The old man and the sea by
Ernest Hemingway(

)
10 editions published between 1989 and 2005 in English and held by 649 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Santiago is an old Cuban fisherman long regarded as the best in the business. Business has been slow lately, and Santiago has gone without a catch for 84 days. His young friend Manolo looks after him, helping him when he comes in from his day on the water. The other fishermen feel Santiago's got the worst luck there is--they are afraid it is catching. The next morning Santiago sets out alone in his little skiff, but doesn't come in at sundown. Santiago has hooked the biggest marlin he's ever seen, and it takes all his strength and considerable willpower to pull it in. After such a titanic struggle, will Santiago have enough left in him to fend off the sharks and scavengers when they come looking for lunch?

7 editions published between 1992 and 2007 in English and held by 261 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This disturbing film reveals for the first time the true depths of the tragedy at Chernobyl through exclusive archival film and eyewitness accounts. It is a story of deception and cover-up on a grand scale. The true legacy of the disaster can be seen on the children s wards of hospitals. Total hair loss is one of the more visible signs. Sadly for the children, the number of cancer diagnoses is growing alarmingly. We learn that thousands of men from all over the Soviet Union were dragged from the streets and drafted for the clean-up operation. Those working in the area of highest radioactivity received, in a single 90-second-shift, the maximum dosage of radiation allotted for a whole lifetime. It is believed that half of these men have died. Ordinary people were placed in danger through lack of information, while officials quickly evacuated their own families. It is estimated that 280,000 people worldwide will contract cancer because of the disaster
