Genetická genealogie pro historiky


Genetická genealogie a paleogenetika jsou mladé, dynamicky se rozvíjející disciplíny na pomezí přírodních věd, historie a moderních technologií. Díky zpřístupnění DNA testování se zrodila skutečná revoluce, která umožňuje nejen ověřovat rodokmeny a odhalovat zapomenuté příbuzenské vazby, ale také rekonstruovat migrace celých populací a nahlížet do dávné minulosti lidstva. Kniha nabízí komplexní vhled do principů genetického výzkumu – od základů stavby DNA až po praktické využití genetických databází a specializovaných nástrojů. Autor ukazuje, jak genetická genealogie a paleogenetika překračují hranice tradičních historických metod a přináší nové odpovědi na otázky, které byly dlouho považovány za neřešitelné. Na konkrétních příkladech – od identifikace ruské carské rodiny přes výzkum hrobu Richarda III. až po analýzy nálezů z Dolních Věstonic či hromadných hrobů z války roku 1866 – demonstruje, jak DNA propojuje archeologii, historii i osobní genealogii. Tato publikace je cenným průvodcem pro odborníky i vážné zájemce o rodinnou historii a ukazuje, že genetická genealogie a paleogenetika jsou plnohodnotným nástrojem pro poznání skrytých příběhů minulosti – a možná i klíčem k jejímu budoucímu zkoumání.

Soviet Tanks in Barbarossa 1941


The invasion of the Soviet Union saw the Red Army’s vast tank fleets crushed by the outnumbered Germans. Fully illustrated and packed with data, this book explains how and why.Contrary to popular belief, the largest tank battles of World War II were not during the Kursk campaign of 1943, but during Operation Barbarossa in the summer of 1941. The Soviet tank fleet was enormous – about 24,000 tanks facing about 3,500 Panzers. But despite the gross numerical imbalance in their favor, the summer 1941 campaign was a disaster for the Red Army. In this book, based on documents previously unpublished in the English language, world-renowned armor expert Steven J. Zaloga analyses why the Red Army performed so badly in Barbarossa. During the summer months, the Red Army lost about 15,000 tanks including most of its best new tanks such as the T-34s and KVs, and by winter, most of the pre-war arsenal had been lost. It was dubbed the “Tankoviy pogrom”: the Tank Massacre. Illustrated with archive photos and meticulously detailed original illustrations, it examines the organization and doctrine of the Red Army in 1941 as well as the principal tank types, including information and illustrations on unusual and little-known types such as the multi-turreted T-28 and T-35 heavy tanks.

The Need to lead


The highly anticipated third book in the phenomenally successful Extreme Ownership series, from ex-Navy Seals Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, the visionary authors behind Extreme Ownership and The Dichotomy of Leadership. Drawing from his experiences as a Marine Corps officer, fighter pilot and TOPGUN instructor, author Dave Berke, alongside Jocko Willink, illustrates how leadership is integral to overcoming every challenge. Berke’s insights, based on his time in combat and his role at Echelon Front, aim to help readers become better leaders and understand that leadership is a universal requirement for success, no matter the environment. By adopting the right leadership mindsets and behaviours, we gain the capacity to solve problems, support the people around us and amend our mistakes. How do we develop these necessary skills? By embracing the principles imparted to Berke from each humbling moment in the cockpit: EVERYONE IS A LEADER: From the CEO to the most junior employee, everyone at every level is a leader. Leadership isn’t about rank, title, position or function. The more people see themselves as leaders, the more they want to contribute to the team’s success. EVERY PROBLEM WE FACE IS A LEADERSHIP PROBLEM: The problems we confront at work aren’t caused by external factors. They are caused by our failure to lead. If a lack of leadership is the problem, and good leadership is the solution, then how we lead becomes the most critical factor affecting the outcome. LEADERSHIP IS A SKILL: Good leaders aren’t simply born. Leadership can be learned, which means every single person in the world can get better at it if they choose. This book is their guide. Through compelling stories from TOPGUN training and combat to the boardroom and at home, Berke gives readers the necessary tools to succeed.

