Trapped in what appears to be an endless bloodbath – vividly presented with Heffernan's meticulous historical research – three boys gradually begin to change until their close-knit childhood ties are little more than a fractured memory. By war's end, one boy is dead, one returns a physically crippled and emotionally compromised man, and the third comes home as an unfeeling psychopath. The novel turns on the subsequent murder of the psychopath, and the offer of redemption for the wounded young man who must investigate the crime. When Johnny Came Marching Home is a story about war, and how it affects the lives of all who become a part of it, both directly and peripherally.

Siin on kirjas Johnny Deppi elu tousud ja langused, tema teekond looduslapsest massajast Hollywoodi peavoolu kuuluvaks isepaiseks ja soltumatuks naitlejaks. Uks filmimaailma kestvama populaarsusega naitlejaid Johnny Depp kuulub korgelt hinnatud liikmena Hollywoodi eliiti, ent ometi on ta jaanud ka isepaiseks korvalseisjaks. Tema vapustavad osataitmised sellistes kassamenukites nagu „Alice Imedemaal“ ja „Kariibi mere piraatide“ sari on tublisti taiendanud tema ulemaailmse fanniklubi ridu. Ehkki Depp on relvituks tegevalt nagus, on ta enamasti vastu pannud kiusatusele mangida lihtsaid sudametemurdja osi ning valinud pigem niisugused filmirollid, mis peegeldavad tema enda omaparast elukasitust. See pronksja jumega ameeriklane on koige enam vaimustanud publikut siis, kui on manginud ebatavalisi veidrikke, nagu Edward Kaarkasi, Ichabod Crane filmis „Legend peata ratsanikust“ ja kapten Jack Sparrow. Tootamise korval on Deppi sundmusterohkes elus olnud nii narkotarbimist ja enesevigastamist noorukieas kui avalikkuse tahelepanu koitnud armusuhteid mitme kuulsusega, sealhulgas Kate Mossi ja Winona Ryderiga. Neliteist aastat nautis ta rahulikku onne elukaaslase Vanessa Paradis’ ja nende uhiste laste seltsis – lopuks oli taitunud Johnny puudlus leida koduse elu harmoonia, millest jai kovasti vajaka tema enda rahutus lapsepolves. Kahjuks ei jaanud see pikk suhe pusima. See elulooraamat kajastab Deppi tahelepanuvaarset teekonda koolipoisist massajast taltsutamatu rokitaheni, pajatab tema aastatest teismeliste iidolina ja seejarel auhinnatud filminaitlejana. NB! E-raamat on illustratsioonideta.

It's estimated that, in the coming decade, as many as 2 million students with military experience will take advantage of their education benefits and attend institutions in all sectors of higher education. This monograph provides useful information about students with military experience who attending college by blending the theoretical, practical and empirical. The authors assemble some of the best-known theories and research in the literature of the field to provide starting points from which to investigate the phenomenon of today's veteran attending college. Other frameworks and theories, particularly from the literature on college student development, from recognizable names such as Baxter Magolda, Braxton, Chickering, Schlossberg, and Tinto, are used–sometimes directly in their own words. New issues to our generation, such as the unique subpopulation of women veterans and the challenges they face, are explored. This volume equips higher education professional with a fundamental understanding of the issues faced by the student veteran population and aims to enable them in their roles of providing sorely needed assistance in the transition to college, persistence at the institution, and degree attainment. This is the third issue in the 37th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.
