Product Description
Homeless on the rain-swept streets of St. Petersburg, Russia, Misha sneaks into the back door of a large theater building that reminds him of a birthday cake. He is looking for warmth and food. Inside he finds a fantastic world where things are never what they seem and fairy tales become real. When Auntie Oksana, a seamstress in the costume shop, takes him under her wing, Misha feels safe. He even dreams of joining the children dancing in the Nutcracker premier. But his dream suddenly turns into a nightmare. He must use all his street smarts to escape from the Mouse King and find his way back to the theater. This moving classic tale transports the reader to Russia where love, loyalty and the magic of theater battle with a corrupt and calculating world. ... Read more

Good Book
This is a good resource for Enterprise MySQL. Since I am a novice I am not the best reviewer, though dated I found it interesting and informative.

Where's the beef?
I wasn't very impressed with this book.There was lots of general common sense statements that don't need to be said.The author glosses over installing MySQL from source.The majority of the book deals with version 3.2.If you know nothing about databases and MySQL is your first, you might get a little out of this book.If you have some experience with databases, you will get little from this book.If you are a DBA you will get nothing from this book.

The author really knows MySQL....
I like the way this author writes.I was amazed at the network configurations to move MySQL to a higher level.I was inspired by his positive attitude and straight forward approach to solving any MySQL problem -- "Lets make it work" and gave lots of tips and advice in a very orgainized manner. ...

Chapters: Sybil Jason, Sasha Pieterse, Alexander Michaeletos, List of Current Child Actors From South Africa. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 20. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Sybil Jason (born 23 November 1927) is a former motion-picture child actress who, in the late 1930s, was presented as a rival to Shirley Temple. Born as Sybil Jacobson in 1927 in Cape Town, South Africa, she began playing the piano at age two and, a year later, began making public appearances doing impersonations of Maurice Chevalier. She was introduced to the theatre-going public of London by way of her uncle, Harry Jacobson, a then-popular London orchestra leader and also pianist to Gracie Fields. The apex of her career came with a concert performance with Frances Day at London's Palace Theatre. Jason's theatre work led to appearances on radio and phonograph records, and a supporting role in the film Barnacle Bill (1935). Irving Asher, the head of Warner Bros.' London studio, saw Jason's performance in Barnacle Bill and subsequently arranged for her to make a screen test for the studio. The test was a success, resulting in Warner Bros. signing her to a contract. Her American film debut came as the lead in Little Big Shot (1935), directed by Michael Curtiz and co-starring Glenda Farrell, Robert Armstrong, and Edward Everett Horton. Jason followed this with supporting roles opposite some of Warner Bros. most popular stars, including Kay Francis in I Found Stella Parish (1935), Al Jolson in The Singing Kid (1936), Pat O'Brien and Humphrey Bogart in The Great O'Malley (1937), and again with Kay Francis in Comet Over Broadway (1938). Warners also starred her in The Captain's Kid (1937), and four Vitaphone two-reelers filmed in Technicolor: Changing of the Guard, A Day at Santa Anita, Little Pioneer, and Th...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20358603 ...

Islam in Historical Perspective, 1st Edition, organically integrates the history of Islamic societies with a discussion of how Muslim scriptures, laws, moral values and myths have shaped the lives of Muslims from the rise of Islam until today.

In addition to its combined historical and chronological approach, Islam in Historical Perspective offers in-depth discussions of intellectual dialogues/struggles within the Islamic tradition, that will enable students to identify Islam as a social and political force; while also addressing Islamic devotional practices and Muslim structures of everyday life. The goal of this book is to help students develop personal empathy and enthusiasm for the subject of their study, which is absolutely essential for the success of any college course in the humanities.

SASHA'S WAY
This book was a very good book. Icouldn't hardly put the book down.
Sasha was a killer to her heart even though some of the men did need killing.It would have been good to have a Sasha's two to see if she really did stop killing .

SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
I must say this book was very...well...different from what I'm used to reading. And even though this review is late (as in date) I was just able to find it. Since Amamzon was sold out! The cover and the beginning chapter captured my attention, but the story line lacked something...what that is I don't know!

She'll Sneak Up On Ya!
Sasha was not to be played with! A woman scorned from the hurt of her deceased husband(which she made possible), brought out a killer in her that couldn't be tamed. Thank God for her brother! This book was wild, and off the chain, and got you from the very beginning. The way a book is supposed to be!

A great book to read
the novel Sasha's Way by Scott D. Haskins is one of the best book i read. she took writing into a different level. Sasha is so crazy. she makes it her duty that things goes her ways and her way only. who would of thought that the bueatiful and well educated Sasha with a cop as a brother (Rock)would of turn out the way she did. ...
