A story of animal farm, sheep dogs, mad X’s, BP teachers and other unexplained phenomena. Presented in no particular order by a random BP author and his fucking BP computer. Random Roo is obviously a pseudonym, but I feel obliged to show my face here. This is the last picture taken of me when I still looked pretty. Actualy the picture is on the back cover! I am pretty sure I am not going to make friends in high places. This book contains highly sensitive information which has been kept secret from us mushrooms who have been kept in the dark and fed on shit. ( this explaination of what a mushroom is is for the Americans ) It is a semi serious attempt at not only solving the problems of the World, but more importantly examining why these problems are not easy to solve. It is mainly an attempt at opening peoples eyes to a few inconvenient facts. The definition of a BP is in the book. There is a reason it is not explained here. Although I have written this book in a style that anyone can understand, it is the product of much research into science and psychology, backed up by 50 years in the university of hard knocks. Your's Truly. Random Roo!

Tobacco and sugar have made the history, the character, and the economy of Cuba. In this entertaining book, packed with fascinating lore, scholarship in its most humane form, and the flavor of Fernando Ortiz’s exceedingly civilized and humorous personality, the two important crops are seen from many points of view. Their economic aspects form the base, but they are examined, too, for their effects on folklore, art, science, industry, and daily human living. Out of personal experience, memory, and a lifetime of reading in all the western European languages, Dr. Ortiz has condensed exactly what is most telling, interesting, and significant about the leafy plant and the cane that together have made the story of his native land. The present translation, by Harriet de Onís, was made from a text specially prepared in Spanish by the author. It has an admiring introduction by the late Bronislaw Malinowski and a prologue by Herminio Portell Vilá, noted Cuban historian and sociologist.
