Papou had stories to tell that went unheard until his granddaughter decided to write this book. He was not a hero, he said. He was a boy. He didn�t choose to fight this war. He was drafted. He was only 18, a recent high school graduate, a child, and somebody�s son. This boy survived landing on Omaha Beach with his friends falling all around him. But on the morning of October 7, 1944, he was almost fatally injured by a bomb that landed on his tent. He learned how to walk again, and chose to go straight back to the front lines - because he felt that was where he should be, with his buddies. He came back only to find that he was one of the few in his unit who remained. This is a story of WWII. It�s also a story of love, faith, courage and hope. This book is appropriate for elementary through high school and addresses the US History and Social Studies standard of The World and the US' Place in it; Conflicts between and among countries and people, US World History Sequence.

With his brother Friedrich, for example, Schlegel edited the avant-garde Romantic periodical Athenaeum; and he...

International biobank collaborations allow for studies with large number of subjects where generalizability of findings across populations can be investigated, which means establishing quality criteria concerning the nature of the sample, conditions of sample storage, and the adequacy of available information is of vital importance. Methods in Biobanking brings together contributions from experts in the field in order to aid in the establishment of this much needed consistency. The volume discusses how to use existing collections of biological material to answer significant questions concerning the cause of disease without violating the personal integrity of participating sample donors, the ...
This volume is based on contributions from the First International Conference on Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP'95) held in Tzigov Chark, Bulgaria, 14-16 September 1995.
