Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

BBC mini-series with Jane Lapotaire in the title role. The
programme chronicles the work of scientific pioneer Marie Curie as
she conducts her research into radioactivity, makes the famous
discovery of Radium and wins Nobel Prizes for both Physics and
Chemistry. The programme also looks at key events that affected the
soon-to-be famous revolutionary including the devastating death of
her husband (Nigel Hawthorne) and her subsequent controversial
affairs.
For those men and women who served in Vietnam and are curious as to
what the Navy did there. For Vietnam veteran families and friends.
For the young and old who want to know more about that particularly
turbulent period from 1968-71, both here at home and in Vietnam.
This is a memoir that combines hundreds of stories and memories
into a narrative about a young man who begins his story at the
draft board in Houston, and ends it on his last day of active duty
in Seattle, and all that happened in between. It captures the mood
of the young people of the day, while following the maturation of a
green Naval officer into a confident Vietnam veteran. Essentially a
view of daily life in the Navy of 40 years ago, it is abundant in
characters, places and events that challenge the imagination.
