Book Description
A unique book that integrates knowledge from a wide range of expertise, specifically applied to the mouse, and addressed at a wide audience from those new to the field to experts who want an update on the state of the art. Mouse Genetics and Transgenics: APA covers all aspects of using the mouse as a genetic model organism: care and husbandry; archiving stocks as frozen embryos or sperm; making new mutations by chemical mutagenesis; transgenesis; and gene targetting; mapping mutations and polygenic traits by cytogenetic, genetic, and physical means; and disseminating and researching information via the Internet.
Book Description
Independent Travellers Europe by Rail is a route-based budget travel guide that selects the best rail routes to follow across and around the continent, taking in world-famous cultural centres such as Paris, Rome, and Athens and a selection of the very best scenic and mountain railways. Drawing on the expertise of the Thomas Cook European Timetable for train timings, it describes popular routes with practical travel information, and suggests plenty of route combinations and links to create individual tours.
Customer Reviews:
A tour book more than a rail book.......2006-08-09
This was not what I expected. Rather than a thorough presentation of rail timetables, this book is a touring book. It gives all the usual hotel, sightseeing, etc. information, for selected cities and attractions. The small cities I care about - detailed route maps, connections, schedules, etc. - are not covered. Thomas Cook apparently publishes another book with complete European rail timetables.
Also, the text in this book while readable (I'm 68 years old) is small, and slightly challenging. Information printed as city maps is much too small for me to read.
Awful.......2006-02-04
This book is far from being an inter-railers guide, although it does encourage independant travel as you have to work out everything youerself!
Often misleading information, often flagrently wrong information. And for a book that claims to be an inter railers guide - it misses out Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia. All countries covered by inter-rail tickets.
Bah!
The Best.......2006-02-01
If you're planning to travel through Europe by rail, this book beats all the others hands down. What I found to be most useful is that this book recommends a lot of routes that you can take through several countries--something that is missing in a lot of other travel books. If you're going to travel through Europe by rail, or if you are going to get a Eurail Pass, then you definitely need to pick this up to plan your route.
The only weak point of this book is that it is thin on hotel recommendations. However, hotels can be easily found on the internet, so I don't think that is such a big weakness. Also, there are only a few restaurants that are mentioned, but again, you can get recommendations from the hotel or from locals while you're traveling. Go ahead and grab this book for your trip planning.

Great Series.......2007-08-26
I Love This Entire Series! The author makes history so interesting. I have enjoyed learning U.S. History all over again (more like for the first time) with my kids. Recommend the whole set!
Recommended for ages 8-12...AND EVERYONE ELSE TOO.......2003-11-22
This book is really supposed to be for little kids in elementary school, but I am reading it to understand my U.S. history class in high school, because it conveys our history with such clarity, and doesn't muddle things up like big ol' textbooks. SO BUY THIS NOW!You won't regret it...I wish I could have given this book more than 5 stars.
A time of great hope and incredible change in U.S. history.......2003-08-05
"Reconstructing America 1865-1890," the 7th volume in Joy Hakim's A History of US series, expands the notion of reconstruction, usually applied only to the Southern states of the former Confederacy to include the entire nation. In her preface to the volume Hakim declares "Are We Equal? Are We Kidding?" Her point is to underscore the Declaration of Independence's famous proposition that all men are created equal and to point out that ending slavery does not really free people if they are denied education and jobs. However, while the issue of racial division begins and ends this book, Hakim covers the entire domestic history of the United States in between the Civil War and the rise of the nation as a world power.
This volume does not have a formal structure but you can still find four rather distinction units. The first (Chapters 1-10) talks specifically about Southern Reconstruction and the fight between President Andrew Johnson and Thaddeus Stevens, leader of the Radical Republicans in Congress. The second (Chapters 11-18) tells about the opening of the West and Indians ordered to reservations. The third (Chapters 19-25) contrasts the world of Boss Tweed and Thomas Nast, P.T. Barnum and Mark Twain, with the immigrants who came to both coasts of the country. The fourth (Chapters 26-37) starts with the beginning of the movement towards rights for women and ends with Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois taking on the Jim Crow laws, with the birth of the Industrial Revolution and its patron saint Thomas Alva Edison in between.
As you can see, this is an inelegant division of these 37 chapters at best. But in the second half of the 19th-century of American history lacks the direction of the first, where the nation was hurdling towards Civil War. The idea that America was indeed reconstructing, or remaking itself, makes sense. However, there is no finality to the story at this point because equality between the sexes and the races are still a half and full century away respectively. One sign of the changing focus of history is that George Armstrong Custer and the Battle of the Little Big Horn is literally a marginal topic while the story of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce gets an entire chapter.
These volumes are wonderfully illustrated, with historic photographs, paintings, and in this particular volume political cartoons that help bring the period alive. Throughout the book you will find detailed features on subjects such as the first conservationist, John Wesley Powell, and the Route of the Nez Perce in 1877. As always the margins are crammed with notes, definitions, mini-biographies, and choice quotations. For children raised on computers and the Internet it is clear that Hakim is speaking their language, and for parents home schooling their children they will find Hakim to be an active teacher who anticipates questions and concerns from students even when she is writing and book and they are reading it. This is an excellent series of American history textbooks.
It's Not What You're Probably Thinking..........2003-03-30
When I first saw this book, I expected it to be like the awful textbooks found in schools across the country (the ones you could fall asleep reading), but it was nothing like what I had anticipated it being. Joy Hakim's fabulous writing, and the fun facts and illustrations scattered throughout this book make history seem like an ongoing story. Good for kids and adults alike!
