Book Description
This collection of state-of-the-art techniques encompasses the breadth of neurochemical and molecular neurobiology research, ranging from the isolation of neuronal genes and the study of their expression to the analysis of receptor-ligand interactions, to the characterization of the consequences of receptor activation. The methods include electrophysiological techniques to explore the functional properties of receptors present in the membranes of excitable cells, methods to isolate novel genes central to neurobiological processes, and protocols to perform in situ hybridization histochemistry. Other methods cover measuring changes in gene expression, the rapid identification of gene polymorphisms, and the identification and characterization of second messenger pathways.
Together with its companion volumes, In Vivo Neuromethods and Cell Neurobiology Techniques, all three cutting-edge works will prove exceptionally useful to those basic and clinical neuroscientists who want to expand the range of their current research or develop competence in complementary methods.

Book Description
You Can Quote Me On That isn’t about the polite, country-club sport where players shake hands over the net and offer congratulations on a fine drop shot. It views tennis from inside, where competition is grueling, tempers flare, and egos collide. Top tennis journalist Paul Fein has compiled hundreds of the most outrageous, most significant, and most illuminating quotes on, by, and about tennis’s biggest stars and hottest controversies.
You want smack talk? How about Maria Sharapova brushing aside an intended compliment with “I’m not the next Kournikova—I want to win matches!†Wonder why Jimmy Connors was such a cutthroat? According to his mother, “Jimmy was taught to be a tiger on the court. When he was young, if I had a shot I could hit down his throat, I did. And I’d say, â€~See, Jimmy, even your mother will do that to you.’†Fein even delves into the gritty detail of players’ personal lives. Witness Andre Agassi’s explanation that “sex doesn’t interfere with your tennis; it’s staying out all night trying to find it that affects your tennis.†And of course legendary bad boy John McEnroe both fires off and gets hits with multiple zingers.
Fein includes quotes of praise, thoughtful commentary, and interesting points about players, tournaments, and the game—where it’s been and where it’s headed. If it’s about tennis and worth remembering, well, You Can Quote Me On That.

