Anno’s work has won numerous awards, most notably the Hans Christian Andersen Award and Horn Book Award. While several of the books are math focused, there are also books about letters, world cultures, brain teasers, and literature. “Anno’s Counting Book” is part of a collection of books, all similarly titled with the author’s name. The book’s premise is quite simple, but concepts can be used for higher observation and math skills: the zero page has two hills and one river, the two page has four people (2X2=4), ten lower windows plus two dormer windows equals twelve windows, and so on. The two page contains many representations of twos, some in obvious pairs – two kids, two trucks – while other pairs are less apparent: two chimneys, a road forking into two routes, two hands on the clock, two open windows among many closed win For example, while the page for zero is two blank hills and a river, the one page has one bridge, one house, one sun, one bird, and more. As a number is introduced, the corresponding amount appears in multiple ways on the page. Each page spread shows the same quaint country scene, a pair of hills separated by a river. The book contains eleven page spreads that illustrate basic number concepts from zero to ten. “Anno’s Counting Book” is a well known pre-literacy counting book. Practice the numbers zero through ten in a colorful, engaging book by famous children’s artist Mitsumasa Anno. “Anno’s Counting Book” by Mitsumasa Anno, 1977.

When he's done the job, his memory is rewound to the point in time the implant was activated, essentially letting him forget all the nasty things he's done. The twist is that he has an implant that gets activated just before he takes on an assignment. He basically does what he's told when he's told to do it.

However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffmann's family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822) was born in Königsberg, East Prussia.

Probably Hoffman's most well-known story, produced in 1816, due to the fact that - some seventy-six years later - it inspired Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker".

My original purpose in pulling together these notes was to better understand the Socialistic Labor Party functioning on the edges of a mass Greenback insurgency.
