Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berlien is a part of Australasian dreaming, a series based on the exciting concept of myths and legends in the Australasian region, a place where races of Neanderthals are known as burrun and a small race of humans known as gunyas still exist. Magical beasts of the worlds beginning, carrgimin (a type of magical monitor lizard) and magic roam the world. Earth spirits enable the dreaming; a state where magic exists and can change things for good or ill. The Invasion is the first in the series, entering a world of dreaming magic, where a black robed wizard wants to destroy and others defend the lighthouses protecting the dreaming. The great hall of Wilmark is facing a great threat and little can save it or can it? One Yowie (yeti, big foot or many other names) thinks differently. Among it all one burrun is a focus of hatred he doesnt even know about.

Download or read book The War Aims and Strategies of Adolf Hitler written by Oscar Pinkus and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-06-15 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have commented upon Hitler's inexplicable behavior during World War II. He failed to invade England; he neglected his air force; he engaged enemies on multiple fronts. Viewed in terms of Germany's struggle against the West, these and other actions made little sense. In truth, however, the war against Western powers had little to do with Hitler's grand plan: to conquer Russia and lands to the east of Germany, eradicate or enslave their populations, and create a vast Teutonic empire. In light of this goal, Hitler's actions were consistent throughout. In line with his dictum of "All or Nothing," once Hitler failed to defeat Russia in December 1941, he conducted the rest of the war with the sole purpose of inflicting maximum bloodshed and desolation, including upon Germany itself. Weakened, sensing defeat, he knew he was a drowning man--and he was determined to take friend and foe alike down with him. This evaluation of Hitler's objectives in World War II expands upon a theory gaining prominence among historians: Hitler's true motive was a crusade against the East, and he had little interest in waging war with England, much less the United States. It examines the different nature of the war on the Eastern and Western fronts; the disparate treatment afforded the two groups of POWs and civilians; and Hitler's scorched-earth policy, adopted after his primary objective proved beyond his grasp. In poignant, painful detail, it recreates the Russians' devastating four-year struggle against Germany, which went much further towards ensuring its defeat than any of the comparatively belated Western efforts.

