GET THIS BOOK!.......2000-01-19
This book really helps you understand the math problems in chemistry. It's written in plain English, and the examples are clearly shown step by step. It helped me through my homework, and saved me on the exams. I highly recommend this book.

Molecular Markers, Natural History, and Evolution
ASIN: 0198504071 |
Book Description
Microsatellites are short stretches of repeated DNA, found in most genomes, that show exceptional variability in humans and most other species. This variability has made microsatellites the genetic marker of choice for most applications, including genetic mapping and studies of the evolutionary connections between species and populations. This book brings together an international group of scientists currently working in microsatellites. Their contributions provide a detailed description of microsatellite biology, focusing on their mutation properties, generation, decay, and possible functional roles. They introduce the theoretical models that underpin the most popular methods for analysing the information that microsatellites can yield, including methods for estimating coalescent times, population divergences, and migration. Finally, the book describes the various ways in which the potential of microsatellites is being harnessed in a range of applications including medical genetics, forensics, genetic mapping, the analysis of human evolution, and conservation genetics.

After reading this book, I guarantee that you will never visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or any wonderful, old cavern of a museum) without sneaking into the bathrooms to look for Claudia and her brother Jamie. They're standing on the toilets, still, hiding until the museum closes and their adventure begins. Such is the impact of timeless novels . . . they never leave us. E. L. Konigsburg won the 1967 Newbery Medal for this tale of how Claudia and her brother run away to the museum in order to teach their parents a lesson. Little do they know that mystery awaits!
Book Description
Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away...so she decided not to run FROM somewhere, but TO somewhere. And so, after some careful planning, she and her younger brother, Jamie, escaped -- right into a mystery that made headlines!

I Want to Go There!.......2007-09-15
I want to go to New York to see this museum. This book was incredible and I loved the style of writing and the way the story unfolded letting each character have their own voice. I loved the notes at the end from the author. I really could tell she loved these characters and did care about their ever after. Every child should read this book. Wait, every adult should read this book!
Children's Classic.......2007-07-08
I bought this book for a class that I was student teaching for, and to my dismay none of them heard of it. Thanks to standardized testing books like these collect dust. My class loved it, and I highly recommened having it on the bookshelf for future generations
midnight museum magic.......2007-06-13
Do you like adventure, mystery and fun? Well then this is the book for you. It is about a girl named Claudia (11), and her brother, Jamie(9); they decided to run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They worked together which helped them to survive many days and nights in the museum. I learned that you should work together no matter who it is you are working with; your brother, your sister, a friend, or even Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler! I'd love to tell you more, but I can't spoil the story befroe you read "From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler."

From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler
E.L Konigsburg
Twelve year old Claudia Kincaid, is bored with her life - being an "A" student all the time, not having a big allowance, and having to deal with being the only girl and oldest of all her brothers. So, she decides to change things a bit to make them exciting. She takes all her allowance, her brother's allowance, her brother (Jamie) and a trumpet and violin case and heads off on an enjoyable, fun adventure to the Metropolitan Museum of art in New York City. There, they take tours everyday, sleep in queens' beds and do whatever they please while being careful not to get caught. One day, they uncover a beautiful, exquisite statue of an angel. As they get to know more about this angel, they find out that it is a mystery. No one knows who actually created this angel. Claudia is determined to find out who the artist is. But will she ever figure it out without getting caught?
This book was full of adventure, and filled determination and concentration. I really enjoyed this book because I felt like I was in the story with the characters through their good and bad times. Konigsburg makes this story become so realistic, it comes to life.
I recommend this book for anyone who loves a good adventure. The plot and setting of Konigsburg's book makes it an incredible, thrilling quest that I am sure you will enjoy! I know I enjoyed it!
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs Basil E.Frankweiler.......2007-04-17
E.L. Konigsburg wrote, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, a Newberry children or teens book. The book is about two children running away from their house and staying at the Metropolitan Museums of Art. The obstacles they go through to live independently include regrets from going anyway. It reminds you how much you care about your parents. While at the museum the kids find a mysterious puzzle that has clues that to an unexpected conclusion. There are no weaknesses in this book. I read this book because my Aunt is the author. I am not saying this book is good because I am related to the Author but because it is a fantastic and interesting novel. I totally recommend this book to anyone. There is also other books of hers that have won Newberry medals. A movie has been made to go with the book if you are more of a movie kind of guy.
Customer Reviews:
If you like fantasy you'll like this book.......2002-01-31
I just finshed Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh. It was an ok book. It was an ok book because it was not a believable story. Another reason is because I do not like fairy tales. Rats were trained to read and write. A mouse helps a crow out of a trap. So if you like fantasy you will like this book. So go ask librarian for this book at your local libary.
Good read for the price.......2001-03-16
I thought this collection was ace! The one set in the museum was the best. It was kind of creepy and sad in parts but has a very interesting story and the end explains a lot. If you have kids, they will like this one too.
I did not like so much "M.C. Higgins the Great" which I thought was more for boys. I didn't read this one though so I don't know what it's about except for the first five pages.
For all your parents out there my Mom liked "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwiler" as well. If you liked reading you will like this even if you are any age at all.
I am still reading "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimth",
I also recomend "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit" in another book.
Three timeless classics.......2000-05-18
I was delighted to find these three classic childrens books in one volume. I read these stories as a child and I wanted to be able to share them with my nieces and nephews. All three books teach life lessons while presenting a fun adventure. The Mixed-up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is an excellent story about two children who decide to run away from home and hide in a museum. The story can be read a chapter a night. It keeps the children interested and allows them see museums in a whole new light. My second favorite book in the collection is The Rats of Nimth. The book is so realistic and compelling, you forget the main characters are rodents. Finally, M.C. Higgens the Great.The main character is quirky, fun and has so many adventures! Truly, excellent stories to read aloud to your children or as a gift.

One of my all-time favorites!.......1999-05-11
I absolutely adore this book. I read it 25 years ago when I was in the fourth grade, and I just recently read it again - and it never lost its adventure, its character, or its enticing quality. Claudia is just as endearing to my outer adult as she continues to be to my inner child...I still couldn't put the book down!
This is a great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......1999-04-14
