<p>On April 27th, 1944, an 8th Air Force B-17 piloted by Lt. W. C. Shaddix was hit by anti-aircraft fire over Belgium. Shaddix and his crew bailed out of their crippled bomber and Shaddix alone was able to elude capture by the German Army. The rest of his crew spent the war in German Pow camps. Shaddix was hidden and protected by the Belgian underground who passed him along from family to family. While trying to make his way to neutral Spain along with another downed pilot, Shaddix was picked up by the French Underground who were fighting a guerilla war in the Ardennes Forest. He joined them in their battle against the retreating German Army. Finally their unit was swept up by Patton's 3rd Army as it raced across Europe. Drawing on interviews, diaries, and recently declassified documents, author Tom Bartlett, a former Air Force officer, traces the remarkable story of the training, survival, and return of a downed Air Force pilot.</p>

<p>This 2014 edition offers practical solutions that have been gleaned from the experts parents who have found answers to their children's behavior and learning problems. It is based on the work of an eminent physician, Ben Feingold, MD. He discovered that some of the chemicals in our food have the ability to cause a wide range of problems, and that the symptoms vary depending upon a person's own body chemistry. For one person the effect might be a change in behavior, such as low frustration tolerance and irritability. Or they could result in hyperactivity and even violent outbusts. Another person will have difficulty paying attention, while someone else may have a physical response such as asthma attacks, migraine headaches, hives or tics. Some of the primary offenders have been found to be certain food additives, many of which are synthesized from petroleum. These include the dyes that are so widely used in foods, beverages, medicines and vitamins especially those designed for children. Artificial flavorings, several preservatives and fake sweeteners round out the list. But even healthy food can be a problem for some people. These include many common fruits, a few vegetables and several other things that have a chemical similarity to aspirin. They are referred to as natural salicylates. So even a family that enjoys a nourishing diet could experience problems from one or more of them. The purpose of the Feingold Program is to help people of all ages determine if certain foods or additives are triggering the problems they are seeing. The test involves using most of the things one would normally eat, but in versions that are free of the questionable chemicals. Experienced volunteers identify thousands of acceptable choices. Why Can't My Child Behave? is designed to guide the reader through an understanding of how things in our food and environment can affect us and our children, and why the consumer is more likely to find real solutions in the supermarket than in the pharmacy. The 2014 edition includes new topics on laundry products,plug-ins, hand sanitizers,and extreme sensory issues.</p>
