Understanding WW2
As oral history gains long-overdue recognition, its power to illuminate the past has never been more vital. From buried time capsules to the preserved voices, letters, diaries, photographs and films of those who lived through history’s most pivotal moments, this book explores how personal testimony shapes our understanding of truth. Split into six main chapters and focussing on the Second World War years, Andrew Sangster starts by analysing personal letters from key players on both sides – Himmler, Rommel and Patton – before exploring the diaries of Lord Alan Brooke, Goebbels and Galeazzo Ciano, to name but a few. The final chapters explore the significance of the recorded notes from the Nuremberg Trials, before explaining the merits of autobiographies written after the fact. With honesty and clarity, the author reveals the challenges historians face – how memories can shift, how documents can be altered and how autobiographies, even in their sincerity, must be handled with care. Still, within these fragile records lie invaluable insights: motives, emotions and the human reactions that traditional archives often overlook. Balanced and engaging, Understanding WW2 is an essential guide to the promise and pitfalls of oral history – and a compelling reminder that the voices of ordinary men and women are as crucial to our collective memory as those of the famous and powerful.
Slapton Sands - The Missing Men
In April 1944 with the D-Day invasion looming, a convoy of American landing craft sailed along England’s south coast. In the dead of night, German E-boats struck and within minutes, ships were sunk, hundreds of US servicemen were dead, and the Allies had suffered their greatest loss of life in the build-up to the invasion of Normandy. The tragedy was quickly buried under wartime secrecy laws, yet for decades, rumours persisted. Were all the bodies recovered? Or did some of the missing men remain hidden, buried in Dorset field? ward-winning investigative author Gary Sterne, known for Cover Up at Omaha Beach and Cover Up at Pointe du Hoc, has spent years uncovering hidden truths about the Normandy campaign. A chance meeting with a veteran set him on the trail of the Slapton Sands mystery. Through meticulous research and the discovery of long-forgotten British, American, and German documents, he has pieced together the events of that night in unprecedented detail.For the first time, the fate of every missing man is revealed - their names and what truly happened to them. Acclaimed by historians, this groundbreaking work finally resolves an 80-year-old enigma and shines new light on one of the Second World War’s most tragic and secretive episodes.
Operation Spider’s Web
It was a lazy Sunday morning in Russia on 1 June 2025. The war with Ukraine had been going for over three years. That morning 117 Ukrainian drones rose up from the back of four trucks deep inside Russia itself and started flying towards their targets – a number of Russian airbases. They were Ukrainian made Osa (‘Wasp’) quadcopters. They were packed in crates of around twenty-seven drones each and driven across the country in the back of cargo trucks. The unsuspecting Russian truck drivers thought they were delivering materials for pre-fabricated houses. Instead, several of the drivers were asked to pull over at a local gas station or parking lot, and then suddenly the cover of the cargo container came off and more than two dozen drones took off towards a nearby air base. The Russian drivers were taken completely by surprise. The drones then attacked the Russian bombers at four air bases across the vast expanse of Russia, from a base above the arctic circle near Murmansk, to the heart of European Russia, out to the middle of Siberia, near Lake Baikal. Large old Russian strategic bombers, like Tu-95s and Tu-22s came under attack, along with Russia’s valuable Airborne Early Warning and Control Beriat A-50s. Maybe two dozen planes were attacked by the drones on three of the airfields, and it appears that over a dozen were destroyed. This attack stunned Russia, as this was their strategic bomber force. Not only was it being used to regularly strike at Ukrainian infrastructure and cities, but these were the nuclear-capable strategic bombers that were an important part of their Strategic Deterrent Forces. Some Russians, in shock, equated it to a Russian Pearl Harbor. This book explores the full story of a covert attack that has changed the rules of military warfare forever.
