Merriam Press World War 2 Memoir. On the Road to Innsbruck and Back is a product of the author�s long obsession with serving in Europe during World War II as a member of the 103rd Infantry Division. Too often he was given a responsibility that he neither deserved nor desired. But then he was in an Intelligence and Reconnaissance platoon, at the service of a regimental headquarters. The chief model for On the Road is Stephen Crane�s The Red Badge of Courage, the best short novel about war that he knows. Like Crane, he wanted, above all, to demonstrate the moral cost of some months in combat upon a not-insensitive young man.

"Humanitarian aid programs are a partnership...a knowledgeable, capable donor and an organized, enlightened receiver. Programs maximizing those qualities have a good chance of succeeding, while others will waste the time, talent and treasures of the donor, and further frustrate the hope and ambitions of the receivers. In this combined edition, Dr. Bartecchi and his co-workers outline a program that has worked and provides suggestions that could help others to develop suggestions that could help others develop a successful program" -- Back cover.

Merriam Press Memoir. Once Upon a Time There Was a War is a kaleidoscope of events. It starts with World War II seen through the eyes of a child. The author was only nine years old when the war started and he writes about his memories of horrible events like hangings and executions of innocent people; senseless killings that brought misery to so many lives. But, being only a child, he also had times of fun and play. The reality of war, however, was ever-present. Despite those dark times, Les remained an optimist; he had his dreams of becoming an animator and of going to Hollywood. He didn't know how, but he was sure that someday he would reach his goal. Les reached his goal and had a long career working for studios in Poland, as well as Disney and Hanna-Barbera in the U.S., and others. Those fascinating stories, and many more, are also in this memoir.
Merriam Press Medical Science. Since the early 1970s, Pueblo has become an academic medical center. Supported by its two hospitals, Pueblo is the only Colorado city, outside of the Denver metro area, that has two major medical residency programs. St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center has a Family Medicine residency program that trains 20 physicians each year and Parkview Medical Center has an Internal Medicine residency program that trains 30 physicians each year. Parkview Medical Center also has a Critical Care Medicine fellowship program that trains six physicians each year. The early 1970s was an exciting time in medicine and especially critical care medicine in southern Colorado. Bartecchi's goal in this review is to cover the early development of critical care medicine during the early 1970s, and for a number of years after, while he was still active in the care of critically ill patients. 27 photos/illustrations.
