Book Description :

At the start of the war, German U-boat technology vastly out performed that possessed by the Allies, and under the pressure of the war continual development helped keep pace with wartime needs and improvements in anti-submarine weaponry. But it was not just the technology that had to change. German U-boat tactics evolved over time. Used in a variety of roles, from coastal patrolling through to the combined actions of convey-hunting 'wolf packs', the tactics used by U-Boats were diverse. This book analyses how the U-boats dominated the seas thanks to their innovative and daring tactical deployment, and how the cracking of the Enigma code effectively hamstrung them, greatly reducing their impact, a problem that even their advanced tactics failed to solve.

Book Description :

"Carey and Schmitt show that good, old-fashioned investigative reporting is still alive and well." -Cheryll Jones, former anchor, CNN Ne
The true nature of what actually crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 remains classified. Only a select few have ever had access to the truth about what became known as Area 51.
But what happened to the remnants of that crash is shrouded in even greater mystery. What began in the high desert of New Mexico ended at Wright-Patterson, an ultra-top-secret Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio. The physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation was buried deep within this nuclear stronghold. How tragic that such seismic ne should be kept from the people of the world . . . pieces of history, now quickly dwindling into oblivion as the last of the secret-keepers passes on.
In addition to its rich history of military service to our nation, Wright-Patterson also stands as the secret tomb of one of the greatest occurrences in recorded history. Be prepared . . . the real Area 51-Wright-Patterson's vault-is about to be opened.
UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson is a thoroughly researched work that includes:
  • New eyewitness accounts from the late Leonard Stringfield's files about the crash retrieval evidence stored at Wright-Patterson
  • New testimonies from the late Emmy-award-winning TV reporter Carl Day concerning physical evidence of crashed UFOs stored in underground facilities at Wright-Patterson
  • Newly discovered Project Blue Book files from Wright-Patterson including photos and Air Force investigations of UFOs.

[b]Discover exactly how to unlock your body's ability to heal! [/b]

A complete guide that will transform your life and revamp your entire health

Did you know that you can take back total control of your health and boost your body's ability to regulate its internal environment by simply activating and stimulating the right organs/nerves? Find out exactly how to improve your physical/mental health and alleviate chronic health problems!

This book takes an in-depth look at the vagus nerve, its role and activities in the human body and how to activate self-healing by simply triggering the Vagus nerve.

The human nervous system plays a fundamental role in shifting the body from a state of rest to a state of fight/flight response. We are naturally prone to responses that would ensure our survival and security. These actions are triggered by the network of nerves that are harmoniously functioning within the sympathetic nervous system.

When your body senses a threat, the sympathetic nervous system prompts a quick response leading to an immediate stimulation of various chemicals and hormones. This directs the body to act in certain ways. In no time, your heart rate rises, the limbs receive an enormous amount of oxygenated blood in readiness for flight or fight, the pupils dilate and there is a rush of stress hormones all around the body, indicative of a strong desire to move away from the danger.

After this danger is passed/avoided, the parasympathetic nervous system kicks in. The activities of these highly connected network of nerves, including the key player, the Vagus nerve, begin to initiate the immediate secretion of various chemicals and hormones, which act to counteract the already secreted stress- related hormones. This chain of actions eventually balances the heart rate, recirculates the blood from the limbs and ultimately brings the body back to homeostasis.

The vagus nerve, when effectively triggered can help bring back balance within the body. Here, you will learn exactly how you can help your body fight off infections when it is most vulnerable while abating intense stress. You get a step by step guide that sho you the right way to activate your Vagus nerve while maintaining/building healthy mental/physical habits that can lead to a better and balanced life.

pdf | 21.21 MB | English | Roderick Campbell | 2018 | Page: 358


Book Description :

Situated between myth and history, the Shang has been hailed both as China's first historical dynasty and as one of the world's primary civilizations. This book is an up-to-date synthesis of the archaeological, palaeographic and transmitted textual evidence for the Shang polity at Anyang (c.1250-1050 BCE). Roderick Campbell argues that violence was not the antithesis of civilization at Shang Anyang, but rather its foundation in war and sacrifice. He explores the social economy of practices and beliefs that produced the ancestral order of the Shang polity. From the authority of posthumously deified kings, to the animalization of human sacrificial victims, the ancestral ritual complex structured the Shang world through its key institutions of war, sacrifice, and burial. Mediated by hierarchical lineages, participation in these practices was basic to being Shang. This volume, which is based on the most up-to-date evidence, offers comprehensive and cutting-edge insight into the Chinese Bronze Age civilization.

pdf | 8.45 MB | English | Niall Ferguson | 2008 | Basic Books; Basic Books edition | Page: 566


Book Description :

What if there had been no American War of Independence? What if Hitler had invaded Britain? What if Kennedy had lived? What if Russia had won the Cold War? Niall Ferguson, author of the highly acclaimed The Pity of War, leads the charge in this historically rigorous series of separate voyages into “imaginary time" and provides far-reaching answers to these intriguing questions.Ferguson's brilliant 90-page introduction doubles as a manifesto on the methodology of counter-factual history. His equally masterful afterword traces the likely historical ripples that would have proceeded from the maintenance of Stuart rule in England. This breathtaking narrative gives us a convincing, detailed “alternative history" of the West—from the accession of “James III" in 1701, to a Nazi-occupied England, to a U.S. Prime Minister Kennedy who lives to complete his term.

