Odhodlání. Vůle přežít. Lidská sounáležitost. Společný odpor proti nenáviděnému nepříteli. To je Ztracený letec! Arthur Meyerowitz, americký letec, byl sestřelen se svým bombardérem B-24 Liberator nad územím okupované Francie. Nejdříve byl prohlášen za nezvěstného, po několika měsících za mrtvého. Arthur však přežil, podařilo se mu uniknout z nacisty ovládaného území a po šesti měsících se objevil na pobřeží Gibraltaru. Tato kniha je strhující autentickou výpovědí jeho záchrany i vůle přežít, navzdory zranění, hladu i všudypřítomnému gestapu.

How to cultivate, harvest, and utilize North America's largest native fruit. It is hard to eat more than one pawpaw at a go. The creamy rich pulp with tropical flavors ranging from mango and pineapple to banana combine like a satisfying dessert. The pawpaw, a close relative of the tropical custard apple, grows throughout much of North America yet culturally and horticulturally we know very little about it.

Judd demystifies fruit growing in direct, easy to follow steps that quickly brings confidence to the newbie grower while expanding the horizons of curious gardeners.

That is quickly changing as selected and bred cultivars are being grown and shared. Judd's pawpaw manual gets you started right away with the best selections and approaches

TRUE WAR & COMBAT STORIES. "Arthur Meyerowitz was on his second air mission over France when he was shot down in 1943. He was one of only two men on the B-24 Liberator known as Harmful Lil' Armful who escaped death or immediate capture on the ground. After fleeing the wreck, Meyerowitz knocked on the door of an isolated farmhouse, whose owners hastily took him in. Fortunately, his hosts not only despised the Nazis but had a tight connection to the French resistance group Morhange and its founder, Marcel Taillandier. Meyerowitz and Taillandier formed an improbable bond as the resistance leader arranged for Meyerowitz's transfers among safe houses in southern France, shielding him from the Gestapo.
