`I was on a train, and a German soldier began shouting at me and poking me in the ribs with his machine gun. I just thought that was it, the game was up . . .' Downed airman Bob Frost faced danger at every turn as he was smuggled out of France and over the Pyrenees. Prisoner of war Len Harley went on the run in Italy, surviving months in hiding and then a hazardous climb over the Abruzzo mountains with German troops hot on his heels. These are just some of the stories told in heart-stopping detail as Monty Halls takes us along the freedom trails out of occupied Europe, from the immense French escape lines to lesser-known routes in Italy and Slovenia. Escaping Hitler features spies and traitors, extraordinary heroism from those who ran the escape routes and offered shelter to escapees, and great feats of endurance. The SAS in Operation Galia fought for forty days behind enemy lines in Italy and then, exhausted and pursued by the enemy, exfiltrated across the Apennine mountains. And in Slovenia Australian POW Ralph Churches and British Les Laws orchestrated the largest successful Allied escape of the entire war. Mixing new research, interviews with survivors and his own experience of walking the trails, Monty brings the past to life in this dramatic and gripping slice of military history.
This insightful book discusses the interaction of sector-specific
regulation and competition policy. In particular, it identifies
emerging trends and reflects on the nature of network regulation in
the energy and telecom industries. Expert contributors examine the
recent European Electronic Communications Code (EECC), as well the
relevant regulatory framework in the electricity and pharmaceutical
sectors. Chapters consider key topics, such as the recent antitrust
investigations concerning the excessive price of off-patent drugs
and the impact of digitalization on the future of network
industries. The book also assesses several examples of the complex
relationship between sector-specific regulation and competition
policy; a relationship constantly swinging between complementarity
and conflict. Providing a comparative analysis of EU competition
policy at both the EU and national levels, this timely book will be
a valuable resource for scholars and students of EU competition
policy. It will also be beneficial for practitioners, specialising
in the regulation of the telecom, energy and pharmaceutical
industries.
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.
Delving into the recent discovery of the brain's immune system, Dr
Monty Lyman reveals the extraordinary implications for our physical
and mental health. Since the birth of modern medicine, we have
fundamentally misunderstood our immune system. Although the brain
and the body have always been treated as separate entities - in
separate hospitals - the science now shows that they are intimately
linked. Startlingly, our body's immune system can access our brain
and directly alter our mental health, changing our mood and
behaviour. This has opened up a new frontier in human health. Drugs
designed to treat arthritis have been found to treat certain kinds
of depression. Incredibly, brushing your teeth properly can reduce
brain inflammation, and thereby reduce the risk of dementia. And we
are now beginning to understand how infections in childhood can
lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders such as tics and
OCD. In The Immune Mind, Dr Monty Lyman explores the fascinating
connection between the mind and the immune system, as well as the
body's microbiome. A researcher in the cutting-edge field of
immunopsychiatry, Lyman argues we need to change the way we treat
disease and the way we see ourselves. For the first time, we have a
new approach to medicine that treats the whole human being.

From Don"I truly thought my reports and journals might be of
interest to GM to be used as a training tool for new officers. But
the idea was rejected due to security personnel being hired by
outside agencies. So I put it in book form. Some will find it
degrading and others may find it interesting. Most have no idea
what takes place in a manufacturing plant, (up to now). Whichever,
category you fall into I'm sure you'll feel you got your money's
worth."Enjoy, Don Montie
