Book Description
There's a serpent loose in Nina's garden ...
Nina Colette Ceceri Quinn's business, Taken by Surprise -- a landscaping firm specializing in surprise garden makeovers -- is the only thing in her life that seems to be thriving. Her marriage to adulterous police detective Kevin Quinn has wilted. Her antisocial stepson Riley is spreading trouble around like pungent manure. Even her gardening tools are disappearing, including a rather valuable set of hoes.
Worst of all, the delightful old man who first introduced her to the joys of horticulture is dead -- and not by natural causes. Something evil has taken root in Nina's Ohio small town, and the local police -- including dearly unbeloved Kev -- are baffled. But it's amazing what a resourceful gardener can dig up when she puts her mind to it -- though, by sticking her hands too deeply into this fetid, fertile soil, Nina might well end up planted beneath her own petunias.

a great start.......2007-06-27
This was a pleasant little find, great characters and some funny moments kept me flying through this book. My favorite series include; Kate Shugak Series, Eve Dallas series, Lacey Smithsonian, uhmm, can't remember the character but the author is Kate White. Anyway, that is just to give you an idea of what I like....but if you do go for A Hoe Lot of Trouble, I think it is a fun easy read.
Funny Debut!.......2006-06-07
In the 1st book in the Nina Quinn Mystery series, we meet Nina, owner of Taken by Surprise, a horticulture business that does surprise makeovers to landscapes. Nina has recently discovered that her detective husband has been cheating with his female partner, and she struggles to keep a brave front and to be a parent to her stepson, Riley. Leaving Riley in her care, her soon-to-be ex, Kevin, decides that he does not have enough time to be a parent and puts the responsibility on Nina. As Riley is going through teenage rebellion (including the Goth look and multi-colored hair), and in the midst of a crumbling marriage, Nina tries to keep it together for Riley.
In the midst of this chaos, Nina is approached by an old friend who informs her that strange things have been happening on her in-law's farm. Her father-in-law, Farmer Joe, has been found dead and everyone assumes that it was natural causes since he was dying of cancer. However, a thermos containing poison was found near the body, and then disappeared on the way to the police lab. A shooting occurs on the property, and threats and hang up calls keep the family on edge. Nina quickly learns that the family's land is extremely valuable to a local developer, and it appears as though they will stop at nothing to acquire it. As the mystery unfolds, Nina must undercover the real truth while dodging bullets, locating a missing pet snake, and trying to keep Riley out of the local gang at school.
This book was laugh out loud funny at times. I loved the quirky character of Nina, and her determination in the face of adversity. (The part where she beats her ex with a hockey stick was priceless!) The mystery had me guessing until the end, and I was glad to see that Nina did not rely on her ex for "inside" information from the police like happens in many cozies. This is a refreshing, fun series!
The next book in the series is called "Trouble in Spades". Enjoy!
This Great Debut Mystery is a Hoe Lot of Fun.......2006-04-06
"A Hoe Lot of Trouble" introduces us to a wonderfully funny new mystery series starring Nina Quinn, professional landscaper. Nina owns a landscaping firm called "Taken by Surprise" which specializes in surprise garden makeovers that are completed in one day. (Think Home and Garden TV). In this opening installment, Nina is in the process of divorcing her philandering husband Kevin Quinn, a police detective in their small town of Freedom, Ohio. The mystery begins when Nina agrees to help her best friend Bridget by looking into the death of her father-in-law, Farmer Joe Sandowski. Add to these problems a series of equipment thefts from her business and trouble with her teen-aged stepson, and Nina certainly has her hands full!
Author Webber does a great job of developing the characters of Riley, Nina' stepson, and other members of Nina's family. The story is full of humor and the characters are real and likable.
I'm so glad to have discovered this new mystery series and am looking forward to reading more of Nina's hilarious adventures.

A story of mystery and adventure that keeps you reading.......2006-08-21
"The Traitor And the Chalice" is the 2nd installment of the Lyremouth series. In Book One "The Exile & the Sorcerer" introduces two main characters Tevi & Jemeryl and how they encounter. The main mystery is that chalice and finding it is Tevi's "quest". Who brought it to Storenseg, Tevi's home island? Why stole it? To where? And who stole it? This first book tells us how Tevi got herself into this quest and answers these questions except the last one, which is uncovered in the this installment, "The Traitor and the Chalice".
