Edred John Henry Corner was one of the most colourful and productive biologists and mycologists of the 20th century. His career began in 1929 as Assistant Director of the Straits Settlements Singapore Botanic Gardens, where he trained monkeys to collect specimens from the treetops of the rainforest, and published Wayside Trees of Malaya, a classic field guide interspersed with his delightful and idiosyncratic observations on plant life.

American Kitsune, Vol. 6
Not Exactly a Triumphant Return Home. Kevin and Lilian, along with their family and friends, return home after their disastrous spring break vacation. Kevin tries to come to terms with the not-so-shocking knowledge that the yōkai world isn’t all humor and tropes. While Kevin is dealing with this newfound knowledge and the loss of his innocence, life returns to normal—what passes for normality when living with a family of kitsune. But when lightning strikes, it likes to strike twice. Too bad for Kevin, the world of yōkai is the same way. He and Lilian will soon learn that the yōkai world isn’t prepared to let them go just because they want to live the life of normal high school students.

The war between humans and yokai has become even more violent, assassins and dangerous plots threaten to tear the world apart, and Kevin lost his homework.

American Kitsune, Vol. 11
THE WAR CONTINUES... Kevin, Lilian and Iris have reunited with Christine, yet several major hurdles keep this reunion from being truly heartwarming—though it certainly hasn’t stopped things between Kevin and the girls from heating up. Christine introduces them to Orin, an ornery and perverted old monkey with a thing for flat chests, who has no intention of joining Daven Monstrang’s alliance. Dark truths are revealed, enemies show their fangs, and Kevin still has to convince Orin to ally himself with Daven Monstrang and Kuroneko. But in order to convince Orin to join their alliance, Kevin, Lilian, and Iris will have to prove themselves by confronting a threat none of them are prepared for.
American Kitsune, Vol. 5: A Fox's Vacation
Hot springs, nude scenes, and fan service galore! Spring break has finally come. Kevin and Lilian are traveling to California with their friends and family, where they plan to enjoy a week at the beach and attend the San Diego Comic-Con. Of course, with this mixed bag of yōkai and humans involved, disaster waits around every corner. Between getting caught in the middle of a war involving kappa and kitsune, a mysterious assassin who’s trying to kill Lilian, and the spandex-clad Sons and Daughters of Humanity, Kevin is going to have his hands full. He really should have seen this coming. Whoever said that hindsight is fifty-fifty deserves to be punched in the face.
The Tudors on Film and Television
With its mix of family drama, sex and violence, Britain's Tudor dynasty (1485-1603) has long excited the interest of filmmakers and moviegoers. Since the birth of movie-making technology, the lives and times of kings Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Edward VI and queens Mary I, Jane Grey and Elizabeth I have remained popular cinematic themes. From 1895's The Execution of Mary Stuart to 2011's Anonymous, this comprehensive filmography chronicles every known movie about the Tudor era, including feature films; made-for-television films, mini-series, and series; documentaries; animated films; and shorts. From royal biographies to period pieces to modern movies with flashbacks or time travel, this work reveals how these films both convey the attitudes of Tudor times and reflect the era in which they were made.
Kandinsky and Old Russia
Vasilii Kandinsky, whom many consider to be the father of abstract painting, was also a trained ethnographer with an abiding interest in the folklore of Old Russia. In this provocative book, Peg Weiss provides an entirely new interpretation of Kandinsky's art by examining for the first time how this commitment to his ethnic Russian heritage influenced the painter's work throughout his career.

In desperation, she turns to Lesse and Harmon, two quarrelsome friends with intimate knowledge of online computer worlds into which she's convinced the two kids have disappeared. What follows is a nightmare tour through the Internet's unfathomable underside and a chilling confrontation in cyberspace with dire real life implications.
American Kitsune, Vol. 3
The tail of a boy, a kitsune… and a maid? Kevin Swift doesn’t know what to think anymore. His love for Lindsay has dwindled, his mind is constantly plagued by thoughts of Lilian, and now he has to deal with his sexy housemate’s maid: A kimono-clad, katana-wielding femme fatale who doesn't like him very much—and who has this weird tendency of adding Japanese suffixes to everyone’s name for some reason. Go figure. Now Kevin must make an irreversible choice: To become Lilian’s mate or not. It’s a life changing decision that no teenager should have to make. Unfortunately for him, Lilian’s maid has basically threatened to clean out his entrails with her katana if he doesn't. He used to think being a teenager sucked. Now he’s realized that being a teenager is nothing compared to being the potential mate to a kitsune whose maid holds no moral compunctions about flaying him alive.