Tennis History and Wisdom in a Fun-filled Package.......2007-02-04
Paul Fein's "You Can Quote Me On That" isn't a classic page-turner, full of mystery, plot and intrigue. It's just what it sounds like--a collection of quotes about tennis.
Although it consists of 35 chapters, a necessity for organizing the vast material, I still found it difficult to stop when reaching a chapter's conclusion.
Under the chapter entitled "The Feminine Mystique" for example, Fein ends with a quote from Anna Kournikova saying:
"You cannot just be a great tennis player, or just be a beautiful person anymore to succeed in the game. You have to have it all, the talent, the looks, the brains and the drive."
The next chapter, "Paeans To the Champions", starts with this praise for Pete Sampras from Jim Courier:
"He can hit shots the rest of us can't hit and don't even think of hitting."
And then continues as Becker, Agassi, McEnroe and Emerson assess Pete's standing in the tennis pantheon.
What makes the book more than a sum of its considerable parts is the sense of history that pervades it. Nineteen twenties star Bill Tilden, who wrote several books on tennis, is quoted regularly, and we hear from Jack Kramer on early professional men's tennis, Bille Jean King on the struggles of the women's tour, Arthur Ashe on the class and race barriers, Martina Navratilova on sexual orientation. Not to mention Gussie Moran's panties and Suzanne Lenglen's rock star status in the 20s.
It?s a whirlwind tour of tennis history in doses as small or large as you like and it's also a reminder that the more tennis changes, the more it stays the same.
I'll close with two of my favorite quotes:
"Under these absurd and antiquated amateur rules, only a wealthy person can compete, and the fact of the matter is that only wealthy people do compete. Is that fair? Does it advance the sport? Does it makes tennis more popular? or does it tend to suppress and hinder an enormous amount of tennis talent lying dormant in the bodies of young men and women whose names are not in the social register."
and
"Certainly there does not appear to be anything much wrong with the game of tennis itself, although proposals for changing it always are with us. There has been little change since the rules were settled upon and possibly improvement can be had by changing some rules, but a game so stylized as tennis should be treated with great restraint. One of the things wrong may be that so many people keep trying to alter it to suit other people who do not really play it."
The first quote is from Suzanne Lenglen, circa 1920s; the second from Al Laney in 1968.
Paul Fein Quips, Quotes and Zings His Way To A Great Book.......2006-12-12
This is one great book! Paul Fein's You Can Quote Me On That: Greatest Tennis Quips, Insights And Zingers is one of the most unique tennis books ever published. Why? It's virtually the tennis Smithsonian of insights into the minds of players, coaches, officials, the media, administrators, the intelligencia and others from the world of tennis.
Want to know what your favorite tennis star is thinking about on and off the court? It's here. Want to know what the media think about the players? Check it out. Want to know what the tennis world is talking about? Read on.
I was really excited to get my copy because as Founder and President of the International Mental Game Coaching Association (IMGCA), I am always searching for new quotes on sports psychology that I can put in our members articles, training programs and our IMGCA Certification programs.
This book is loaded with 1700 quotes ranging over 35 chapters from tennis stars, legends, champions, celebrities, also-rans and the rest of the world's tennis denizens.
Try finding all these quotes yourself, from the hundreds of sources that Paul used in constructing this masterpiece. You would have to work for years to capture all the wonderful tennis quotes in this compendium. Come to think of it, that's probably exactly what Paul did in writing this book!
You Can Quote Me On That is the perfect gift for the tennis lovers in your life.
Tons of entertaining quotes from tennis greats!.......2006-03-08
You Can Quote me on That by Paul Fein is loaded with entertaining quotes from all the great tennis players, many of their coaches, their families, and even other celebrities. From the Foreword by Billie Jean King in which she states " No one and nothing is spared", to the 35 chapters dealing with various topics such as #6.-The Fame Game, and #15. - You've Come A Long Way, Baby!, I was hooked. The quotes are quick and easy to read, with remarkable documentation of who said what to whom and when. I especially liked the nasty comments between John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl--i.e. "I've got more talent in my pinkie than Lendl has in his whole body."--John McEnroe.(so politically incorrect these days!). Arthur Ashe's 1970 quote that "Women's tennis won't draw flies.", couldn't have been more wrong, surprisingly coming from one of the greatest endorsers of the game. But my favorite quote, coming from Martina Hingis is "I like everything about tennis; the games, the courts, the competition, and doing everything you can to win. It's such a beautiful sport." Anyone who enjoys playing tennis, watching tennis, or hearing about the good and bad boys and girls of tennis will truly enjoy this book.
That's Entertainment!.......2006-01-03
Paul's books never disappoint! The inside information, entertaining anecdotes and insights which his books provide make them a must read for every tennis fan and player. His books make a great gift for every tennis lover.
A book you will enjoy a lot.......2005-11-20
In the foreword, Billie Jean King writes, "You Can Quote Me on That" contains hundreds of funny, informative, and provocative quotes by and about present and past stars on 35 different topics. No one and nothing is spared." I agree completely! I'm a big tennis fan, and I had never heard or read 80 percent of these quotes before.
For example in "The Fame Game" chapter, I loved Patrick Rafter's quote on the paradox of fame -- "When you haven't got it, you really want it; when you have it, you really don't want it." In "The Ego Has Landed" chapter, the late Vitas Gerulaitis, a legendary playboy, bragged, "If I did as well on the court as I do off the court, I'd be No. 1 by now." Talk about bad predictions. After 17-year-old Chrissie Evert reached the 1972 U.S. Open semifinals, Billie Jean King criticized her two-handed backhand, saying "It shouldn't be taught to kids. The trouble with it is that it establishes a weakness." Hey, tell that to Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg, Monica Seles and Andre Agassi.
This is definitely a fascinating book. Get it for yourself and your tennis friends. They'll really appreciate it.