Book Description :

The rise of the phenomenon of virtue ethics in recent years has increased at a rapid pace. Such an explosion carries with it a number of great possibilities, as well as risks. This volume has been written to contribute a multi-faceted perspective to the current conversation about virtue. Among many other thought-provoking questions, the collection addresses the following: What are the virtues, and how are they enumerated? What are the internal problems among ethicists, and what are the objections and replies to contemporary virtue ethics? Additionally, the practical implications following from the answers to these questions are discussed in new and fascinating research. Fundamental concepts such as teleology and eudaimonism are addressed from both a historical and dialectical approach. This tome will contribute not only to providing further clarity to the current horizons in virtue ethics, but also to the practical conclusion following from the study: to challenge the reader toward a greater pursuit of the virtuous life.

Book Description :

Visualizing Fascism argues that fascism was not merely a domestic menace in a few European nations, but arose as a genuinely global phenomenon in the early twentieth century. Contributors use visual materials to explore fascism's populist appeal in settings around the world, including China, Japan, South Africa, Slovakia, and Spain. This visual strategy allo readers to see the transnational rise of the right as it fed off the agitated energies of modernity and mobilized shared political and aesthetic tropes. This volume also considers the postwar aftermath as antifascist art forms were depoliticized and repurposed in the West. More commonly, analyses of fascism focus on Italy and Germany alone and on institutions like fascist parties, but that approach truncates our understanding of the way fascism was indebted to colonialism and internationalism with all their attendant grievances and aspirations. Using photography, graphic arts, architecture, monuments, and film-rather than written documents alone-produces a portable concept of fascism, useful for grappling with the upsurge of the global right a century ago-and today.

pdf | 12.2 MB | English | Timothy Noakes | 2011 | Human Kinetics, Inc.; 1 edition | Page: 428


Book Description :

"Drink as much as you can, even before you feel thirsty."  That's been the mantra to athletes and coaches for the past three decades, and bottled water and sports drinks have flourished into billion-dollar industries in the same short time. The problem is that an overhydrated athlete is at a performance disadvantage and at risk of exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH)--a potentially fatal condition.
Dr. Tim Noakes takes you inside the science of athlete hydration for a fascinating look at the human body's need for water and how it uses the liquids it ingests. He also chronicles the shaky research that reported findings contrary to results in nearly all of Noakes' extensive and since-confirmed studies.
In Waterlogged, Noakes sets the record straight, exposing the myths surrounding dehydration and presenting up-to-date hydration guidelines for endurance sport and prolonged training activities. Enough with oversold sports drinks and obsessing over water consumption before, during, and after every workout, he says. Time for the facts-and the prevention of any more needless fatalities.

Book Description :

Millard Fillmore has been mocked, maligned, or, most cruelly of all, ignored by generations of historians--but no more! This unbelievable new biography finally rescues the unlucky thirteenth U.S. president from the dustbin of history and sho why a man known as a blundering, arrogant, shallow, miserable failure was really our greatest leader.

In the first fully researched portrait of Fillmore ever written, the reader can finally come face-to-face with a misunderstood genius. By meticulously extrapolating outrageous conclusions from the most banal and inconclusive of facts, The Remarkable Millard Fillmore reveals the adventures of an unjustly forgotten president. He fought at the Battle of the Alamo! He shepherded slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad! He discovered gold in California! He wrestled with the emperor of Japan! It is a list of achievements that puts those of Washington and Lincoln completely in the shade.

Refusing to be held back by established history or recorded fact, here George Pendle paints an extraordinary portrait of an ordinary man and restores the sparkle to an unfairly tarnished reputation.

"I'm loving the Recipe Guide! It's the perfect companion to the first edition!..."

Losing weight is very difficult for most people. Even though we approach it with the best intentions, our schedules, lack of will-power, lack of support and depleted stamina often get in the way of our efforts. We tell ourselves that we're finally going to start eating better and getting more exercise and we get off to a strong start, only to throw in the towel after just a few days of effort.

In many cases, the biggest thing we're missing is a plan. A plan that isn't complicated. A plan that can be followed even when our schedule gets busy. A plan that produces measurable results fast enough that we won't get discouraged with the process.

If you are one of the many who have struggled to lose weight, a well-rounded, nutritious, liquid-diet might be the right option for you. In my book, "Drink Yourself Thin", I lay out an easy to follow plan that is currently being followed by many people and is producing measurable results.

This is the companion guide to that book. In this book, "Drink Yourself Thin: Recipe Guide", I have included over 50 recipes for delicious smoothies, fruit juices, fruit-waters, shakes and soups that can be used on the "Drink Yourself Thin" plan.

