Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When Valerie Maidment was a baby, doctors diagnosed her with hydrocephalus, a condition that causes excess fluid to build in the brain. After the second surgery at age 9, she was declared healthy; she lived a happy, normal life, graduating from high school and college, having children, and buying and managing her own convenience store. Until one day, when everything changed. Fluid began to build once again in Valerie's brain, causing immense pressure that-due to misdiagnosis on the part of multiple doctors-caused her optic nerves to break down. By the time the doctors realized what was happening, it was too late; Valerie was legally blind.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Branko Vukelic may not be well known outside his home country, but he certainly should be.That's because Branko was a spy, part of the famous Soviet secret espionage group based in Tokyo and led by Richard Sorge. They were spying on Japan and Germany in the 1930s and early 1940s. After discovering evidence of Hitler's plans to launch an attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941, and that the Japanese authorities had decided to direct their attention away from the Soviet borders toward Indochina and the Pacific, Sorge's group sent word back to Moscow. This news arrived just in time for Stalin to deploy fresh troops from the country's far eastern border and halt Germany's rapid advance toward Moscow and Saint Petersburg.Not only did this shatter Hitler's belief in his army's invincibility, it also changed the course of World War II.While Branko and his espionage work are central to this narrative, this book also focuses on his entire Jewish-Croatian family whose several members committed heroic deeds and often risked everything-including their lives-in their quest to create a better world. Key players include Branko's mother, Vilma, a women's rights advocate and a highly regarded chronicler of late nineteenth century life in southeastern Europe; his younger brother, Slavko, who also served as a Soviet spy, and who fell victim of the Soviet Great Terror in the 1930s; Branko's second wife, Yoshiko, who defied her repressive Japanese culture to support her husband; and Ive, his anti-fascist brother-in-law, imprisoned by both fascist and communist security services at the end of WWII in Yugoslavia. They were all caught up in some of the most tumultuous events of modern history.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Returning home to the small seaside community of Lockeport, Nova Scotia, after several years away in teacher's college, Margaret Conrad thought she knew what to expect. Although she is certainly no longer the shy, broken-hearted girl she'd once been, her hometown hasn't changed in generations. Lockeport in 1907 is still as predictable as the tides. What she hadn't counted on, though, is that her first and only love, Joseph Locke, has returned as well . and she certainly didn't expect that he'd love her still. Unlike most of the local men-whose livelihoods were made out on the waves-Joseph didn't come from a family of fishermen. In a way, this only added to his appeal. She's always held a reverence for the ocean and its bounty. Yet, it's brought her a healthy dose of fear as well. Local men are lost every season due to the mighty ocean's fickle nature as they struggle to pull that bounty from its depths.Adrift now, Margaret is caught between the swirling eddies of life's uncertainty and the draw of long-forgotten dreams. She must decide if she will hold fast and true to the rewarding (but solitary) course she's so painstakingly charted for herself . or give in to the inexorable riptide of her heart's demands.…
