Who do you think is stronger – the Sun or the North Wind? They both found themselves in a dispute because they both thought that they were strongest. They saw a traveler who was just passing by and they decided that whoever made the man remove his cloak would be proclaimed the strongest. A winner is declared. Who will it be and what is the moral of the story? Find out in Aesop’s fable "The North Wind and the Sun". Aesop's fables feature animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. All the stories story lead to a particular moral lesson. Aesop (620–564 BCE) was a storyteller that was believed to have lived in Ancient Greece. He is celebrated for a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. In the few scattered sources about his life, Aesop was described as a slave who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states. Although Aesop's existence remains unclear, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day.

Weather (working title) explains how weather works. Why is it raining? Where does the fog come from? What happens in a thunderstorm? How does geography affect the weather? The book features fun facts, trivia, and anecdotes, e.g. where did El Niño get its name from or how you can tell the temperature by a cricket's chirp. It covers questions like how does forecasting work or what instruments scientists use. It shows a weather station and discovers wind from sand storms, hurricanes to thunderstorms to explaining clouds and cloud formations, to the ice sheets at the ends of the world

Juxtaposing haikus and prints on the theme of the most beautiful landscapes of Japan, this volume looks at its mountains and forests, rivers and streams, beaches and rugged seascapes. Over 120 haiku by such well-known and beloved poets as Basho, Issa and Buson are included, as well as both full colour and black and white reproductions of prints by such masters as Korin, Sekka and Ike no Taiga. In his introduciton, Stephen Addiss writes of the unique Japanese attitude towards nature and the manner in which they incorporate this sensibility into poetry, and briefly reviews the various styles of the art presented.