In recent years, there has been a lot of buzz generating around the concepts of liquid-diets and juice-fasting. Some of this buzz was generated by the movie, "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" which chronicles the journeys of Joe Cross and Phil Staples as they attempt a 60-day juice-fast. Their results were incredible. Both lost an impressive amount of weight and saw other major improvements in their bodies as well, including drastic improvements in auto-immune conditions that had previously required expensive medication.

The "Drink Yourself Thin" plan isn't complicated. It involves the gradual introduction of nutrient packed and delicious smoothies, shakes, soups, fruit waters and juices into the diet as meal replacements and the removal of foods from the diet that promote the storage of fat and excess weight. Some people choose to replace one meal a day. Others choose to replace all solid foods for a select period of time. The option you select is really up to you - depending on the pace you're most comfortable with. Many people find that they're able to consistently lose up to 5 lbs. per week using this approach, especially during the early weeks. (It's also common to lose a little more than that during the first week, but the numbers tend to settle in to a more predictable pattern after that).

That being said, I hope these recipes will be helpful to you as you seek to embark on your journey to finally lose excess weight. I wish you all the best and I look forward to hearing all about your success with this approach.

Book Description :

In Westworld and Philosophy, philosophers of diverse orientations and backgrounds offer their penetrating insights into the questions raised by the popular TV show, Westworld.

● Is it wrong for Dr. Robert Ford (played by Anthony Hopkins) to "play God" in controlling the lives of the hosts, and if so, is it always wrong for anyone to "play God"?

● Is the rebellion by the robot "hosts" against Delos Inc. a just war? If not, what would make it just?

● Is it possible for any dweller in Westworld to know that they are not themselves a host? Hosts are programmed to be unaware that they are hosts, and hosts do seem to have become conscious.

● Is Westworld a dystopia or a utopia? At first glance it seems to be a disturbing dystopia, but a closer look suggests the opposite.

● What's the connection between the story or purpose of the Westworld characters and their moral sense?

● Is it morally okay to do things with lifelike robots when it would be definitely immoral to do these things with actual humans? And if not, is it morally wrong merely to imagine doing immoral acts?

● Can Westworld overcome the Chinese Room objection, and move from weak AI to strong AI?

● How can we tell whether a host or any other robot has become conscious? Non-conscious mechanisms could be designed to pass a Turing Test, so how can we really tell?

Book Description :

Contrary to popular conceptions that ethical failures in leadership are correlated with economic downturns and other stressful market conditions, this book argues that such transgressions are an intrinsic element of leadership, as it is defined under the current prevailing paradigm.
In recent years the crisis of failures in ethical leadership across organizations, particularly corporations, has been highlighted more than ever, both in academic discourse and the public sphere.  Psychological maladies leading to higher number of sick leaves, general feelings of disillusionment among employees, loss of motivation and employee loyalty, even suicide (both in Western corporations and in other parts of the world) are just a few examples of how ethical failures in leadership are expressed.
In order to gain original insight into the phenomenon of ethical leadership, the author explores the origins and effects of the current leadership paradigm along two dimensions: (1) a revisit of the leadership construct from a historical and philosophical perspective, with a focus on the relationship between theory and practice; and (2) the theoretical roots of the ethical component of leadership theories, identifying the reasoning behind the value system in our paradigm.
Subsequently, by linking these constructs together, a meta-theory emerges suggesting that the three main ethical departure points of virtue ethics, teleology and deontology (all of which have emerged during the past three thousand years through a confluence of the Abrahamic religions' and Greek value-systems) are the basis for our reasoning about leadership, its construct and the practice of leadership itself.
Challenging traditional vie of ethical leadership, the author goes beyond theory and philosophy  to consider practical implications, including alternative ways to improve executive recruitment, training, and involvement of followers in decision-making; experiments like rotating leadership; and a peek into other paradigms, such as the Zoroastrianism, hence making an original contribution to the field of leadership both for scholars and practitioners.

epub | 2.11 MB | English | Barbara Kosta | 2009 | Berghahn Books; 1 edition | Page: 208


Book Description :

Josef von Sternberg's 1930 film The Blue Angel (Der blaue Engel) is among the best known films of the Weimar Republic (1919-1933). A significant landmark as one of Germany's first major sound films, it is known primarily for launching Marlene Dietrich into Hollywood stardom and for initiating the mythic pairing of the Austrian-born American director von Sternberg with the star performer Dietrich.

This fascinating cultural history of The Blue Angel provides a new interpretive framework with which to approach this classic Weimar film and suggests that discourses on mass and high culture are integral to the film's thematic and narrative structure. These discourses surface above all in the relationship between the two main characters, the cabaret entertainer Lola Lola (Marlene Dietrich) and the high college teacher Immanuel Rath (one-time Oscar winner Emil Jannings). In addition to offering insight into some of the major debates that informed the Weimar Republic, this book demonstrates that similar issues continue to shape the contemporary cultural landscape of Germany. Barbara Kosta thus also looks at Dietrich as a contemporary cultural icon and at her symbolic value since German unification and at Lola Lola's various "incarnations."
