Mia Thinks She Can Sing
If animals could talk to us, I wonder what they would say. Would they tell us their plans and ideas? Maybe they would tell us what they want to be when they grow up. What could a little, furry hamster want to be? One day Mia had a wonderful idea. She knew she was good at squeaking, and if she practised a lot every day, she was quite sure that those squeaks would sound just as nice as the noises that people make when they do something called ‘singing’. Ermina Hamster’s home is no longer a lovely quiet place, that is, except when Mia goes to sleep. Let’s visit Ermina Hamster’s little home and see, and hear, for ourselves what happens when pretty, little Mia decides she wants to become a singer...
Thursday Afternoons
Thursdays aren’t simply another day of the week for Amy Spencer and Ellis Hall. Thursday afternoons sizzle with no-strings sex for the two women, who meet each week in a hotel room to forget their past—and their present. The arrangement works perfectly for Amy, a busy surgeon who’s still smarting from a failed relationship. For Ellis, Thursday afternoons act as a pressure valve from her cutthroat job and the mistakes in her personal life she’s trying to rectify. But soon the pair discover that their outside worlds are on a collision course with the carefully constructed world they’ve created on Thursday afternoons. What will happen when they discover the truth about each other? Will their weekly assignations come to a screeching halt, or will they turn into something much, much more…
Uniform Numbers of the NFL
Football is a game of numbers--fourth and inches, the three-man rush, a two point conversion, first down. Even with the obvious numbers in the statistics, rules and game situations, the players' uniform numbers themselves have become part of professional football and its lore. NFL players, like modern-day gladiators, are fitted head-to-toe in protective gear, obscuring even their faces from their most loyal fans. They have become largely identifiable through their uniform numbers. You cannot conjure up Larry Csonka without seeing the number 39 crashing through the line of scrimmage, or recall Lawrence Taylor without imagining the fear his 56 inspired in opposing quarterbacks. This comprehensive reference work lists all 32 current franchises of the NFL and includes brief team histories, statistics and interesting facts. Each chapter ends with an all-time numerical roster listing the numbers 1 through 99 (in some cases beginning with 00) and everyone, from Hall-of-Famer to replacement player, who has ever worn the corresponding number for that club. Four appendices are included.
Strong Hearts and Healing Hands
In 1924, the United States began a bold program in public health. The Indian Service of the United States hired its first nurses to work among Indians living on reservations. This corps of white women were dedicated to improving Indian health. In 1928, the first field nurses arrived in the Mission Indian Agency of Southern California. These nurses visited homes and schools, providing public health and sanitation information regarding disease causation and prevention. Over time, field nurses and Native people formed a positive working relationship that resulted in the decline of mortality from infectious diseases. Many Native Americans accepted and used Western medicine to fight pathogens, wh...
Fighting Invisible Enemies
Native Americans long resisted Western medicine—but had less power to resist the threat posed by Western diseases. And so, as the Office of Indian Affairs reluctantly entered the business of health and medicine, Native peoples reluctantly began to allow Western medicine into their communities. Fighting Invisible Enemies traces this transition among inhabitants of the Mission Indian Agency of Southern California from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century. What historian Clifford E. Trafzer describes is not so much a transition from one practice to another as a gradual incorporation of Western medicine into Indian medical practices. Melding indigenous and medical history spec...
The World's Richest Indian
In 1911, a self-trained geologist and oil speculator named Tom Slick arrived in Creek County, Oklahoma, convinced that under the ground beneath his feet lay an ocean of black gold. Within a year his instincts proved correct as he opened up what was to become the world-renowned Cushing Field, the source of the best high-grade crude west of the Alleghenies.

Though she's shared his house for more than two months, she's remained elusive. Luke's ready to cross that divide, and win her love for good.