When In Rome
Since the time of ancient Rome, science has explained many phenomena, including the rotation of the Earth around the Sun. But the Romans, who built the first roads, aqueducts, baths, and security walls, didn’t have the comfort of an earth sciences textbook. They needed the powerful beings of religious imagination to explain why the world doesn’t end when winter comes and the food sources die. The story of Pluto and Proserpina explains why the world is warm one moment and freezing six months later. Pluto, the god of the underworld, falls madly in love with Proserpina, daughter of the harvest goddess Ceres. Ceres, whose good will powers agriculture, goes on a climate-ravaging rampage, flooding and scorching the earth’s food crops. In her grief, she brings humanity to the edge of starvation. But the gods need humanity. So Pluto brokers a deal with Ceres to share Proserpina. When she is with her mother, the world is spring and summer. When she is with Pluto, Ceres moderates her grief into a survivable winter. When in Rome is a new look at Roman gods, such as Pluto, Ceres, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus, as well as heroes like Hercules, Perseus, Jason, and Medea. Author Lynn Hamilton mines original Roman sources — Ovid, Apuleius, Virgil, and Hyginus — to uncover what is most enduring in this canon of ancient stories.
Tanks and Armour in the Battle for Moscow
From the moment Germany launched its invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, code-named Operation Barbarossa, Hitler was fixated on the capture of Moscow. Yet his fear of exposing the flanks of the German Central Front led to costly diversions north and south at Leningrad and Kiev, delaying the assault on the Russian capital. When the Battle of Moscow – Operation Typhoon – finally began on 30 September, the Panzerwaffe was already weakened while Soviet forces had fortified their defences and reinforced their lines. Spanning a 370-mile front, 3rd and 4th Panzer Armies in the north and 2nd Panzer Army in the south surged towards Moscow in a vast pincer movement with hundreds of tanks and assault guns in tow, relying on the familiar tactics of Blitzkrieg. But what followed was no lightning war. Instead, German tanks and infantry were dragged into a gruelling battle of attrition during the coldest recorded winter of the twentieth century. Snowbound and under-supplied, with entire units freezing to death, the offensive ground to a halt before the gates of the capital. Tanks and Armour in the Battle for Moscow offers a compelling visual account of the Panzerwaffe’s doomed advance on Moscow, drawing on over 130 rare and unpublished wartime photographs. Through detailed captions and expert narrative, it follows the campaign from its faltering restart in the spring of 1942 to the bloody Rzhev-Sychyovka offensive and beyond, charting how the Germans lost the initiative on the Eastern Front. By early 1943, any hope of capturing Moscow had vanished, and a protracted retreat westward had begun – one that would not end until the Reich itself lay in ruins.
RAF in Camera: 1980-1984
Britain changed more in the 1980s than in almost any recent decade, as readers will recall with differing emotions. A decade dominated by the rise of the City and the fall of the Unions, the wider retreat of the left and the return of military confidence, it also featured an energy of entrepreneurialism, but with entrenched unemployment – more than twice as high in the mid-1980s boom as when Margaret Thatcher took office in 1979. Innovation and technology reigned in the decade that spawned mobile telephones and the World Wide Web: where would the younger generation be without these items in their lives toda? o many, it was more simply seen as the decade of Margaret Thatcher, yuppies, chunky mobile telephones, and BMX bikes – although in reality it featured so much more, including the little matter of not one, but two royal weddings, and the Argentinian invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1982. With little apparent diplomatic alternative, Britain set about creating a task force to recover the islands – effectively declaring war on Argentina.During the 1980s, only a few aircraft types were completely withdrawn from the RAF, most of them hardly creating a whimper. These included the Whirlwind HAR.10 helicopter, the Devon C.1, the Pembroke C.1, and some of the earlier Jet Provost T.3, T.4 and T.5 aircraft. However, during the decade, the RAF said farewell to a pair of military icons – the Avro Vulcan in 1984, and the English Electric Lightning in 1988.Aircraft arriving into RAF service included the Tornado GR.1 in the strike/attack role, an aircraft that had been developed as the Multi-role Combat Aircraft (MRCA) by a multi-national organisation from Italy, Germany, and the UK. It was soon followed into service by the Tornado F.2 and F.3 interceptor variants in the Air Defence role. Other new aircraft and helicopters to enter service during the decade included the Chinook HC.1, the Harrier GR.5, the British Aerospace BAe 146 CC.1, and the Tucano T.1.The 1980s was something of a decade of ‘mend and make do: the RAF purchased a batch of former US Navy F-4J Phantom aircraft as an air defence stop-gap, converted six Vulcan B.2 aircraft into AAR tanker platforms, and later, converted six Hercules C.1 aircraft into single-point C.1K tankers, initially for use on the Falklands Air Bridge. Further second-hand purchases included a number of former airline Lockheed Tristar and Vickers VC10 aircraft; once converted, these aircraft would later provide the backbone of the RAF’s strategic and tactical tanking force for the foreseeable future.Keith Wilson takes up from where he left off with RAF in Camera 1970s, continuing the journey through another significant decade. All of the landmark events are covered in this thorough, well-researched and image-packed publication.Each chapter focuses on a specific year, detailing all of the highlights and events that characterised it. As with previous volumes in this series, this new addition to the In Camera series is sure to be regarded as a collector’s edition and a real enthusiast’s favourite.
