A Full-Grown Man
By his eighteenth birthday, Ben Bennefield is known as the boy who lost his heart to the Yankee girl who spent her summers in Gold Dust. Anna Mancini, an artist from New York, is older and far more sophisticated than Ben. Though she takes him as her lover, by summer's end, she realizes the vast differences in their backgrounds and she leaves the small southern town abruptly. Ben had planned to graduate from high school and attend college. But his dreams fade when both parents die within years of each other, leaving young Ben heir to the family cotton farm. Through the years, Ben is bewitched by a cast of female characters, each harboring their own secrets, but he never forgets Anna. In his pursuit of her, Ben finds parts of his past, forcing him to search more closely for pieces that will help him move toward peace within himself and with those who scripted his life. With endearing characters, "A Full-Grown Man" addresses the compelling themes of relationships, family, and the messiness of living. While establishing a powerful sense of time and place, it asks, "When does a boy become a full-grown man?"

Eisenhower and the years that followed until the present time. Living in Brooklyn, New York, during the Great Depression was a distressing and an unforgettable experience for our parents.

The symposium was entitled "Sulfur Amino Acids, Peptides and Related Compounds" and was the 7th international symposium on taurine ßnd assooiated substances. It is always difficult to introduce, with the right brevity end emphasis, a topic which has been studied in depth by numerous experte.

Magnetiseurs Et Medecins
Europe, 1875: Leon, Donato et Hansen sont des magnetiseurs celebres qui pratiquent leur art sur les treteaux. Entendons par la qu'ils font des seances publiques d'hypnose. Celles-ci ont ete deja interdites a Donato en Italie, tandis qu'en France et ailleurs les medecins veulent aussi les faire interdire pour se reserver le monopole et le privilege du magnetisme.

Ce livre agreable a lire est une mine d'informations sur l'histoire, les acteurs et les pratiques de l'hypnose medicale. Version imprimée disponible sur www.buenosbooks.fr
