Fun Books!.......2007-05-13

My son at 6 months really was not into books. This series uses small puppets that can be wiggled with each page keeping kids interst. The stories are nothing special but the illustrations are bright and colorful. I have since bought a set as a gift for a friend.

Great and simple.......2007-04-06

What can I say! I work with kids for a living and they love it!

Something to Buzz About.......2002-12-29

Great things do, indeed, sometimes come in small packages, and The Little Book of Bees provides the proof.

Packed into a tightly written book of 150 small pages is a goldmine of information about bees. Despite the rather cute title (one of a series of similarly named books from Copernicus Books), this book is a serious look at the life of bees, written for the non-scientist.

The book opens with an overview of bees and their place in the animal kingdom and throughout earth's history and moves on to:

The bee as an insect, examining its anatomy and abilities
The social life of bees, looking at bees in larger social structures, family associations, within the colony and classification systems

The traits of bees

Solitary bees and their social development (or lack thereof)

Bumblebees and stingless bees

The types of bees and where they fit in, including a look at honeybee language, the development of new hives and sensory abilities.

At all times, the book is intelligently written, easily read by the layman while also offering serious bits of science to those who want to know more. Any reader can learn a lot from this book. For example, I never knew there was such a thing as a stingless bee. Sounds harmless, right? Ha! Here's what author Karl Weiss says about them:

Stingless bees are not defenseless, though....If a curious person comes too close to their nest, he can be badly injured. The disturbed bees hurl themselves at him and bite him in the skin and hair, holding on tightly. In addition, some species spray a sticky, acrid secretion from their mandibular glands into the bite wounds that can leave permanent scars. Thus, fire bees or hair-cutting bees are fitting names for these species."

Hmm, just want you want buzzing around your backyard.
The book contains numerous black-and-white illustrations showing bee anatomy, hive construction, nest development and honeycombs. While none of the illustrations are fancy or colorful, all are worth examination.

Weiss is an entomologist and the director of the Bavarian Beekeeping Institute at Erlangen, Germany. His co-author, entomologist Carlos H. Vergara, is from the Universidad de las Americas, in Puebla, Mexico.

Product Description

Legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Hubert Sumlin, T-Bone Walker, Johnnie Winter, Albert King, Freddie King, and Chuck Berry are known to all blues fans for their remarkable soloing abilities. But the complete blues guitarist must do more than shine in the solo spotlight. And that is why every great soloist is also a great fill-in player. Tasteful fill-in licks support and inspire the singer while adding fire and drive to the performance. For example, Blind Lemon Jeffersons string-snapping fill-ins provided the perfect complement for his rough-hewn blues songs. Both Louis Armstrong and Lester Young seemed to talk to the singer with their finely-crafted, jazzy fill-ins. And Henry Sunflower Vestines stinging, buzzsaw fill-ins never failed to drive his Canned Heat bandmates into a psychedelic frenzy. This book is accompanied by a user-friendly split-track CD allows you to sit in with a professional blues band while you learn to play blues fills behind a great singer, Charles Adkins. The Heat-Seeking Missile Blues Band is heard on the left channel; the fill-in licks are isolated on the right channel. This is not just another book of abstract how do I use these licks in real life? licks, but a collection of solid musical ideas that can be applied to thousands of real songs. Another fine contribution from Red Dog Music Books, designed for the early intermediate-to intermediate guitarist. Some of the licks are accessible to highly motivated near-beginners, and the book is an excellent resource for teachers.

Book Description

Asymmetric catalysis represents still one of the major challenges in modern organic chemistry. Besides the well-established asymmetric metal-complex-catalysed syntheses and biocatalysis, the use of "pure" organic catalysts turned out to be an additional efficient tool for the synthesis of chiral building blocks. In this handbook, the experienced authors from academia and industry provide the first overview of the important use of such metal-free organic catalysts in organic chemistry. With its comprehensive description of numerous reaction types, e.g., nucleophilic substitution and addition reactions as well as cycloadditions and redox reactions, this book targets organic chemists working in industry and academia, and deserves a place in every laboratory.

Book Description

Edited by two of the experts in the field, the central aim is to show organic chemists working in process development that enantioselective catalysis is suitable for the large-scale production of enantioenriched intermediates. In so doing, it is equally a source of information and inspiration for academic research, and, with its contribution by Noble prizewinner W. S. Knowles, will also heighten the status of industrial catalyst specialists working in the exciting field of enantioselective catalysis.

Book Description

The use of phosphine derivatives has historically induced the tremendous development of catalysis (both non-asymmetric and asymmetric). Although the chemistry of amines is more documented, the use of nitrogen-containing ligands only appeared recently. Nevertheless, during the last ten years, the results describing chiral diamine preparations and their uses in asymmetric catalysis and synthesis are increasing faster than their phosphorus counterparts. The reader will find in this volume the most recent methods for the synthesis of chiral diamines as well as their applications in asymmetric catalysis of CC bond formation. Particular attention will be given to spartein and derivatives of such diamines. Recently, the particular properties and the chemistry of amines allowed to obtain catalysts easy to separate and recycle and new types of ligands such as diaminocarbenes, ureas and thioureas. Finally, the complexing properties of some diamines allowed the formation of complexes with chirality "at the metal " which is of major theoretical interest and presents numerous potential applications.