In Book Two Tevi & Jemeryl work together, without any backup, to solve the puzzle and to find the traitor who not only store the chalice from Tevi's homeland but also engaged in several deaths. They have no idea what kinds of dangers and troubles they'll face during their investigation and chase. In the land where the ability of performing magic sets the difference among people, it isn't easy for them, especially Tevi, to work and be together. But we can see how they overcome the troubles, albeit some compromise, without losing their faith with each other.
Jane Fletcher has done a good job to bring both mystery and adventure together in one story. She keeps us suspended during the reading of how they find out the traitor and set for the hunt. For this series, it is probably better to read the first two books in order if you want to have better understanding about some questions mentioned above (I think the 3rd one is not connected to the chalice). However, Jane has crafted her works such that you can pick up any book to read and still can catch up the story without too much difficulty.
No matter whether you read the speculative fictions or not, you should try Jane's works. If you have read the book one, you shouldn't miss this one. If you haven't, it's not too late to pick it up, especially that now you can read these two one by one without the wait.

The works of neurologist Oliver Sacks have a special place in the swarm of mind-brain studies. He has done as much as anyone to make nonspecialists aware of how much diversity gets lumped under the heading of "the human mind."
The stories in An Anthropologist on Mars are medical case reports not unlike the classic tales of Berton Roueché in The Medical Detectives. Sacks's stories are of "differently brained" people, and they have the intrinsic human interest that spurred his book Awakenings to be re-created as a Robin Williams movie.
The title story in Anthropologist is that of autistic Temple Grandin, whose own book Thinking in Pictures gives her version of how she feels--as unlike other humans as a cow or a Martian. The other minds Sacks describes are equally remarkable: a surgeon with Tourette's syndrome, a painter who loses color vision, a blind man given the ambiguous gift of sight, artists with memories that overwhelm "real life," the autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire, and a man with memory damage for whom it is always 1968.
Oliver Sacks is the Carl Sagan or Stephen Jay Gould of his field; his books are true classics of medical writing, of the breadth of human mentality, and of the inner lives of the disabled. --Mary Ellen Curtin
Book Description
To these seven narratives of neurological disorder Dr. Sacks brings the same humanity, poetic observation, and infectious sense of wonder that are apparent in his bestsellers Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. These men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality.
Customer Reviews:
An Anthropologist on Mars.......2007-03-08
If you are interested at all in brain research, you will find this book fascinating.
The author celebrates the human strength to overcome disabilities and the true creative drive that may be buried in each of us. I highly recommend this book for learning and also for inspiration.
Brilliant, But Blind To Childhood And Prenatal Emotional Trauma.......2006-12-17
Although I don't agree with many of Oliver Sacks's conclusions, I found this fascinating book a worthwhile read. It is packed with superior case material - and largely presented in a very readable format (and unlike in some of his other books, he reins in his footnotes!). Some of the chapters, like "Prodigies" or "An Anthropologist On Mars" or "To See Or Not To See," are downright brilliant and provide wonderful and unusual insights into the workings of the human brain - and the universals of human experience. Other chapters (such as "The Colorblind Painter" and "The Landscape Of His Dreams") are weak and drag on, rehashing the same relatively minute points ad nauseum.
Overall, however, Sacks's main weakness is his lack of understanding of emotions, particularly the emotional dynamics between parents and children. He does occasionally wax eloquent about emotional states and spirituality, but this comes across more as an intellectualization of emotions than a truly deep grasp of them. He has little respect for their power to mold neurological development, and sidesteps his own data that point in this direction. To me this is shoddy science, and he failed to convince me of his foregone conclusion that disorders like autism and Tourette's syndrome are neurological in origin.
