Excerpt from Practical Rate Making and Appraisement The eager mind and brain is learning new things every day and this fact makes one hesitate in the attempt to collate, digest and systematize this new branch of engineering science, "Rate making and appraisement" for undoubtedly there remains much of value to be originated and added to it. The fact that the writer has been without precedents in his work and has been obliged to originate almost all of it so far as rate making is concerned makes him hesitate, but on the other hand, the fact that 6,500 copies of his book, "The Finances of Gas and Electric Light and Power Enterprises," have been sold and the demand for it still continues urges him to extend it by a work which is up to date, and which will enable others to practically execute in detail what he has so far in print only discussed in disconnected reports. The writer most gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness for practical data to the admirable reports of the Massachusetts Gas and Electric Light Commission. Even in its lack of aggressiveness it appears to have proved itself, on the whole, both safer and wiser than other commissions.

The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.
