Book Description

The understanding of the reproductive physiology of insects is of fundamental importance in many modern methods of pest management. For the first time in a single volume, recent findings concerning the structure and function of insect ovaries during previtellogenic growth are comprehensively summarized.
Features of this unique book include

a detailed comparison of ovarian structures from all insect orders;
a phylogenetic model of the diversification of insect ovaries;
a discussion of new aspects of the genetic background to insect gonad development.

The Insect Ovary has been written for advanced students and professional scientists involved in the study of insect developmental biology, ultrastructure and phylogeny or with an interest in pest management.

Book Description

According to R.H. Crabtree, Metal Dihydrogen and sigma-Bond Complexes is described as `the definitive account of twentieth-century work in the area of sigma complexation'. It covers not only Kubas' discovery of dihydrogen coordination and the study of its structure and general properties but also discusses both the theoretical beliefs and experimental results of bonding and activation of dihydrogen on metal centers and the coordination and activation of C-H, B-H, X-H, and X-Y bonds, giving an overview of `one of the hottest areas in chemistry'.

Fans of Alice Hoffman's first novella for children, Aquamarine, will be thrilled to discover Indigo, another watery tale that blends fantasy with reality in a surprising coming-of-age quest. Thirteen-year-old Martha and her best friends, brothers nicknamed Trout and Eel for their fishy tendencies and webbed fingers and toes, long to escape from their dull, dry town. Their ambivalent feelings about running away, though, are reinforced when a fierce storm interrupts their journey and helps them begin to answer their questions about who they are "at the deepest core"--and who they will become. Unfortunately, there's not enough time for Hoffman to develop her characters here, and an implausibly pat denouement may leave the reader wishing the book were longer--or shorter--but the elements of friendship, loss, and hope will come through for those who take it for the parable it is. (Ages 10 to 14) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

13 year-old Martha Glimmer is convinced this is the worst time of her life. Her mother died, she grew 7 inches, and she has to put up with a woman who plys Martha's lonely father with food and opinions about how 13 year-old girls should behave. Martha longs to leave Oak Grove and travel. Martha's best friend Trevor and his brother Eli also want to leave Oak Grove. Nicknamed Trout and Eel because of the thin webbing between their fingers and toes, they long to see the ocean. Together, Martha, Trout, and Eel are going to find the true meaning of home -- in very unexpected places.

Water World.......2007-04-05

This novel is centered around water and a town that prides itself on being dry. Tragedy strikes and the town is flooded but two special children save the day.

Pretty sweet book.......2007-03-15

The book ,Indigo, is a book to read. The reason why,well even if your a slow reader this book will be easy on the eyes.The book ,Indigo, is best suited for the preteen and under for the text is not small and there are only eighty four pages.

Indigo starts out introdusing the main character,Martha,and explaines her life and the fact that her mother died and she lives with her dad.There town is named Oak Grove,or as some locals in the book called it "the high and dry town".This odd nickname originated from the fact thatwater was forbidon besides the ocasional bath.Martha is sertantly not fond of this.Her and her two friends Eel(Eli)and Trout(Trevor)have to deal with throwing rocks.They are getting tired of this and are planning to sneak out.Martha,Eel,and Trout start there trip it ends up Tevor did the math and it willtake them ten days. The travelers destination is Ocean City this plase is not forighn.Trout and Eel were born here.The first night is rough and a branch fell on Martha's arm.They later came to the conclution it was brocken.The group dicided to go back and check the arm.When Martha and her friends came back and it was flooded.Trevor and his little discover that they have unateral swimming powers.Martha goes to find her father and see the docter.trout and Eelgo to save the day or town.Finally it is over, the docter says that Martha's arm is okay.Trout's parents decide to take them back to Ocean City.Martha onthe other hand dances in the moon light having fun.

A Teacher's Perspective.......2007-01-17

This is a simple book written about 13-year-old Martha Glimmer and her two unusual friends, "Trout" (Trevor), 13, and "Eel" (Eli), 11, McGill. Trout and Eel are unique due to the unusual webbing found between their fingers and toes. They are also unique because of their affinity for water in a town that prides itself on being dry. This town is known as Oak Grove and believes 'the drier the better' since it suffered from a disastrous flood many years ago. This dry town is disappointing to the McGill brothers who dream of seeing the ocean. Martha and her two friends set out to "run-to" see the ocean as opposed to runaway from home and find that a storm/flood brings them back sooner than expected.

