Jsou chvíle, kdy se dítě nerozpláče kvůli bolesti ani strachu, ale kvůli tomu, že věci nejdou podle jeho představ. Stačí drobné zklamání, nečekaná změna plánů nebo konflikt s někým blízkým a radost je pryč. Místo ní přichází hněv, podrážděnost nebo ostrá slova, kterých později litujeme. Kniha Ako Alexovi šklbalo chvostíkom od známého biblického poradce Davida Powlisona pomáhá rodičům otevřít s dětmi důležitý rozhovor o hněvu, odpuštění, usmíření a proměně srdce. Když se ve veverčí rodině nepodaří společné sbírání žaludů podle plánu, napětí postupně roste. Alex, jeho rodiče i sourozenec Kaspián se musí vyrovnat s emocemi, které dobře znají děti i dospělí. Prostřednictvím poutavého příběhu a krásných ilustrací objevují malí čtenáři, proč hněv vzniká, jak ovlivňuje naše vztahy a kde hledat pomoc, když si s ním sami nevíme rady. Stejně jako ostatní knihy z této oblíbené série pomáhá i tento příběh dětem nahlédnout do vlastního srdce a poznávat, jak evangelium Pána Ježíše Krista proměňuje každodenní situace, které zažívají doma, ve škole i mezi kamarády.

Jsou chvíle, kdy děti vědí, že něco není správné, a přesto je pro ně velmi těžké odolat. Touha mít něco hned, získat ještě víc nebo udělat to, po čem právě touží, dokáže být silnější, než si samy přejí. Právě tehdy potřebují poznat, že na svůj boj nemusí být samy. Kniha Miško v sladkej pasci musel mít ještě víc od známého biblického poradce Davida Powlisona pomáhá rodičům otevřít s dětmi důležitý rozhovor o pokušení, sebeovládání, žádostivosti a pomoci, kterou nabízí Pán Ježíš Kristus. Miško Medvedík miluje sladkosti. Když však jeho touha po dalších dobrotách začne přerůstat v něco většího, dostává se do situace, která ho přiměje přemýšlet o tom, proč někdy děláme věci, o kterých víme, že nejsou správné. Prostřednictvím poutavého příběhu a krásných ilustrací objevují malí čtenáři, že pokušení není nic neobvyklého a že existuje Někdo, kdo jim může pomoci obstát i ve chvílích, kdy se cítí slabí. Stejně jako ostatní knihy z této oblíbené série pomáhá i tento příběh dětem nahlédnout do vlastního srdce a poznávat, jak evangelium Pána Ježíše Krista proměňuje každodenní zápasy, které zažívají doma, ve škole i mezi kamarády.

Jak přes lákadla a odměny naučit psa významu vašich slov „Výchozí myšlenka téhle knihy je prostá: je nejvyšší čas, abychom si plně uvědomili obrovskou hodnotu výchovy psů založené na lákadlech a odměnách, která je šetrná vůči psům i vůči lidem, rychlá a snadná, zábavná a plná her, probíhá bez vodítka a opírá se o výsledky. Tyhle techniky jsem utvářel a upravoval během uplynulých padesáti let. Trénink lákadlo-odměna je nejsnadnější, nejrychlejší a nejúčinnější způsob, jak naučit psa význam vašich slov, a tak otevřít komunikační kanály, které vám podstatně usnadní vštěpování základů způsobného chování, prevenci nebo řešení problémů s chováním a výchovou a postupně zformují povahu a osobnost vašeho psa.“ Dr. Ian Dunbar Veterinář a behaviorista Dr. Ian Dunbar v roce 1982 vytvořil metodu SIRIUS® Puppy Training, která znamenala revoluci v trénování štěňat a psů. Jeho jedinečný způsob tréninku bez vodítka metodou lákadlo-odměna nabídl alternativu ke škubání za vodítko, alfa převalení, výcvikovým obojkům a jiným averzivním prostředkům. Koncepty a metody Dr. Dunbara ovlivnily snad všechny trenéry psů po celém světě. Největší výhody metody lákadlo-odměna: - Snadno a rychle naučíme psa rozumět významu našich slovních povelů, aby věděl, kdy a kde se venčit, co okusovat, kdy a jak dlouho štěkat, kdy a jak vhodně „vypouštět páru“ a spoustu dalších věcí. - Průběžně můžeme testovat, zda a jak moc dobře nám rozumí. - Naučíme se používat co nejvíc odměn ze života, jako jsou procházky nebo hry s jinými psy. - Hrajeme se psem hry, které u něj rozvíjejí sebemotivaci. - Nevhodné chování a neposlušnost řešíme pomocí účinných neaverzivních technik Veterinář a behaviorista Dr. Ian Dunbar v roce 1982 vytvořil metodu SIRIUS® Puppy Training, která znamenala revoluci v trénování štěňat a psů.