Download or read book Protection from the Cold written by Simon Craine and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally conceived to provide a comprehensive survey of the numerous underground nuclear Monitoring Posts in and around South Yorkshire during the period known as the "Cold War" (1946 to 1991). These sites were operated by the voluntary body of men and women of the Royal Observer Corps; whose origins date prior to World War 2 (WW2), and who occupied these Posts to provide a secretive warning and monitoring role in the event of a nuclear attack on the United Kingdom during the "Cold War." As the initial research to this book progressed; other protected sites were identified and were considered to be just as significant to the "Cold War" period and ultimately required inclusion.
Download or read book Agent Garbo written by Stephan Talty and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Good Assassin and Saving Bravo, the real-life spy story of a Spanish farmer-turned-spy who helped defeat the Nazis. Before he remade himself as the master spy known as Garbo, Juan Pujol was nothing more than a Barcelona poultry farmer. But as Garbo, he turned in a masterpiece of deception that changed the course of World War II. Posing as the Nazis’ only reliable spy inside England, he created an imaginary million-man army, invented armadas out of thin air, and brought a vast network of fictional subagents to life. The scheme culminated on June 6, 1944, when Garbo convinced the Germans that the Allied forces approaching Normandy were just a feint—the real invasion would come at Calais. Because of his brilliant trickery, the Allies were able to land with much less opposition and eventually push on to Berlin. As incredible as it sounds, everything in Agent Garbo is true, based on years of archival research and interviews with Pujol’s family. This pulse-pounding thriller set in the shadow world of espionage and deception reveals the shocking reality of spycraft that occurs just below the surface of history. “The book presses ever forward down a path of historical marvels and astonishing facts. The effect is like a master class that’s accessible to anyone, and Agent Garbo often reads as though it were written in a single, perfect draft.” —The Atlantic “Stephan Talty’s unsurpassed research brings forth one of the war’s greatest agents in a must-read book for those who think they know all the great World War II stories.” —Gregory Freeman, author of The Forgotten 500
Download or read book The Lady in the Harbor written by Flemming H. Smitsdorff and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel tells the story of a young Danish Naval lieutenant caught up in the turbulent times of the German occupation of Denmark in World War Two. As their peaceful nation is invaded, Danes at first adjust to the new order but ultimately respond in kind to the brutal treatment at the hands of their hated captors. The Danish lieutenant is an eyewitness to, and sometimes a participant in, the dangerous acts of defiance carried out by ordinary citizens and members of the outnumbered Danish military. When the German occupiers begin the deportation of the Jewish population to death camps, the Danes undertake a truly remarkable strategy in an attempt to save their coutrymen. Almost alone in continental Europe in their resolve to stand against the repugnant Holocaust, the Danes risked it all in the name of human decency and moral courage. A moving love story is entwinced with the gripping action and historical events of this fascinating and fast-paced novel.
Download or read book The Cowkeeper s Wish written by Tracy Kasaboski and published by Douglas & McIntyre. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1840s, a young cowkeeper and his wife arrive in London, England, having walked from coastal Wales with their cattle. They hope to escape poverty, but instead they plunge deeper into it, and the family, ensconced in one of London’s “black holes,” remains mired there for generations. The Cowkeeper’s Wish follows the couple’s descendants in and out of slum housing, bleak workhouses and insane asylums, through tragic deaths, marital strife and war. Nearly a hundred years later, their great-granddaughter finds herself in an altogether different London, in southern Ontario. In The Cowkeeper’s Wish, Kristen den Hartog and Tracy Kasaboski trace their ancestors’ path to Canada, using a single family’s saga to give meaningful context to a fascinating period in history—Victorian and then Edwardian England, the First World War and the Depression. Beginning with little more than enthusiasm, a collection of yellowed photographs and a family tree, the sisters scoured archives and old newspapers, tracked down streets, pubs and factories that no longer exist, and searched out secrets buried in crumbling ledgers, building on the fragments that remained of family tales. While this family story is distinct, it is also typical, and so all the more worth telling. As a working-class chronicle stitched into history, The Cowkeeper’s Wish offers a vibrant, absorbing look at the past that will captivate genealogy enthusiasts and readers of history alike.

Download or read book Noninvasive Methods for the Quantification of Skin Functions written by Peter J. Frosch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 10 years ago, I had the chance to visit the university hospital in Munster, Germany. At the outpatient clinic there, I accidently met a young dermatologist who was devoted to the study of the quantification of irritated skin during his busy daily clinical work. I sensed immediately that this Dr. P. Frosch was conducting his research with the ideals and enthusiasm which were so familiar to me. Soon we found that we shared a similar past experience; we both had begun our careers in dermatological investigation with the same mentor. For me it was more than 25 years ago that I first met Dr. Kligman, Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA. I reminisced that I had been greatly shocked by his initial question ''As a dermatologist, do you want to study living or dead skin?" because, at that time and even today, whenever we cannot collect enough information about the skin with the naked eye, it is invasively removed is common practice to histologically examine a skin sample that from living tissue. Many dermatologists still would never think of studying the living intact skin itself noninvasively with the aid of existing advanced technologies to assess its structural and functional properties. At that time Dr. Kligman intended to build up a system of evaluating the skin from various aspects, using methods that had been unduly neglected in the past and introducing various technological instruments.

Download or read book Kidney Development and Disease written by Rachel K. Miller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidney Development and Disease brings together established and young investigators who are leading authorities in nephrology to describe recent advances in three primary areas of research. The first section describes the use of animal models as powerful tools for the discovery of numerous molecular mechanisms regulating kidney development. The second section focuses on nephric cell renewal and differentiation, which lead to diverse cell fates within the developing kidney, and discusses diseases resulting from the aberrant regulation of the balance between cell fate decisions. The final section concentrates on morphogenesis of the developing kidney and its maintenance after formation as well as the diseases resulting from failures in these processes. Kidney form and function have been extensively studied for centuries, leading to discoveries related to their development and disease. Recent scientific advances in molecular and imaging techniques have broadened our understanding of nephron development and maintenance as well as the diseases related to these processes.
