broadly distributed across the globe.) The extensive color plates and highly detailed line drawings surpass anything available in other volumes on armored scale insects, and have not previously been published. Especially noteworthy are the data on distribution, host plants, and the kinds of damage caused by armored scales. The species descriptions include scientific names, synonyms, common names, field characteristics, microscopic characters, affinities, host plants, distribution by state, life history, economic damage, and selected references.
