Christopher Mouse

After being sold to an unscrupulous pet store owner, a young mouse lives with several owners and has many adventures, before ending up with an appreciative family.

"Tell me a story, Daddy Dodd," my daughter would say, and my father would. From the moment she could talk, she loved to ask for stories, and that is how the world of Christopher Mouse began. Christopher Mouse is a field mouse living under a large rock in the middle of a sprawling meadow. The books follow Christopher Mouse through the meadow as he makes new friends, deals with predators, floods, fear and success, and helps make the world a little better along the way. In this book, Christopher Mouse saves Mr. Hedgehog from Mr. Fox. Mr. Hedgehog returns the favor by improving Christopher Mouse's burrow. Along the way, they become friends and set the stage for many stories to come. I wanted to capture these childhood stories and share them with other children because they have helped my daughter frame many real-world struggles and deal with fear, anxiety, friendships, and morals. After one of the first big floods in Houston, she looked outside and exclaimed that "the Barn Rats had made a huge mess overnight" and there would be some major cleaning up to do. The story she was referencing helped her give the flood a context and, just like the barnyard, she knew that the damage would be repaired, and order restored eventually, and, in the meantime, she was not afraid. But that story comes later. For now, smell the clover and take a short trip through the meadow with Christopher Mouse and Mr. Hedgehog.

With the delightful feel of a lost (and found) classic, this is the story of a rather extraordinary mouse who, through the force of will and good luck, finds his own small way in a very large world. Illustrations.

Many hundreds of thousands suffer spinal cord injuries leading to loss of sensation and motor function in the body below the point of injury. Spinal cord research has made some significant strides towards new treatment methods, and is a focus of many laboratories worldwide. In addition, research on the involvement of the spinal cord in pain and the abilities of nervous tissue in the spine to regenerate has increasingly been on the forefront of biomedical research in the past years. The Spinal Cord, a collaboration with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, is the first comprehensive book on the anatomy of the mammalian spinal cord. Tens of thousands of articles and dozens of books are published on this subject each year, and a great deal of experimental work has been carried out on the rat spinal cord. Despite this, there is no comprehensive and authoritative atlas of the mammalian spinal cord. Almost all of the fine details of spinal cord anatomy must be searched for in journal articles on particular subjects. This book addresses this need by providing both a comprehensive reference on the mammalian spinal cord and a comparative atlas of both rat and mouse spinal cords in one convenient source. The book provides a descriptive survey of the details of mammalian spinal cord anatomy, focusing on the rat with many illustrations from the leading experts in the field and atlases of the rat and the mouse spinal cord. The rat and mouse spinal cord atlas chapters include photographs of Nissl stained transverse sections from each of the spinal cord segments (obtained from a single unfixed spinal cord), detailed diagrams of each of the spinal cord segments pictured, delineating the laminae of Rexed and all other significant neuronal groupings at each level and photographs of additional sections displaying markers such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), calbindin, calretinin, choline acetlytransferase, neurofilament protein (SMI 32), enkephalin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN). The text provides a detailed account of the anatomy of the mammalian spinal cord and surrounding musculoskeletal elements The major topics addressed are: development of the spinal cord; the gross anatomy of the spinal cord and its meninges; spinal nerves, nerve roots, and dorsal root ganglia; the vertebral column, vertebral joints, and vertebral muscles; blood supply of the spinal cord; cytoarchitecture and chemoarchitecture of the spinal gray matter; musculotopic anatomy of motoneuron groups; tracts connecting the brain and spinal cord; spinospinal pathways; sympathetic and parasympathetic elements in the spinal cord; neuronal groups and pathways that control micturition; the anatomy of spinal cord injury in experimental animals; The atlas of the rat and mouse spinal cord has the following features: Photographs of Nissl stained transverse sections from each of 34 spinal segments for the rat and mouse; Detailed diagrams of each of the 34 spinal segments for rat and mouse, delineating the laminae of Rexed and all other significant neuronal groupings at each level. ; Alongside each of the 34 Nissl stained segments, there are additional sections displaying markers such as acetylcholinesterase, calbindin, calretinin, choline acetlytransferase, neurofilament protein (SMI 32), and neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN) All the major motoneuron clusters are identified in relation to the individual muscles or muscle groups they supply.
