Based on a series of articles published in the Massachusetts Audubon Society journal of the same name, The Curious Naturalist provides a wealth of crafts, games, activities, and ideas for teaching children about the world of nature--from how mammals survive in winter to how to build an insect cage in summer. Organized by season, skillfully hand-lettered, and illustrated with line drawings, this handbook offers nature lovers, young and old alike, a potpourri of fascinating facts and folklore about common plants, animals, and natural phenomena.

The appeal of Asian Theater in America today confirms that the theatre of the Far East is a remarkable and catalytic experience for a Western audience. Staging Japanese Theatre presents two complete plays in the theatrical forms of Noh and Kabuki. Each play appears in Japanese with English translations on facing pages and is pre-ceded by a brief history of the theatre form and the evolution of the production. The text contains an abundance of photographs, diagrams, and the stage directions from the IASTA performance.