In his chapter on Tourette's, Sacks presents a surgeon who appears to be acting out a huge degree of repressed hostility through his unconsciously motivated peculiarities. Sacks even opens the door a crack into why the surgeon might do it - that he was adopted and painfully isolated as a child, and it's not hard to speculate that he might be totally enraged at his rotten lot in early childhood life, and yet unable to express this appropriate anger through healthy avenues of expression, because that would only earn him MORE rejection. So instead (my gut tells me, though I lack the data to take it further) he acted it out through Tourette's. But Sacks never touches this one with a ten foot pole, or even speculates as to this possibility, and instead just idealizes this man for his bizarre outbursts, his violence, his hostility toward his own children, his terrible boundaries, and his occasional ability to rein in his symptoms and function super-normally. Had the surgeon not been so high functioning, and people not put up with his oddness and general offensiveness, I highly doubt Sacks would be putting him on such a pedestal.
But I really question Sacks's confidence in stating that autism has nothing to do with childhood trauma. My gut tells me that at least some autistic children were emotionally traumatized in early childhood or in the womb, and were reacting on a primal level to their mothers' emotional pathology. Every fetus reacts to maternal emotional pathology - and emotional health - at some level, and I feel the autistic response is just an ultra-extreme one, like the crème de la crème of a schizoid response, so much so that the parts of the fetal brain that develop healthy emotional relating and expression and self-reflection become stunted or dead. My viewpoint might be difficult to prove, but I see it as less difficult to prove than Sacks's neurological etiology, which he defends in the most convenient way of all - by not even considering any opposing points of view.
But in a world hell-bent on minimizing the blame on mothers for their children's problems, it makes sense why Sacks can get away with turning such a blind eye.
the mind is fascinating .......2006-12-09
on the whole i'd say the book was very good. i agree with previous reviewers that some chapters were more interesting than others, but all were well written and really described the situations beyond the hard science. i liked that he didnt delve too far in to explaining why patients behaved the way they did, i.e., didnt go on and on about dysfunctional neurons and brain injuries. it was neat to see that dr sacks stayed in contact with the people he wrote about/studied and to see their progression or regression.
An Awesome Romp Through the Pluriverse........2006-07-27
"Anthropologist on Mars" begins with a quote by geneticist J.B.S. Haldane - a quote that so beautifullly sums up the book's aim as to bear repeating:
"The universe is not only queerer than we imagine, but queerer than we can imagine."
Oliver Sacks's seven paradoxical tales aim at showing us just that. We are offered a mere glimpse of the neurological pluriverse and, in so witnessing, become able to appreciate just how 'queer' human nature can be.
Other reviewers have gone into great detail about the outline of each story, so I will leave that to them. What I wish to point out to prospective readers is Sack's ability, through his tales, to make the ordinary things about our brains that we take for granted, appear unique, fragile, and more special than we might have thought.
For instance, we witness two stories dealing with sight. First, we explore the case of a painter who loses ALL sense of color late in life. We also see its opposite - a blind man given sight late in life.
In the first case, we get a real sense of how integral the sense of color is for life. We watch this man describe how the world becomes infinitely duller and less interesting when all one can see is shades of gray. He is driven almost to suicide! In the next tale, we see how astonishingly hard it is to 'learn to see' and all the things the brain must do to achieve this (which becomes all the harder the older one is).
We also meet some folks who are autistic and, as such, lack the social instincts and abstraction that we who have them take for granted. Imagine, if you can, having to learn social rules (such things as body language, vocal inflection, and sense of humor) like one would learn algebra - not instinctually, but intellectually. And imagine being mystified by ideas like romantic love and the beauty of music. Temple Grandin - in the final of Sacks tales - shows us what this is like.
Through all of this, Sacks takes on the role not only of a neurologist and story teller, but of a philosopher. The philosopher takes the ordinary and puts it under a microscope to show us how breath-taking it really is. Just because most of us - the impaired call us neurotypicals - have brains that smoothly operate thus and so, does not mean that we all do. Some, like Virgil, have to work hard at seeing such basic things as 2D represntations of 3D objects. Others, like Temple Grandin, have to work at understanding the idea of sociality.
All in all, this is a stunning book that will make you think and marvel. Dare I say, if you are like me, you will never look at the human brain with quite the same lens as you did before.
