Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Hitler's Crawlin' Coffin' was an eighteen-ton M-4 high-speed artillery tractor that crept up out of the surf onto Dog-Green Omaha Beach hauling a 90mm anti-aircraft gun and its crew for the 110th AAA Battalion during the D-Day invasion of Europe. The 110th AAA Battalion participated in all five maj…or European campaigns of WWII and witnessed many of its historical events. After fighting in the Battle of the Beaches during the D-Day invasion of the continent, it was involved in the Battle of the Hedgerows and was active in the breakout of St. Lo. The battalion helped cover the advancement of the 30th Infantry Division across France, was with the initial troops that entered Paris and protected the city against German bombing attacks that night and for some time afterward. In addition, a number of the battalion volunteered and drove for the Red Ball Express, saw and shot at some of the first V-1 and V-2 rockets and saw and shot at some of the first German ME-262 Turbojet aircraft to fly across the sky. The battalion became part of the so-called Palace Guard chosen to protect First Army Headquarters at Spa, Belgium against aerial attacks and later gained distinction when it fought in the Battle of the Bulge and participated in the protection of the Remagen Bridge. In its remarkable eleven month wartime career - from the initial assault onto the Normandy Beaches to the drive to the Weser River in Germany - the 110th AAA Gun Battalion (Mbl) would hold the distinction that no objective defended by it was ever damaged by aerial attack. During the course of the war the personnel and weapons of the 110th AAA Gun Battalion was used for everything from antiaircraft duty to field artillery duty, anti-tank duty, infantry duty, and as a trucking company. 'During this period there were a lot of acts of individual heroism,' noted Lt. Col. William F. Curran, in one of its many citations. 'This battalion does not claim to have stopped enormous armored drives or gigantic infantry penetrations but in presenting a determined front to the advance columns of the enemy it slowed down the advance columns of the enemy enough to check it until reinforcements in strength could arrive and repel the enemy.' During those eleven months the battalion participated in 601 aerial engagements destroying 65 enemy planes and was in 22 ground engagements destroying 11 enemy tanks, 80 armored and motor vehicles, and innumerable gun positions, bunkers, bridges, ammunition dumps, and supply dumps, while greatly facilitating the advance of front line Infantry. The battalion received five Campaign Streamers: Normandy with arrowhead, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. What's more, the 110th AAA became the first 90mm Gun Battalion to shot down an enemy aircraft on French soil during the D-Day invasion and while performing anti-tank duty during the Battle of the Bulge single-handedly held off a unit of Jochen Peiper's 6th Panzers to prevent it from getting desperately needed petrol outside Spa, Belgium. All of this action is supported by commendations and military record. Although Driving Hitler's Crawlin' Coffin begins with one man's recruitment into the 110th AAA during the war, it shows how his situation was typical of all of its members and quickly evolves into a history of the entire battalion based on government and military record - including daily reports and after action reports, commendations and citations - along with diaries, letters, journals, memoirs, and interviews of many of its members. Greatly detailed and expertly researched, Driving Hitler's Crawlin' Coffin covers the battalion from basic training at Camp Edwards on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, to advanced training at Camp Kilmer, NJ, through their experiences of going to England on the Queen Mary, training and preparation in England, to the details of the D-Day invasion, to St. Lo, the Battle of the Bulge, the Remagen Bridge, and Crossing the Rh.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hippocrates, the father of medicine, practiced and taught on the Greek island of Kos about 460 years BC. A descendant of the tree under which he taught still stands. Let us imagine that the tree symbolizes the profession of medicine. The roots-the ethical and scientific basis of medicine-are deterio…rating, and the leaves-the physicians-are vanishing! Good doctors are currently forced to work in a bad system. They have lost control of their actions and destiny. This, in turn, is breaking the compassionate spirit of the strongest among them and is driving some doctors out of the profession they love. Dr. Vance Connelly, whose wife died recently, moves to a retirement community. He leaves each day at 5:00 AM for the internationally recognized Greystone University Hospital to teach medical students, house officers, and fellows. He writes for the remainder of his eight-hour workday. He formerly chaired the Department of Medicine, but continues to work despite his age of eighty-five. This book tracks the careers of two of his former house officers. One seems to be the only doctor left who fits the definition of a truly professional doctor. The other wanders far from his training and succumbs to greed. The book describes a behind-the-scenes view of certain aspects of the famous teaching hospital; a look at life in a retirement home; the lives of two very different doctors who trained with Dr. Vance Connelly; and, most importantly, the love affair between Vance and his wife Jennifer. St. Simons Island (January 16, 2005).