És így leszel egyre jobban
„Akkor érzed otthon magad a bőrödben, ha egyszerűen tudod, hogy mindig rendben leszel. De nem azért, mert minden úgy fog alakulni, ahogy azt eltervezted, hanem mert mindig képes leszel alkalmazkodni az adott helyzethez, akkor is, ha a dolgok nagyon nem úgy alakulnak, ahogyan remélted. Akkor érezheted otthon magad a bőrödben, ha tudod, hogy mindig fejlődni fogsz, és töretlenül haladsz előre az utadon. Ez pedig nem azt jelenti, hogy számodra nem lesz nehéz az elengedés, csak annyit jelent, hogy igenis képes vagy véghez vinni a nehéz dolgokat is. Akkor érzed otthon magad a bőrödben, ha tudod, hogy mindig meg fogod találni a békét. De nem azért, mert mindig a kényelmes utat választod, hanem mert hajlandó leszel felvállalni a kényelmetlenségeket is azért, hogy olyan életet élhess, amilyet mindig is akartál. Az élet több a puszta vegetálásnál. Nem azért születtünk erre a világra, hogy mások elképzeléseiben találjuk meg a biztonságot önmagunknak. Azért vagyunk itt, hogy megértsük, mi vagyunk a saját létezésünk oka és mindannak a forrása, amit itt a földön létrehozunk. Azért vagyunk itt, hogy hazataláljunk önmagunkba, és megmutassuk a többieknek, hogy miként találhatják meg ők is a saját útjukat önmagukhoz.”
Nem tudod, miért fájnak még mindig a múlt sebei, miért térnek vissza a rossz emlékek éjszakánként, miért érzed magad néha üresnek?
Brianna Wiest, a New York Times bestsellerszerzője megmutatja, hogyan kerülhetsz ki ebből az állapotból, és végigkísér azon a rögös, de gyönyörű úton, ami a gyógyuláshoz vezet. Wiest könyörtelenül őszinte, mégis gyengéd – mint egy régi barát, aki ismeri a kétségeidet, és melletted áll, amikor magad alatt vagy. Segít abban, hogy szembenézz a traumáiddal anélkül, hogy összeroppannál a súlyuk alatt; hogy elengedd azt, ami már nem szolgálja a lelki jóllétedet; hogy erővé alakítsd át a fájdalmat.
A fájdalom nem büntet, hanem tanít. Engedd, hogy vezessen.
Ehhez eszközöket is kapsz: naplófeladatokat, amik feltárják a rejtett viselkedési mintáidat; meditációkat, amik lecsendesítik a benned dúló vihart, és bölcsességeket, amik emlékeztetnek: egyedül te tudod meggyógyítani magad.
A gyógyulás nem egyenletes folyamat. Néha visszaesel, hogy erősebben állj fel.
Nyisd ki ezt a könyvet, és kezdd el a saját történeted új fejezetét.
Mert megérdemled a szabadságot.
