“It is difficult for the human mind to take a comprehensive view of a subject.” This is how librarian Arthur Bostwick begins his essay Three Kinds of Librarians. Many volume 102 readers chose faceted inquiry into the human experience: the Balfour Declaration; Ethics and the Weather; Typhoid Fever in Melbourne; High-Grade Men; Attractive Labor; Forced Sterilization; If Your Baby Must Travel in Wartime; Shall We Scrap the Calendar?; Impossibility of Witchcraft; Phenomena Called Spiritual; the Mutability of Literature; and Dining Out. Also included in the volume are biographies of two Polish military heroes of the American War for Independence: Tadeusz Kościuszko and Kazimierz Pulaski. In a lighter vein is American Film, the Animated Cartoon. Craftsmanship is explored in How the Wheels of a Watch Go Around and On Shoeing Horses. Nature topics include Geometroid Caterpillars and The Bark Kathleen Sunk By a Whale. – Summary by Sue Anderson
