The Doolittle Raiders’ Battle for Survival


This is an extraordinary account of courage, survival, and sacrifice in the aftermath of one of the Second World War’s most daring missions. While the Doolittle Raid on Japan is often celebrated for its audacity and strategic importance, this book focuses on the tortuous journey of the Raiders once their mission was complete, as they descended – quite literally – into the unknown. After striking targets in Japan on 18 April 1942, the Raiders, flying their North American B-25 bombers, faced an impossible challenge: reaching safety with dwindling fuel reserves. While one crew landed in the Soviet Union, the remaining fifteen crash-landed or baled out over Japanese-occupied China, initiating a desperate struggle for survival. Spread across rugged terrain, the Raiders battled severe weather, injuries, starvation, and the constant threat of capture or death at the hand of the Japanese forces. This book delves deeply into the human stories of the Doolittle Raiders during their escape through hostile territory. It highlights the critical role played by Chinese villagers and resistance fighters who risked – and often lost – their lives to protect the stranded Americans. Through their heroic efforts, many Raiders made it to safety, but not without significant losses. The Japanese retaliated mercilessly against the Chinese in one of the largest manhunts the Japanese ever mounted, killing tens of thousands in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign, underscoring the devastating costs of the mission. With its rich blend of action, human drama, and historical depth, and drawing on declassified military records, personal diaries, and interviews with descendants of the Raiders and their Chinese allies, The Doolittle Raiders’ Battle of Survival vividly reconstructs the Raiders’ perilous journey to safety – or not. From parachute landings into dense forests and dangerous mountain crossings to encounters with guerrilla fighters and near-capture by Japanese troops, the narrative is both suspenseful and deeply moving.

English Language Teaching in a Neurodiverse World


As teachers, our intrinsic motivation is to supportour students in their learning. Because every student’s learning journey isunique, ELT professionals tend already to be experts at adapting materials,grading our language and planning out individualised learning targets. But evenfor the most experienced English language teacher, understanding how toanticipate and meet the needs of neurodivergent learners can feel a stretch toofar, even if you are already informally incorporating a number of inclusive practices. In this book, Dr Gemma Williams provides aresearch-informed and neurodiversity-affirming perspective, that respects andvalues neurodivergence as simply a different way of processing the world,rather than a collection of pathologised ‘deficits’. From this, she provides clearpathways from theory to practical adjustments and real-world classroomapplications. Section One starts at the beginning, to explore whatneurodiversity really means. Section Two brings the focus to the classroom toexplore meaningful inclusion. Section Three thinks about our neurodivergentlearners as unique individuals with different needs. Finally, Section Fourmoves towards the practicalities of teaching for neurodiversity; not justteaching neurodivergent students but also helping them ready themselves for navigatinga neurodiverse world. By reading this book, our hope is that you finish itnot only equipped with a greater understanding of the generalities of aneurodiverse world, but also the encouragement and confidence to supportneurodivergent learners. Supporting neurodivergent students doesn’t meanreinventing your practice: just thinking about it in (potentially) new ways. Many of you will already be doing lots of things that support yourneurodivergent learners. All that’s needed is a little additional underlyingtheory and some structure…

Polish Military Aircraft 1918-1939


Despite not existing as a free country for 123 years until the end of the First World War, the roots of Polish aviation, including military aviation, reach as far back as the days of pioneers such as Otto Lilienthal or the Wright Brothers. The Polish Military Aviation can trace its origins to the second half of 1917, and was officially established when Poland regained her independence on 11 November 1918. The country was then able to build its own air force with men being proud to call themselves Poles again. Despite its difficult rebirth, in the 1930s Poland developed a wide range of its own aircraft. These included the PZL P.6 fighter which gained fame for being the most advanced of its day and the first fighter aircraft made of metal in the world, or PZL P.24 fighter considered by the RAF as a purchase option. Towards the end of the decade, however, foreign aircraft design had overtaken them. In 1939, Poland fought its lonely war against overwhelming might of the German Third Reich, the fascist state of Slovakia and the Soviet Russia. Though surrounded, massively outnumbered and flying mostly inferior aircraft, Polish fliers caused the attacking forces considerable losses, including 500 aircraft, destroyed and damaged. As well as telling the story of the valiant Polish flyers, Polish Military Aircraft 1918-1939 includes a wonderful collection of photographs, the majority of which have never been seen in the West. Together, these take the reader on a journey throughout the early years of Polish military aviation, showing amazing pictures of German, Austro-Hungarian or Russian aeroplanes, in many cases scavenged by the Poles. Also included is selection of British aircraft which were used in Poland, as well as a host of photographs of Polish-designed and built machines, including these that had to face Luftwaffe in September of 1939.

Dane účtovníctvo odvody 7 2026 - DPH v zákone o dani z príjmov, Spôsob zápočtu minimálnej dane


Daň z pridanej hodnoty predstavuje základný typ univerzálnej nepriamej dane a jeden z hlavných príjmov štátneho rozpočtu. Všeobecným dôvodom implementácie DPH je príjem štátneho rozpočtu tej krajiny, na území ktorej je vykonávaná ekonomická aktivita. Samotný systém DPH je založený na skutočnosti, že túto daň pre konkrétny produkt konečný spotrebiteľ zaplatí v jeho cene, avšak daň štátu v konečnom dôsledku odvedú účastníci distribučného kanála prostredníctvom ustanoveného systému platieb. V rámci zákona o dani z príjmov je problematika DPH riešená vo viacerých ustanoveniach a má dopad na také skutočnosti ako vylúčenie DPH zo základu dane z príjmov, podmienky uplatnenia DPH ako daňového nákladu, posudzovanie DPH ako súčasti obstarávacej ceny majetku. Titul obsahuje príspevky k zmenám v právnych predpisoch z oblastí daní, účtovania a zdaňovania miezd a odvodov.

