The Trav'lers Curse
Scott Schell is the 24-year old son of super rich and highly respected Dr. Haywood Schell of Boston. Scott's consistently dissolute behavior induces Dr. Shell to remove Scott from his Will. The severance is irreversible unless Scott visits and reports on the Schell mineral holdings in Coonskin County, West Virginia. Scott begins his journey to Coonskin County with his only remaining possessions: the tuxedo he is wearing and a little over one-hundred dollars in cash. During his excursion into the backwoods of West Virginia, he encounters various eccentrics, coundrels and heroes. He learns valuable lessons of life from each of these. Finally, Scott meets and falls in love with Doris Gruver, a great beauty from Philadelphia, who, like himself, has become entrapped in a deadly web of fate. Together, they will trust the mysterious widow Ola, an ex-spy, to engineer their escape from fanatic holdovers from the War Between the States.

New York's Broken Constitution
On its face, New York State's constitution is an elaborate and impressive aggregation of processes, powers, mandates, and limits. But many of these are "inoperative," and New Yorkers who read the document and believe what it says will come away with a massive misunderstanding of the realities of state government. The essays in New York's Broken Constitution seek to clarify the realities by bringing attention to the gaps between what the constitution says and how the state is actually governed, and they provide a disquieting picture of the state of the state's constitution. Among the topics addressed are state debt and budgeting practices, legislative redistricting, local government, gambling, conservation, and the process of amending the constitution. Written by knowledgeable professionals, the chapters explain the constitutional provisions in question, including the reasons for their constitutional status; how they have been used and interpreted; and the extent of the gaps between the constitutional provisions and practice. Various proposals for reform are also examined.

Locust
Throughout the nineteenth century, swarms of locusts regularly swept across the continent, turning noon into dusk, demolishing farm communities, and bringing trains to a halt as the crushed bodies of insects greased the rails. In 1876, the U.S. Congress declared the locust "the single greatest impediment to the settlement of the country." From the Dakotas to Texas, from California to Iowa, the swarms pushed thousands of settlers to the brink of starvation, prompting the federal government to enlist some of the greatest scientific minds of the day and thereby jumpstarting the fledgling science of entomology. Over the next few decades, the Rocky Mountain locust suddenly -- and mysteriously -- ...
