Mouse Trap
In the big bad world of cyberspace, those we little know have found a secret home. They are wallflowers and wolves, certifiable and sane, emerging suddenly from the hidden places. Expectations are high; the dangers immeasurable and chat rooms bring them together with the click of a mouse. Mousetrap will make you think twice before logging on again. "Stacey suddenly found herself flat on her back; wrists and ankles tied to stakes. A moment later, she could see the pole come smashing down; the ancient' symbols rushing at her, she recognized them all at once, and shrieked her last; Stacey's head snapped off at the neck."
Mouse Trap Snaps
Mouse Trap Snaps explores the surprising history and mechanical ingenuity behind the ubiquitous 1894 mousetrap spring. More than just a pest control device, this simple invention offers a window into the history of technology and our ongoing efforts to manage rodent populations. The book uniquely blends historical context with mechanical engineering principles, revealing how this seemingly mundane object reflects broader social and environmental challenges. Did you know the rise of cities in the late 19th century significantly increased rodent problems, creating a need for more effective traps? The book also highlights how the spring's design showcases clever application of force and material science. The book begins by examining the historical need for improved pest control, then moves into the evolution of trapping devices. It dissects the 1894 mousetrap spring's mechanics and materials, and explores design variations and adaptations. Archival research and patent documentation ground the analysis, while engineering principles help explain the trap's function. The book offers a unique perspective on the environmental impact and ethical considerations of pest management.
The Devil's Mousetrap

The Devil's Mousetrap approaches the thought of three colonial New England divines--Increase Mather, Jonathan Edwards, and Edward Taylor--from the perspective of literary theory. Author Linda Munk focuses on the background of these men's ideas and on the sources from which they drew, both directly and indirectly, in framing their theology. She notes that the language used in the pulpit by Mather, Edwards, and Taylor is full of allusions to the Bible and Apocrypha, to Puritan treatises, and to post-biblical exegesis, Jewish and Christian. Munk proceeds to unpack many allusions that have, for the most part, proven to be unclear to contemporary readers, in order to provide essential insights into the construction of Puritan theology.