In 1941, a year after France formally surrendered, Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the Free French forces, appointed Jean Moulin to coordinate the various resistance movements that had sprung up all over France. His mission was to unify the diverse and often fragmented resistance groups into a more cohesive organization. He successfully brought together various resistance factions under the umbrella of the National Council of the Resistance (CNR), which was a crucial step toward creating a united front against both the Nazis and the Vichy French regime. Since the start of the Occupation, the Germans realized that resistance to their rule was inevitable. With this in mind, they went about establishing total control of France, not only through the German Army forces stationed in the country, but using the entire Nazi security apparatus. From 1941 onwards, the Germans began to encounter frequent and increasingly more damaging acts of resistance, which required not only intelligence and counter-intelligence work, but the launching of raids and small operations. The intensity of partisan attacks began to increase even more in 1942. This level of resistance grew even greater in 1943. By then, the partisans were selectively challenging local German garrisons and collaborator forces in the French countryside. By the beginning of 1944, the Resistance, or Maquis as it was also known, became bolder, even establishing so-called Free-French republics in various regions of the country. Employing primary source documents from several archives, author Antonio Munoz has produced a one-volume study that fully covers the partisan and anti-partisan struggle in France from 1940 through to 1944. Hitler’s War Against the French Resistance, 1940-1944 is a valuable reference source for those who wish to study the guerrilla and anti-guerrilla struggle during the Second World War.

Ever since Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe and deputy Führer, crunched a cyanide capsule between his teeth and died the night before his execution for war crimes, speculation about his death has never ended. The question of how Goering obtained the poison led to an official investigation, several reviews, intense debates, many books and articles, and several dramatizations and documentaries. Yet none have been able to provide a compelling and convincing explanation. The answer to this riddle was in fact unfathomable without the knowledge of key pieces of information contained within statements made by two military personnel who, late in their lives, revealed that they had been present during that history-defining moment of 1945. Combined with all the documentation previously obtained by investigators, and recently published records, the actual sequence of events of that fateful day can at last be understood. Just six US and British officers knew what took place on the day Goering received the cyanide capsule that allowed him to escape being hanged by his enemies and, in the eyes of his legions of followers, die a martyr – the very end the Allies were so desperate to avoid. Of those six Allied officers, four died taking their secrets with them. The revelations of the remaining two only came to light during casual meetings. The disclosures made by the first of the two former wartime officers, during an interview he gave in 2003, are as astounding as they are unequivocal – yet it seems they have never been fully scrutinised until now. Goering’s Suicide: ‘They Will Not Hang Me!’ chronicles events that occurred in Nuremberg during the crucial eight-week period in the autumn of 1945 that immediately preceded the start of the International Military Tribunal in which twenty-four leaders of Nazi Germany who had planned, carried out, or otherwise participated in the Holocaust and other war crimes, were tried. The author, Paul Hooley, believed the information received about Goering’s suicide was too important for it not to be shared with the world. Now, the truth has been revealed.

