"Unlike books with a teaching message that eclipse the fun and adventure of a good story, Impatient Pamela and its companion workbook are great reads."The Boston Parents' Paper
Impatient Pamela Says: Learn to Call 9-1-1 is an engaging educational tool. Used alone or with the Impatient Pamela Calls 9-1-1 hardcover book, this practical, sixteen-page workbook teaches children about emergencies, including learning their address and phone number, what is a true emergency, when they should call 9-1-1, and who will come when they call. Includes an introductory letter to parents, certificate of completion, and a child's phone page.

Wedded Strangers: The Challenges of Russian-American Marriages by Lynn Visson, ISBN 0781808324
Russian-American marriages reflect many of the same issues and problems of other inter-cultural marriages, but at the same time face some unique challenges. Since the publication of the first edition of Wedded Strangers in 1998, the number of these mixed couples has soared. Improved relations between the countries have brought hundreds of Russians to the U.S., while Americans continue to travel to Russia for business, study and tourism. Dozens of dating and marriage agencies in the two countries are busy matching Russians with Americans. The Internet, chat rooms, e-mail, and list servers for Russian-American couples and for people seeking spouses have revolutionized romance. Further, the end of the Soviet Union has eased travel restrictions, heartbreak over denied visas, and harassment of these couples.
In response to these factors and to the hundreds of letters, phone calls and e-mails that poured in from couples who read the first edition and wanted to share their own stories, Dr. Visson...

Planet Earth News Presents: Super Humans
Aliens Lurk Under Your Skin! Mummies Swap Bandages for Plastic Wrap! Heads left spinning after the revelations in "Nature Shockers" will spin anew with these true tales of human achievements, eccentricities, and ingenuity. Peering deep into the past -- right down to the first multi-cellular organism -- Keltie Thomas exposes how adaptations over the millennia have made humans the "wise" ones of the animal kingdom. Blending science, history, physiology, and psychology with plenty of wacky humor, "Super Humans" is a child-friendly expose of the wild world of Homo sapiens. Bonus features like "Hoax Buster" quizzes and "Fiction vs. Reality" sidebars add to the fun.

Nerve and Muscle by David J. Aidley, ISBN 0521805848
An understanding of the physiology and function of nerve and muscle is fundamental to our knowledge of how the human body and the bodies of other animals function. In the third edition of this highly readable and concise introductory textbook, the authors begin with a discussion of the nature of nerve impulses as electrical events. They go on to consider communication between nerve cells via synaptic transmission, and finally discuss the nature of muscular contraction, relating muscle cellular structure to contractile function. This is a subject that continues to generate exciting discoveries and this edition includes new material that reflects this, including some of the experimental evidence. The reader will find up-to-date detail of the molecular structure of ion channels and the molecular basis of muscular contraction. Nerve and Muscle is essential reading for all students taking university courses in neurobiology, physiology, cell biology, and preclinical medicine.
