Every mouse wife has a man,but Miss.Gary had one.But then he dead of a mousetrap,the next one dead of a cat,the last one dead of poison! Miss.Gray also had three children and she swore that the trins, the three children, will destroy the famer and the cats.

One day Kevin, an outside mouse,was token into the house,but he got away! The trins then found him and toke him to their home. there he saw Miss.Gray.

So if you want to now what happens nexts read The Terreible Trins.

I like this book from the very first page.Mrs. Gray,a widow has given birth to 20 mice.Wow! That's a lot.From her first husband,Mr. Brown,7 and from the next one,Mr. Black,10 more and her deceased husband,3.The rest of her children have left their home and are out earning their living.Mrs. Gray teaches her three trins(triplets actually),Henry,Richard and Thomas to be the toughest mice in the house.In the house,the mice are divided into 4 tribes,the Attic(which is at the very top of the house),the Ups(just below),the Downs and the Cellarmice.These 4 clans never gather together and unite.The Terrible Trins(that's what Mrs. Gray calls them)learn a lot of stuff from their mother.She teaches them that unity is strength.The Terrible Trins manage to get rid of the two cats in the house and make the farmer,Farmer Budge goes angry with everything he sees.On the contrary his wife likes all living creatures including mice.When the farmer is not around,she will spring the mouse traps and throw away the poison.But that is not enough.A lot of mice still get trapped.Will The Terrible Trins be able to get rid of the poison and mouse traps and show Farmer Budge that mice aren't as bad as he thinks? I really love this book.It is so exciting,enthralling and lovable.I bet you will rate this one of the best animal book in the world.

In this book three little trins (triplets in mice language) were born from the widow, Mrs. Gray. But Mrs. Gray brainwashes them to become the strongest mice around. They try to outwit two cats....Will this be the last of the trins?

I sell computers as a profession for a prominent retail store. As such, I am expected and asked to give out helpful information to customers and colleagues alike. WIN 98 Optimizing & Troubleshooting provides valuable information for everyone and has helped me do my job to a fuller extent of my capabilites. I recommend this book for beginners and professionals alike. I also recommended it to my associates with whom I work. It is quick, clear, concise, and easily referenced. Two thumbs up!

Being a book lover and a computer buff, it's not always easy to distinguish which grabs me most. But here is a book accomodation that leads by the hand into what otherwise can be a morass of intrigue into a hefty complex world of developing technology. This is a friendly work, it presumes nothing except that the reader wants to learn about what the subject is: Windows 98. For that reason there is a 1-2-3 attitude: do this, then do that, for an expected result. Simple, direct, and with a purpose. Even a dumb-dumb can understand, if you fall down, you pick yourself up. It is called "learning to walk" and the author and editors, the publisher, have made it all possible not only to enjoy reading how-to-do-it, but also by imparting a refreshingly natural style in describing "it's really not that difficult to learn", and proving it. Not only that, the reader will experience instantaneous results, not an experiment into a dark tomb filled with speculation. This book is a must-read for anyone desiring to exploit the hidden benefits of Windows 98, enabling anyone who reads it to smugly acquire an edge on better performance and outstanding accomplishment that makes a difference.

This book has the best format for finding answers quickly. You don't have to read an entire chapter to find the answer. It is easy to understand and covers most of the problems a Win98 user may encounter.

This book is about two best friends called Jeff and Wiley that love to give nicknames to practically everyone they know. But one day a new girl in school arrives, called Cassandra. The boys want to give her a nickname but they don't know what to call her. Soon they start to like her and they want her to invite them to a dance. Jeff and Wiley, who never fought together, started to fight over her. If you want to know who Cassandra asks to the dance, what her nickname will be, and how Jeff and Wiley will solve their problem, then read this book!!!!

I think it was very surprising to find out who Cassandra invites to the dance!!! I tell you, it will be hard to guess!!

I think that this book was very interesting. Yes, it was funny, but not as funny as Gordon Korman's other books, like the Bruno and Boots books(those were really good).Actually, it was not as funny as I thought it would be. Anyways, I gave it four stars because the description was really good. The characters even

seemed like real kids their age. I recommend this book to everyone because it is appropriate for all ages.

