Late 19th century, the Delaware coast. The Civil War is over, but slavery has not died. Heiress Elizabeth Harrison leaps from a slave ship where she has been held captive. Jack Light, a surfman with the Lifesaving Service, pulls her to safety and at her insistence hides her until she can return to her home. But LeFrank, the captain of the ship, is bent on selling her to gain control of her fortune. Until now violent storms were all Jack had to fear, but he finds that human will, for good or ill, is stronger than the oceans of the world. He betrays the trust by which he lives to do what he thinks is right. Elizabeth has spent her life in study and refinement, but like Jack now finds herself, an innocent, in a world where men will do anything to get what they want. There are startling revelations, intensely dramatic passages, and we meet Jack's service mates, children from orphan trains, lawmen and miscreants. The surfman lives in Winslow Homer's paintings and history books, but he is hidden in fiction.

Sixty years ago, G. Fanconi published a paper entitled: "Familiiire infantile pemiziosaartige Aniimie (pemizioses Blutbild und Konstitu- tion)", in which he reported that this type of severe aplastic anemia represents a hereditary disease distinct from other pancytopenias of childhood (Fanconi 1927). Later this syndrome was named Fan- coni anemia (FA; van Leeuwen 1933). A more recent study of the genetics of FA confirmed that the syndrome is inherited in an au- tosomal recessive manner (Schroeder et al. 1976). Prenatal diagno- sis in FA families showed that about 25% of fetuses are affected (Auerbach et al. 1985, 1986). In 1964, Schroeder et al. discovered high frequencies of chro- mosomal aberrations in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with FA. Schuler et al. (1969) reported that cells from FA patients are particularly sensitive to the chromosome-breaking activity or clastogenic effect of a polyfunctional alkylating agent. Since that time, studies of baseline and induced frequencies of chromosomal aberrations have been used for the identification of patients with FA. There is now a large body of data concerning the possible mechanism(s) underlying the hypersensitivity of FA cells to DNA cross-linking agents, the biochemical basis for which is still unknown. Complementation analysis, using cells from different FA pa- tients, has demonstrated genetic heterogeneity in the syndrome.

Die menschliche Gesellschaft ist durch moderne wissenschaftliche Verfahren der Klimamodellierung in der Lage, Vorhersagen des zukunftigen Klimas zu treffen. Ebenso lassen sich anhand der aktuellen Klimaforschung moegliche menschliche Ursachen fur Klimaanderungen ausmachen. Damit wird das Klima im gesellschaftlichen Bewusstsein zur Sphare menschlicher Handlungsfolgen. Menschliches "Klimahandeln" wird somit notwendig. Dabei berucksichtigt werden muss sowohl die Risikolage durch unwunschbare Klimawirkungen als auch die Verhaltnismassigkeit vorgeschlagener Massnahmen oder zu entwickelnder Strategien in der Klimavorsorge. Diese Fragen versucht die vorliegende Studie zu klaren. Dabei wird eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme des wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisstands aus den relevanten Disziplinen, eine Beurteilung des methodischen Instrumentariums der Klimaforschung und eine UEberprufung der in Anspruch genommenen Grundsatze, Ziele und Strategien der Klimapolitik vorgenommen.

When Boston ship line heiress Elizabeth Harrison shuns marrying her deceased father's partner, former slaver Guillaume LeFrank, he decides to sell her. After Elizabeth is abducted aboard a company ship, she stumbles across a list of thirty other women he has sold. Determined to find the women, Elizabeth jumps from the ship and is rescued by a surfman. In that moment, Elizabeth transforms her destiny-and hopefully that of Anna Ulter, the first woman on the list. Anna Ulter has nothing else to live for but her daughter. It has been fifteen years since she moved to Boston to pursue a career on the stage, was duped by LeFrank, sold to Agustin Medina, and taken to Cuba. Now Anna is resigned to a life of slavery-until she sees a ship named Anna Ulter without any idea that Elizabeth, with help from several others, has made it her mission to save her from a horrific fate. Anna Ulter shares the sweeping historical tale of one woman's determination to rescue thirty women enslaved by an evil man.

After founding one of the fastest-growing churches in the country and travelling to four continents to meet with exceptional leaders, Gregory Schroeder began a decade of loss. Cancer took energy. Idealism withered while listening to a month of horror stories in Rwanda. The drive for success fueled burnout. Vocational rejection, abandonment and isolation ended community. A personal fall. Divorce. Nine eye surgeries. When hope is gone, how is a life restored? "In our longing for security we have put God in the box of predictable expectations. God does not live there. He may be faithful, but he is not predictable. Once my own box had been shattered by failures and truths that could not be contained, I looked again. These are the ten sermons I never preached." (From the Introduction) Ten Sermons I Never Preached is for people who were told everything is certain, and discovered it is not. It is for those who were told nothing is certain, and hope something is. After loss, it is possible to discover conviction and hope again.

R1,321 Discovery Miles 13 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Africa would benefit from comprehensive United States Africa Command (USAFRICOM) leadership in international and interagency efforts to improve air traffic safety focused on a single continent-wide system. Wide ranging national interests, priorities, and economic capabilities are visible in systems across the continent. As a result, while air traffic systems in some nations are fully on par with North America and Europe, others are virtually non-existent. Unfortunately, overall safety is only as effective as the weakest national system traversed. Both international and US government organizations are currently engaged to improve safety and efficiency across the continent, but disjointed efforts have hampered overall effectiveness. Synchronizing Department of Defense (DoD), interagency, and international organization support fall well within USAFRICOM's unique mission responsibility. By better integrating efforts, USAFRICOM can create a comprehensive air traffic system fostering international transportation, economic growth, and stability benefiting air transportation Africa-wide.

Despite the world's elation at the Arab Spring, shockingly little has changed politically in the Middle East; even frontliners Egypt and Tunisia continue to suffer repression, fixed elections, and bombings, while Syria descends into civil war. But in the midst of it all, a quieter revolution has begun to emerge, one that might ultimately do more to change the face of the region: entrepreneurship. As a seasoned angel investor in emerging markets, Christopher M. Schroeder was curious but skeptical about the future of investing in the Arab world. Travelling to Dubai, Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Istanbul, and even Damascus, he saw thousands of talented, successful, and intrepid entrepreneurs, all willing to face cultural, legal, and societal impediments inherent to their worlds. Equally important, he saw major private equity firms, venture capitalists, and tech companies like Google, Intel, Cisco, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and PayPal making significant bets, despite the uncertainty in the region. Here, he marries his own observations with the predictions of these tech giants to offer a surprising and timely look at the second stealth revolution in the Middle East--one that promises to reinvent it as a center of innovation and progress.

Germany's transition from Nazism to peaceful, if at times reluctant, integration into the western and Soviet spheres during the decade immediately following the Second World War is one of the most remarkable events of the twentieth century. Shattered relations between Germans and their wartime enemies and victims had rendered prospects for peaceful relations between these groups unimaginable, or a dream belonging to the distant future. However, numerous grassroots initiatives found varying degrees of success in fostering reconciliation.

Drawing on underutilized archival materials, To Forget It All and Begin Anew reveals a nuanced mosaic of like-minded people - from Germany and other countries, and from a wide variety of backgrounds and motives - who worked against considerable odds to make right the wrongs of the Nazi era. While acknowledging the enormous obstacles and challenges to reconciliatory work in postwar Germany, Steven M. Schroeder highlights the tangible and lasting achievements of this work, which marked the first steps toward new modes of peaceful engagement and cooperation in Germany and Europe.
