Waiting for the Durian
Little Captive: Wait for Freedom is the inspiring true story of a child whose city was bombed, whose rescue ship was sunk, and who was held prisoner of war by the Japanese during World War II. Author Susan McCabe knew it was a story that had to be told when she met Des Woodford at his home in Perth Australia, where she and her family had moved from Canada. The story takes the reader with the young Des on his journey of adventure, pain, suffering, heroism and survival. This book not only tells the dramatic tale of what happened, it reveals the inner journey of the soul of the child, and leaves us breathless with admiration at his strength and depth of character. Des lives for us, as do his parents Rosy and Sonny, who share his ordeal, though they are all ripped apart before being brought back together. There are camp heroes like the Dutch Barfing brothers, the irrepressible Aussie jockeys who take on the brutal prison guards, and Des's pet chicks Bluey and Koefer. All of them - even the pet birds - become three-dimensional, living breathing personalities who engage our feelings.

The Living History Anthology
The Living History Anthology brings together twenty-six practical essays on the craft of establishing and running living history museums. Contributions cover all aspects of developing and running a living history site. Including contributions on strategic planning, human resource management, research programs, collection policies, and engagement with varied audiences, including indigenous groups, the book demonstrates how to approach such tasks from a living history perspective. Topics unique to the sector, such as re-enactment, historic trade crafts, and working with machinery and livestock, are also covered. Each essay is briefly introduced and contextualized by the editors, while the collection is bookended by a new foreword and afterword from Debra A. Reid, and an introduction from the editors. Representing the collective wisdom of the Association for Living History, Farm and Agricultural Museums (ALHFAM) members across the decades, The Living History Anthology provides a valuable resource for all living history practitioners. It should also be of interest to students and scholars studying living history.
Echocardiography
The book "Echocardiography - In Specific Diseases" brings together contributions from well- known researchers from around the world, some of them specialized in imaging science in their clinical orientation, but also representatives from academic medical centers. Each chapter is structured and written to be accessible to those with a basic knowledge of echocardiography but also to be stimulating and informative to experts and researchers in the field of echocardiography. This book is primarily aimed at cardiology fellows during their basic echocardiography rotation, fellows of internal medicine, radiology and emergency medicine, but also experts in echocardiography. During the past few decades technological advancements in echocardiography have been developing rapidly, leading to improved echocardiographic imaging using new techniques. The authors of this book tried to explain the role of echocardiography in several special pathologies, which the readers may find in different chapters of the book.