Discover a thrilling true story of treachery, deceit, hope and despair. From the moment Mary, Queen of Scots set foot on English soil in 1568 until her execution at Fotheringhay Castle on 8 February 1587, she was the prisoner of her cousin, Elizabeth I. Unlike Mary’s time on the Scottish throne, the dramatic events of these years – almost half her life – took place while she was a captive. But while trouble was perpetually simmering beyond her prison walls, within them Mary was constantly plotting. Only towards the end did she lose faith in returning to her homeland as rightful ruler. This is the story of Mary’s tumultuous later years, told through the many atmospheric locations where she was confined. Drawing on the latest research, including a treasure trove of recently decoded letters, Exile sheds fascinating new light on her captivity and the charged political climate of the period. Reading like a 16th-century thriller, this account of treachery, deceit, hope and despair is a penetrating and enthralling psychological portrait of one of history’s endlessly fascinating queens.

R.Sikoryak revisits the Declaration of Independence on 250th anniversary of its signing. R. Sikoryak, the cartoonist who cemented his reputation as the king of the visual mash-up with Masterpiece Comics and The Unquotable Trump, sets his sights on the document that explained to the world why America s thirteen colonies were to be sovereign states. A prequel of sorts to his Constitution Illustrated, Sikoryak presents the unabridged text of the Declaration, rendered in the bright, bold, and iconic styles of over 60 different American comics, cartoons, and graphic novels from over a century. The severing of colonial ties to Great Britain has never been more vividly manifested than in the skillful hands of Sikoryak, who doesn't hesitate to dream up Jeffy from Family Circus as Thomas Jefferson and Elmer Fudd as a British Redcoat. King George III is deliciously portrayed as pop culture s most famous villains, such as Thanos, The Joker, Scar from The Lion King, and many more. Sikoryak also skillfully adopts the styles of such comic artists as Will Eisner of The Spirit, Allie Brosh of Solutions and Other Problems, Morrie Turner of Wee Pals, Mark Beyer of Amy and Jordan, and Floyd Gottfredson of Mickey Mouse. Declaration Illustrated is an entertaining multilayered history lesson for buffs of the American Revolution and American comics.

The Hebrew word hesed is often translated as love, faithfulness, loyalty, or steadfastness of God, but it means so much more. Could hesed be the seed from which the diverse biblical story grows and expand? raditionally, Old Testament theology has focused on key themes or a "center" around which to organize the Old Testament. These approaches may help unify the Old Testament, but they also ignore important material and simplify the Old Testament's complexity and diversity. As an alternative to a gravitational center that reduces, Jennifer M. Matheny's argument emphasizes possibilities as she posits that hesed is the relational seed from which the complex and diverse biblical story grows. In her accessibly written analysis, Matheny engages theologically with the Torah, Prophets, and Writings to trace hesed's relational impact through the Old Testament. Through stories, poems, and songs of broken covenants, war, and exile, Matheny also shows how violence and injustice reign when humanity fails to be keepers and doers of Yhwh's hesed, while justice and hope prevail when humanity chooses courageous acts of hesed. This fresh, introductory-level approach emphasizes the importance of story, complexity, and diversity--and how we do hesed to others and back to Yhwh.

This is the history of Britain’s armaments industry during the Second World War. It begins with the rearmament before the war and shows how a shadow industry was prepared, in response to German aggression. See how industry was organised and programmed, before learning how armaments were researched, designed and developed. The narrative then looks at how enlistment was controlled, how skilled workers were deployed and how manufacturing was diluted, to allow tens of thousands of unemployed men and women to play their part. The story continues with an explanation of the importance of the coal and oil industries, followed by the development of the metal industries. It then looks at the huge amounts of imports and merchant shipping required, as well as the American Lend Lease programme. See how factories equipped the Royal Air Force, so it could fight the Battle of Britain, and reequipped the British Army following the disaster at Dunkirk. Also learn how the shipyards worked around the clock on warships and merchant ships, so the Royal Navy could defend the nation and protect the supply convoys. See how the lessons learnt on the battlefield helped modify early factory designs into practical ones. Learn how the war changed relations between the government, the employers, the unions, and the workforce. See how issues could cause widespread industrial unrest, as the cost of living rose and the rules became stricter. Also learn how the desire to improve production improved health and safety at work, welfare arrangements and developed management and human resources. We also see how the Luftwaffe attempt to cripple British industry with its aerial Blitz. The story ends with a nation being pushed to its limits for a second time in thirty years, before suddenly demobilising, again leaving the British people wondering what the future would hold for them.