Dítě s chováním náročným na péči
Odbornice v oblasti rodičovství a neurověd Robyn Gobbel říká, že ať je chování dítěte sebevíce matoucí a nepředvídatelné, je vždy možné ho vysvětlit a usměrnit. Je jen třeba zamyslet se nad tím, co se stalo před tím, a pochopit, co se v dítěti děje. Využívá aktuálních poznatků z oblasti neurověd a snaží se rodiče i pedagogy dětí s nepředvídatelným a matoucím chováním dovést k pochopení toho, co se jim dítě snaží sdělit. Autorka průběžně apeluje na nutnost zachování bezpečí pro všechny, tedy pro dítě i jeho okolí.
Nepředvídatelné, matoucí a nesrozumitelné chování bývá často nebezpečné, děti poškozují sebe samé, vrhají se do riskantních situací, což se mnohde stáje ještě řeší medikací a omezujícími prostředky. Do jaké míry je jisté omezení nutné? A co dělat pro to, abychom po něm museli sáhnout pouze v opravdu výjimečných situacích? Toto chování často provází děti s hlubší poruchou autistického spektra, s mentální retardací a někdy se týká i dětí s metabolickými vadami. A samozřejmě je problémem i u dětí s vývojovou poruchou chování.
Ač se kniha zabývá závažným problémem, nepostrádá jistou míru nadsázky a nadhledu a vede k pozitivnímu vnímání dítěte, k tomu, aby jej rodiče a pedagogové viděli jako celého člověka a ne pouze jako soubor (náročných) symptomů.

A Tisza áradása
A kötet Hann Endre ajánlásával jelenik meg.
Ez a könyv nem utólag magyaráz. Ez a könyv ott volt. 2024 februárjában egyetlen, akkor még értelmezhetetlen lépéssel indult az egész. Egy ismeretlen arc a képernyőn, egy mondat, ami más volt, mint a többi. Bojár Iván András, aki a Magyar Narancs című híres hetilap első főszerkesztője volt, végzettsége szerint művészettörténész, jelenleg ismert író és véleményformáló közéleti személyiség. Ösztönből fordult a klaviatúrához, ahogy évtizedek óta teszi, ha a történelem szaga érződik a levegőben. Nem hitt, nem remélt. Csak figyelt. Jegyzetelt. Mérlegelt. Túl sokszor látta már, hogyan fullad keserűségbe, hogyan bénul meg minden demokratikus kísérlet. De Magyar Péter, majd a nyomában felnövekedő Tisza nem állt meg. Hétről hétre, hónapról hónapra hömpölygött, és vitte magával az országot. Meg a szerzőt. Hűvös megfigyelőből előbb döbbent tanú lett, aztán dühös résztvevő, végül a rendszerváltás lelkes krónikása. A naplóval együtt változott ő is: a távolságtartásból hit lett, a kételyből sürgetés, a jegyzetelésből kiáltvány. Két éven át, napról napra követheti, hogyan reped meg egy betonnak hitt rendszer. Ott lesz a Kossuth téren, amikor először kimondják: győzhetünk. Ott lesz a vidéki roadshow-kon, ahol egy ország tanul meg újra remélni. Ott lesz a szerkesztőségben, a családi asztalnál, az éjszakai vitákban, ahol eldől, hogy ez most tényleg más lesz. És ott lesz azon a tavaszi estén, amikor a kivetítőn felizzik a mondat, amire 16 éve várunk: „Orbán Viktor gratulált Magyar Péternek”. Ez a könyv nem politológusi elemzés, nem memoár, nem történelemkönyv. Ez maga a történelem, ahogy történik. Nincs benne utólagos bölcsesség, nincs kozmetika. Ami bizonytalan volt, az a lapokon is bizonytalan. Ami felemelő volt, az ma is felemel. Újra élheti a pillanatot, amikor egy ország visszakapta a jövőjét. A TISZA ÁRADÁSA nem csak elmeséli a rendszerváltást. Belöki a közepébe, és amikor leteszi, már tudni fogja: 2026 áprilisa nem egy folyamat vége volt, hanem a kezdet
The Next China is Still China
Both a revelatory, insight-filled playbook for doing business in China and a probing look at why the country, despite the challenges it faces, still possesses unrivaled prospects for growth and entrepreneurial opportunity-by two leaders who, over the course of decades, have taken turns helming McKinsey's China-based management consulting.
