A German perspective of D-Day, written by an Army Corps intelligence officer in Normandy when the Allies invaded, published in English for the first time. A unique perspective on the decisive early weeks of the invasion in 1944, written by a German Army Corps Intelligence officer stationed in Normandy at the time of the Allied invasion, who during the invasion was the department head for enemy messages processing (Ic) in the staff of the LXXXIV AK. It discusses in detail the events leading up to the creation of Falaise Pocket, described by the author as a “tragic turning point of an entire front.” It discusses in detail the conditions in the American landing section and explains how the German troops based there came to be defeated.Praise for Normandy “Should be read by scholars working on the fighting between the Americans and Germans on the western side of the Normandy front.” —Journal of Military History “The interaction among German command is interesting as it scrambles to patch lines. The book covers battles over D-Day beaches, U.S. paratrooper drops, Cherbourg, hedgerows, Operations Cobra and Luttich, and Falaise Pocket formation and collapse.” —Historical Miniatures Gaming Society “[A] unique, informative, and inherently fascinating study . . . absolutely essential and core addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library World War II history collections.” —Midwest Book Review

    Creating a Nation That Is Fair for Us All 
    Cindy Mathers has experienced firsthand the impact of our traumatised, fragmented and broken systems on First Nations people, and indeed us all. She has been mentored by and worked collaboratively with First Nations people for over two decades, learning through respect, deep listening, and truth telling. 
    After repeated experiences of burnout, she began searching for solutions outside of current systems. Through personal and ancestral healing, extensive research, and study, she learned that the disrespect and disregard of human rights of the First Nations people at the time of colonization created wounds that remain in our collective psyche and are passed down through generations. 
    In DELVE-ing into Cultural Humility, Mathers shares a learning pathway forward, based on respect and deep listening. She created the DELVE formula as a collaborative way to implement change in our nation: 
    ●       Deconstruct—how did we get here as a nation? 
    ●       Explore—the impact of abuse of Human Rights on us all 
    ●       Listen—and learn, with deep presence to the stories of First Nations people 
    ●       Viable—what First Nations-led / collaborative initiatives are working? 
    ●       Energise—what works and fund community-led, place-based initiatives 
    In these pages, you will see a snapshot of what is possible when we engage the DELVE formula. By applying this pathway to her real-life projects and experiences, Mathers has created a succinct and practical resource for those who wish to learn Cultural Humility and become part of creating a new nation that respects the Human Rights of all.

    Conflicts have accompanied mankind since time immemorial, and for almost as long people have been trying to limit and deal with them – whether as those affected by them or as professionals with more or less success. For once a system of conflict has developed, once negative expectation structures and with them negative self-evident truths and inherent laws have developed, it becomes increasingly difficult for those involved to escape them: The complexity of our social world, in which it is not easy for communication to find its way, remains unseen. A violated sense of justice, misunderstandings and unfortunate attempts to correct them alternate. One begins to attribute the causes of the conflict to the "person" ("It's you! It's your fault!") and to attribute negative motives to the conflict partner ("You're only doing this because ...!"), who in turn does the same – just like a carousel that slowly gets going. A number of well-studied but little-known psychological processes occur within us when we are in conflict. Outrage at the other person grows, usually unfortunately on both sides. Slowly, the "carousel of outrage and indignation" begins to spin - faster and faster, until...
    The book places the various psychological mechanisms in the context of a systemic understanding of conflict and explains ways to slow down the carousel.

    Emiliano Zapata - His Life Death...

    Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. 
    Zapata was born in the rural town of Anenecuilco in the state of Morelos, at the time of a period when peasant communities dealt with increasing pressure from the small-landowning class, which monopolized land and water resources for sugar-cane production with the support of totalitarian Porfirio Daz (President from the year 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911). 
    Zapata was associated with political efforts against Daz and the landowning hacendados from an early age, and when the Revolution emerged in the year 1910, he was placed as a key figure in the peasant insurgence in Morelos. He established the Freedom Army of the South with the help of certain other peasant leaders, and he rapidly rose to become its undisputed head. 
    Let’s learn more about this historical figure through this book.
