We Love It!
This is one of Dr. Seuss's best for very young children. It is fun to read, and will surely make you giggle, especially when you see the pink underpants! The pictures are cute and we always pause to talk about them. There are few words and soon your toddler will have them memorized, and be reading along with you. The kids and I highly recommend this book. We also recommend "Jamberry" by ...

The musings of a few hermits, a handful of anti-government critics and your garden variety assortment of conspiracy theorists and crazy people was all that one had when it came a debate on whats being done to our nation's food supply. Thats why Seeds of Deception is such a welcome addition to my bookshelf. For the first time there ...

The best book on cell culture
Freshney's Culture of Animal Cells is a great book. It is writen on an easy style, it is concise and complete at the same time and it does teach you all the basics (and a little bit more) of cell culture. When I was doing my masters I didn't have a lot of help with my cell culture experiments and this book was fundamental for my research. The book covers everything, starting from the biology of ...
