Описание: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Black Flags, the harrowing story of America's mission in Syria: to find and destroy Syria's chemical weapons and defeat ISIS--only to lose control of both. In August 2012, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was clinging to power in a vicious civil war. Concerned that Assad might resort to chemical weapons, President Obama warned that any such use would cross "a red line," warranting an American military response. When a year later Assad bombed the Damascus suburb of Ghouta with sarin gas, killing hundreds, Obama was torn between living up to America's word and becoming mired in another unpopular Middle Eastern war. So when Russia offered to store Syria's chemical weapons, Obama leapt at the out. So begins a race to find, remove, and destroy 1,300 tons of chemical weapons in the middle of Syria's civil war. Told in harrowing detail, the effort is a tactical triumph for the Americans, but soon Russia's long game becomes clear: it has UN cover to assist a close ally, Assad. As the Russians block attempts to check for chemical weapons that might have been missed, American realizes that ISIS seeks to secure them for itself. Red Line is a classic Joby Warrick true-life thriller: a character-driven narrative with a cast of heroes and villains, including weapons hunters, politicians, commandos, diplomats, and spies. Through original reporting and eyewitness accounts from direct participants, Joby Warrick reveals how a well-intentioned effort to save Syrian lives touched off a chain of events that would rescue a dictator, sustain a terrorist movement, unleash torrents of refugees, humiliate two U.S. presidents, and empower Russia and Iran.

It is very likely that you or someone you love is one of the 30 million people worldwide who have the 'irregularly irregular' heartbeat of atrial fibrillation. Or, it is possible that you may be among the people who do not realise they have this highly unpredictable condition, the impact of which can range from inconvenience to blackout, heart failure or stroke.
An ageing population and our Western lifestyle are ensuring that the prevalence of atrial fibrillation, often referred to by its initials, AF, is increasing at such a rate that it is predicted to be the next cardiac epidemic. Despite it being so widespread, AF does not allow a one-treatment-for-all approach. While it can be managed, currently AF cannot be cured, so you could have it for a long time.
Atrial Fibrillation Explained is a must-read for sufferers and those who care about them, medical practitioners and anyone planning to live into a healthy, old age. Having a better understanding of AF as a disease and learning about its treatment will open up meaningful conversations between patients and their medical practitioners, leading to greater insight into the best way to look after the condition in personal sets of circumstances.
This book is a must-read for you.

Название: Before Us Lies the Timber: The Segregated High School of Montgomery County, Maryland 1927-1960 ISBN: 0935437622 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780935437621 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 20690.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In 1927, forty students about to enter the eighth grade arrived, along with their teacher, to open the doors to their small, two-room schoolhouse for the first time. There were already ten public high schools in Montgomery County, Maryland. But these students weren't allowed to attend any of them because of the color of their skin. As a result of aggressive determination and tireless persistence by Montgomery County School Board pioneers, Rockville Colored High School, became the first high school in the county for African-American boys and girls eager to continue their education. Finally, these students had a school of their own and could finally see the hope and opportunity that a secondary education offered. Struggling through economic, social, and transportation challenges, they journeyed towards their diplomas. The first class chose as their motto "Before Us Lies the Timber--Let Us Build," reflecting their dreams for the future. Due to economic circumstances, only nine of the original forty students finished. Yet, over the next 29 years, the population of black county residents able to earn a high school education became so large that, twice, new schools had to be built to accommodate them--first, Lincoln High School replaced Rockville Colored High, and later Carver High School replaced Lincoln High. The students in these years were given the chance to live their lives doing the things that all teenagers do. They founded a National Honor Society chapter, elected May Day Queens, and formed school baseball and basketball teams. They crammed for finals, wrote farewell poems for their beloved teachers, and marched to "Pomp and Circumstance" at commencement. The author was himself a graduate of Lincoln High in 1945. Warrick S. Hill has assembled a wealth of not just historical information, but personal stories as well. Each graduating class is given its own commemorative chapter, recreating, year by year, the trials, challenges, and accomplishments of these unique students attending the high school they loved. The histories chronicled in this book will help you not only to learn what African-Americans in Montgomery County went through, but will keep their memories alive for future generations.
