by Bill Nye

"Cordwood is a collection of humorous essays by Bill Nye, the celebrated humorist and journalist. In these essays, Nye takes on a wide range of topics, from the cow industry to the history of Galileo. His wit and satire are sure to leave readers laughing out loud." Bill Nye's Cordwood is a collection of 18 essays that were originally published in newspapers and magazines in the late 19th century. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the serious to the silly. In one essay, Nye discusses the cow industry, arguing that there should be a cowboy college to educate young men in this profession. In another essay, he provides a new biography of Galileo, revealing some lesser-known facts about the Italian scientist. And in yet another essay, he offers his thoughts on the fashions of the day, including the popularity of small dogs worn by ladies. Nye's essays are full of humor and satire. He has a knack for finding the funny side of even the most serious topics. His writing is also clear and concise, making it easy to read and understand.
