5-0 out of 5 stars Newark's armadillo
I met the author of this book at the OCCC in Orlando, Florida on September 30th, 2010 where her book signing was one of the highlights in the conference organized by AARP.
After all she's been through (must read the book),she is all heart and soul,very friendly, loving and carrying person. As for the book, I read it in one sitting, I simply couldn't put it down. Newark's Armadillo is one of the best books I have ever read when it comes to a true story. This book should be a part of every home, to remind one that no matter how odd and hard is the path life leads you on, there's always a savior to give you strength to find the one you should walk on, walk the walk to find yourself stronger than ever.

4-0 out of 5 stars Armadillos Sleep in Dugouts
This is a nice addition to books on animal habitats. Theintroduction of new vocabulary words, such as badgers'"setts" and armadillos' "dugouts" provides young readers with exposure to words they might not otherwise encounter. The rhymes, although occasionally awkward, are simple and to the point. The illustrations nicely support the text, and make a pleasant book for reading aloud or for simply leafing through with your favorite child. ... Read more

Product Description
She’s back! Join everybody’s favourite beer-swilling, chain-smoking, kangaroo-lurving lunatic as she embarks on her first ‘proper’ literary excursion. Violence! Time travel! Midgets! Yes, tremble in fear at Tank Girl: The Novel!

Tank Girl and Booga have launched an all-out assault on the town of Chankers, starting with the church. But what prompted this attack? Could it have something to do with Booga’s nightmare vacation there years ago? Well whaddyou think?

Destined to become a literary classic — y’know, like Watership Down or something — and a mainstay of high school syllabuses, this is Tank Girl as you’ve never experienced her before: in attractively justified eight point serif. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars fcukin great!
everything you want from tank girl and more...makes me look foreward to the post-apocalyptic fate of the world that is looking more and more inevitable every day!

5-0 out of 5 stars Tank Girl Novel
This novel contains plenty of the tried and true post-apocalyptic beer-guzzling, butt-smoking, heat-packing, thigh-trembling, chest-heaving action. Death is much prettier in the form of a girl with a rerally big gun. Penis envy rocks.

5-0 out of 5 stars She still smells awful after all these years
Our beer guzzling, chain smoking, roo shagging anti heroine is back in a whole new light.

I love Tank Girl. She came into my life at about age twelve and has always been there, even in her long absence from comics. I'll admit that though I highly enjoyed the latest series 'The Gifting' it did feel like something was missing with the absence of Jamie Hewlett's art. When I picked up Armadillo I assumed I would find the same hole Mr. Hewlett left. I couldn't have been more mistaken.

In this new medium, the world of Tank Girl is able to sprawl out before us in a vast new way. Gone are the constrictive bounds of the comic book panel, gone are the small clipped narratives and lack of inner monologue; all set free apart from the limits of our own imaginations.

I would recommend...no...I would insist that any long time Tank Girl fan pick this up and devour it as I did. The 156 page story, Armadillo! is comedic magnificence. The 2nd half called The Bushel is a nice collection of shorts, comic scripts and odd bits that are sure to burst or necessitate some stitches. Newer fans might want to familiarize themselves with some of the Tank Girl classics before delving into this world so they can completely appreciate the elevation of the characters, setting and general storytelling.

I always new Martin was a comedic genius, but he really shines brightest here all on his own.Until he gives us another volume like this one, I'll be rabidly craving more.

In this fascinating book, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist muses on various aspects of biochemistry, explaining the chemical basis for many biological phenomena. Drawing on his own experiences as well as on colorful anecdotes about the work of other scientists, Bloch presents a new way of looking at the world and a revealing glimpse into the ways that scientific discoveries are made and problems are solved. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars the world, as a conglomeration of chemical substances
This is a wonderful tour of a discipline that has been dismissed as far less sexy (less "ultimate") than cosmology or nanotechnology:the realm of biochemistry.Bloch sets out to change the impression of chemistry as a dull discipline - with great success.

