Book excerpt: "The 14-year-old casually reached for the book Treblinka, by Jean-Francois Steiner in the History stacks at the Hinsdale, Ill., public library. She paged through, glancing at the table of contents and random pages and was horrified by what she read. Why had no one told her about the German death camps? Why did she know so little about World War II? Decades later, we open Barbara Wojcik's own book, Bud's Jacket, to the inspiring story of James "Uncle Bud" Wilschke. Shot down over coastal France in 1943, the American bombardier and his fellow airman, Robert Neil, find themselves on a desperate trek through Nazi-occupied Europe, hoping to survive and return to their UK squadron base. Including extensive research and visits to the original sites, Bud's Jacket is a tale of adventure, courage and determination. On a broader level, Wojcik pays tribute to the citizen "helpers" at all levels of French society who risked life, liberty and property to harbor Allied evaders from what good people then and now consider the forces of evil." -Dave Engel, Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., City Historian, Publisher River City Memoirs: Home Front Author Just Like Bob Zimmerman's Blues: Dylan In Minnesota

Download or read book Developmental Biology Protocols written by Rocky S. Tuan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-02 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental biology is one of the most exciting and fast-growing fields today. In part, this is so because the subject matter deals with the innately fascinating biological events—changes in form, structure, and function of the organism. The other reason for much of the excitement in developmental biology is that the field has truly become the unifying melting pot of biology, and provides a framework that integrates anatomy, physiology, genetics, biochemistry, and cellular and molecular biology, as well as evolutionary biology. No longer is the study of embryonic development merely “embryology.” In fact, development biology has produced important paradigms for both basic and clinical biomedical sciences. Though modern developmental biology has its roots in “experimental embry- ogy” and the even more classical “chemical embryology,” the recent explosive and remarkable advances in developmental biology are critically linked to the advent of the “cellular and molecular biology revolution.” The impressive arsenal of expe- mental and analytical tools derived from cell and molecular biology, which promise to continue to expand, together with the exponentially developing sophistication in fu- tional imaging and information technologies, guarantee that the study of the devel- ing embryo will contribute one of the most captivating areas of biological research in the next millennium.

Download or read book Navy SEAL Dogs written by Mike Ritland and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before there was Max, there was Mike. A true story much like the touching movie, Navy SEAL Dogs explores the incomparable relationship between trainer and military dog. From the author of Team Dog, Trident K9 Warriors gave readers an inside look at the Navy SEAL teams' elite K9 warriors-who they are, how they are trained, and the extreme missions they undertake to save lives. From detecting explosives to eliminating the bad guys, these powerful dogs are also some of the smartest and highest skilled working animals on the planet. Mike Ritland's job is to train them. This special edition re-telling presents the dramatic tale of how Ritland discovered his passion and grew up to become the trainer of the nation's most elite military working dogs. Ritland was a smaller-than-average kid who was often picked-on at school-which led him to spend more time with dogs at a young age. After graduating BUD/S training-the toughest military training in the world-to become a SEAL, he was on combat deployment in Iraq when he saw a military working dog in action and instantly knew he'd found his true calling. Ritland started his own company to train and supply working and protection dogs for the U.S. Government, Department of Defense, and other clients. He also started the Warrior Dog Foundation to help retired Special Operations dogs live long and happy lives after their service. Navy SEAL Dogs is the true story of how Mike Ritland grew from a skinny, bullied child, to a member of our nation's most elite SEAL Teams, to the trainer of the world's most highly skilled K9 warriors.

Download or read book Advances in Morphogenesis written by M. Abercrombie and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Morphogenesis, Volume 1 covers the significant advances in various aspects of morphogenesis. This book is composed of nine chapters that include discussion on cell growth, differentiation, and development. The opening chapter describes the complex process of embryonic organization, from the induction initiation to a number of differentiation processes, leading to formation of the essential part of the axial system of the embryo. The next chapters examine the basic aspects of embryology, the process of regeneration in vertebrate, the suppression of growth processes by morphostatic substances, and the role of proteases in tissue regeneration. These topics are followed by discussions on the factors that control plant cell growth and the morphological, physiological, and biochemical studies of normal pigment cell development and differentiation. The concluding chapters explore the development of limbs of tetrapod vertebrates, the morphogenesis of the vertebrate eye, and the particular phases of teleostean egg development. This book is directed toward developmental biologists.