This book started out well, but ended disjointedly. I felt like Martha's reaction to finding out why the boys were "special" was unrealistically non-existent. Some parts that were supposed to be believable, such as the boys single-handedly moving the huge stones in the wall, were not presented in such a way that I was able to believe them. In addition, the disaster or aftermath of such a flood were not even acknowledged. I didn't so much have a problem with the fantastical element of the book, just the huge gaps left in the book that if filled would give the book more credibility. I also believe that the suggested reading level of 5 may be a bit high.

Indigo.......2006-12-01

Indigo is a perfect book for young children to adults because it teaches to be yourself and care about others that aren't actually normal.

In this book a girl named Martha Glimmer moved to Oak Grove and lost her mother when she was 12. She is 13 now. This older woman who pays no attention to what Martha says, brings over casserolesfor her grieving father. Her name is Hidly Swoon. Martha's best friends, Eli and Trevor McGill,(who have a thin webbing between their fingers and toes)always sit with her the roof of her garage throwing rocks at 10 tin cans they lined in a row on the ground. Until one day, Martha, Eli, and Trevor decide to run away from home to Ocean City. While on the way to Ocean City, something bad happens, a tree branch falls on Martha's arm! Now, a whole chain of events happen. If you want to find out what those things are, check out the book in the library.(bottom shelf second case on the wall as you walk in)

YOU HAVEN'T LIVED TILL YOU DYED.......2006-02-15

INDIGO DYING is another excellent volume of the popular China Bayles series. China and Ruby go off to Indigo, a small town of 37 people, which is in the process of a renaissance, thanks to the opening of several new specialty shops. Bayles is in Indigo for the annual dyeing festival, and meets up with her old friend, Allie. Unfortunately, Allie's dastardly uncle is planning on selling the property rights to a mining company, virtually assuring the destruction of what was once Indigo. Of course, on a Friday night presentation of a new local melodrama, dastardly old Uncle Casey is blown away by a shotgun blast, in the building in which he had set "booby traps" to discourage vandals and such. Is it a murder? An accident? And isn't it strange that all 37 people in Indigo are glad Casey's dead? China and friends jump into the mystery full tilt and Albert once again delivers a fun, breezy read.

Okay Murder Mystery!.......2005-08-23

This writer is new to me. I had just finished her most excellent books on the Beatrix Potter murders and jumped into this book. It's like switching from one pallet to another without a swish of water. My mind was expecting the same experience as the Potter books and it got another kind of reading experience - took a few pages to get into this book. It's a series of mysteries surrounding facts about herbs and plants - which I dearly love. It took a few chapters and then the book became interesting, although the receipes and herb facts are wonderful. I will read the rest of the series - and SO SHOULD EVERY OTHER READER. Good Book!

A book that should not be missed!.......2005-07-09

Susan Wittig Albert has done it again! This is a mystery that leaves us asking for more... Wanting to know what is happening next in the life of her protagonist China Bayles, her husband Mc Quiad, her son Brian, and friend Ruby. China Bayles makes us part of her family and this obligates us to catch up with what might be happening in her life and that of her familia.

Good, but not her best.......2004-11-10

When China Bayles agrees to go to the small town of Indigo, Texas, to take part in the Colors to Dye For Workshop, she has no idea that not all of the dying will be in conjunction with the herbs she is supplying. The town is angry at Casey Ford, a crotchety old man who has decided to sell the mineral rights of his land to a strip mining operation which will virtually kill the town. When he is found dead, there are a number of suspects. The plot takes several twists and turns, as different
people's secret pasts are uncovered. Author Albert doesn't spend enough time on any of the characters to flesh them out so that the reader knows and cares about them. The emphasis on plot over characters makes this book less appealing to me than most of the other books in the series.

Indigo Dying.......2004-09-03

This was the first book I read by Susan Wittig and I found it very interesting. She kept on track and also taught me something about dyes. I always enjoy a cozy mystery and this one was very interesting.
