On a Wing and a Prayer: Surviving a Brain Tumour

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fulljames, Cameron, PUBLISHER: Janus Book Publishers, In stark, personal detail, Cameron Fulljames tells the story of his diagnosis of, fight against, and victory over cancer. Assembled from his diaries and written throughout the experience, this book documents the career he had to put on hold and the challenge he and his doctors had before them: a tumor that covered nearly one-fourth of his brain. Faced with the nightmares that accompany a brain tumor--seizures, paralysis, memory loss, deterioration, and death--Fulljames gathers his strength and chooses hope. He faces depression, despair, and overwhelming odds as he goes through treatment, and finds little in reference material to assuage his confusion and helplessness. Fulljames' story is inspiring for cancer patients and survivors, their families, and others who believe in the power of sheer will to overcome a seemingly certain death.

The Russian Annexation of the Crimea

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fisher, Alan W. / Fisher, Nancy Ed., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The Black Sea and the coastal areas have played an important role in the history of eastern Europe and western Asia. Byzantium, Kiev Rus, the Golden Horde, Lithuania, Poland, the Ottoman Empire and Muscovy all tried to control parts of its area at various periods in history. From for three hundred years the Ottoman Turks controlled the Black Sea and the lands surrounding it. In Catherine annexed the Crimean peninsula, with its Muslim Tatar population, to the Russian Empire after a major Russian military victory over the Ottomans. The effect on the Ottoman Empire was significant. It lost its Tatar military forces when traditional means of securing recruits for the army had broken down; lost its secure northern frontier - the route to Istanbul itself was now open; it lost, for the first time, a Muslim province. This book provides a scholarly and balanced account of an important part of the transformation of the Muscovite state into a multinational empire. It also contributes to our understanding of the decline of the Ottoman Empire.
