Kľúčové momenty, bitky a rozhodnutia dôkladne ilustrujú mapy, grafické znázornenia, dokumenty, dobové artefakty a stovky fotografií. Vďaka tomu kniha posúva vnímanie najničivejšieho konfliktu v histórii na úplne novú úroveň a pomôže skutočne pochopiť, čo sa vlastne stalo vo vojne, ktorá zmenila svet.

Set in the unique landscape of Lightning Ridge, Australia, this adventure story follows Rusty, a 40-year-old opal miner, and Kate, a resilient 60-year-old sheep and cattle rancher. The narrative explores the challenges and rivalries of opal mining, highlighting the tension between miners and "ratters" in the region. It captures the intriguing dynamics of life in the Outback, emphasizing the warmth and friendliness of the local community amidst the harsh environment. The backdrop of Australia's black opal reserves adds depth to their journey.

Die Untersuchung thematisiert die Limitationen des Standardmodells der Teilchenphysik, das zwar eine umfassende mathematische Beschreibung der Materie bietet, jedoch zahlreiche unbeantwortete Fragen aufwirft. Dazu gehören die Anzahl der Teilchengenerationen, die Massenanordnung innerhalb von Quark- und Leptonfamilien sowie das Verhalten von Elektronen und Quarks. Auch die dunkle Materie bleibt im Standardmodell unerklärt. Die Arbeit zielt darauf ab, diese offenen Fragen zu analysieren und mögliche Erklärungen zu finden.

The book delves into the limitations of the Standard Model of particle physics, highlighting its inability to explain various phenomena such as the existence of three generations of particles, the mass ordering within quark and lepton families, and the distinct behaviors of electrons and quarks. It also critiques the model's failure to account for dark matter and presents a comprehensive exploration of these unresolved issues, aiming to provide deeper insights and potential solutions to the philosophical and theoretical gaps in current physics.

Listen. Build. Go. You can survive your life's storms! In this book, you will understand and learn from the issues, thoughts, motivations, and dynamics in Noah's life that transformed him from a nobody into the one man that God chose to use for the survival of humanity. Not only that, you will uncover. . . - what you need to be and do to be a person used by God - how to leave a legacy for the saving of your family, friends, city, and nation. Discover how to build an ark with your life that makes a difference for Christ for generations to come! "God wants to set you free from what you believed you are not. Some things that have defined you and limited you, God is saying it is time to move beyond and rise above them and let this be your uprising moment. The future is NOW; God is calling you to build. Do not allow any limitations to hold you back anymore. Realize God has chosen you. If God is for you, what storm can come against you?" -Pastor Richard

Endorsed by the IWM, the book includes rare memorabilia from their archives, as well as painstakingly researched documents from the archives of D-Day museums in Normandy.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING EDDIE REDMAYNE and FELICITY JONES A GUARDIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A NEW STATESMAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A DAILY TELEGRAPH BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A NEW REPUBLIC BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A TIME MAGAZINE TOP 10 NONFICTION From ambitious scientists rising above the clouds to analyse the air to war generals floating across enemy lines, Richard Holmes takes to the air in this heart-lifting history of pioneer balloonists. Falling Upwards asks why they risked their lives, and how their flights revealed the secrets of our planet. The stories range from early ballooning rivals to the long-distance voyages of American entrepreneurs; from the legendary balloon escape from the Prussian siege of Paris to dauntless James Glaisher, who in the 1860s flew seven miles above the earth - without oxygen. Falling Upwards has inspired the Major Motion Picture The Aeronauts - in cinemas SOON. In a glorious fusion of history, art, science and biography, this is a book about what balloons give rise to: the spirit of discovery, and the brilliant humanity of recklessness, vision and hope.

Der Zweite Weltkrieg wird in diesem aufwendig dokumentierten Bildband umfassend dargestellt, anlässlich des 80. Jahrestags des Kriegsausbruchs am 1. September 1939. Mit über 1.200 Fotografien, Illustrationen, präzisen Karten, Zeittafeln, Biografien, Zeitzeugenberichten und historischen Dokumenten wird die Entstehung, die Schauplätze und die Nachkriegszeit detailliert visualisiert. Dieses großformatige Nachschlagewerk bietet eine umfangreiche Dokumentation des Krieges, seiner Vorgeschichte sowie seiner unmittelbaren und langfristigen Folgen. Es berücksichtigt alle Schauplätze von Europa über Nordafrika bis zum Pazifik und skizziert die größten militärischen Operationen zu Lande, zu See und in der Luft. Zudem werden ideologische Hintergründe, Propaganda, das Leben an der Heimatfront sowie der Holocaust und Kriegsverbrechen in Europa und Asien thematisiert. Das Nachschlagewerk besticht durch seinen übersichtlichen Aufbau, praktische Verweise, profunde Karten, Informationen zu bedeutenden Personen, berührende Zeitzeugenberichte und Detailinformationen. Es ist ein wichtiges Werk, das diesen Teil der deutschen Geschichte umfassend und im weltgeschichtlichen Zusammenhang beleuchtet.

The book delves into the limitations of the Standard Model of particle physics, highlighting its inability to explain key phenomena such as the existence of three generations of particles, the mass ordering within quark and lepton families, and the distinct behaviors of electrons, quarks, and neutrinos. It also addresses the model's failure to account for dark matter. By exploring these unresolved issues, the work aims to provide a comprehensive framework that enhances our understanding of the fundamental properties of matter.

Focusing on the Medieval castle of Pontefract, this account details its significant role during the English Civil Wars, including three notable sieges. Described by Oliver Cromwell as a formidable garrison, the castle was ultimately captured by Parliament in 1648, leading to its ruin. The narrative provides a thorough exploration of these military events, offering insights into the castle's strategic importance and the broader context of the Civil Wars. This work, originally published in 1887, fills a crucial gap in military history studies.