The story of biochemistry, as he tells it, is full of riddles and surprises.It began in 1897, when Eduard Buchner ground up yeast cell with sand, plugged them into a bottle, and woke up to find the cork had popped out during the night.Seemingly so banal, this discovery overturned the "vitalist" notion of the processes of life, that they could operate solely in intact, living cells.It proved, instead, that cell physiology could be studied as purely chemical reactions.The next 50 years, which Bloch describes as the Golden Age of biochem, witnessed the discovery of enzymes and other molecules behine innumerable chemical processes.And the methods that scientists used were similar to those of Buchner:grind up cells to free their chemical constituents, and then attempt to predict their behavior under a variety of conditions.

Among the many notable repercussions of these experiments was the development of the science of nutrition - by isolating, purifying, and uncovering the molecular structure of amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins.Once identified, researchers could experiment to find what combination led to better health.

But Bloch doesn't stop with these, and many similar, observations.In a series of delightful extrapolations, he explains why domestic cats need to hunt (they can't synthesize the amino acid taurine, so must find it in the meat of animals who can); how dark latin venetians used soap to bleach their hair blond (a hydrogen peroxide reaction that sunlight enabled); or the reasons that Amerindians ground corn meal on limestone (they needed a certain chemical added to corn to avoid developing bari bari).

Bloch also offers glimpses into the unknown, areas that are not yet explained but hold promising applications.The list is so long that the book must be read:they include the potential uses of thalidomide, insect secretions that might protect us, and the like.It is truly dazzling.What you get is a personal portrait of a vital field that the author, a Harvard Nobel Laureate, helped to create.The writing is also clear and vivid, never dry.

Warmly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars I wish there were more books like this!
A real treat & unfortunately rare.I wish there were more books that focused on biochemistry (& chemistry) in such a manner.I very much hope that this author produces more of this delightful style of scientificwriting... inquiring minds really do want to know.I thank the author forwriting this book--I enjoyed it immensely, & very much appreciate ithaving been written. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Shelby Hearon's "Armadillo in the Grass" is one of my top favorite books.The main character is Clare Blue, an artistic and poetic soul, who emerges deliciously over time in this book as a wonderfully complex?-or is it all so simple? woman.Women everywhere can identify with Clara Blue as she tackles the issues married women everywhere face:children, husband, finding our own identities fearlessly...I love this book.I have read it and re-read it many times and have made sure to purchase a copy for all my now-grown daughters.I enthusiastically recommend reading this book - in an overstuffed chair, late at night after husband and kids are in bed...:-)

4-0 out of 5 stars Shelby Hearon's debut novel
Clara Blue's husband is a history professor whose cerebral nature was attractive to her before they married.Now that she has lived with him for several years and they have produced two young sons, she realizes that he speaks a different language than she does--that he revels in the production of a history book while she delights in being in the moment, watching a raccoon in the yard.To his credit, her husband encourages her pursuits by supplying her with clay and with art lessons from an artist named Locke.As she learns to work with first clay, then wood and stone, she learns more about herself and what she needs in order to be fulfilled.As she evolves into the person she wants to be, she can better allow the same for her husband.This is a beautiful little book about fulfilling your destiny while you encourage others to fulfill theirs. ...

From the author: We report Fan-tailed Warblers (Euthlypis lachrymosa) foraging in association with the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in El Imposible National Park, El Salvador. Although the warbler is known to forage opportunistically at ant swarms, this is the first report of commensal feeding with a mammal.

5-0 out of 5 stars introduction to many animals through how they swim
Children are introduced to 12 mammals through how they swim in water; with additional information on the animals in a section following the main text. On left-hand pages are realistic illustrations of the animals swimming or in their natural habitat near water. The right-hand pages have cartoon-like illustrations of the young boy asking the question about the animals while taking a bath and also illustrations of the different animals involved with the boy in the bath. The imaginative work for children ages 3-6 is an entertaining, humorous way for them to learn a little about a number of wild animals.
