And from this same tradition came the Patron, a man who had the ability to channel ambition and determination, and to make the land and its...

He was not only cured but went back to school and completed his medical studies. He then returned to...

Beyond the Germ Theory: The Story of Dr. Cooper Curtice
ISBN: 9780890966730 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Logue observes. His greatest achievement was helping to eradicate ticks and the Texas fever they caused in cattle. But...
