"Sooner or later they'll catch you," could be the theme of this
book on murderers, rapists, and other bad people who have been
chased down and brought to justice, like John Wilkes Booth, or
buried as an "unknown," like young Joey Spears, in the forword, or
in some other way handled, like Bonnie and Clyde, who were shot to
pieces or Ted Bundy, who died in the electric chair. It is
difficult to even imagine why an unthinking parole board will turn
these killers loose to murder and rape and kill again, but it
happens often. And, please be careful out there, it will happen
again.
It was the duty of every captured prisoner of war to attempt to
escape. Escaping meant the enemy had to tie up time and manpower to
recapture the escapee. This meant that even as a prisoner of war,
you still had a chance to effect the outcome. You were, in fact,
still in the battle. If you were recaptured you generally suffered
a few days in the "cooler," in solitary confinement. Until Adolph
Hitler sent down orders to execute escaped prisoners who have been
recaptured, escaping was a battle of wits. Usually you lost and
were returned to prison. Sometimes you died. But occasionally you
made it all the way home. The stories in this book are about
prisoners who refused to stop trying, who became thorns in the side
of their enemy. This book, dedicated to them, tells their story.

There are seven women who will never be forgotten, according to
this author. They are the epitome of everything in entertainment,
in politics, in medicine, and in charity and good will. Some became
wealthy, some spent a life in poverty, but each one of the seven
accomplished great feats in science and leadership. And in other
fields such as entertainment, in the case of Marilyn Monroe. Should
she be in a book alongside Mother Teresa and Joan of Arc? This
akthor feels she should. You decide.
Lt.Col. Charles S. Hudson,the most decorated bombardier in World
War Two, lived a full life of adventure, danger, and challenge.
During his exciting life, he was an athlete, a professional boxer,
an oil driller, an exotic animal hauler, involved in a major prison
break (from outside) and a defendant in a federal drug trial,
something the resulted in him being on a mob "hit list." Charmin'
Charlie Hudson never slowed down, never worried, and lived his life
to the fullest.
The Indianapolis Speedway Race is the most exciting one of all,
held on the largest track in America, with the most in-attendance
fans, and the largest TV audience of any sporting event anywhere,
anytime. It is a dangerous, challenging race that is the most
important one of all to win for the drivers. If you win at Indy,
your future is assured. You are famous. You will get sponsors and
you will be paid to advertise products. An Indy winner is set for
life in this sport. Fans know this, and cheer on their favorite
drivers. But this race is dangerous, and many drivers have lost
their lives attempting to win at Indy. They seem somehow to go
"over the line" at Indy, as Rick Mears does in this book, in an
effort to win. Real fans want them to try harder and harder to win,
but real fans don't want any driver or spectator to be hurt, or
worse. So real fans cheer when Mears goes high into dangerous
territory on the track, rather than low where the risk is less.
Every fan should see this race in person at least once.
David Zaid survived the extermination of the Jews in Poland ordered
by cruel German dictator Adolph Hitler. He went on to become a hero
in the Israeli army. His voice is now stilled, but with this book
he continues to speak out against the holocaust-deniers who insist
that the atrocities, the death camps, the routine executions of
Jews, never really happened. Zaid lived through it, lost his entire
family to an uncaring German firing squad, and knows the truth. And
if he ever questioned his own courage while hiding from the
murderous Nazis and the equally murderous Polish farmers in a
Polish forest, the questions were answered in the Israeli wars
where he fought in hand to hand combat for his new homeland. He
survived once again and saw his final dream come true when he, his
wife and two sons, became citizens in the United States, his final
and most beloved homeland.
Bridges hanging on wires? Tunnels under rivers? Raceways two miles
long? A football field that has a roof? A dam that holds back a
raging river, and provides power? These and more were thought to be
impossible, but they were built by some of the very few
construction genius builders born every generation who refuse to
believe in "impossible" projects, and go ahead and build them. In
this book are the first, when today's construction science was not
available and when most people felt such massive projects couldn't
be done. They were done. Man has landed on the moon, but this was
the first time. And they built a great arch. And they carved a
mountain top. And more.
So that we may see the beauty of God 's grace, through author Ross
R. McGuckin God wrote a series of twenty-three letters to humanity
addressing timeless life issues. In "God Speaks," McGuckin shares
these letters, which illustrate God 's love for mankind.
Touching on subjects in this life and beyond, God Speaks
addresses a wide range of questions that most people often ask: Who
is God?Why do bad things happen?Does God love me?What is my life 's
purpose?Why do I get angry or depressed?Why does love hurt?Do I
need to go to church?How can I tell the truth from a lie?How do I
know if someone truly loves me?
"God Speaks" answers the truth of who, what, where, and why God
exist. Also redefines the purpose of his church and brings new
meaning to our responsibilities to maintain moral fiber. The letter
's express a personal relationship, between you and your
creator.