The sixth grade nickname game is one of the funniest books I've ever read! The general idea of the book was great, and I would recomend it to anyone that can read. Anyone and everyone should read this book!

The book begins when room 6B gets a new substitute teacher. His name was Mr. Hughes. He acted like a football coach, which he was. Wiley and Jeff A.K.A "The Nicknamers", nicknamed him Mr. Huge. One day a new girl came to their classroom. Her name was Cassandra. They tried to think of a nickname for her, but they couldn't. They made a bet with another guy (Snoopy) to see if all their nicknames could stick. One day Snoopy heard that Mr. Hughes would get fired if they didn't pass the assessment test. So they had a meeting and decided to read and try to do well on the Assessment test. Once they got to know Cassandra, they started to like her. They began to fight over her. They wanted her to take one of them to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. If you want to know who she takes to the dance, who wins the bet with Snoopy, and if Mr. Hughes gets fired, then read this book !!!!!!!

TALES FROM THE BALLPARK is a quick read that contains poignant, funny, sad, and informative stories. All of the tales are short (one or two pages) and cover a wide range of subjects - stories about fans, the minors, umpires, old players and modern players.

If you are looking for an in depth book about baseball, this one isn't for you. But if you just want to be entertained for an evening, I would heartily recommend this book.

This book is very entertaining from start to finish. It's hard to put the book down once you start because the stories in it keep you glued to the book. The first book was great also. I just hope that Mike Shannon has a third installment in the works. There are a few glaring mistakes in the book that I must point out. Shannon refers to current Arizona 1st baseman Greg Colbrunn as "Colburn" and he states that Barry Bonds broke into the majors with the Pirates in '89 wearing number 24 when he actually entered in '86 wearing number 7, since Denny Gonzalez wore 24 back then.

Shannon has done it again. How often do we read baseball anecdote books, only to skip 3/4 of the stories, having already read them elsewhere. Well, it won't happen with Mike Shannon's books! It's clear that solid research has resulted in stories that are always unique and usually hilarious. I loved it, and you will too. Check out Tales From The Dugout, too. you won't be disappointed.

For about two decades we have been hearing that chimpanzees and humans own 98% of their genetic identity. And for the past few years biological determinism seems to be making a comeback. If crude efforts like "The Bell Curve" are properly dismissed, we still find out that everything from alcoholism to homosexuality is determined by genes. News reports argue that by looking at chimpanzees we can find the truth about our own agressive natures. At the same time we hear about identical twins separated at birth, who are in the same professions, have wives and dogs with the same names, and even have the same styled moustaches. Surely, this is proof of the power of nature.

Well, actually no, and it is the value of this book that it shows the weaknesses of this vulgar Darwinism. The book is somewhat repetitive, and readers may find its invocations of eugenics and Social Darwinism both old news and somewhat unnuanced. But in clear accessible language Marks shows the weaknesses of the above propositions. For a start, the famous homosexuality study, which had a number of weaknesses Marks points out, stated that only 5% of whether one was a homosexual could be explained by genetics. This makes sense, since homosexuality in human societies varies widely, being endemic in some societies at some stages in life (like Classical Rome and Greece) to be harshly repressed in others. Likewise the 98% figure is based on one of a variety of ways of measuring our genetic identity, and Marks points out that it was manipulated in such a way so that chimpanzees would appear closer to us than to gorillas. Obviously we and chimpanzees are very close genetically, but how can we tell whether a trait in chimpanzees explains an aspect of human society? The possibilities are that a) it does reflect a common inherent trait of both species b) it reflects a common trait that humans evolved out of or c) it reflects a trait that evolved in chimpanzees after they differentiated from our ancestors. We cannot simply tell by just looking, and without a genetic explanation. As for the identical twins, think about it a little more closely. How could the choice of one's profession, the shape of one's moustache, the name we give our dog, or the name of the person who decides to marry us, possibly be genetically determined. It is too good to be true, and it usually is (more likely the reason is sureptitious contact between the "separated" twins.)

