  The Second World War changed the course of modern history. It is filled with incredible stories of daring risks and exceptional struggles, but these stories are more often than not the stories of men. 
  There is, however, a hidden treasure trove of untold stories of heroic women who have risked their lives in the monumental battle against fascism. 
  We’ve heard of women who became nurses treating soldiers with battlefield injuries, partisans who fought occupying armies, and skilled laborers who worked in wartime industries. 
  But in the shadows, as part of a secret war against the Nazis, women served as intelligence agents who risked their lives to collect and relay information vital to the war effort. Danger lurked at every turn. 
  These courageous women spies worked in secret, but their stories, which are finally coming to light today, offer a significant and unique perspective on the history of World War II. 
  You'll learn the thrilling stories of five high-society ladies (Virginia Hall, Christine Granville, Noor Inayat Khan, Nancy Wake and Aline Griffith) who went behind enemy lines to aid the war effort, what motivated them to take such risks, and how these women heroes of WWII helped shape the course and outcome of the most significant war in modern history. 
  You’ll gain insights into why some high-society ladies chose to give up a life of comfort to fight against global tyranny and live under constant threat of exposure and imprisonment or death. 
  If you’re looking for a unique and enlightening view of the Second World War and are interested in women’s historically overshadowed roles in international espionage, then look no further than Princess, Countess, Socialite, Spy.

  Technology guru Ray Wang shows how organizations can surf the waves of change—how they can keep their promises. Current trends, when taken seriously, require a new way of thinking about business that includes five key areas: 1. Consumerization of technology and the new C-suite; 2. Data's influence in driving decisions; 3. Digital marketing transformation; 4. The future of work; and 5. Matrix commerce. 
   
   
   
  Digital disruption has changed how we do our work. But by mastering these trends you'll delight your customers with every interaction.

  Written by Kristian Still,Test-Enhanced Learning: A practical guide to improving academic outcomes for all studentsis an informative guidebook that explores the wealth of evidence behind and the benefits of test-enhanced learning, spaced retrieval practice and personalisation.
  Detailing the most up to date research into improving learning and retention, it takes us on a journey into test-enhanced learning, spaced retrieval practice, motivation, metacognition and personalisation. In so doing, the book provides a blueprint for all teachers and schools to improve the academic outcomes of their students and to achieve this in ways that improve the motivation of learners and reduces the workload for teachers.
  Kristian Still has been developing these ideas with his classes for many years and has achieved considerable success in terms of thedirect learning gains, and improved assessment grades of his pupils and the indirect gains instudentsgrowing confidence in lessons, with a wider group of pupils contributing to class and improved classroom behaviour. Consequently, students are finding greater comfort in class and experiencing less pressure or underpreparedness when a question is asked.
  The book is supported by the freeRemembermoreapp which uses digital flashcards as an aid to deliver the learning gains of personalised, spaced retrieval practice, providing teachers with insights into the effectiveness of their own teaching. It also contains a number of practical case studies from teachers using these techniques and the app to produce great results in their schools.
  Spaced retrieval practice is a highly effective but counter intuitive revision technique in that it involves forgetting and relearning knowledge.Test-Enhanced Learningprovides a blueprint for motivating students to adopt this technique in favour of seemingly easier but less effective techniques such as re-reading. Moreover, theRemembermoreapp does most of the convincing for you. It is a tool, not only to provide the flashcards for retrieval practice, but also to demonstrate the power of the technique to pupils.
  The book goes a step beyond mere retrieval practice, offering a fresh approach to test-enhanced learning, both pretesting and post testing, supported by real, classroom-based routines that have been tried and tested by both Primary and Secondary teachers across a range of subjects. Exploring the research behind test-enhanced learning, it reveals that both pretesting and post testing (retrieval practice) offers improved memorisation and secures long-term learning.
  Suitable for all teachers in all settings.

  Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North. The game features three playable protagonists: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, whose stories intertwine as they complete missions, often involving heists. Players navigate the open world of San Andreas, which includes Los Santos, based on Los Angeles, on foot or by vehicle. The game offers both third-person and first-person perspectives. Grand Theft Auto V also has an online multiplayer mode where up to 30 players can engage in cooperative and competitive game modes. The game's development included field research in Southern California and a focus on innovating gameplay mechanics. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Grand Theft Auto V has three playable protagonists, Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Philips, whose stories intertwine throughout the game. Players can switch between these characters at will outside of missions, and sometimes during missions to complete specific objectives. 
    
  The game's open world is set in the fictional state of San Andreas, which includes the city of Los Santos, based on Southern California and Los Angeles. The world is much larger than previous entries in the series and can be fully explored without restriction after the game's beginning. 
    
  Development of the game began around the time of Grand Theft Auto IV's release in 2008, with the team drawing influences from previous projects like Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3. The developers focused on creating a vast open world, conducting field research in California to capture footage for the design.
