Pages : 144
Book Description
'The Dollar Hen' by Milo M. Hastings is a groundbreaking book during its time of publication, that challenges the poultry industry's conventional wisdom and offers a new approach to poultry production and marketing. Hastings argues that despite the vast amount of literature on poultry farming, the industry is plagued by a lack of scientific and economic understanding. Using a concrete example of a failed poultry farm, Hastings shows that following traditional methods and advice often leads to financial ruin. This book offers practical solutions for poultry farmers who want to make a profit by focusing on sound principles of economics and science, rather than gimmicks or fads.

Historical Dictionary of Utopianism
Author: Toby Widdicombe
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 153810217X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 613
Book Description
Utopian thinking embraces fictional descriptions of how to create a better (but not a perfect) alternative way of life as well as intentional communities (that is, groups of people leading lives in small communities for their own betterment and the betterment of others). The first edition almost exclusively dealt with the intentional-community side of utopianism; this second edition offers a much more inclusive definition of the key term utopia by offering a great many entries devoted to describing fictional or literary utopian works. It is also heavily illustrated with plates from utopian works, especially those from the heyday of utopianism in the late nineteenth century. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Utopianism contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on broad conceptual entries; narrower entries about specific works; and narrower entries about specific intentional communities or movements. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Utopianism.

City of Endless Night
Author: Milo M. Hastings
Publisher: Hesperus Press
ISBN: 1780943113
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
A fascinating and disturbing dystopian vision from a neglected sci-fi master, imagining an all too terrifying alternate ending to World War I and its implications for the human race The year is 2041. Since the end of WWI, Berlin has been an enormous subterranean city, home to 300 million citizens who have never seen the sun, and presided over by the autocratic Hohenzollern dynasty. Every aspect of life is regimented; from controlled rations that are issued on the basis of work-for-food, to a press that works exclusively under the auspices of the Information Service. Christianity has been abolished and all breeding is carried out on the basis of strict eugenic principles. Lyman De Forrest, an American chemist, discovers a way of neutralizing Berlin's defenses and, assuming the identity of a dead German man, enters the city to discover its hidden truths. The first outsider for decades to enter the forbidden metropolis, he is horrified to find a society where women are kept in isolation for breeding or the pleasuring of high status men. Can De Forrest escape this living tomb? Published shortly after the end of WWI, this tremendous example of early dystopian science fiction is thought to have been the inspiration behind Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
