When Samantha Rainford -- newly wed to Douglas Cosmo Rainford III -- returns home from her honeymoon to find divorce papers waiting, she's shocked and heartbroken. Then she discovers that she's not the first to be abandoned -- she's one of four (or maybe more) ex-Mrs. Rainfords -- and decides it's time to put into practice that old truism: Don't get mad, get even. With the help of her longtime girlfriend Slick, a glamorous fashion model, Sam gathers together a highly unlikely team: Mrs. Kayla Rainford, an architect who moonlights as an exotic dancer; Mrs. Zoe Rainford, a plumber; and Mrs. Olivia Rainford, a former cheerleader and cartoon artist. Sam and Slick flunked out of FBI training school, but they still learned a few things there -- like how to plan a mission. And the fivesome is determined to do whatever it takes to bring down Douglas Rainford III. Whatever it takes means attending a top-secret private special-ops training camp in the North Carolina mountains, where Sam meets fiercely disciplined ex-CIA operative Kollar Havapopulas. Six feet three and handsome as a Greek god, "Pappy" is the best at what he does -- transforming civilians into highly skilled fighting teams. What he's less adept at, however, is telling a woman how he feels, and before long he discovers he's developing some very warm feelings for Sama, Pocket Books, 2007, 2.5, Watertowbn, Massachusetts, U.S.A.: Talewinds, 2000.

"School Library Journal ( April 01, 2001; 9781570914102 ) K-Gr 2-Old Chen is getting tired of crafting the beautiful paper lanterns he has perfected, but there is no one to carry on the tradition-until a boy shows up, full of awe. Old Chen gives Little Mouse chores to do around the shop. The child carefully observes the master at work, and practices in secret at home. One day, he presents his creation to Chen, and the master knows he has finally found an apprentice worthy of his craft. When the big lantern festival comes, Old Chen is too weak to create the dragon masterpiece he has planned, and Little Mouse finishes it, making his teacher proud. While the bright, bold illustrations of the lanterns are lovely to look at, the artist's depiction of the characters is less successful. The round faces, quarter-moon-shaped eyes, prominent top row of teeth, angular wisps of hair, and nerdy buttoned-up shirt style are offensively stereotypical. According to the book jacket, this story is set in modern times, but the representations of the Asian faces are old-fashioned. The artist/author's stylized illustrations in The Cricket's Cage (Hyperion, 1997) are far better. Pass on this one.-DeAnn Tabuchi, San Anselmo Public Library, CA (c) Copyright 2010.

The National Health Service is monitoring general practices and hospitals; it is keen to have more information about efficiency and the duration of stay of patients in different hospitals undergoing different types of treatment. These activities are usually carried out in relation to specific objectives with the aim of making activities more cost effective and competitive. Does the same apply in biology, ecology and nature conservation? Or, are we still enjoying conducting field surveys for the fun of it, at best with rather vague objectives and saying to our colleagues that we do our work because we need to know what is there? This book is an opportunity to consider some of the reasons why monitoring is important, how it differs from survey, how it may be able to answer specific questions and help with site management or problem solving. It will explore some of the taxa that are suitable for recording and how you may actually set about doing it. It is not intended as a catalogue of techniques but we will in each chapter give you sources of material so that with the minimum of effort you will be able to proceed with an efficient, relevant and not too time­ consuming monitoring programme. Some of the points that you need to consider before starting are also set down in the synthesis at the end of the book." (publisher). Soft Cover.