Second the motion Broadening our sense of the 'human'.......2006-01-12
I recommend Dennis Littrell's review of this book on this site.He outlines clearly what the book is about, and gives us the basic story of each of the seven chapters, the seven cases that make up the book. He headlines his review 'extraordinary genius' and I share this feeling about Oliver Sachs.
What I find most remarkable about Sachs' work is his ability to patiently study, and work to help people who seem lost completely. Instead of being as most of us are repelled by these kind of often 'freakish abnormalities ' Sachs in studying the people and recounting their cases , makes their stories 'human'. He extends in a certain way our conception of what the human is, and increases our sense of how remarkable the human mind is.
He is also a most moving author whose human sympathy and compassion inspire.

Customer Reviews:
Slurp!.......2007-01-23
In my opinion, the noodle is genius. It's fun to eat and takes on the flavor of whatever you put it in. This recipe collection really capitalizes on the variety of ways noodles are using in Asian cooking including recipes for things like Crispy Shrimp Balls, right alongside noodle soups like Udon. Every recipe in this collection is delicious and the pictures are beautiful. The clean design of the book makes it modern enough for a trendy coffee table. The reference guides for noodles are an added bonus. I will never get tired of his cookbook.
Thank you Ms. Simonds!
Easy and Flavorful.......2006-08-03
I picked it up since I love Asian noodle dishes but have no Asian cookbooks and I haven't been disappointed yet. If you keep the staples around, it is so easy to pick up a few vegetable & protein items and throw together a tasty meal. I have made about 5 of the recipes so far and they've been delicious and satisfying, plus it's easy to improvise or make substutions based on availability of ingredients or preferences. The sauce:noodle ratio is perfect everytime. The recipes are economical and make nice leftovers! I also rate the book highly for design - it's very clean, modern, and easy to use, with close-up photos.
Excellent.......2006-06-18
I bought this book because I adore Asian noodle dishes and I'm also usually pressed for time. I agree that the recipes may appear almost too Americanized when reading the ingredients, but always turn out wonderfully. I own many cookbooks but have found myself cooking from this one often.
This is one of those rare books that you'll use over and over!.......2005-12-03
I don't usually hype cookbooks. However, this one is terrific for anyone who loves Asian food, but doesn't have a Thai or Vietnamese place right around the corner. The recipes are clearly written, and use ingredients that most decent supermarkets carry. My family has loved every dish I've made from this book: soups, salads, spring rolls, you name it. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made, and I have hundreds of cookbooks.
Waste of money.......2005-02-09
If you like recipes that don't work, sauces that don't thicken, then this is the book for you. It's a collection of poorly written recipes that I would recommend you don't waste your money on.
If you're serious about Asian cooking, don't waste your time or money with this book.

The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog.......2001-12-05
The book was very informative. This is a very complex and little-known breed. People need to be aware of what they are getting into when bringing a Catahoula into a suburban environment. This book was very helpful and straightforward. My Cindy is only 4 months old and is already exhibiting some of the traits pointed out by Mr. Abney. Consistency and persistence are very important when training this breed.
The definition of "Dog"........2001-02-17
Finally, a book that discusses this wonderful dog. I adopted a stray dog 12 years ago. I did not know what kind of dog he was, but he was different from all the other dogs I have owned. My vet informed me that he is a Catahoula. He has been my companion ever since. I have been looking for someing more about this great breed and this book answered many questions about my dog, from why he has glass eyes to his need to please. My Catahoula was diagnosed with liver cancer recently, and has about six months left. If someone looked up the word "dog" in the dictionary, there should be a photo of a Catahoula. They are truly great dogs. Thanks for the great read!!
I wish there was a part two!.......2000-05-15
I recently adopted an 'unknown breed' dog from a no-kill shelter. While at the Grand Canyon last month, a tourist from Louisiana introduced himself, identified my dog as a Catahoula and gave an overview of the history...naturally I went home, checked the web, and confirmed his background. It has now become a hobby finding more and more information about this fantastic breed. Don Abney's book was a great foundation of knowledge for understanding our new family member and also having fascinating background history to tell my friends/family. All I could ask for is more pictures (color) and a list of reputable breeders/clubs...other than that I highly recommend this book! Thanks Don....
