On her teeth-stealing adventure, Mouse begins her mission to steal
children's teeth in the hope that she can save her fairies before
it's too late. But is this drastic course of action the answer?
What happens when a little girl finds her out? Is the jig up or is
there another way? Meet Faith, a young girl desperate still to
believe in a world that's starting to forget. Faith decides to help
Mouse find an alternative way to save the fairies without stealing
the teeth. Together they adventure to find an alternative source of
teeth to get the much-needed magic for the fairies, but after
disappointment hits and they are unable to find a suitable
alternative, they accidentally stumble upon the answer that had
been there all along. Laughter! The magic of the children's
laughter, just as powerful as the teeth the fairies collected. The
fairies could be saved after all. As long as Mouse could get the
magic back in time, but being so small Mouse just isn't fast enough
to save her fairy friends, now drained of their magic and fading
away. In one last attempt to save the day Mouse takes the magic to
the Fairy Mountain Volcano, waking it up and letting it spew the
magic back out into the world-saving the magic and the fairies too!
A not so average fairy tale, the rules have been thrown out the
window, so who knows what may happen along the way!
The wisdom of Confucius, China's greatest teacher and sage, can
guide each of us in our own time.
Twenty-six centuries after their origination, the principles
laid down in the Analects of Confucius still act as the foundation
of Chinese philosophy, ethics, society and government, and play a
formative role in the development of many Eastern philosophies. In
this intriguing look at the ethical and spiritual meaning of the
Analects, Rodney L. Taylor, the foremost American researcher of
Confucius as a religious and spiritual figure, explains their
profound and universal wisdom for our own time. He shows how
Confucius advocates learning and self-cultivation to follow the
"path of the sage" or Way of Heaven a journey that promises to
promote reason, peace and understanding.
Alongside an updated version of the classic translation by
Sinologist James Legge, Taylor provides informative and accessible
commentary that illuminates the meaning behind selected passages
from the Analects and their insights on character development,
respect and reverence, and the nature of learning, goodness,
truthfulness and righteousness."
Chesley's Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy continues its
tradition as one of the beacons to guide the field of preeclampsia
research, recognized for its uniqueness and utility. Hypertensive
disorders remain one the major causes of maternal and fetal
morbidity and death. It is also a leading cause of preterm birth
now known to be a risk factor in remote cardiovascular disease.
Despite this the hypertensive disorders remain marginally studied
and management is often controversial. The fourth edition of
Chesley's Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy focuses on
prediction, prevention, and management for clinicians, and is an
essential reference text for clinical and basic investigators
alike. Differing from other texts devoted to preeclampsia, it
covers the whole gamut of high blood pressure, and not just
preeclampsia.
Zen is a way of life and this inspirational new book, with
beautiful illustrations, poetry, aphorisms and still-pointed text
discusses Zen's origins in Buddhism, how to achieve enlightenment
through meditation and contemplation, and even how to cook and
garden in the spirit of Zen. Above all it's beautifully bound and
illustrated, and perfect as a companion as well as a gift.

Journals and letters, translated from the original French, bring
Michaux's work to modern readers and scientists. Known to today's
biologists primarily as the 'Michx,' at the end of more than 700
plant names, AndrE Michaux was an intrepid French naturalist. Under
the directive of King Louis XVI, he was commissioned to search out
and grow new, rare, and never-before-described plant species and
ship them back to his homeland in order to improve French forestry,
agriculture, and horticulture. He made major botanical discoveries
and published them in his two landmark books, Histoire des chEnes
de l'AmErique (1801), a compendium of all oak species recognized
from eastern North America, and Flora Boreali-Americana (1803), the
first account of all plants known in eastern North America.
Straddling the fields of documentary editing, history of the early
republic, history of science, botany, and American studies, AndrE
Michaux in North America: Journals and Letters, 1785-1797 is the
first complete English edition of Michaux's American journals. This
copiously annotated translation includes important excerpts from
his little-known correspondence as well as a substantial
introduction situating Michaux and his work in the larger
scientific context of the day. To carry out his mission, Michaux
traveled from the Bahamas to Hudson Bay and west to the Mississippi
River on nine separate journeys, all indicated on a finely
rendered, color-coded map in this volume. His writings detail the
many hardships - debilitating disease, robberies, dangerous wild
animals, even shipwreck - that Michaux endured on the North
American frontier and on his return home. But they also convey the
soaring joys of exploration in a new world where nature still
reigned supreme, a paradise of plants never before known to Western
science. The thrill of discovery drove Michaux ever onward, even
ultimately to his untimely death in 1802 on the remote island of
Madagascar.
