The Battle of Cherbourg
In developing plans for the Allied invasion of France, from the very beginning, SHAEF planners considered the vital need to secure deepwater ports to bring in all the supplies needed to support an army of hundreds of thousands of troops. Cherbourg, at the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula, was the closest to the landing beaches chosen for Operation ‘Overlord’. The planners therefore decided to land forces at the base on the peninsula, in order to enable the rapid capture of Cherbourg, and also to widen the front of the landing. The First US Army was tasked to capture it as quickly as possible. In the early hours of June 6, paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions landed inland from Utah Beach to capture the beach exits, and secure the crossings over the Douve River at Carentan. On June 10, the 101st Airborne Division captured Carentan, thus liaising with the Omaha beachhead and ensuring the Allies a continuous front. This success allowed VII Corps to advance westward to isolate the Cotentin Peninsula. On June 18, the 9th Infantry Division reached the west coast of the peninsula, and within 24 hours, the 4th, 9th, and 79th Infantry Divisions advanced northward. Within two days, they were within striking distance of Cherbourg, but the German commander, Generalleutnant Karl-Wilhelm von Schlieben, rejected a summons to surrender and began demolitions of the port. The VII Corps launched a general assault on June 22. Resistance was initially strong, but the Americans gradually drove the German defenders from their bunkers and pillboxes. Allied warships and cruisers bombarded the defences on the 25th, and the 79th Division captured Fort du Roule, which dominated Cherbourg and its defences, on the 26th. General von Schlieben surrendered the same day, and the port and arsenal capitulated on the 27th. Fregattenkapitän Witt, the port commander, escaped by boat to the Fort de l’Ouest, a bastion on the breakwater, and took command of the small forces holding this fort and the Fort du Centre. After two days of artillery hammering and several bombing raids, the two strongholds surrendered on June 29. The Battle of Cherbourg was over. In the battle for the Cotentin and Cherbourg, VII Corps had suffered over 22,000 casualties, while the Germans had lost 39,000 men taken prisoner, in addition to an unknown number killed. The early capture of Cherbourg was a major defeat for the Germans. In their plan to deny the Allies access to French ports, the German high command had anticipated that Cherbourg could hold out for several weeks (as Brest was soon to do). The capitulation of the Festung came much earlier than expected, and Hitler’s inner circle considered the fortress’s commander, General von Schlieben, a very poor commander. However, his engineers had carried out intensive demolition of the port, which was so thoroughly destroyed and mined that it was only put back into very limited use by mid-August. This, then, is the story of the capture of Cherbourg, the first Allied victory in Normandy, told through more than a hundred ‘Then and Now’ comparison photographs, which really bring history to life. You will thus be able to walk precisely in the footsteps of the heroes of this great moment in history.
Mosquito Special Operations in the Second World War
The Mosquito was the most successful battle-winning multi-role combat aircraft of the Second World War. It was introduced by the de Havilland Aircraft Company as an unarmed, un-interceptable, long range, high speed, high altitude medium bomber. An unarmed bomber without protective armament was a concept that ran directly contrary to the tactical doctrines of both the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Force. Notwithstanding, it was developed to carry out almost unlimited roles including ground-attack dive-bomber, anti-shipping strike aircraft, day, and night fighter, 'Pathfinder’ marking targets for a main heavy bomber force, and long-range reconnaissance aircraft. There seemed to be nothing it could not be adapted to do with unmatched success. Its most important role was as a deadly long-range, low level precision ground attack fighter-bomber, ideal for 'special duties' operations. The book examines the crucial role of designers and engineers from drawing board to production and company support. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines it could carry the same bombload as four-engine heavy bombers but at much greater speeds and at altitudes from low-level to ultra-high. It was the combination of this performance with its prodigious range capability that made it a truly strategic weapon in air warfare, striking precision targets in the heart of Nazi-Germany and sapping morale. The text is of full of detailed and dramatic attacks from the aircrew point of view. “It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I run green and yellow with envy.”Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.