In just forty years, China has transformed from a closed economy into a global powerhouse. Riding the tailwinds of its massive labor supply, aggressive infrastructure investment, and ingrained work ethic, the nation became a haven of opportunity. However, more recently, shifting demographics, less torrid growth, and an increasingly complex geopolitical environment have caused some to wonder: Where lies the next China? The authors of this book have a bold and unequivocal answer: the next China is still China.
There is no substitute for the Chinese market. China accounts for a staggering 30% of global manufacturing and 18% of global GDP, surpassing the European Union and trailing only the United States. With nearly five million STEM graduates each year (more than the total number of US degree graduates across all fields!), China is well-positioned in an era of technological automation, artificial intelligence, and data-powered innovation. However, the strategies that once propelled businesses to success in China are no longer sufficient. A new playbook is needed.
The Next China Is Still China will answer a range of provocative questions, including:
* Will China with its aging population fall into a Japan-style stagnation, or can it maintain its superpower trajectory?
* What is exciting about the country's vaunted "China speed," and how can multinationals continue leveraging it for outsized profits?
* What is the key to pleasing China's "hyper-switching" consumers who have little brand loyalty?
* Amid rising nationalism and geopolitical risk, should global firms rethink their China presence or, instead, double down?
* As America's tech giants make massive investment in AI, can China's fast-adapting innovation ecosystem keep up?
The Next China Is Still China upends conventional wisdom, providing fresh actionable strategies for winning in the years ahead.

The Romans
The definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. Yet for more than two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the sweeping, untold story of a civilisation that refused to fall.
The Romans tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic scale: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic to the rise of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the emergence of Islam and the Crusades that would ultimately bring the empire to an end. It is also the story of diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals, and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.
How To Try Again
The personal development book for people who don't have time for personal development.
Some people wake up at 4 a.m., run 15 miles barefoot and have an ice bath. This book is for the rest of us.
Let's start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected and can surprise us at the worst possible time.
In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb gives you permission to be imperfect and ditch the 'tough love' (which doesn't work) and still get things done. Drawing from his seventeen years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at Nerd Fitness, Kamb seamlessly blends philosophy, psychology, real-life stories and hilarious insights from pop culture to help you confidently navigate life's chaos.
In this practical and humorous guide, you'll learn how to:
Embrace failure as the first step, not the last.
Escape the 'Doom Loop' and finally break free.
Strategically tread water when overwhelmed.
Pick the right 'thing' to try next and follow through.
This book isn't for the superhuman few; it's for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they're never going to be able to change. The overworked parents, burned-out employees and frustrated people who can't seem to make progress.
It's time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick - without the guilt.
This is Fascism
Fascism is back. This time no swastikas, Nazi flags, or deadly bureaucracy, but MAGA hats, right-wing extremist memes, and a triumphant fist held high. For the first time in modern history, far right parties in some European countries have won a larger share of the votes than the Conservatives and the Social Democrats.
Fascism hollows out democracies from within. It starts with language, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup.
But how do fascists mobilise citizens? How has fascism become normalised in Europe again? And how do we stop it?
What is Philosophy of Language?
Language is a major part of what makes us human. We effortlessly attach meaning to sounds and marks, in themselves meaningless, to convey to one another our beliefs, desires, intentions, and other states of mind. How is this amazing feat possibl? laudine Verheggen introduces readers to the fascinating study of language from a philosophical perspective. She sheds light on the nature of linguistic meaning by investigating two broad categories of questions: one concerns the relation between meaning and the extra-linguistic reality language users talk about, the other concerns the relation between meaning and facts about language users themselves. Verheggen explores the views of prominent philosophers and lays the foundations that help us to address questions in an array of other subdisciplines to which philosophy of language is relevant, from psychology to political theory. Throughout, she pays special attention to the many different ways in which words are used, asking whether language is fundamentally a social phenomenon and whether conventions are essential to it. Lively and accessible, built on a strong narrative structure, What is Philosophy of Language? is a key resource for any philosophy student or philosophically minded person with a passion for language.
