Book Description
Economica Mogambo is a compilation of some of the best articles on economics from Richard Daughty, aka Mogambo Guru, the writer of the Mogambo Guru Economic Newsletter. But this isn't your typical economics tome. Economica Mogambo takes you on a rollicking journey into Mogambo's underground bunker, to the local grocery store and through the streets of Tampa as an angry man in Florida expounds the Austrian Business Cycle theory to everyone he encounters employing his whimsical and unconventional methods with often hilarious results. The Desk Reference is an easy read with each essay only three or four pages in length but you'll find it difficult to put down. Anyone who finds economics dry and dull will find Daughty is a master at taking this subject and, by weaving in humorous anecdotes from his daily encounters, brings this topic to spirited life. Teens and pre-teens have found this book enjoyable, which is unprecedented in the field of economics, and all come away with a better knowledge of Austrian economics and current events when they thought they were only reading funny stories of a man named Mogambo Guru. Mogambo Guru always says to buy gold, silver and oil stocks. This book is gold for anyone seeking valuable and instructive economic education in a format that appeals to all ages and makes a wonderful addition to your home schooling resources.

Individual sections of the book display a rich variety of typefaces in categories such as Condensed, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Rustic, Thick-and-tin, Calligraphic, Uncials, Latins, and Blackletter. Samples are imaginatively presented.

The Flame Trees of Thika
Author: Elspeth Huxley
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101651393
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
In an open cart Elspeth Huxley set off with her parents to travel to Thika in Kenya. As pioneering settlers, they built a house of grass, ate off a damask cloth spread over packing cases, and discovered—the hard way—the world of the African. With an extraordinary gift for detail and a keen sense of humor, Huxley recalls her childhood on the small farm at a time when Europeans waged their fortunes on a land that was as harsh as it was beautiful. For a young girl, it was a time of adventure and freedom, and Huxley paints an unforgettable portrait of growing up among the Masai and Kikuyu people, discovering both the beauty and the terrors of the jungle, and enduring the rugged realities of the pioneer life.
