Thrice Caught: An American Army POW's 900 Days Under Axis Guns
Odell Myers Manufacturer: McFarland & Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0786412259 |
Book Description
For POWs of any war, talking about what happened to them is difficult. But even more painful is talking about what happened inside them. The physical, mental, and emotional effects never quite heal. They serve as constant reminders of the ordeal.This gripping memoir tells the story of Second Lieutenant Odell Myers, a pilot in the 438th Squadron, 319th Medium Bombardment Group, 12th USAAF, who was captured by the Germans on three different occasions and imprisoned for almost three years. It is also the story of the men who were imprisoned with him. He was first seized on December 4, 1942, after his plane was shot down over Bizerte, Tunisia, then hospitalized in North Africa and Sicily, and finally imprisoned in Chieti, Italy. The Italian surrender on September 8, 1943, caused his release, but he obeyed an Allied order to remain at the camp in Chieti and was then captured again and sent to a transient camp in Italy. On his first night there he escaped and held out for five weeks before he was captured the third time north of the Biferno River. He was sent to a camp at Barth, Pomerania, where he remained until liberated by Russian forces on May 1, 1945.

Jacob Boehme Manufacturer: Providence University ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 189735228X |
Book Description
Beloved and much respected friend in Christ - from a member - like obligation (as one branch on the tree is bound to do to the other) and a fellow-working desire, I wish unto you the open well-spring of grace, which God in Christ Jesus hath manifested in our humanity; so that it may richly spring up in you, and the divine sun may thereby cast the influence of its love-beams into the soul; and also therewith stir up and open the great magnetic hunger of the soul (being the true divine mouth) after Christ's flesh and blood, together with bodily welfare.

Yoga taught the traditional Eastern way.......2004-01-23
Geeta is clearly a master yoga practitioner who has created a comprehensive, thoughtful manual, but her book was not at all what I was looking for. Although I have practiced yoga at home for over two years, I was overwhelmed by the level of detail in the book. In addition, I found it difficult to follow, partly because the author uses only the original Sanskirt names for the poses and partly because the visual guides to the poses were all placed at the end of the book (rather than interpersed side-by-side to the instructional information included throughout).
This book would definitely not be appropriate for the casual, Westernized yoga practitioner, especially not someone who is using yoga primarily as a form of fitness. However, for someone who wishes to extend their yoga practice beyond the poses as well as to connect with yoga's original Eastern roots, this book may be ideal.

Wraps: Easy Recipes for Handheld Meals

ASIN: 0811818128 |
Book Description
What's the difference between a wrap and a burrito? The burrito was invented in northern Mexico as a convenient way for cowboys to pack a lunch. Filled with traditional Mexican ingredients, it's become practically a staple food. A wrap, on the other hand, is like a burrito with frequent flier miles. International flavor? That's just the beginning -- wraps accept no limitations in the pursuit of delicious variety. Why not try an Italian wrap with pine nuts and bell pepper? Or a Thai wrap flavored with ginger and curry? Why not an eggs Benedict wrap? Painless to prepare and packed with flavor, wraps make a great breakfast on the go, lunch at the park, or quick dinner. From Cajun spice to vegetarian delights, Wraps features dozens of recipes for festive combinations and extraordinary fillings that will change forever the way you think about burritos. Isn't it time you embraced the greater potential of the tortilla?Customer Reviews:

The Selected Papers of Charles Willson Peale and His Family: Volume 5 The Autobiography of Charles Willson Peale
Manufacturer: Yale University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0300075472 |
Book Description
Charles Willson Peale was one of the most extraordinary figures of the early Republic, most famous perhaps as the painter of more than a thousand portraits of the generation that won American independence. He also built up a private museum of natural history and art, which he intended as an institution that would be his legacy to the nation. (He led an expedition to exhume and mount the skeleton of the American mastodon, an epochal event in the new science of paleonotology). He was a major player in many of the young nation's significant cultural and political events. Drawing on his diaries and letters, Peale writes of his service in the Philadelphia militia during the Revolution and his fighting at the Battle of Princeton. He includes descriptions of his difficult involvement in Philadelphia's radical republican politics and his participation in the American Philosophical Society, where he won the friendship of men like Jefferson and Franklin.
