This book provides an overview of the fundamentals and reference
values for Ca stable isotope research, as well as current
analytical methodologies including detailed instructions for sample
preparation and isotope analysis. As such, it introduces readers to
the different fields of application, including low-temperature
mineral precipitation and biomineralisation, Earth surface
processes and global cycling, high-temperature processes and
cosmochemistry, and lastly human studies and biomedical
applications. The current state of the art in these major areas is
discussed, and open questions and possible future directions are
identified. In terms of its depth and coverage, the current work
extends and complements the previous reviews of Ca stable isotope
geochemistry, addressing the needs of graduate students and
advanced researchers who want to familiarize themselves with Ca
stable isotope research.
Based on the true story of Martin Schiller, a child survivor of the
Holocaust, this gripping memoir describes the unfolding horror of
the Nazi genocide seen through the eyes of a child. "Menek"
(Schiller's childhood nickname) was six-years-old when the Nazis
invaded Poland, and his family fled eastward from their native
Tarnobrzeg. He was nine when he and his family were interned as
slave laborers at the Skarzysko concentration camp, where his
father perished. As the Russian army advanced, Menek and his
brother were deported to Buchenwald, where Menek survived with the
help of a sympathetic Block Elder (a German political prisoner) who
placed him in a barrack for Russian POWs. The story of his journey
continues after liberation, with their harrowing escape from
postwar Poland; the brothers' travels through war-ravaged Germany
to find their mother; and the anxiety of the DP camps where the
family must decide between Israel or America. This memoir covers
the now-emblematic features of a survivor's journey both during and
after the war with the intimacy of a young boy's point-of-view,
recalling his own thoughts and reactions to events as he tries to
make sense of an irrational world.
