http://www.pravda.ru/photo/album/21679/ Giant pandas rest at the Ya'an Bifengxia Base of the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda after a strong earthquake hit China's Sichuan Province on April 24, 2013 in Ya'an, China. All 61 giant pandas at Bifengxia Panda Base are safe after a powerful earthquake struck Lushan County of Ya'an City on the morning of April 20 Splash/All Over

With an average lifespan of 25 years, a giant panda's average size is 42" tall and 350 pounds. Whereas most bears have round pupils, giant pandas have vertical slits, like cats' eyes. It is these unique eyes that inspired the Chinese to call the panda the 'giant bear cat.' Pandas spend twelve hours a day eating up to 83 pounds of bamboo. Instead of saving energy by hibernating, they move up and down the mountainside to regulate their body temperature.

Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, China has used a form of "panda diplomacy" through the political gifting and leasing of pandas to countries with friendly relations.

1Life of Kit Carson

By Edward S. Ellis

Christopher Carson, or as he was familiarly called, Kit Carson, was a man whose real worth was understood only by those with whom he was associated or who closely studied his character. He was more than hunter, trapper, guide, Indian agent and Colonel in the United States Army....His lot was cast on the extreme western frontier, where, when but a youth, he earned the respect of the tough and frequently lawless men with whom he came in contact. Integrity, bravery, loyalty to friends, marvelous quickness in making right decisions, in crisis of danger, consummate knowledge of woodcraft, a leadership as skillful as it was daring; all these were distinguishing traits in the composition of Carson and were the foundations of the broader fame which he acquired as the friend and invaluable counselor of Fremont, the Pathfinder, in his expeditions across the Rocky Mountains. (Summary from the Introduction)

By Edward S. Ellis

Having made their way to Missouri, they join a wagon train headed for the famed Oregon Trail, but being carefree and adventuresome young men, they are not happy relaxing by the fireside of an evening.

7English Girl's First Impressions of Burmah

By Beth Ellis

An English Girl's First Impressions of Burmah, by Beth Ellis, is a well-edited, turn-of-the-century journal documenting a young woman’s visit to Burma. The account documents her ocean voyage to Rangoon, and her stay in a small, jungle-embedded, European community in Remyo. The author, who travelled to Asia alone to visit her brother, is quick to laugh at her own exaggerated fears. She gives us a glimpse into the less-than-glamorous lives to Myanmar’s British occupiers. The book was published in 1899, just thirteen years after the conclusion of the third Anglo-Burmese war, when Britain took formal control of Myanmar and made it a province of India. (Summary by Carol Fullerton-Samsel)

10In the Pecos Country

By Edward S. Ellis

Edward Sylvester Ellis was a major American author during the era of inexpensive fiction of the nineteenth century (dime novels).

He specialized in boys' stories, inspirational biography, and history for both children and adults. (From FictionDB.com) This is a western, set in the Pecos River valley in the late 19th century, post Civil War era.

12Little Bit of Fluff

By Walter W. Ellis

According to the website www.stagebeauty.net, this is the 5th longest running play ever, with over 1200 original performances. Like Charley's Aunt (number 2 on the list and released by Librivox earlier in 2018), this also is a farce. An insurance investigator, a possible fraudulent injury claim, a lost necklace, an aged aunt with a more than passing resemblance to someone else, and of course, that Little Bit of Fluff - all conspire to cause great confusion. - Summary by ToddHW <BR><BR>Cast list:<BR> JOHN AYERS: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789">Tomas Peter</a><br> BERTRAM TULLY, His friend: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13072">Campbell Schelp</a><br> NIXON TRIPPETT, Inspector of Claims for the Motor ’Bus Company: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7079">Chuck Williamson</a><br> DR.

Citing and collating an extensive source of information from the Dictionary of National Biography, many pieces of informational are discussed, including the ancestral heritage, geographical distribution, professions, and health and morbidity of the most the most preeminent men and women of the time.

17Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 3

By Havelock Ellis

Volume 3: Analysis of the Sexual Impulse; Love and Pain In the study of Love and Pain I have discussed the sources of those aberrations which are commonly called, not altogether happily, "sadism" and "masochism." Here we are brought before the most extreme and perhaps the most widely known group of sexual perversions. I have considered them from the medico-legal standpoint, because that has already been done by other writers whose works are accessible. I have preferred to show how these aberrations may be explained; how they may be linked on to normal and fundamental aspects of the sexual impulse; and, indeed, in their elementary forms, may themselves be regarded as normal. In some degree they are present, in every case, at some point of sexual development; their threads are subtly woven in and out of the whole psychological process of sex. I have made no attempt to reduce their complexity to a simplicity that would be fallacious. I hope that my attempt to unravel these long and tangled threads will be found to make them fairly clear. In the third study, on The Sexual Impulse in Women, we approach a practical question of applied sexual psychology, and a question of the first importance. No doubt the sex impulse in men is of great moment from the social point of view. It is, however, fairly obvious and well understood. The impulse in women is not only of at least equal moment, but it is far more obscure. The natural difficulties of the subject have been increased by the assumption of most writers who have touched it—casually and hurriedly, for the most part—that the only differences to be sought in the sexual impulse in man and in woman are quantitative differences. I have pointed out that we may more profitably seek for qualitative differences, and have endeavored to indicate such of these differences as seem to be of significance. - Summary by Havelock Ellis