Aktualizácia III/1 2026 – Služby zamestnanosti a zamestnávanie
Hlavným cieľom nového zákona o rovnakom odmeňovaní mužov a žien za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty je transponovať do právneho poriadku Slovenskej republiky smernicu Európskeho parlamentu a Rady (EÚ), ktorou sa posilňuje uplatňovanie zásady rovnakej odmeny pre mužov a ženy za rovnakú prácu alebo prácu rovnakej hodnoty prostredníctvom transparentnosti odmeňovania a mechanizmov presadzovania. Napriek existujúcej právnej úprave zakazujúcej diskrimináciu v oblasti odmeňovania z dôvodu pohlavia pretrvávajú na Slovensku významné rozdiely v odmeňovaní mužov a žien. Z ekonomického hľadiska predstavujú rozdiely v odmeňovaní mužov a žien významnú stratu pre spoločnosť aj jednotlivcov. Neefektívne využívanie ľudských zdrojov a nedocenenie kvalifikovanej pracovnej sily žien vedie k zníženiu celkovej produktivity ekonomiky. Spravodlivé odmeňovanie môže prispieť k zvýšeniu motivácie zamestnancov, zníženiu fluktuácie a celkovému ekonomickému rastu. Súčasná právna úprava v oblasti rovnakého zaobchádzania, ktorá je obsiahnutá predovšetkým v antidiskriminačnom zákone a Zákonníku práce, síce zakazuje diskrimináciu v odmeňovaní z dôvodu pohlavia, avšak neobsahuje dostatočné nástroje na efektívne presadzovanie tohto práva v praxi. Zamestnanci a zamestnankyne často nemajú prístup k informáciám o úrovniach odmien kolegov vykonávajúcich rovnakú prácu alebo prácu rovnakej hodnoty, čo im znemožňuje identifikovať diskriminačné praktiky a efektívne uplatňovať svoje práva. Cieľom zákona je zaviesť systém transparentnosti odmeňovania, ktorý umožní efektívne monitorovanie a posudzovanie rozdielov v odmeňovaní medzi mužmi a ženami a ktorý zabezpečí, aby zamestnávatelia zaviedli štruktúry odmeňovania založené na objektívnych kritériách. Tieto kritériá musia zahŕňať zložitosť, zodpovednosť, namáhavosť, pracovné podmienky a ďalšie faktory, ktoré sú relevantné pre konkrétne pracovné miesto alebo pracovnú pozíciu, v rámci ktorých sa prihliada na mäkké zručnosti, ktorými sú najmä sociálne a komunikačné schopnosti, pričom tieto kritéria sa nesmú priamo ani nepriamo zakladať na pohlaví

4 Janes
Through time, space, and the transcendence of maternal love, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is reimagined in the parallel lives of one soul searching for meaning, connection, and a place to belong. Jane Eyre is a missionary’s wife. A bookseller in Vietnam. A time traveler. A hero in a modern gothic tale. What if Jane’s story didn’t end with her marriage to Edward Rochester? What if she never married him at al? n one lifetime, Jane travels to India and Burma as Mrs. St. John Rivers. In another, she’s Trang, a young woman selling books in Vietnam, vying for the love of the local priest. Yet another picks up where Brontë left her, now grieving the loss of her child and crossing time and space to find him. And finally, a young Vietnamese-American man searching for himself in Boston, a tutor whose relationship with a veteran feels strangely, achingly familiar…Each thread tells Jane’s story in sweeping, heartbreaking shades of loss, vulnerability, yearning, and the fierce love of mother and child that withstands time and space. While she may long for something more out of a life she didn’t get to choose, she can still decide what to make of it.