Povinnosť platenia minimálnej dane sa vzťahuje na daňovníka, ktorého daňová povinnosť je nižšia ako výška zákonom stanovenej minimálnej dane, pričom jej výška sa odvíja od výšky zdaniteľných príjmov dosiahnutých daňovníkom v príslušnom zdaňovacom období. Daňovník, ktorý zaplatil minimálnu daň, má možnosť zápočtu kladného rozdielu medzi minimálnou daňou a skutočnou daňovou povinnosťou vypočítanou v daňovom priznaní na daňovú povinnosť vyčíslenú pred uplatnením preddavkov na daň. Zápočet minimálnej dane alebo kladného rozdielu medzi minimálnou daňou a skutočnou daňovou povinnosťou je možný v 3 bezprostredne po sebe nasledujúcich zdaňovacích obdobiach nasledujúcich po zdaňovacom období, za ktoré bola minimálna daň zaplatená, a to len tú časť, ktorá prevyšuje sumu minimálnej dane.

1918 – The Americans Under French Command


Pershing’s aim had always been to fight the Germans with an independent American Army (the AEF, the American Expeditionary Forces) instead of dividing his divisions between the allies. When the Germans launched the first attack of their Spring Offensives on 21 March 1918, he was still far away from the creation of this independent army. During the first three months of 1918 only a few divisions could be considered as available for immediate action. On 26 March 1918 Foch was selected as the Supreme Allied Commander. Two days later, to solve immediate allied manpower problems and to check the German assault, General Pershing temporarily placed all American forces at the disposal of Supremo Foch. It was agreed that the availability of American troops would only last so long as was needed to check the German advance.This book deals with three lesser known battles fought by five divisions of the AEF that took place in the Champagne/Marne Region between the City of Reims and the Argonne Forest. The narrative includes actions of the 2nd, 36th, 42nd, 92nd and the 93rd Divisions. The latter two were made up of African-American troops.The five tours are ideal for visitors who have a few hours to spare coming from or going to the St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne and Verdun battlefields from one of Paris’s airports. They cover a lesser known area and each tour will not take more than a few hours. The starting points are all situated a little north of the A4, the Paris-Metz motorway. The tours also bridge the gap between the better known Chemin des Dames and Meuse-Argonne battlefields.

200 Years of Railway Station Development


The railway station first appeared in Britain when the new railway companies began to carry passengers as well as the freight for which they had originally been built. From humble beginnings behind the bar in the local pub, to state of the art travel hubs, Britain’s railway stations have become a key part of society, even impacting how time is measured. As Britain’s railway network grew, so did it’s stations. Competing companies arrived in the same town and built magnificent structures to attract passengers to their lines over those of their competitors. Architectural styles were as varied as the companies who commissioned them, although all were built to provide a feeling of permanence and dynamism to the local communities they served. In this new introduction to the history of Britain’s railway stations, industrial and railway historian Dr Richard Marks examines why railway stations were built where and how they were. The impact of railway politics, rail heading and competition is clearly explained, to provide a new perspective on the railway station. Perhaps more than just a travel hub, the railway station was also place of sorrowful separations, and joyful reunions, new opportunity or departure to war something which is examined throughout the new book. The evolution of railway stations, be they magnificent city centre statements or humble branch line or light railway facilities, is a fascinating and complex subject to which this new volume aims to provide a readable introduction.

Addiction


Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Addiction is a subject which straddles public and personal interests; societal and criminal justice concerns; and family, social, and medical responses. It is a continuing area of uncertainty and concern for society and professionals trained in the field.This Very Short Introduction presents the basic facts about addiction: what it is, how and why it develops, how it is treated, and how society can respond to it. Addictions to both illicit drugs and licit drugs (e.g., alcohol) are covered, as is the possibility that certain behaviours not involving drug use (e.g., compulsive gambling) can qualify as addictions. Keith Humphreys provides a jargon-free account of our present understanding of addiction, from treatment evaluations to studies on the effects of public policies. He also illuminates the personal experience of addiction and recovery. Humphreys considers why some people become addicted and others do not, what treatments exist to help people who are addicted, and how the laws and regulations society establishes about drugs affects the rate and experience of addiction.

Monograph on German Light Armoured Cars Kfz. 13/14


The Kfz. 13/14 represented a significant step forward for the German army in the realm of armoured scout cars following the devastation of First World War. Initially intended for training purposes, despite their limitations, including inadequate armament, armour, and off-road capabilities, they played a pivotal role in shaping the tactics and strategies of German armoured warfare doctrine. The early scout cars also provided essential training opportunities for crews, helping to develop the skills necessary for operating more advanced armoured vehicles in future conflicts, as well as provided valuable insights into the design of armoured fighting vehicles to the German industry. Despite their contributions to the early development of armoured warfare tactics, Kfz. 13/14 vehicles were already outdated by the outbreak of Second World War and gradually phased out in favour of more modern and capable designs. Nonetheless, their legacy as pioneering platforms in the evolution of armoured reconnaissance vehicles remained significant within the annals of military history. The aim of this book is to tell the lesser-known history of vehicles commonly referred to as "Bathtubs", which despite their unassuming appearance, shaped the generations of German soldiers serving in motorized reconnaissance formations, who after 1939 found themselves at the forefront of armoured formations spreading terror throughout Poland, Low Countries and France.