Marks goes on to provide many other interesting asides, such as why black athletes are not "genetically" superior to others. He discusses the strange tale of "Kennewick Man" reported in the media as a Caucasian skeleton that American Indians politically correctly wanted to take away from the scientists who wanted to study it and bury it so it would not refute their beliefs that they were in America first. Marks points out a whole list of problems with this account, starting with the important fact that you cannot tell that a skeleton is "Caucasian" from examining it, and then pointing out a number of other non-sequiturs the scientists used to keep the skeleton from its legal owners. Marks also provides good reasons not to panic over cloning, as well as good reasons not to give apes human rights (simple answer; they're not human). He also points out the long history of "projection" in which scientists saw their own societies reflected in their studies of primates. For people who know little about molecular anthropology, Marks provides a helpful introduction.

What it Means to by 98% Chimpanzee: Apes, People, and Their Genes written by Jonathan Marks is a book with razor-like sharpness and a powerful critique of primatology, comparative anatomy, and molecular anthropology.

This book is a radical reassessment of science as we know it, showing ultimately how it has always been subject to social and political influences and teaching us how to think critically about modern findings. The author does some superb teaching spiced with witty prose making for a rather lively read.

There is some powerful critiquing of reductionist claims about genetics, human behavior, cognitive abilities and racial differences. Reading this book will shed some light on the rather new science called molecular genetics. The author does stray too far and makes the book highly readable and somewhat easy to understand. You may not agree fully with the author's approach, but understanding of the science of human evolution requires an uncluttered mind... an open mind.

This book covers areas of interest ranging from the differences between apes and humans to the biological and behavioral variations expressed in the human species. All in all, this book can and probably will stir up contraversy as the author tries to equate the common ancestry of humans and daffodils, not to mention similarities with the common fruit fly.

For everyone tired of hearing that because apes do a certain thing, that thing must be "natural" to humans, this book is very refreshing. The style is very entertaining, and it explains concepts of genetics in an engaging way. It also discusses the dangers and limitations of science, and exposes molecular biologists who publish their results in popular magazines before their work is accepted to peer-reviewed journals.

Marks argues emphatically for humane treatment of chimpanzees and other primates, but not for giving them human rights. Why? Because they are not human. As Marks says, we can't expect to send a chimp to jail for killing another chimp.

Marks is of the perspective that human culture is the strongest force governing our behavior, not genetics.

Just a bunch of racist tripe.

This is wonderful memoir. Much like in his classes at Fordham, Dr. Naison really brings history alive, reminding us that it is more than what you read about in the typical history book, it is about the people that lived it. He gives his life a powerful, emotional, and thoughful voice. For any current and future Fordham University students, I would highly recommend his classes and this book. For everyone else, buy it and see what you missed out when you decided to attend a different school!

Though it deals with his own personal and unique journey, Naison's book helps us all make sense of what our lives have been like since the 60s. The media would like us to believe that those of us who believe in equality, social justice, a real end to racism, and an alternative to corporate capitalism run amock have all disappeared. My personal experience is just the opposite -- our views haven't changed, and indeed, have become more solidified by events of the last decade.

Whether the passion of the 60s will ever reappear in a new guise is impossible to predict. If if does, I feel privileged in knowing that Mark (and so many of my other friends) will be there, if not on the barricades, at least in providing lunch!

I think that it's a good book for who'd like to begin programming

This book will really teach you C++, it is richly detailed with hundreds of code listings that I was able to type in and compile. It starts very basic and leads up to more complex data structures, classes and objects as well as pointer and references. It is rich and detailed. I really learned usefull c++!

This is one of 3 books that I recommend if you want to learn C and C++. In fact, I think so highly of it that I have had to purchase it several times because I keep giving my copies to friends (who also think highly of it).

Reynolds Price is a brilliant, prize-winning writer, an ancient languages scholar and Christian, apparently. His approach, from the literal translation of two gospels, to the writing of his own, is fresh and eye-opening. Highly recommended to those who choose to look deeper into Christianity and its founding texts.