Tajuplné príbehy spod Nízkych Tatier
Hole, Alpes, Nižné Tatry... To je len časť pomenovaní pre pohorie, ktoré dnes poznáme ako Nízke Tatry. Ale vôbec nie sú nízke, veď ich najvyšší vrch, legendárny Ďumbier, sa týči do nadmorskej výšky 2 046 m. Tiahnu sa v dĺžke takmer sto kilometrov stredom Slovenska, oddeľujú údolia Váhu a Hrona. Sú súčasťou Karpát a majú všetko, čo k takému poriadnemu karpatskému horstvu patrí.
Divoké, hlboké hory odpradávna vyvolávali strach, obavy či nedôveru ľudí, ktorí sa usadili pod nimi. Na vrchy a do ich ľadovcových kotlov umiestňovali nadprirodzené bytosti. Postupne však začali horstvo osídľovať a využívať čoraz viac. Zažívali pritom množstvo dobrodružstiev. Pretože nemali výdobytky modernej civilizácie, svoje príhody, príbehy, fantazijné predstavy, ku ktorým hory prirodzene podnecovali, si po večeroch rozprávali či spievali, pretavili ich do množstva krásnych, úprimných výtvorov ľudovej slovesnosti.
Odkázali nám obrovské množstvo príbehov, smutných i veselých. Takých, aké ponúkol život v horách aj pod nimi. Nachádzame v nich nielen mnoho krásnych miest z pohoria i podhoria, príhod a udalostí, ale aj ľudí, od anonymných obyvateľov podhorských dedín až po historické postavy, akými boli Juro Jánošík, Jakub Surovec či náš najpopulárnejší kráľ Matej Korvín.
Keďže dosiaľ nevyšla samostatná kniha povestí z Nízkych Tatier, pokúsil som sa z tej hlbokej studnice príbehov, ktoré starostlivo uchovávali a ďalej šírili generácie našich predkov, vybrať aspoň zopár. Azda vás budú inšpirovať k tomu, aby ste navštívili Nízke Tatry, možno podnietia vašu fantáziu a predstavivosť, keď nimi budete putovať a spoznávať miesta, na ktorých sa tie príbehy odohrávali.
The Wallet and Other Thefts
Winner of the BOMB Fiction Prize and White Review Short Story Prize, Kristen Gleason's debut is a collection of precise, surreal, and lightly linked short fiction, concerned with theft, shame, exile, masochism, and God, reminiscent of Anna Kavan, Jane Bowles, and Marie NDiaye. Closely observed and slyly destabilizing, The Wallet and Other Thefts is a book of short fiction shimmering with mystery and menace. This surreal, precise collection unfolds in a world beyond conventional time and space. Concerned with theft, shame, exile, tourism, masochism, God, and "Nature," these stories are lightly linked—objects, diseases, and landscapes reappear. Gleason's elliptical prose refuses traditional narrative logic, resisting easy resolution. Reminiscent of the work of Anna Kavan, Jane Bowles, and Marie NDiaye, The Wallet and Other Thefts is a work of slipstream fiction that pulses with a sense of something generously withheld.
Declaration/Emancipation Illustrated
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.
Hesed, the Seed of the Biblical Story
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.

Images of War: Panzertruppe, Panzer I, 1934–1941
During the 1920s, Germany defied the Treaty of Versailles by rebuilding its military and pioneering new forms of mechanised warfare. This detailed study traces the development of the German tank during this crucial time, from experimental prototypes to Adolf Hitler’s first mass-produced tank, the Panzer I – a tank that would help German forces train for and execute their Blitzkrieg operations. The performance of this small, lightly armed tank was limited, nevertheless it participated in the opening campaigns of the war, including the invasions of Poland, Denmark and Norway, the Low Countries, France and Russia. It provided a valuable training platform for Panzer crews and helped pave for the way for the subsequent heavier and more powerful German models. Covering the design innovations of the various models and variants, as well as their combat history and performance, this is a fascinating look at the Panzer I during pre-war training and later operational service. Part of the Images of War series, combining a treasure trove of rare and unpublished photographs with well-researched text, this is a valuable source for students of the war, modellers and anyone fascinated by military technology, armoured warfare and the evolution of the tank.