Customer Reviews:
Indispensable!.......2002-08-19
This is my new favorite book! It's a little thin paperback, and that's the best thing about it: no lengthy discussions of arcane grammar. This book is just what you need to know. If you're writing and you have a question, you can look up the answer in seconds. Spell check and grammar check only go so far; they can't tell you whether to capitalize "than" in a title, or whether to leave one or two spaces between sentences. I consider myself to be a good writer, but even I get confused. ("Red, blue, and green" or "red, blue and green"?) Since my job involves writing endorsements that are read by the entire company, I can't afford to look stupid. Strunk and White's style manual is great if you want a course in writing, but if you're looking for quick reference, How to Say It is the new standard. I highly recommend it.
FURTHER EXCELLENCE IN WORDS!.......2002-05-12
I have had the opportunity to read a number of this author's Quotation books, as well as her books giving advice on letter writing and on Non-sexist Wordfinding. In short, she is terrifically knowledgeable, and her writing style is vibrant and entertaining! I highly recommend this new book, and any of her older books, too.
In particular, The New Beacon Book of Quotations by Women, Quotations for the Soul, and Quotations on Love are well worth owning. Rosalie Maggio has gradually developed a vast collection of information about words and their uses, and she does a fine job sharing that knowledge so we can all be better writers and readers.

Customer Reviews:
Wonderful book, Great Photographs.......2005-11-06
The book is filled with so many colorful photographs and is so descriptive. It helped my daughter identify what kind of cat her grandma owns. Wonderful book!!
helps me appreciate my cats.......2005-05-02
I have always been a big fan of "mutt" cats (although I have some mutts and some purebreds) but seeing these pictures and reading the personality traits makes me see the interest in purebred cats and a bit into the mind of the "fancier".
I think the photography sells this book. I'm surprised to read another reviewer call them "dreadful reproductions" when I find the work of Tetsu Yamazaki amazing. I bought this book because the pictures of the sphynx cats was so understanding of them and made them look so appealing and cuddly- I just wanted to own those pictures. Sphynx are often called "hairless" and the author makes clear that they are not hairless but are downy, and acknowledges that many people fail to see their charm on first meeting.
this is more of a reference or browsing type book so I haven't read it in it's entirety, but the writing is clear and informative. the illustrations are helpful and the charting of color and pattern reference is easy to follow. I'm not sure who needs this book but it's certainly a lot of fun to have.
Gorgeous pictures, lots about color genetics .......2004-09-02
Although I think that some of the genetics stuff was edited between editions (cover photos changed), the type was certainly reset.
Beware....the pictures have been used in a bunch of other books--dreadful reproductions which made me wonder if they had just been scanned and stolen.
In this, the real book, the pictures are wonderful, good quality, lots of character and life even if they were taken on white seamless paper. One of the really nice things about them is that not all the cats pictured are super-young, there are a few five-year-olds among them.
One of the few things I've seen that made me want to have purebred cats.
Breathtaking Collection of Writing and Photographs.......2001-06-26
"Legacy of the Cat" is a must for each and every cat fancier. Not only do the photographs portray the breeds accurately, the writing by Gloria Stephens explains, enlightens, inspires, and furthers knowledge of the different breeds.
"Thumbs Up" from one who is "lukewarm" on cats.......2000-05-23
Okay, let me admit up front that I am much more a dog-person than a cat-person. Even so, this book is a real treat for anyone who is even mildly interested in the feline world. The photographs are presented on white backgrounds, and while this approach sometimes creates a "stiff" appearance, that is NOT true in this case. Photographer Tetsu Yamazaki captures cats in all their focused alertness, grace, playfulness, and dare I say... beauty. A photo of a silver Egyptian Mau, crouched and demonstrating that not a single muscle is without purpose, typifies the excellent presentation work in this book.
The organization of the book is clear, with an introductory section that depicts, with a photographic chart, how the different breeds are organized. Descriptions often present some historical facts about breeds that are of real interest.
If you are a cat lover, you will most likely fall "in love" with this book. If you do not fancy cats as pets, and indeed never wish to own one, you may very well still find this book to be fascinating. You may tell yourself that, thank goodness, these "cats" never jump on tables or knock things off shelves... or do they?

