Which is it?"...[the] greatest American short story... flawless... American genius."- Kurt Vonnegut.*Includes biograph of Ambrose Bierce.

This autobiographical fiction offers an intimate and unsettling account of Blecher's ideas of self-identity and the body.

Cover Art and Colour Section Anca Boeriu is one of Romania's leading artists and is influenced by human bodies that are in a state of tension.

This volume is very useful in Sunday School, as a resource book to spice up prayer meeting talks, Bible studies, bedtime readings and sermons. Here are such stories as the proud beauty who met a dreadful end; the convicted murderer with a devoted wife; the powerful circuit rider aptly named Hurrekan; the story of the little woman who prayed years for a revival, and the circuitous route her prayer took to lead the author into sanctification— and bring the revival for which she earnestly pled. Much more. This is a soul-winning book.

English lawyer and historian William James wrote this book in 1817 to counter what he considered the bombastic, patriotic, and false version of the war put forward by American authors. To free the war from "American dross," James used his legal mind to pick through a wealth of evidence and came to the conclusion that "no American ship of war has, after all, captured a British ship of the same force." Many of the work's more controversial and vociferous passages were deleted or toned down for his six-volume history of the Royal Navy published in 1826, but this fully reset classic--which includes more than one hundred contemporary official documents--allows readers to appreciate the full force of James's original arguments.

A collection of sixty true, yet totally unbelievable happenings, including that involving the despondent wife who jumped out of her window and landed on her faithless husband, instantly killing him

Excerpt from An Account of the Remarkable Occurrences in the Life and Travels of Col. James Smith: During His Captivity With the Indians, in the Years 1755, 56, 57, 58,& 59As the Indians never attempted to prevent me either from reading or writing, I kept a Journal, which I revised shortly after my return from captivity, and which I have kept ever since: and as I have had but a moderate English education, have been advised to employ some person of liberal education to transcribe and embellish it - but believing that nature always out shines art, have thought, that occurrences truly and plainly stated, as they happened, would make the best history, be better understood, and most entertaining.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In this book, the authors discuss the occurrences, physical properties and applications of spinels. Topics include optical spectroscopy of transition metals in a-ZnAl2S4 wide band gap semiconductors; development of spinel NiZn ferrites for power field applications; spinel ferrites as catalysts for light alkanes combustion; application of magnesium spinel nanometric coating on aluminum oxide as an ionizing radiation sensor for personal and environmental dosimetry; chromium spinel oxides in high magnetic fields; the structural behavior of natural Cr-bearing spinels compared with synthetic ones; negative temperature coefficient thermistors based on spinel-type ceramics; and synthesis of high surface area MgAl2O4 spinel particles by a new method.

This text treats theoretical epidemiology as the discipline of how to study the occurrence of phenomena of interest in the health field. It delineates major principles of study design and data analysis in research into the frequency of occurrence of illness and related phenomena in human populations whether in the community or in clinical situations. Thus it is concerned with the principles of the dominant type of research in applied medical science and in health care administration. Moreover, the principles of research of this type in medicine are not peculiar to the study of illness, health and health care, nor to studies on humans. They apply equally to statistical research in psychology, behavioral science, technology, and other fields. The intent is to provide the reader with the necessary theoretical background for dealing with occurrence research in medicine - for thinking about it; for reviewing it; and for conducting it.
