SEARCHING FOR SECRETS: As war reporters begin to hunt for stories behind the headlines, commandos and spies undertake their vital covert missions ------ 5.) THE FINAL WEEKEND: The troops are ready but, as General Eisenhower prepares to give the final order to launch the invasion, imminent storms threaten the entire operation ------ 6.) COUNTDOWN TO H-HOUR: Elite paratroopers mount a daring night attack as the invasion fleet silently approaches the Normandy coast, witnessed by legendary war photographer Robert Capa ------ 7.)

Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. [10], 320, [6] p. Illustrations [some in color]. References Report of a Concerted Action of the Environment Programme of the Research Directorate General of the Commission of the European Communities. This is an assessment of impacts and adaptations to climate in Europe, based upon an expert review of current knowledge. It drew upon available knowledge, including the most up-to-date projects of likely future climate change. It was concluded that climate change has major implications for Europe's policies of development and environmental management. From an FAO press release: "The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) has identified the Acacia pilot project, which has proven successful in combating desertification, for wider roll out. The Acacia Project has operated since 2004 and involves planting Acacia forests to combat desertification and provide socioeconomic benefits to local communities. The trees are improving soil quality, providing shelter for crops, creating fodder for livestock and producing gum Arabic to be sold on the international market. The project is being trialled in Senegal where the shock from the decline in the peanut market is being reduced through engagement in the gum Arabic sector. The pilot project has worked in 44 villages in Senegal and is underway in five other countries. FAO is seeking funding for wider implementation across the lands bordering the Sahara desert." Good.
