Anyone know the Library of Congress Subject Heading for questionable children’s literature? Asking for a friend…
From the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chcago comes this children’s ABC book that doubles as an advertisement for plasters and pills because why not?
Highlights also include “M for Mutiny:”
and “E for Entreaty:”
See Brandreth Columbian ABC for the little ones (ca. 1893) for more.
After a cursory search, I realised I couldn’t find a single easy table online where USDA Hardiness Zones and AHS Heat Zones were pictured together, easily readable, and in centigrade. So, I made one, using the charts available on wikipedia.
Feel free to download, share, and use on your website.
Knowing which climactic zone you are in is vital to choosing the right plants for your garden. There are a number of other factors to consider, of course, such as rainfall, soil, snow cover, drainage, acidity/alkalinity, altitude, and latitude, but many of those factors can be manipulated either with labour, or the creation of microclimates.
*my physics professor was explaining a series circuit vs. a parallel circuit* “If a series circuit is given 100 amps, some of that goes to each resistor. But if a parallel circuit is given 100 amps, it will send 100 amps to each resistor. It’s like Oprah. You get 100 amps. You get 100 amps. The parallel circuit is the Oprah circuits.”
This is how far into the earth humans have dug so far.
