Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Reprint. Paperback. In April 1960, Chinese Communist authorities arrested Harry Wu. The son of a well-to-do Shanghai banker, he was cast into a prison labour camp. Though never formally charged or tried, he spent the next nineteen years in a hellish netherworld of grinding labout, systematic starvation, and torture. This book is the powerful story of Harry Wu's imprisonment and survival, of extraordinary acts of courage, and of unforgettable heroism. In stunning detail, Wu recalls life in the prison camps - scavenging barren fields for frogs and snakes, and engaging in elaborate 'food imaging' sessions in the barracks at night. Left for dead in nightmarish solitary confinement, Wu fought back from the brink of insanity, fiercely refusing to relinquish his dignity. A deeply moving story of personal triumph, Bitter Winds bears indelible witness to the power of the human spirit.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Printing. Hardback. Slight marks to edge. Slight foxing to end inside covers. Blue cloth with green and blue lettering. Our purpose in the book is to give and overview of present, and to some extent past, practices of food aquaculture the world over, within our language and subject to the following constraints. We do not wish to speculate excessively about what might be done if certain incipient technologies and scientific hunches were advanced and perfected. We can, of course, only report what is available in the literature and what workers in the field are willing to tell us. It must be understood that some aquaculture operations are highly competitive, purely profit-oriented ventures and that even scientists in them consider some facets of what they do their secrets, which are not to be published or otherwise devulged. We have restricted ourselves to food species and to some mention of their foods, respectively. For reasons of space and unity we have omitted in our treatment ornamental or industrial living aquatic resources, such as pearls or aquarium fishes or marine colloids from red and brown algae.

Cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Few World War II stories are more gripping than those fought behind enemy lines by spies, underground members and special forces. In his latest collection, Daring Missions of World War II, popular author and distinguished historian William Breuer bring to light largely unknown stories of behind-the-scenes bravery and covert victories that helped the Allies win critical victories both on the ground and in the air. Here are more than seventy tales of espionage, sabotage, and derring-do, including thrilling accounts of "impossible" rescues, ingenious secret networks, and high-stakes U.S. Ranger missions within enemy territory. Vivid, fast-paced, and dramatic, this book introduces you to the heroes and heroines who risked their lives for victory.