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lyle Rowe has just returned to his home in Meridian, Ohio, after four years of military service as an Air Forces meteorologist during World War II. He is enjoying his freedom from the service and being home with family and old friends and is planning a short hiatus before resuming civilian employmen…t.He has expressed his intentions to rejoin and marry a beautiful English girl, Chrystene White, whom he met and fell in love with while in England during the early days of World War II. Military demands on both Lyle and Chrystie kept them physically far apart for over three years. A resumption of their love affair is not a foregone certainty, although Lyle still has sincere affection for Chrystie and he believes she has reciprocal affections for him. Within days of his return to Meridian, Lyle is reintroduced to an unusually-attractive girl, Marge Schaff, whom he met while on furlough two years earlier. At that earlier meeting, Marge was spending serious time with Lyle's best friend, Rob Hilfer, who was deeply interested in her, but she was romantically inclined toward another young man, serving in the Navy. Lyle approaches Marge and she agrees to a dance date at a popular dance place and then to a second date four days later. Quickly, Lyle finds himself hopelessly attracted to and falling in love with this beguiling beauty. His intended short hiatus extends to a month as Lyle considers and procrastinates about meteorological positions in Chicago and New York, a theatre management job in Marion, Ohio, and a sporting-goods store business venture with his friend Rob Hilfer. He also agonizes and procrastinates about his fading romantic affair with Chrystene White in England. As Marge shows limited signs of reciprocal interest, Lyle finally accepts the theatre management position in Marion because it enables him to return home frequently and spend one evening each week with her. To his dismay, he soon learns that Marge has serious concerns about the incompatibility of evening theatre operations and a happy family life. Their relationship begins to cool and Lyle is unable to find other suitable employment. The sporting-goods store partnership must be deferred for at least a year because of inability to obtain full lines of quality sporting goods. Things drift, unresolved, for a while then Marge, who has severed her relations with her Navy suitor and has been reserving most of her time for Lyle, considers a party date with another pre-war boy friend. It leads to testy conversations and eventually to a major crisis in their relationship. A week of deep anxiety by both Lyle and Marge leads to a tearful reunion and a happy resumption of their romance followed by plans for an autumn wedding. Lyle returns to Meridian to work with two friends as a tree trimmer. The three friends bolt the tree-service employer and form an independent tree business of their own in hopes of improving their incomes. From its inception, the new tree business achieves only limited success. Plans go forward for an autumn wedding as the tree business continues to flounder. The wedding day approaches and Lyle considers postponing things for a few months, but Marge argues to go forward, insisting that there must be a way to happiness and they can find it together. Marge prevails and, despite the dismal financial outlook, they are married and off to a happy honeymoon in the Smoky Mountains.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The story of this family takes the reader through two hundred years of turbulent history and daily living. One member of the clan was Pálóczi Horváth Ádám, a staunch Hungarian patriot, collector of Hungarian folk songs at the turn of the 18th century, who believed that women should be entitled to an… equal education with men, to the right to hold office and to have representatives in Parliament. His contemporary, Dukai Takách Judit was one of the first Hungarian female poets. Other illustrious members included writers, a diplomat, a state minister, and a mathematician. One fought in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Several died in the two world wars; many lived through the dismemberment of Hungary after World War I. The next generation made it through World War II, the Nazi occupation of the country, the Communist takeover of Eastern Europe, and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Many are still living in Hungary; others have left the country to seek better lives in England and America. Their personal stories bring alive the realities of life behind the headlines of history. The story of the family in the 20th century is told through the 'portraits' of seven family members, spanning three generations. Pálóczi Horváth Lajos (author Dalma's father) was a writer, collector of folk songs (like Ádám) and champion of the rights of the peasants and industrial workers. He was a man of cosmopolitan education who spoke nine languages, but had a fierce loyalty to his country. He saw both Nazi Germany and Soviet Communism as equally dangerous to Hungary. After the Communist takeover of Hungary he was arrested on trumped up charges of subversion and