Book excerpt: A visually stunning look at innovative and eye-popping measures used to protect ships during World War I. During World War I, British and American ships were painted with bold colors and crazy patterns from bow to stern. Why would anyone put such eye-catching designs on ships? Desperate to protect ships from German torpedo attacks, British lieutenant-commander Norman Wilkinson proposed what became known as dazzle. These stunning patterns and colors were meant to confuse the enemy about a ship's speed and direction. By the end of the war, more than four thousand ships had been painted with these mesmerizing designs. Author Chris Barton and illustrator Victo Ngai vividly bring to life this little-known story of how the unlikely and the improbable became just plain dazzling. "[A] conversational, compelling, and visually arresting story . . ."—starred, Publishers Weekly "Barton's lively text is matched by Ngai's engrossing artwork, which employs dazzle techniques throughout her inventive spreads."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books New York Public Library Best Books for Kids Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year

Download or read book Hitler Was My Friend written by Heinrich Hoffmann and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Here’s Adolf Hitler in a series of bizarre photographs which he kept hidden from the world . . . They have now been published in this memoir.”—Daily Express Heinrich Hoffman was a key part in the making of the Hitler legend, the photographer who carefully crafted the image of the Fuhrer as a godlike figure. Hoffmann published his first book of photographs in 1919, following his work as an official photographer for the German army. In 1920 he joined the Nazi Party, and his association with Hitler began. He became Hitler’s official photographer and traveled with him extensively. He took over two million photographs of Hitler, and they were distributed widely, including on postage stamps, an enterprise that proved very profitable for both men. Hoffmann published several books on Hitler in the 1930s, including The Hitler Nobody Knows (1933). Hoffmann and Hitler were very close, and he acted not only as a personal confidante—his memoirs include rare details of the Fuhrer—but also as a matchmaker; it is Hoffmann who introduced Eva Braun, his studio assistant, to Hitler. At the end of the war, Hoffmann was arrested by the US military, who also seized his photographic archive, and was sentenced to imprisonment for Nazi profiteering. This edition of a classic book includes photographs by Hoffmann and a new introduction by Roger Moorhouse. “An extraordinary new book of photographs of Adolf Hitler includes one that so embarrassed him he banned it from being published. It shows the Führer in his lederhosen, striking an absurdly camp pose as he leans against a tree.”—The Times

This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a childhood characterised by mystical experiences under the most difficult life circumstances, the Master "unrecognised" accompanies His disciple's spiritual search to India, who takes refuge in meditation and retreat, until the brightly radiating, transcendental spiritual revelations of the Heart-Master, as the Divine Person, the Maha Purusha, the promised God-Man, in the Old University of Freiburg im Breisgau. The search ends from one moment to the next and the disciple's life takes an unexpected turn and undergoes a profound transformation. In the eternal relationship between Heart-Master Avatar Adi Da and His devotee, the path of Avatar Adi Da's 7th stage of Perfect Realisation is revealed step by step. After many years of waiting and countless visions, the author finally reaches the longed-for island of Naitauba. All his expectations and ideas about the ashram of a Maha Siddha and the island community are disappointed on all levels. He is confronted with an insider cult of the first generation of devotees. The wisdom teaching of the Heart Master has fallen prey to a revision and a "monarchist" insider cult, behind which the first generation of disciples hides with high priestly words and empty proclamations. Despite this difficult and unexpected circumstance, the disciple receives the Transcendental Spiritual Revelations and teachings of his Heart-Master. The Transcendental Spiritual Reality emerges as the source of all beings and things in the face of the greatest possible failure, confrontation with the fatal insider cult of a spiritual community, exile and banishment.
