I'm not sure if the bookseller is making assumptions here but it's a pretty cool thought that this book was presented to Timothy Leary by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
** "Zoo in China denies speculation that its bears are actually humans in disguise"
After receiving my degree in animal psychology,
And wondering what path to pursue,
Through reliable sources, I became aware of an opening
As a bear at a Chinese zoo.
What better way to exploit my knowledge
Of the workings of an animal's brain,
Than to spend my days in a bear costume...
Do I really need to explain?
I could wave at the visitors and beg for snacks,
Pose for selfies and growl fairly loud.
There's a sense of fulfillment that a normal job lacks,
As I savor the bemusement of the crowd.
And my uniform, of course: 100% natural fiber,
Made from real bearskin, I suppose.
But the thrill I'd receive
When the crowds finally leave,
Would be more valued than just fancy clothes.
After a long day at work, doing dances, telling jokes--
Of course all in my bear dialect,
I'd go back to my room and
Try once again to act human...
Not as easy as one might expect.

War speculations… Since the first formation of the Ukrainian conflict and the transition to the stage of hot conflict, it was predicted that Russia would end the war in a short time with a quick operation. Since the situation on the field did not turn out to be very favorable, Russia was not in a position to declare victory. That makes it unlikely that on May 9 (the Victory Day Russia celebrates as a national holiday), Putin will announce that the war is over. Putin would probably make such a statement by declaring that they have won the war, but there is no victory.
Russian possibilities… May 9, 1945, the date when the German army accepted the surrender agreement that ended the Second World War. In other words, the day when Stalin's Russia was victorious. Due to the symbolic significance of the day, it was thought that Putin would make a similar crowning in the early stages of the war. Conversely, there are speculations that, given the military failure in Ukraine, Putin could take things a step further on May 9 and beyond.
One of these; just like in Crimea, Russia's declaration of annexation of Donetsk and Luhansk or holding a pro-independence referendum there. Due to the developments in Crimea in 2014, it is highly probable. The independence referendum, and then the decision of de-facto independent regions to join Russia is a way that has been adapted to the book in terms of international law, exactly the same way was followed in Crimea.

'Landscapes of speculation' explores the role of unbuilt sites as ephemeral landscapes conceived by real estate market. Santiago de Chile, as many latin-american countries, is a fast-paced growing city under a free market economy. The transformation of land into a commodity has imposed the logic of speculation onto traditional city developing processes, leaving purposedly undeveloped lots in between highly demanded areas.
These somewhat invisible spaces are closed to the eyes of the passerby; they are not meant to be experienced in their actual conditions, and as such they exist in a liminal situation between nature and currency, space and metaphor. Under this threshold state, space is subject to - or defended from - social practices that are themselves outcasted from contemporary cities. This has led me to wonder about the value this landscapes have to contemporary culture, as they range from 'archeological registries' of economic pressures over land to highly representational and personal spaces.

FCB NEWS :
The transfer window may have shut but that doesn’t mean that speculation has ceased. Far from it. Mateu Alemany and Ramon Planes will take a small break after the end of the summer window, but will be right back at it within a few days. One of their key targets, according to Mundo Deportivo, is Dani Olmo, who they tried to sign in the final days of the window only to fail.Barcelona will go for him again in January and try to prise him from Leipzig, but German clubs are notorious for being difficult to do business with in the winter market. The summer of 2022, therefore, might be more advantageous for the Catalan club. Olmo, 23, will have two more years left on his contract by then, so Leipzig could be convinced should the right offer arrive.Alemany has tracked Olmo since he was at Valencia, and tried to make the deal happen this summer once it became clear that Joao Felix wouldn’t be leaving Atletico Madrid for Camp Nou. Leipzig wanted a fixed fee of €75m for their prize Spaniard, something Barcelona struggled to meet. They proposed a deal similar to the one they agreed with Atletico for the sale of Antoine Griezmann, but Leipzig didn’t consider it.

Portrack Garden, Scotland.
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation is a 30 acre (12 hectare) sculpture garden created by landscape architect and theorist Charles Jencks at his home, Portrack House, near Dumfries in South West Scotland.
The garden is inspired by science and mathematics, with sculptures and landscaping on these themes, such as Black Holes and Fractals. The garden is not abundant with plants, but sets mathematical formulae and scientific phenomenae in a setting which elegantly combines natural features and artificial symmetry and curves. It is probably unique among gardens, drawing comparisons with a similarly abstract garden in Scotland, Little Sparta.
The garden is private but usually opens on one day each year through Scotland's Gardens Scheme and raises money for Maggie's Centres, a cancer care charity named for Maggie Keswick Jencks, the late wife of Charles Jencks.
The garden is the subject of an orchestral composition by American composer, Michael Gandolfi, which he composed for a joint commission from the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood Music Center. The piece was subsequently recorded by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano, and nominated for "Best Contemporary Classical Composition" at the 2009 Grammy Awards (Wikipedia).

Speculation says this may or may not be coming back this year. Heres to hoping it does, because one thing i've always wanted to do since i was a little boy is to drive a Routemaster. One ultimate goal in life. Again, ive driven it in the garage. But not on the road!

This enthralling historical narrative of the birth of speculative capitalism in America opens in the 1790s when financial pioneer-turned-confidence-man Andrew Dexter, Jr. created a pyramid scheme founded on real estate speculation and the greed of banks, who freely printed the paper money he needed to finance the then tallest building in the United States—the Exchange Coffee House, a 153-room, seven-story colossus in downtown Boston. The story of Dexter’s rise and eventual collapse offered an object lesson to the rising young nation, and presents striking parallels to the subprime mortgage meltdown and looming economic collapse of today.
This project is my speculation about presumable existence of parallel universes. The universe is infinite, but there is only limited amount of particles everything is made of. That means, that any combination of limited amount of participles will repeat again. Theory of hyperspace says, that our universe is just one small bubble in the foam full of bubbles.What if somewhere there, in the depth of infinite universe, exists exactly the same version of me?