Reynold Price's translations of Mark and John are good in that they try to transliterate the style and feel of their Greek originals, but truth be told they just don't read as well as the translations to be found in other Bible tranlsations. But Price's commentaries on these two Gospels are the main factor in this book. He utilizes something that's missing from the "detective kits" of most other Biblical scholars: common sense. I've read a great majority of the books on the "Historical Jesus," each of which - as the old saying goes - reveals more about the author than the subject. Instead of going off into groundless supposition, as most other Historical Jesus questors are known to do, Price gives us the evidence that we have and makes common sense conclusions on who wrote the Gospels: when, where, how, and why. He doesn't make any mention of the so-called "Secret" Gospel of Mark, true; but I think this is less Price being unaware of it and more of him just realizing it's a phony and unworthy of mention. Read Akenson's Saint Saul, which brutally brings this forgery to light. Price's extra Gospel, which he wrote himself, is interesting, but ultimately the selling point of this book are his commentaries to the two ancient Gospels themselves.

Ahem.Mr Price is not the Editor. He's the author! (I wonder if any one reads these reviews and notes its contents). Its still a wonderful book, with a fresh new look at the Gospels of Mark and John. And frankly, after reading it, one gets a new perspective of the relationship between God and man. It certainly gave me a stronger foundation and background to the two gospels and an insight into Christ.

This book applies by all circumstances and all field of our life to improve its quality. I would like to pay more attention to the following 5 points of view and learn how to control your bad luck.

1. In charge of host not guest. He says, "Do prepare the things they are never expecting at the meeting. This means surprised something always can enforce the relationship between you and them. Get ready? Go for it. 2. Know about your customer or client first before you let them purchase your produts. Keep listening and watching their body and oral language to understand what they want rather than emphasize your desire. That's the point. This may lead you high performance.

3. Avoid conflicting. Excellent negotiator can be able to endure until right time coming with perseverance to win finally.

4. More listen less speak. Open your ears and close your mouth toward others. It will lead to successful businessmen but difficult to do.

5. Remind the importance of time management Persuade your time or you will be conquered by it. Manage it minute by minute effectively. In this case, we don't need speed. We need depth.

His lesson is still available even though 13 years over from his writing time.

Mr. McCormack reminds us of the fundamentals and basic goals of business in order to succeed and prosper. The book is quite clear and informative. It's the kind of book that you want to share with everyone, but on the other hand keep it to yourself because what you learn from this book will make you appear like a genius. This is a book that everyone from students to business managers and owners should read. It's a quick and easy read with long-lasting practical benefits. It is a must read.

I read McCormack's first book right out of college and use his advice daily. He has a no-nonsense approach to business and understands business is about common sense and relationships. This is an important book that everyone from the recent college graduate to the CEO should read. It is a must read.

If you're a Craig Rice fan, as I am, you'll be pleased by the publication of this book. Whether it's the first or only biography that will ever be written about an author whose work has been egregiously neglected by reprint publishers--to the detriment of the reading public--it furnishes the curious fan with some vital information about a fascinating but very troubled woman whose life was a far cry from the delightfully wacky works she's best remembered for.

So why am I disappointed?

Because a lot of Marks's writing is sloppy and thus confusing, which in turn suggests sloppy editing; and because the proofreader, if one existed, didn't do his or her job very well. Typos abound. Even the page numbers given in the index are incorrect!

Nevertheless, I applaud Marks for his scholarship and dedication to the project. Perhaps his book will spur future biographers to delve more deeply into Rice's life and works. Above all, perhaps it will spur a publisher into reprinting her novels and story collections to reach new readers.

It's nice to see the witty, vital work of Craig Rice finally getting some scholarly attention. Jeffrey Marks has done a thorough job of research, and he deserves praise for untangling such apparently Gordian knots as Rice's real name, the history of her marriages, and her confused publication history. However, his biography is more of a necessary first step than a truly engaging work in itself. While he details the sorrows of Rice's life, he never really shows us why her contemporaries referred to her as funny, bright, and lively. His analysis of her place in the history of her genre is cursory at best (surprisingly, given his knowledge of the field), and he tends to summarize rather than discuss her novels. The book is also quite badly proofread. Nonetheless, he has performed a true service for Rice fans and critics, who I hope will use this book in order to do more analytical work.

Jeffrey Marks does a fairly good job writing about a woman who lived such a hard and bizarre life. Finding details for Craig Rice's life story must have been a real challenge. I am Craig's grand-daughter and I learned more about Craig's life from this book than from conversations with those who knew Craig. The book must have required exhaustive research on Mr. Mark's part. He ties the story of her life together and includes a great deal of information about Craig's novels, her movie scripts and her short stories.
