Book Description
This volume comprises selected contributions by internationally renowned researchers and represents the state-of-the-art in the field of hemoglobin function in vertebrates living in extreme and temperate environments. The topics have been covered from several viewpoints, including protein chemistry, molecular biology, and evolution. All the contributions chosen for publication focus on phenotypic and genetic adaptations to changing environmental conditions and on gene expression and regulation. The book provides the reader with an update in this field, which is presently enjoying a true renaissance following developments in recent years of powerful methodologies such as site-directed mutagenesis and discoveries of new roles, for example, as oxygen sensors and in nitric oxide metabolism.

The New York Times tells the story of the New York Yankees.......2004-02-04
A transient American League franchise was plunked down in New York in early 1903, which made last year the 100th anniversary of the team now known as the New York Yankees. As part of the celebration five writers from the sports department of "The New York Times" put together "The New York Yankees Illustrated History." Actually this volume has less photographs than I would have thought, given the title, although most Yankee fans will find enough new shots to justify flipping through the pages, including, believe it or not, a photograph of Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson joking about their infamous "lifestyle" swap.
The volume divides the history of the Yankees into five eras, each of which is defined by decades: (1) The Ruth Years (1903-1929), covered by George Vecsey, covers the most of the first three decades of the team, although Ruth was with the team from 1921 to 1935. This opening chapter sets up the first Yankee dynasty, with black & white photographs focusing on Ruth and the 1927 "Murder's Row" team as well as a collection of Yankee memorabilia by a long-time fan. My favorite shots are of Ruth in 1921, when he was in his physical prime, and Gehrig sitting on the dugout steps watching the team after he benches himself in 1939. (2) Gehrig-DiMaggio (1930s, 40s, 50s), written by Dave Anderson, really focuses primarily on the DiMaggio period, with the Iron Horse as the link between the Babe and Joltin' Joe. Again, the chronology does not quite fit because DiMaggio retired after 1951, but he is the dominant figure in this chapter, which has photographs of his personal life as well as his playing career.
When you see that the next chapter focuses on the 1960s, and who it focuses on, it becomes clear that the major figure who does not get to be worked into a title and who clearly defined the 1950s for the Yankees, was Yogi Berra. Instead, we have (3) Mantle, Maris and the 1960s, by Robert Lipsyte, which elevates Roger Maris and his 61* home runs to the same level of Mantle, DiMaggio, Gehrig and Ruth. I really think they are off base here, that the 1950s and 1960s should have been Yogi and Mickey. After all, it is still Yogi, the most beloved living baseball player, who is the only one in history with 10 World Series rings. This chapter has a rare color photograph of a 19 year old Mantle as well as a shot of Mantle and teammate Clip Mapes visiting Mickey's father at a Oklahoma mine, as well as the pivotal moment in the 1951 World Series when Mantle caught his spikes on a drain hole and popped his knee as DiMaggio catches the ball hit by Willie Mays.
For most Yankee fans the last two chapters deal with the New York Yankees they have probably known most of their lives: (4) Life With Steinbrenners (1970s, 80s), by Murray Chass, reminds everybody that you could have Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Billy Martin, Ron Guidry, Goose Gossage and whoever you wanted on the field, but the Yankees were dominated by the personality of the Boss. (5) The Modern Yankees, by Buster Olney, looks at how the dynasty that started dominating baseball at the end of the 1990s was put together, ending, ironically, with the Yankees losing the 2001 World Series in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 7 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Which meant the Yankees had only won four World Championships in the last six seasons. They are photographs of most of the key players associated with the new Yankee dynasty.
The 150 photographs in "The New York Yankees Illustrated History" come from the library of the Baseball Hall of Fame and extensive archives of "The New York Times." Interestingly enough, only the photographs in the last chapter are color shots. The text provides not so much a history of a franchise as the stories of the legendary players and great games. The writing here is certainly in the tradition of sports reporting more than history, which is quite appropriate for a richly illustrated volume. This is not a definitive history, nor is it the final word on a pictorial history of the team, but it is certainly strong enough in both departments to be worth a look by Yankee fans.

Love 'em or hate 'em, the Yankees have been as much a part of the October World Series landscape as falling leaves. This comprehensive, year-by-year history of baseball's most storied franchise is a treasure trove of breezy writing, nostalgic photography, thorough bibliography, and enough team statistics to overload a disk drive. Yet what puts The Yankees in a league of its own is its magnificent series of essays on some of the most colorful personalities ever to stride onto a ball field by some of the best scribes ever to haunt a press box: Grantland Rice on Babe Ruth, Paul Gallico on Lou Gehrig, Red Smith on Casey Stengel, and that's just the start. It's this kind of packaging that's making Temple University Press's Baseball in America and Baseball Encyclopedia series--the lineup also includes volumes on the Cubs, White Sox, Phillies, Braves, and Indians--real winners.

