Příběh o válce a medicíně, o nalezení lásky, když ji člověk nejméně čeká, příběh o chybách, které děláme a jak se je snažíme odčinit. Vídeň 1914. Luciovi je dvaadvacet a studuje třetí ročník medicíny, když v celé Evropě propukne první světová válka. Uchvácen romantickými příběhy o statečných chirurzích v první linii narukuje jako jeden z mnoha, neboť očekává místo v dobře zajištěné polní nemocnici. Když však dorazí na místo určení, čeká na něj zrekvírovaný kostel zastrčený vysoko v odlehlém údolí Karpat, krutý mráz a pacienti umírající na tyfus. Ostatní lékaři utekli a zůstala jen jediná, ale o to záhadnější řádová sestra Margarete. Avšak Lucius ještě nikdy nedržel v ruce chirurgický skalpel. A zatímco v zimní krajině zuří válka, mladý muž zjišťuje, že stále více propadá kouzlu této ženy, pod jejímž vedením se musí učit surové, provizorní medicíně. Jednoho dne přivezou ze zasněženého průsmyku vojáka v bezvědomí, v jehož vojenském kabátu najdou pod podšívkou prapodivné kresby. Zdá se, že všechny naděje na jeho záchranu jsou marné, dokud Lucius neučiní osudové rozhodnutí, které navždy změní životy doktora, pacienta i sestry. Z pozlacených tanečních sálů císařské Vídně až do zamrzlých lesů východní fronty; z primitivně vybavených operačních sálů na bojiště, která se otřásají pod kopyty kozácké jízdy. Zimní voják je dojemný příběh o válce a lékařství, o rodině, nalezení lásky uprostřed bouřlivých převratů dějin a také o chybách, kterých se dopouštíme, a o vzácných možnostech odčinění.

The International Food Policy Research Institute''s International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) supports analysis of long-term challenges and opportunities for food, agriculture, and natural resources at global and regional scales. IMPACT is continually being updated and improved to better inform the choices that decisionmakers face today. This document describes the latest version of the model. IMPACT version 3 expands the geographic and commodity scope of the model in response to desires expressed by researchers and policymakers to address more complex questions involving climate change, food security, and economic development into the future. IMPACT 3 is an integrated modeling system that links information from climate models (Earth System Models), crop simulation models (for example, Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer), and water models linked to a core global, partial equilibrium, multimarket model focused on the agriculture sector. This model system supports longer-term scenario analysis through the integration of these multidisciplinary modules to provide researchers and policymakers with a flexible tool to assess and compare the potential effects of changes in biophysical systems, socioeconomic trends, technologies, and policies.
