In this book—now in full color for the first time—Robin returns to one of her favorite things: teaching new computer users how to use and enjoy the Macintosh!

Sit down at your Mac and let Robin introduce you to its basic features.
Follow Robin’s step-by-step directions, and you’ll soon feel comfortable, confident, and able to do just about anything you want to do on your Mac.
From using the mouse to surfing the web, from menu commands to keyboard shortcuts, you’ll acquire exciting new computer skills—and you’ll have fun in the process.

To the Mac faithful, that's the lovely sound of the system starting up -- soon to be followed by the initial smiling computer icon.
Unfortunately, as with many things in life, sometimes bad things happen.
Expecting to receive a greeting from your familiar, cheerful icon, you hear chimes of doom and a frowning computer appears.
Have no fear!
Ms. Robin Williams, expert Mac author, is here!
The last chapter of The Little Mac Book quickly runs through possible scenarios as to why your
machine would be unhappy.
But reading The Little Mac Book is like taking preventive medicine.
Williams spends the first 204 + pages of The Little Mac Book introducing readers to the fascinating inner workings of the Macintosh system.
With a greater understanding of the Mac's files and folders, you may never come to meet either the Sad

Mac or -- more ominously -- the Dead Mac.
With a style both chatty and informative, Williams has crafted a guide blissfully free of heavy-handed
techno-garble.
Instead, she provides a tour simple enough for the newest Mac owner and complete enough to teach experienced users a thing or two.

The Little Mac Book used to be really little—way back in 1989.
In 100 pages, it told you everything you needed to know.
Th e Mac itself was also little in those days.
Over the years, as the Mac got bigger and more powerful, The Little Mac Book got bigger and heavier—it finally morphed into an 850-page behemoth, and that doesn’t even include information on iTunes,

iPhoto, and the other cool Mac applications!
But here is a “little” book again with just the very basic information to get you started using your new Macintosh.
Of course, being little means there is a lot less information!
This book should get you started.
When you feel the need to know more, check out Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series for general Mac stuff , and Cool Mac Apps, third edition for detailed directions on how to use all the really fun stuff like iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, idvd, iWeb, GarageBand, and more.
Here’s to a grand adventure!
Robin

Chapters are rich in examples drawn from the lives and careers of nota ble psychologists, examining such issues as birth order, psychopatholo gy, and intellectual precocity. Of particular interest are chapters ex ploring what aspects of the sociocultural context are most conducive t o the emergence of illustrious psychologists and how these sociocultur al conditions-including political events, economic disturbances, or cu ltural values-affect not only the magnitude of achievement but also th e very nature of that achievement. The findings reviewed lead to sugge stions about how best to educate and train both undergraduate psycholo gy majors and graduate students in psychology. This book will be a use ful resource for all psychologists, scientists, and historians who are willing to ponder the provocative overlap between psychology, science , and history.

The hardy, multipurpose Dominique chickens that came to the New World with the Pilgrims and later traveled in pioneer saddlebags to help settle the West were once too numerous to count; by 1990 a mere 500 hens survived. This is but a single example of the diminishing diversity of farm animals: half of once-common livestock breeds are endangered, others are already extinct. The need to preserve farm animal diversity is increasingly urgent, says the author of this definitive book on endangered breeds of livestock and poultry. Farmyard animals may hold critical keys for our survival, Jan Dohner warns, and with each extinction, genetic traits of potentially vital importance to our agricultural future or to medical progress are forever lost. This comprehensive book features: complete information on the history, characteristics, qualities, and traits of 138 endangered livestock breeds (goats, sheep, swine, cattle, horses, other equines) and 53 poultry breeds (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese); where these breeds may be seen today; the degree of rarity of each breed in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada; information on feral livestock populations; 160 color photographs and over 80 black and white photos and historical illustrations