served five years in prison. The freedom fighters of 1956 released him, but he did not leave his country even after the ruthless suppression of the 1956 Revolution. Hevesi Halász Laura, wife of Pálóczi Horváth Lajos and Dalma's mother, was born in the southern part of pre-World War I Hungary, an area assigned to Romania by the Treaty of Trianon. After World War I her widowed mother took the children to live in what was left of Hungary, and Laura lived through the privations and economic chaos caused by the dismemberment of the country. She was loyal to her husband, but in love with another man, Dálnoki Veress László, a Hungarian diplomat. During World War II Veress was charged by Hungary's Prime Minister to negotiate Hungary's surrender to the Allies. His 'portrait' reveals the bittersweet complexities of this love triangle and its place in European history. Dalma's story shows how her life was shaped by these strong personalities and by the joys and cruelties of life in 20th century Europe and America. Together with her parents she made it through World War II and the siege of Budapest. For a month their house was in no man's land between the Russian and the German front lines. But the most traumatic part of the experience was the Russian occupation: for six weeks their home was an army hospital; the soldiers were the masters and the tenants were slaves obliged to obey their commands. Yet she also had the chance to learn much about the Soviet army because her father was the interpreter. In the years after 1945 hopes of a free country governed by free elections gradually faded. By 1947 the Communists were in control, arresting and imprisoning their opponents. Laura made the wrenching decision to leave Hungary with her daughter, and join Veress László, whom she later married. Dalma's story takes her through the challenges of starting a new life in England in the aftermath of World War II, preparing for exams, helping out at home while her mother and stepfather tried to make a living, and dreading news from Hungary where the Communists were gradually stifling all forms of freedom. She was 15 when she arrived in England. Seven years later she had a B.A. degree and teaching English in an English grammar school. But her challenges continued. After her marr.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rewiring the Brain is not just another book on stress. It explores a daring and innovative path to accessing the power of consciousness as a more effective and lasting solution to tackle stress and emotional afflictions. The present remedies, such as drills of positive thinking and self-hypnosis thr…ough beliefs, accrue only temporary solace and euphoria that wear off sooner than expected. Also our reasoning power is not able to rein in the unyielding force of negative emotions that fuel stress and depression. Hence, this book pursues a new approach. It outlines also certain ways that slow down aging process and enhance memory, attention span, and emotional equilibrium. The book is a fascinating journey to the inner world of self-its constructs of emotions, thoughts, and memories-to discover why one behaves the way one does. We go through myriads of joys and sorrows in the long course of life, but hardly have the patience to pause and ponder over the reasons that make them. Does it matter Yes, much more than perhaps one realizes. Stress should not be seen as an isolated issue. It betrays the quality of individual self in its ceaseless action of living. We have one and only life-the most precious thing we happen to possess, and it is but natural that we struggle hard to do our utmost to make it a wonderful experience. Stress, in its overt or covert forms, works as a persistent factor that undermines the spontaneity, joy, and beauty of life. In this competitive and complex world, one faces countless factors of stress that are unavoidable and immutable, including illness, accident, or death. There are some other factors that can be altered through efforts, which play a more decisive role in life. These are individual attitude, mental tendencies, and ways one interacts with external world. There is much truth in the saying 'Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it.' An objective understanding of these individual factors means that half the battle of tackling stress is won. Hence, the book seeks to help the reader face and understand the workings of inner self and its intricacies without resorting to psychological escape or suppression. Yet an objective understanding is only the first step. It does not resolutely change our mental habits and conditionings that are hardwired in the brain. This suggests the need to go beyond the remedies prevalent now and look for fundamentally new solutions. In such effort, this book explores the possibility of using the power of consciousness to rewire the brain and tackle stress. The book has a refreshingly open-minded approach, devoid of religious ideologies or mystical beliefs, and does not involve psychological escapes. The practical methods and benefits are outlined in a scientific spirit and correlated with research by neuroscientists, psychologists, and medical institutes. The book does not offer shortcuts or peripheral solutions, because none exists. Neither does it offer self-hypnosis and gratifying beliefs that are concealed in prescriptive actions and mental drills.

