Swedish Fairy Tales by Herman Hofberg translated by W. H. Myers (Rare Book Collection)
It is probably known to most readers that there is a distinction between Tradition and Saga. Tradition has, or at least seems to have, to do with facts, usually designating some particular spot or region where the incident is said to have taken place, often even giving the names of actors, while the Saga is entirely free in its scope, equally as regards incident, and the time and place of its happening. Not infrequently the traditions of a people are founded upon actual historical occurrences, which, often repeated in the naive manner of the peasantry, become, finally, folk-lore. A great many are, however, drawn from ancient myths, which, in time, become clad in historical garb, and are located in some particular place.

Suitable for high school and above, this four-volume reference provides a broad introduction to many facets of biology, and concentrates in depth on a smaller number of central ideas and phenomena that are central to all biological processes.

One of the major themes is molecular genetics, from genes and chromosomes to cloning and the Human Genome Project. Other topics include human physiology; comparative animal and plant physiology; health issues important to students such as smoking, alcohol, and sexually transmitted diseases; animal and plant diversity, and major environmental challenges.
