Ranger Robin wrote Books on Birds.
Miniature Monday!
Small books about birds by “Ranger Robin” published by Phillips and Hunt. No date, but definitely 19th century. These are four inches tall, so they are a bit beyond a miniature book, but definitely still small.
The books are: Hawks and Owls, Swimming Birds, Tooth-Billed Birds, Vultures and Eagles, and Wading Birds.
Seemed a shame that color wasn’t available to them when they printed that frontispiece, so I added the red they must have wished for.

“The website MathPuzzle.

Working as a puzzle author got me through college and helped me establish a name for myself.”
Bullet Journal.

I sure would like to see this new Propulsion Technology in use for Interplanetary Travel someday!
Channeling Star Trek: Researchers to Begin Fusion Impulse Engine Experiments
by Michael Keller
Star Trek fans take note: Have a seat before you read the next sentence or prepare to swoon.
University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) aerospace engineers working with NASA, Boeing and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are investigating how to build fusion impulse rocket engines for extremely high-speed space travel.
“Star Trek fans love it, especially when we call the concept an impulse drive, which is what it is,” says team member Ross Cortez, an aerospace engineering Ph.D. candidate at UAH’s Aerophysics Research Center.
Stay seated Trekkies, because there’s more.
