Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This is a nicely preserved issue of the March 1903 "Cosmopolitan Illustrated Monthly Magazine" . There is a lot to digest in this old periodical. The word beauty must have been making the rounds in the editorial office, for there are Two articles addressing said word : "Beauty in the Modern Chorus", and "Beauty and the Woman of Fifty". Both are illustrated with photographs of lovely women. On a more serious front, apiece on "The Police Systems of Europe" by Avery D. Andrews (who had been Police Commissioner of New York). Surprising to see the bicycle usage in Europe for officers of the law; the article is illustrated with photographs. "Mankind in the Making", a serialized work by H. G. Wells, is continued. A feature on European artist Franz Von Lembach should be interesting to those who are aware of him. There is plenty of fiction, and a smattering of poetry, and a great deal of period advertising, covering just about anything you could imagine, including automobiles, cameras, typewriters, fashion, foods, medical curiosities, and more. TABLE OF CONTENTS : * Beauty in the Modern Chorus -- by Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen (stepping away from his professorship and fame as a Norwegian-born novelist) * The Police Systems of Europe -- by Avery D.

Jacket like new. Proceeds benefit Friends of the Library; books sold are NOT ex-library. "Honest and reliable service - every book hand-packaged with care". Praying mantids have fascinated people for thousands of years In their Book of the Dead, ancient Egyptians honored the mantis as a minor deity, the "Bird-Fly," whose function was to conduct the souls of the dead to the netherworld The Chinese bred mantids for fighting and celebrated their ferocity and foolhardy courage (they sometimes attack prey larger than themselves) in songs and poems Today, mantids continue to seize the imaginations of serious researchers and backyard naturalists with their dramatic method of capturing prey, their bizarre "sexual cannibalism," and their appeal as "beneficial" insects. The Praying Mantids represents the current state of knowledge on these remarkable insects, bringing together all that is currently understood about their ecology, taxonomy, reproduction, sensory systems, motor behavior, and defense strategies The chapters reflect the strong personal stamp and intellectual commitment of the contributors, who have all done pioneering work in mantid research Many of the selections present ground-breaking data on topics not previously explored The text is enhanced by numerous illustrations, including a gallery of color images, and a final section of the book covers information available nowhere else on rearing and breeding techniques The foreword is written by Professor John Alcock, a leader in the field of animal behavior. Generously illustrated and admirably comprehensive, The Praying Mantids is an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and teachers in the life sciences, as well as a fascinating book for hobbyists and anyone interested in animal behavior and natural history.…