The Greatest Team In Baseball.......2000-09-24
Time has come and passed, with teams handing the World Series trophy over to the next team the next year. There are no true dynasties anymore. Back in the 20's through the mid 60's, the New York Yankees were the team to beat, every year. And now, once again, the New York Yankees are the epitomy of greatness. Names like Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, and Jeter have all walked through the hallowed corridors of Yankee Stadium, calling it their home. No team in any sport has recorded as many world championships as the Yankees have. Beginning with the trade involving Babe Ruth in 1920, within three years they had won their first World Series, traveling to the beginning of the new era with Jeter, the Yankees have been spectacular. In this book, the essence of the true, pinstriped summer boys is captured in breathtaking photography. I have yet to find a photography book that makes me feel like I'm there, to take the pictures like this one has. Taking you to Cooperstown and beyond, this book is priceless. It shows the viewer what kind of team it takes to win 25 World Series, what kind of team, year in and year out, is outstanding. The Yanks are a team you love or you love to hate. If you are a sports fan of any kind, this book will surely change the way you view the boys in pinstripes.

Book Description
Anyone who teaches, leads, or speaks in public has had the experience of needing to fill short amounts of time in order to hold the attention of the group. The challenge is familiar to Margaret Read MacDonald, who for thirty-five years told stories weekly to preschoolers. MacDonald has assembled 100 simple, short, pithy tales for all occasions-- holidays, history or nature walks, public speaking and media appearances, and especially for the classroom.
Customer Reviews:
Perfect for story telling to young'ens.......2007-09-18
My son loves it. great feature is at the end of each story it tells you story origins....
Margaret does it again!.......2005-07-23
Storytellers are verbal by nature--hyperverbal, in fact. When asked to tell a five minute story, most of us stumble. It's an occupational hazard! Fear no more. Margaret Read MacDonald has compiled a book full of three minute gems to help fill those gaps in a story program, or to fit the call for a "short little story."
She arranges the stories in categories such as "humorous tales," "stories for young listeners," or "scary tales." Source notes are, as with anything she writes, comprehensive, allowing the teller to explore the story in more depth. Her trademark telling notes in the margins accompany some stories, making this an excellent resource for use with new tellers. She even has each story timed, so that if you want a "story to think about" that is 1 minute 15 seconds in length, you can turn to "A Plan of Attack" from China.
Thanks for a long overdue storytelling resource, Maggie!

Book Description
Two moving inspirational novellas by beloved award-winning authors
"Christmas in my Heart"
by Catherine Palmer
When Claire Ross visited her reclusive aunt Flossie upon moving back home, she never expected her gift of a holiday wreath to come sailing after her as she left. Nor did she suspect her aunt of harboring past secrets. . .and present mischief. But the greatest surprise was rediscovering her teenage crush, a police chief eager to join forces to teach her aunt the true meaning of Christmas. . .and help Claire realize all her dreams.
"Christmas Moon"
by Gail Gaymer Martin
Caring for businessman Paul Stewart's twins was more than just a nanny job for Rose Danby, who longed for a family of her own. So when her employer, a widower, promised her the moon to relocate from sunny California to wintry Minnesota, Rose agreed, despite misgivings. Then one Christmas Eve, Rose saw the path to happiness illuminated by moonglow, faith. . .and love.
Customer Reviews:
vey good.......2007-09-01
This is an excellent book It was in very good condition and I couldn't put it down once i started reading.
A warm collection of stories to inspire holiday spirit.......2007-07-11
Christmas in My Heart by Catherine Palmer: This was an unusual story about a young art historian who returns to her hometown after a broken engagement. Her big heart wins over her eccentric and somewhat mentally compromised Great Aunt. Family secrets are revealed and historical relics are uncovered. In the process, she reconnects with her childhood friend, high school jock turned town sheriff, who no longer sees her as a gawky teenager, and they fall into a sweet romance to warm the Christmas season. Very enjoyable!
Christmas Moon by Gail Gaymer Martin: This is a cute twist on the widower falling in love with his children's nanny storyline. What makes this different from the others was the gradual way the romance simmered as the two came together - very realistic and believable. The setting was lovely, and the children were adorable! Nice, heartwarming story!
That Christmas Feeling.......2006-01-15
Catherine Palmer is one of my favorite authors. The story was well written, although not up to the standard of some of her other books. Nevertheless, I did enjoy reading it and have recommended it to friends.
Great reading for a cold winter evening.......2004-11-30
If you are looking for a warm tender novel to get you in the Christmas spirit, this is a great one to choose. Catherine Palmer's story is fantastic and one to warm your heart. I loved Flossie and her spirit. Gail Gaymer Martin's story is sweet and touching. True love can sometimes be found right under your nose if you aren't too blind to see it. Light and engaging, this book is an enjoyable read for a cold winter night by the fire.
A Delightful, Cozy Tale.......2004-11-10
That Christmas Feeling is a lovely, hardcover book coupling two new novellas by award-winning novelist, Gail Gaymer Martin and best-selling author, Catherine Palmer. Ms. Palmer's story, "Christmas in My Heart", is a delightful romantic tale of Claire Ross and Police Chief Rob West. Add Claire's eccentric Aunt Flossie and dozens of cats into the mix, and the romance is off to a crazy start. Ms. Martin's story, "Christmas Moon", is equally as charming - in which kids' nanny Rose Danby tries to sort out her feelings for their widowed father, her boss, Paul Stewart. While she loves his twins like they were her own, she is certain her relationship with Paul has no future. As Christmas approaches, Rose's choice becomes clear. Both stories will leave you smiling and brighten the holidays. So get a copy, grab a mug of hot chocolate, curl up by the fire, and enjoy! A delightful read!
