Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 372 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The adventure begins as Kat Fernando, an orphaned child, homeless and desperately in needed of a home and a job, approaches the Army for sanctuary. She is only seventeen, so she is too young to join without a guardian's signature which is of course impossible. At first the Army won't take her, but she gets a reprieve. She has a lot more going for her than the average teen, she is brilliant with an amazing talent for languages, she is also tall, strong, and athletic. She is also very attractive and captures the attention of a man with a plan. With the help of this man, a major with Military Counterintelligence (M-CI) who chooses to remain in the shadows, she signs a contract and they let her in. Kat becomes a translator and, being quite happy in that job, has no interest in doing anything else, let alone becoming a combat soldier. But the major wasn't attracted by her beauty, he recognized her military potential and secretly begins the long process of training her to work for him as a spy. At the beginning of 1991, Kat has been in the Army for three years and is a corporal when trouble sparks in the Middle East and Kat is deployed to Dharan Saudi Arabia to translate for the Coalition Forces as Desert Storm begins. This is the opportunity that the major has been waiting for and he initiates her first test under fire. She is sent her into the battle zone with five untested men. She is attacked by one of them and is shot in the back as she runs for cover. The major's mission isn't a complete failure, she showed true leadership up until the shooting, and she didn't die. After her recovery, more tests follow, each one more dangerous than the last and her skills improve beyond all expectations. The only problem the major has with her now is that while recovering from the GSW she fell in love with Colonel Harmon Toucksberry. Potential Special Agents like her are not supposed to have relationships. Now the major must try everything he can to ruin it for her. Kat soon becomes an exceptional Special Agent with M-CI, a highly skilled fighter, a combat helicopter pilot, and, following a battle on a mountain top in Honduras, she is a decorated hero. With her new position she is immediately drawn into the investigation of a crime syndicate which is becoming a potential threat to America's national security. Their main business is corporate espionage, political corruption, and murder. Kat is put into the field, undercover on a mission to find an agent from Europol, who is working in deep cover against that crime syndicate in St. Petersburg. Kat's mission is to locate her, find out what information she has and, if possible, bring her out of Russia. The agent is uncooperative and, in her panic, nearly gets Kat killed. The threat to America is increasing exponentially and their targets in Europe are leading them straight to a company in Canada involved in a secret project in the Nevada desert. The threat against the Canadian company becomes real and Kat is sent to protect the CEO from the assassins who were sent to eliminate him. Kat thwarts their efforts and extracts the name of the head of the crime syndicate, but her methods are problematic, forcing her superiors to disavow her and fake her death. An outcast now, Kat plans to continue her fight against the crime boss and along with her M-CI major Paul Delyn concocted a cover identity that will attract the attention of Delph Petrus, a thoroughly evil man. Now as Anita Franco, Kat becomes a gold-digging harlot, a favorite of the tabloids and paparazzo across Europe who have dubbed her the Happy Widow of Ibiza. Her cover is so tantalizing that Petrus can't help himself and invites her in only to find that she has come to kill him. With here success comes pain and sadness, though she survives her ordeal she loses everyone and everything she valued and must live out her life as Anita Franco in a lonely little dacha o.…

Brain, 54/4. - London, John Bale, Sons & Danielsson, Ltd., 1931, 8°, 44 pp., 13 Figs., orig. Broschur. Offprint! "The discovery of spinal metastases from a cerebral glioma in the first case described in this paper led us in 1928 to make a routine examination of the spinal cord in all cases of intracranial tumour, and as a result unexpected lesions of the spinal cord and its membranes have been brought to light. The frequency with which intracranial tumours are accompanied by tumours or other lesions in the spinal cord has in the past been greatly under-estimated. Our cases show clearly that no true indication of the frequency is given by clinical examination alone." Cairns & Russel Dorothy Stuart Russell (1895-1983) After completing her studies, she became a junior doctor at the London Hospital under the pathologist Hubert Maitland Turnbull, where she devoted herself to the systematic study of kidney diseases and obtained her doctorate. Her interest in neuropathology was awakened during two research stays in Boston (with the pathologist Frank Burr Mallory) and Montreal (with the neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield). In 1930 she returned to the London Hospital, where she established neuropathology. After a period in Oxford, where she succeeded Pío del Río Hortega at the Radcliffe Infirmary in 1940, she returned to London in 1944 and became head of the Bernard Baron Institute of Pathology in 1946. This made Russell the first woman ever to hold a leading position in pathology. One of Russell's scientific focuses was research into brain tumours. Among other things, she differentiated primary lymphomas of the brain from the group of malignant gliomas and researched the spread (metastasis) of tumour cells along the fluid spaces of the brain. Her textbook Pathology of tumours of the nervous system, written together with Lucien J. Rubinstein (1924-1990), has remained a standard work of neuropathology. From 1929, Russell worked closely with Hugh Cairns until around 1944, at the Medical Research Council. Sir Hugh William Bell Cairns KBE FRCS (1896-1952) was an Australian neurosurgeon. For most of his life he lived in England. His concern about despatch rider injuries sparked research which led to increased use of motorcycle helmets.…