Life is too short to do things that you do not enjoy. Most good careers that pay decent money require a college education, years of experience, good credit, and expect you to work all kinds of hours for free.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - During the 1990's, George Bush Sr. called Saddam Hussein 'this modern day Hitler'. 'THE COMING OF THE REICHCHILD' is a visceral, highly visual story that deftly weaves historical fact with fiction to revel the chilling, all-too-plausible roots of the Iraqi dictator. Built convincingly around real hi…storical events and personages, 'THE COMING OF THE REICHCHILD' accurately traces the life of Saddam Hussein tying his roots to Adolph Hitler and the Third Reich's need for oil. The novel chronicles the diabolical events of another time when a seed was planted whose bitter fruit would be harvested by a future age, and traces Hussein's collision course with the Jews whom he vowed to incinerate with his Scud missiles during the Persian Gulf War. By his own admission, Saddam does not know who his real father was, and was raised by an uncle whom history reveals to be an ardent pro-Nazi. And how is it that German companies were so deeply involved in building his legendary underground bunkers. Where fact stops and fiction starts is indiscernible, yielding a fascinating novel that is filled with suspense, intrigue, violence, treachery, and the ultimate love of a man for his daughter. Truly, a 'what if' novel to end all 'what ifs'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Dear Dennis.I love you; A widow's journey through the seasons of grief' is a compilation of letters written to my husband shortly after he died. My grief work consisted of doing many things to try to lessen the pain. One of the things I did that actually intensified the pain, yet at the same time s…oftened the blow, was write letters to Dennis. He had been my best friend for over 30 years. I didn't know how I was going to handle the horrible devastation of my loss without having my best friend here to help me through it. I needed him more than I ever needed him before. I desperately wanted to talk to him and I thought it might help to write to him. I wrote 332 letters over the next 3 years. I think there may have been a part of me that thought he might answer my letters but all have gone unanswered. It was extremely hard to share a pain with him that words really can't describe - but I kept writing and he was always there for me to pour my heart out to.The following are excerpts from the letters in the book:August 9, 2002Dear DennisToday I got a letter from the Organ Donation Company. They let me know that your corneas have been transplanted into two local elderly women. And somebody else got your skin. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't stop crying. I wish they hadn't told me. I hate when the reality of your death hits me. I need to pretend you'll be back. I can't stand knowing that you've really died - and now I know someone else has a piece of you. I suppose that should provide some comfort. But it doesn't. It makes it too real. All your things are still where you left them. I'm just waiting for you to come home. I wait and I wait because if I stop waiting then you won't return. I can't say goodbye Dennis. I keep doing things as though you'll be back. I make sure every decision I make is one that you will approve. I don't want you to be upset when you come home. I know I sound crazy but I need to think this way for now. Reality is too painful and I can't function with all that pain. I love you.August 18, 2002Dear DennisI woke up this morning already crying and I haven't been able to stop. I've cried non-stop for twelve hours. I can hardly see out of my swollen eyes. I try to stop thinking about it but I can't get you off my mind. I called you on your work phone. Your voice message was still there. You said 'please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.' I doubled over in pain. I thought I was coping but I'm not. I hurt so badly! I was alone all day. I literally started screaming at the top of my lungs. I no longer have control of my emotions. Will the pain ever go away I love you .September 16, 2002Dear DennisLife is not funny anymore and I find myself getting annoyed by happy, funny people. I want people to just let me cry on their shoulder. I don't want anyone to try to cheer me up. That's too stressful for me. I'd rather be around people that have been through this. There's comfort being around others who understand but there's sadness too. I don't really know what I need. Except for brief moments of 'okayness', nothing seems to satisfy me. I wish those moments of 'okayness' would increase. Most of the time, I'm pretty miserable. Time is supposed to heal all wounds but it's been almost three months and there's no relief. The only thing that would stop this pain would be you coming home. I still can't believe you're gone for good. I hate that expression! 'Gone for Good ' It's not good you're gone. It's horrible and oftentimes so unbearable I can't stand it. I hate this so much! I'm trying so hard to be brave and it takes everything out of me. I wish so badly that you'd come home. I need you so much! I love youOctober 1, 2002Dear DennisI've now been without you for July, August and September. I'm constantly feeling like I'm forgetting to do something or I'm supposed to be somewhere. Before you died, I used to always have you on my mind - thinking I need.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Recollections begins in 1949 when the author's family lived in a one-room apartment in a rooming house. The saga relates many astounding and progressive changes that took place in southern suburbia during the fifties and early sixties. Recollections tells the heartfelt stories of the romantic pursui…ts of a skinny, underachieving boy and of the many heartbreaks he endures. Somehow, he manages to rise from the ashes of the burned-out romances and finds the strength to forge ahead in search of the perfect girl who will love him for all time. For the younger readers, Recollections provides intriguing, detailed accounts of an era that is long past; and for senior readers it offers the opportunity to take a mental stroll down memory lane and reminisce about the good old days.

Nearly a thousand chapter notes on sources and names are furnished to assist readers interested in discovering their own ancestry.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Longer Description (for Xlibris book page)Haley Van Fleet's paintings are coded memories, childhood terrors that she has disguised for herself as beauty. The result is a potent magic that attracts an offer from a gallery, but her old fears are stronger than ambition. She runs from the exposure of su…ccess and takes refuge in an affair with another artist, a photographer. They go west together to photograph places tourists never see, some of them dangerous. But danger becomes a kind of pleasure, and when they take illegal pictures on a missile range even explosions and military pursuit don't spoil the fun. There is another, less expected, reward: defying real fear cures imaginary fear. But theses lovers are cured too well, and when they face danger again they do not recognize it. Always hiding behind the camera they forget that they are in the picture too. They miss important warnings. The 'perfect', beautiful couple, they attract dangerous love, the kind deranged fans bestow on movie stars. Their 'fan' is childhood terror grown up, in his own way another artist, and when he catches Haley off guard she cannot forget it. She has no choice but to become a hunter herself and find the enemy.