Spirituality & the cat.......2006-08-02
My cat-people friends are FLIPPING out over this book; photos of heaven for cat lovers. From pagan cattitudes to sufi dhikr-purrs, a divine celebration of the feline. How felicitous! Lucky Lorraine, too, to have landed what has to be one of the last essays of the late Dr Annemarie Schimmel (may she rest in mercy), and such an essay of sweet profundity, all about the place of love for cats in Islam: Hadiths on kittens, cat-loving Egyptians, these are a few of her favorite things.
For anyone who has looked into the mystery of a cat's eyes.......2001-06-07
Cats Of Cairo: Egypt's Enduring Legacy is a splendidly presented photographic presentation and testament to the savvy, street-smart felines of Cairo and the result of photographer Lorraine Chittock's seven year residence in this fabled Egyptian city. Here we see intimate portraits of these predatory survivors augmented with quotes derived from a spectrum of historical and modern sources tracing the timeless connection between people and cats in a never ending cycle of life. Cats Of Cairo is a fitting testament and "must" reading for anyone who has ever looked into the mystery of a cat's eyes, watched the stalking of a perfect predator, or felt purring vibrations under a caressing stroke.

Book Description
Nathan's Spiritual Legacy, Fred, is the third humorous adult parable in the Nathan Trilogy, which began with the 1997 publication of Nathan, The Spiritual Journey of an Uncommon Cat. Laugh your way to emotional good health and spirituality with Fred, the newest troubled but teachable tom who's motto is "Never Let Them See You Shed."
In this highly nutritional, easily digestible supplement for the soul, Nathan and Bob continue Fred's "life" lessons, as the kitten learns (the hard way) that he needs his peers in order to deal with day-to-day problems as well as old family issues. Headstrong and self-centered in the extreme, Fred learns that while he's judging himself based on his intentions, others are judging him based on his actions.
When Fred finally puts into practice some of the kindness he's learned, he helps rescue a cage full of bunny rabbits, earmarked for ethnic cleansing, and brings the smallest one home to live. Fred learns what spirituality is all about from his family and his relationship with this bunny, little br, (short for small bunny rabbit), while Nathan's life comes full circle as a result of teaching br what he learned from his original mentor, BR, who'd been incarcerated across the street for sex offenses.
In Nathan's Spiritual Legacy, FRED, this newest tomcat learns:
Anger, resentment and fear are all related. Anger is a result of not getting what I want today, resentment is a result of not getting what I wanted yesterday, and fear is a result of thinking I won't get what I want tomorrow.
Old behavior isn't 'old,' if you are still doing it.
Instead of letting life affect your attitude, make your attitude affect your life.
When your tail is on fire, recognize whether it's a result of self-immolation, arson or natural combustion.
We don't see things the way they are; we see things the way we are.
A God small enough for you to understand isn't big enough to do His job.
God isn't worried about your ability or inability, only about your availability.
Determination is having a strong will; obstinacy is having a strong won't .
We should measure our lives by their depth, not by their length.
You can tell you're on the right path when it's going uphill

Book Description
At the core of Scripture and Knowledge lies the problem of the nature of religious knowledge. The author argues that religion is a particular framework rather than a particular content or defined set of performances. He sees this framework as epistemological, that is, as one that furnishes believers with a conception of knowledge alternative to that of philosophical reasoning. The thesis on the epistemological nature of religion will be developed by the examination of the concept of scripture as a body of authoritative and even infallible texts. The concept of scripture is presented as one of the constitutive concepts of the epistemological framework of religion. The author argues that the various scriptures and their commentaries should be understood as the arena within which the epistemological process of religion takes place and the central epistemological means by which religious knowledge is made possible.

A good biography about O.J. Simpson.......2001-05-31
After reading this book, I know more about O.J.'s childhood and career before the infamous murders occured. It is very informative about his days as a football star and an actor. However, I was expecting more about O.J.'s relationship with Nicole. I also did not like the way the book ended. It left you wondering whether or not O.J. is guilty. I really recommend this book if you want to know about O.J. and his rise to fame. I recommend "Raging Heart" by Sheila Weller for an intimate look at the relationship between O.J. and Nicole. Overall, it was a good book.
