| America's Black President, by Monteiro Lobato, 1926 |
As I write, Obama has just taken the state of Mississippi in the Democratic
Party primaries, against his white, female opponent. Monteiro Lobato wrote
of this possibility in 1926, and the reprint of O Presidente Negro is selling like wildfire all over Brazil. I have undertaken to translate the text into 1926 English, and can provide side-by-side samples to publishers or venture capitalists interested in backing its publication. The iron is hot, and this is not the sort of opportunity that knocks a second time. More.... |

As Razoens da Inconfydência Mineira, by Antonio Torres, 1924. Motives for Mutiny in Minas. This 102 pp. 23,000 word English version contains follows the original
format exactly. Written as an apologia for Tiradentes' anti-imperial independence
movement of 1792, the book is a polemical Brazilian attack on all things
Portuguese. Heavily footnoted with excerpts going back 2 centuries in 3
languages, Torres offers a glimpse of ideology underlying another Coolidge-era
nationalist movement just prior to the revolution that brought the Getúlio
Vargas régime to power. Includes a potpourri of historical financial
documents. Serious publisher inquiries only, please. Ask for excerpts in
both languages. |

| Dome Cookbook of Geodesic Geometry--by David Kruschke, 2nd Edition; attribution, reviews (40k JPG images) |
While an engineering student, I sent in so many suggestions to clarify
the calculations in this hand-drawn Buckminster Fuller spherical trigonometry
booklet that the author gave me a "special thanks" attribution.
Independently I have calculated the xyz coordinates for some of these domes,
suitable for structural analysis using STRUDL programs. I can also produce
styrofoam mock-ups of the beryllium layer for fission bombs, suitable for
adventure movie props. |
