Three Men on Third


Book Description

These two volumes are national treasures. Originally published in 1949 and 1951 respectively, they are pure baseball delight, and they preserve something extraordinary of the American century. They are full of odd ballfield incidents, eccentric characters, and unforgettable lore, all told in the irresistible blithe style of H. Allen Smith, the great funny man. Ira Smith (no relation) spent his life burrowing through archives at the Library of Congress to find tiny items in small-town papers, sublime little baseball stories that would have been lost to the sands of time. And H. Allen Smith took the piles of clippings and notes and wrote these humorous vignettes.




The Book of Three


Book Description

Taran is desperate for adventure. Being a lowly Assistant Pig-Keeper just isn't exciting. That is, until the magical pig, Hen Wen, disappears and Taran embarks on a death-defying quest to save her from the evil Horned King.

Together, they face many dangers, from the deathless Cauldron-Born warriors, dragons, witches and the terrifying Horned King himself. Taran learns much about his identity, but the mysterious Book of Three is yet to reveal his true destiny. "Lloyd Alexander is the true High King of fantasy." - Garth Nix




Three Lost Seeds: Stories of Becoming (Tilbury House Nature Book)


Book Description

To author Stephie Morton, nature's powerful forces are a metaphor for the hardships faced by displaced children. Kids, like seeds, thrive when given a chance. Each of the three seeds in this story—a cherry seed in the Middle East, an acacia seed in Australia, and a lotus seed in Asia—survives a difficult journey through flood, fire, or drought, then sprouts (in the case of the lotus seed, a hundred years later) and flourishes. Stephie's verses and Nicole Wong's art make a picture book to treasure.

Confucius Stories V01-HSK 4-HSK 6 Intermediate Chinese Reading


Book Description

孔子是中国人的代表,两千五百多年来,中国人代代相传,或多或少,都有孔子的精神血统。 他生在周灵王二十一年,比印度的释迦牟尼小六岁,比希腊的苏格拉底大八十二岁,比犹太的耶苏大五百五十二岁 Confucius is a sterling representative of the Chinese people. For the past 2,500 years, generation after generation of Chinese have all, to some degree, been related to Confucius as his spiritual descendants. Confucius was born during the Chou Dynasty, in the twenty-first year of the reign of King Ling. He was six years younger than Sakyamuni, eighty-two years older than Socrates, and five hundred fifty-two years older than Jesus Christ. 这六百年中,世界上诞生了四位伟大的哲人,是史无前例的。 The birth of these four great thinkers within a period of six hundred years is a coincidence unprecedented in history.