The archaeology of early Rome has progressed rapidly and
dramatically over the last century; most recently with the
discovery of the shrine of Aeneas at Lavinium and the reports of
the walls of the Romulan city discovered on the city slopes of the
Palatine Hill. The Archaeology of Early Rome and Latium presents
the most recent discoveries in Rome and its surroundings: princely
tombs,inscriptions and patrician houses are included in a complete
overview of the subject and the controversies surrounding it. This
comprehensively illustrated study fills the need for an accessible
English guide to these new discoveries, and in preparation, the
author interviewed most of the leading figures in current research
on the early periods of Rome.

Anlasslich eines Besuches bei Sir RussELL BROCK in London im Herbst
1956 und wahrend eines Aufenthaltes seines Schulers Donald Ross im
Fruhjahr 1958 in Marburg a. d. Lahn lernte ich eine
Untersuchungsmethode des Herzens und des Kreislaufes kennen, die
mich durch ihre Einfachheit und Folgerichtigkeit und durch die
hieraus sich ergebenden Schlusse und Entscheidungen sehr
beeindruckte und uberzeugte. In dieser Auffassung wurde ich durch
die Zustimmung bestarkt, die das Untersuchungsvorgehen von DONALD
Ross bei den in der Kardiologie erfahrenen Internisten unseres
Marburger Arbeitskreises, den Herren H. E. BOCK, G. SCHETTLER, P.
SCHOLMERICH und E. STEIN, fand. Das Prinzip der von Sir RussELL
BROCK und seinen Schulern geubten Unter. suchungstechnik besteht -
kurz gesagt - darin, die mit den menschlichen Sinnen erfassten und
durch uberlegungen gedeuteten Symptome als wichtigste Grundlage fur
die Diagnostik der Herzerkrankungen zu betrachten und mit diesen
Befunden, deren Feststellung jedem Arzt moglich ist, die Ergebnisse
aller technischen Unter* suchungsverfahren (Rontgenuntersuchung,
Elektrokardiographie, Phonokardio* graphie, Herzkatheterismus,
Angiokardiographie u. a.) in Einklang zu bringen. In einer Zeit der
uberwertung angeblich objektiver Registrierverfahren ist, glaube
ich, eine Erneuerung und Betonung der fruheren klassischen
Untersuchungen des Herzens im Rahmen der gesamten Herzdiagnostik
ausserst nutzlich. Zusammen mit dem Springer. Verlag bin ich Herrn
DONALD Ross sehr dank* bar, dass er unserer Bitte entsprochen hat,
diese Einfuhrung in die moderne Dia* gnostik, die bescheiden als "A
Surgeons' Guide to Cardiac Diagnosis" betitelt ist, zu verfassen.
Dem vorliegenden Bandchen soll ein zweites uber Indikationen und
Operationsverfahren der angeborenen und erworbenen Herzerkrankungen
folgen.
The clinical specialty of adult nephrology has enjoyed spectacular
growth during the past three decades. Such a statement is no less
true for pediatric nephrology. This book stands in quiet testimony
to that fact. Practitioners of pediatric nephrology are now
concerned with the diagnosis and treat ment of young patients with
a widened spectrum of primary and sec ondary diseases of the
kidneys and urinary tract, hypertension and disorders of water,
electrolyte and acid-base metabolism. Their science, deriving from
an exciting blend of physiology, morphology, pathology, immunology,
biochemistry, microbiology, genetics and pharmacology, must also
include an understanding of human developmental biology an insight
that colleagues who practice adult nephrology require to a somewhat
lesser extent. Dramatic, continuing advances in our understanding
of the pathogen esis, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of
kidney diseases has led to a cascade of books and monographs on
various aspects of the subject. Nevertheless, in view of the clear
emergence of pediatric nephrology as a distinct medical specialty,
it is most appropriate that a practical book, which focuses almost
exclusively on approaches to the evaluation and diagnosis of young
patients with kidney disease and related disorders, should appear.
In that sense this book is unique. It provides an easily
accessible, practical compendium or guide to the clinical
investigation of all facets of kidney disease in children. Its
special and unique emphasis is directed toward various approaches
to the evaluation of such patients and the interpretation of
associated laboratory or radiographical data."
This is the true story of the famous Lost Dutchman treasure as this
author sees it, and offers a completely new theory on the location
of the massive treasure. This location is within a stone's throw of
the thousands of tourists who visit the forbidding Superstition
Mountain area every year to have fun and to "find the Lost
Dutchman." For the past one hundred years or so, they have no idea
how close they might have been. A map? Yes. Read the book. The hand
drawn map created by an old timer who says he has seen the gold
with his own eyes is available, and almost free.
Bigger, brighter and better than ever, Let's Go, 3rd Edition, is a
series for children who are just beginning their study of English.
It combines a carefully controlled, grammar-based syllabus with
practical language. Functional dialogues, interactive games, and
pair work activities foster a lively and motivating classroom
environment.
