The Complete Short Stories of Saki (H. H. Munro)
Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916) was a British writer, whose witty works satirizing Edwardian society and culture led him to be known as a master of the short story. Munro, better recognized by the pen name Saki, produced works that contrasted the conventions and hypocrisies of Edwardian England with the uncomplicated and sometimes cruel state of nature, a conflict which the latter usually won. This complete edition of short stories will entertain readers with its wonderfully intricate characters, rich political satire and fine narrative style. The book begins with Saki's first works, the Reginald stories, a small series of vignettes centered around the societal and cynical young Reginald. Also included are Saki's later and more popular story collections: Reginald in Russia, the somewhat macabre tales of The Chronicles of Clovis, Saki's best known Beasts and Super-Beasts, The Toys of Peace, and The Square Egg.

This collection includes a tale featuring Reginald, a multi-faceted character who embodies both the excesses and the virtues of the period.
Meat Animals
Dramatic shortfalls in crop production in various regions of the world have led some people to question the relatively inefficient use of cereal grains for feeding meat animals instead of their direct use for human food. There is no doubt, however, that meat offers a nutritionally valuable, attractive and widely accepted food, the world demand for which increases daily. Thus it is not enough simply to condemn the consumption of meat as an irresponsible extravagance; rather it is preferable to examine how the demand for meat can be met most efficiently and effectively, which requires a fundamental enquiry into how meat is 'grown'. The importance of fat, for instance, both to the growing anima...