Fallschirmjager vs US Soldier


Written by an authority on the Normandy battle, this book examines the battles between German airborne troops and US Army forces in July 1944.For six weeks in the summer of 1944, US forces tasked with capturing the vital road hub of Saint-Lô in Normandy struggled to make progress amid the bocage ? hedgerow country interspersed with marshland, where infantry would have to do most of the fighting. The Germans deployed some of their toughest infantrymen, the renowned Fallschirmjäger ? highly motivated, well-equipped Luftwaffe volunteers formed around cadres of veterans ? to defend this sector. Despite the American superiority in terms of armour, aircraft and materiel, the US infantrymen would need to evict the Germans in an exhausting series of close-quarter battles.Featuring expert analysis, carefully chosen photographs and newly commissioned artwork, this book compares the combatants'' ethos, doctrine and training and assesses their performance during three key engagements: the German raid on Mont Castre (July 6/7); the brutal struggle for Hill 192 (July 11?13); and the climactic battles for Saint-Lô (July 11?21).

Central Pacific 1943–45


The little-known history of the Hawaii-based Seventh Air Force''s war as it fought in all the major island campaigns from the Gilberts and Marshalls to the Marianas, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.Rebuilt after being shattered at Pearl Harbor, the Hawaii-based Seventh Air Force was assigned responsibility for the new Central Pacific Area, which (bar Midway) was then very quiet. But when the Navy began its counteroffensive in late 1943, Seventh Air Force was sent into action as the USAAF''s contribution to the Central Pacific. In this book, military historian Brian Lane Herder details Seventh Air Force’s part in the Pacific War, actions long overshadowed by the Navy’s carrier war. He explains how Seventh Air Force fought in all the major 1943–45 Central Pacific campaigns – the Gilberts, Marshalls, Marianas, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. As each island fell, and sometimes with the airfield still under Japanese fire, a detachment flew ashore to provide organic air defense and to start attacking the next targets. The Seventh provided a major part of the airpower at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and as the end of the war approached, its P-51s and P-47s then flew ultra-long-range B-29 escort missions. Researched almost entirely from primary sources, this book is spectacularly illustrated with many unpublished photos, original artwork, maps and 3D diagrams. It is a long-overdue account of Seventh Air Force''s unjustly overlooked Pacific War campaign.

Wittgenstein on Private Language, Sensation and Perception


Wittgenstein's critique of private language in the Philosophical Investigations does not attempt to refute the possibility of a private sensation-language, let alone in any one argument, as has often been thought. Nor does it aim to establish that language is intrinsically social. Instead, PI §§243–315 presents a series of arguments, suggestions, questions, examples and thought-experiments whose purpose is to undermine the temptation to think of sensations and perceptual experiences as private objects occupying a private phenomenal space. These themes are clear developments of Wittgenstein's earlier critique of sense-datum theories (1929–1936) and his insight that naming is more complex than he had assumed in the Tractatus.

Motherland


Award-winning journalist Julia Ioffe tells the story of modern Russia through the history of its women, from revolution to utopia to autocracy. In 1990, seven-year-old Julia Ioffe and her family fled the Soviet Union. Nearly twenty years later, Ioffe returned to Moscow-only to discover just how much Russian society had changed while she had been living in America. The Soviet women she had known growing up-doctors, engineers, scientists-had seemingly been replaced with women desperate to marry rich and become stay-at-home moms. How had Russia gone from portraying itself as the vanguard of world feminism to the last bastion of conservative Christian values? In Motherland, Ioffe turns modern Russian history on its head, telling it exclusively through the stories of its women. From her own physician great-grandmothers to Lenin's lover, a feminist revolutionary; from the hundreds of thousands of Soviet girls who fought in World War II to the millions of single mothers who rebuilt and repopulated a devastated country; from the members of Pussy Riot to Yulia Navalnaya, wife of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, she chronicles one of the most audacious social experiments in history and how it failed the very women it was meant to liberate-and documents how that failure paved the way to the revanche of Vladimir Putin. Part memoir, part journalistic exploration, part history, Motherland paints a portrait of modern Russia through the women who shaped it. With deep emotion, Ioffe shows what it means to live through the cataclysms of revolution, war, idealism, and heartbreak-and reveals how the story of Russia today is inextricably tied to the history of its women.

This Way Up


The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical nerds, The Map Men! Hello, we're the Map Men, and in the following pages we've selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old and some are so recent they're being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow). They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you're an avid map junkie or simply 'map-curious', you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: 'What on earth happened here?' So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps.
