yeah I know the subject is a bit vague. We have one of this series in our collection... and I am wondering if there would be interest for me to scan the rest. And if someone would be willing to validate them? They are older books from the 1960s and 1970s, but the information they present is pretty relevant or so far I have found. From what I have seen, all that would need to be done is edit out the "junk" caused by pictures, and then label the "captions" as captions, as they aren't right now. These are adult level books, and full of some really great detail, and information. Anyway, as I did a "The World of the..." search in our library I came up with the following. Bison Black Bear Ant Coyote Great Horned Owl Bee Harvester Ants Frog and Toad Moose American Elk Wood Duck Canada Goose Swan Red Tailed Hawk Otter Bottlenose Dolphin Giant Panda Wolf Polar Bear Grizzly Bear Snake Wasp White Tailed Deer Walrus Jaguar Ruffed Grouse I suspect I am missing a few from this list as I just caught them as I went down the list. I am willing to scan these, they aren't too huge, and they do offer quite a bit of still useful information for their age. Anyway let me know if there would be any interest. The one we have in the collection is The World of the Beaver Anyway let me know, as I can grab them while I am here at Western but probably won't have a ton of time to edit them. My library in Corry only has the Beaver book. Am planning to pile up and validate over Christmas. Will have a full work load next semester with six classes and practicum. So plan to do some validating and scanning to "unwind" after a hard day of grooling work, smile. Actually it is relaxing to me, guess I am strange? Shelley L.
