technical language used in diagnosis, patient care, surgery, pathology,
general practice, pharmacy, dentistry and other specialisations, as well as
anatomical and physiological terms. Informal, everyday and sometimes
euphemistic terms commonly used by people in discussing their condition
with healthcare professionals are also included, as are common words used
in reading or writing reports, articles or guidelines.
The dictionary is designed for anyone who needs to check the meaning or
pronunciation of medical terms, but especially for those working in
health-related areas who may not be healthcare professionals or for whom

straightforward English. Pronunciations, uncommon plurals and uncommon
verb forms are provided. Illustrations of some basic anatomical terms are

LANCE ARMSTRONG WAR




Lance Edward Armstrong (born Lance Edward Gunderson on September 18, 1971) is an American professional road racing cyclist who is best known for winning the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times, after having survived testicular cancer. He is also the founder and chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer research and support. He rides for UCI ProTour team Team RadioShack.
In October 1996 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, with a tumor that had metastasized to his brain and lungs. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and his prognosis was originally poor. He went on to win the Tour de France each year from 1999 to 2005, and is the only person to win seven times, having broken the previous record of five wins, shared by Miguel Indurain, Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT AUTOBIOGRAPHY




Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) pronounced  was the 26th President of the United States. He is famous for his energetic personality, range of interests and achievements, leadership of the Progressive Movement, model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" image. He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party of 1912. Before becoming President (1901–1909) he held offices at the municipal, state, and federal level of government. Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician.

Mein Kampf pdf


MEIN KAMPF ( MY STRUGGLE)



Author : Adlof Hitler


Publication date : July 18, 1925

Publisher : Eher Verlag

Size : 1.7 MB


Mein Kampf, English: My Struggle, is a book by Adolf Hitler. It combines elements of autobiography with an exposition of Hitler's political ideology. Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926. The book was edited by the former Hieronymite friar Bernhard Stempfle who later perished during the Night of the Long Knives
Hitler began the dictation of the book while imprisoned for what he considered to be "political crimes" after his failed revolution in Munich in November 1923. Though Hitler received many visitors earlier on, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. As he continued, Hitler realized that it would have to be a two-volume work, with the first volume scheduled for release in early 1925. The prison governor of Landsberg noted at the time that "he [Hitler] hopes the book will run into many editions, thus enabling him to fulfill his financial obligations and to defray the expenses incurred at the time of his trial."