A must to read.......2000-04-26
I was pleased to find this book. I've only seen one other that showed the catahoula. This book is a must read if you are thinking about getting a catahoula. It tell's you just like it is. The catahoula is a wonderful breed and a joy to own if you give them the time and exercise they require.
Very Informative.......2000-02-27
As a first time Catahoula owner, I found this book invaluable. There isn't a lot of information available on the breed (compared to others) and after reading the book I felt I had a better understanding of my dog. Mr. Abney covers a wide variety of topics including healh, breeding, and history. The section I found most helpful was the section on breed traits. The pictures are wonderful, even though they're black and white. Your Catahoula will thank you for reading this book!

Exceptional Visual Reference Book - A must for FB Collectors.......2000-05-17
This is probably one of the best Flow Blue reference books that I have seen. The photography is exceptional.
While the focus is primarily on several patterns, the assortment of pieces (shapes) shown will certaily be of interest to both the serious and novice collector alike. You will find strange and unusual pieces shown be it a cake plate, syrup pitcher, mug, egg cups, etc. If you're a collector you've probably got a piece that you not sure what is was used for! If so, you'll probably find it (or something similar) here -there is certainly an amazing variety shown!
For those who love Flow Blue this book is an absolute must!

sucks.......2005-09-12
I have not received the book. Amazon had billed an old/closed credit card account and had for a shipping address an old address. Your company would not pick up the updated/new information...I had tried calling your company to update my address/credit card account w/no help from you nor Amazon.
Republish this book!.......2005-03-03
Like others, I call to the publisher and to the author of this book to bring it back to the public. I have a 1992 copyrighted version of this book and it has become a "bible" of sorts for many projects. Put this back on the market again!
I have made many a projects from the pattern stitches and with the diagrams and symbols used in this book, I can easily look and decide if it will work for the project at hand.
In short, this book needs to be republished and those that can get their hands on it or already have it, don't let it go. It's one of the most comprehensive pattern stitch books that I have ever seen.
Best Crochet Book Ever.......2002-10-07
After reading a library copy of this book, I knew this was a MUST HAVE book ! The publisher needs to definitely do a reprint of this book, as I know that there are many others that would love to have a copy of it for themselves ! It is a valuable asset for any crocheter- beginner or advanced ! It show us crocheters many different types of stitches that most of us would never think of trying otherwise and in an easy to understand format.
MOUNTFORD! Please find another publisher! I need a copy!.......2000-05-07
Craftspeople, we need to do something. Everyone who sees Mountford's book wants a copy. Let's write letters to the publisher--or find the publisher's web page and email them--or something! Nowhere else have I seen a book so clear about the steps to be followed in working a stitch. Never before have I seen directions for so many different stitches in one book. The photos and drawings are the most clear and helpful I have seen in 25 years of crocheting. Beginners, intermediates, and masters of crochet are all well served by this book, but none of us seems able to get a copy of it!
Mountford also has a guide to knitting, of which I have always been afraid because of the difficulties I have had each time I've tried to knit, but I can't seem to find a copy of that book, either. I just know I could learn to knit if I had that book.
If anybody out there in this wide, wide, electronically connected world knows why the publisher isn't coming out with other editions of these wondrous books, would you please let me know so that I can lay my knitting ambitions to rest? Many thanks.
Good luck to us all.
The Harmony Guide to Crocheting; Techniques and Stitches.......2000-04-05
I borrowed this book from a friend and enjoyed it so much that I didn't want to give it back. However, all good things come to and end. I am currently looking for this book and would love to have it in my collection. If you have any information to help me in finding a copy for myself please contact me. The graphics and organization of the book as a whole are just absolutely fabulous. It's easy to follow and the ultimate teachers guide to crocheting. So please let me know if you can find me a copy.

A moving & inspirational biography.......1999-01-07
Dr. LeRoy Walker has been referred to as an American Hero and after reading his story, I can fully agree. His story is about overcoming politics, poverty, and racism to eventually become the President of the U.S. Olympic Committee. His Olympic Journey was a remarkable triumph and one I'll always remember. Great book!
