Sinopse

No military organisation has fought as well against such overwhelming odds as the Waffen-SS, but few have earned such an infamous reputation in the process. Hitler’s elite proved itself in some of the most savage actions of World War II: the battle of Kharkov, the defence of the Demyansk Pocket and the Normandy landings. Certain units, however, also perpetrated atrocities against innocent civilians, while others were closely associated with the concentration camps. Personal Accounts of the Waffen-SS at War is the story of the men who wore the SS runes – told in their own words. Speaking candidly about their wartime service, former Waffen-SS soldiers of all ranks and nationalities talk about their training, indoctrination, combat on the Eastern Front, their commanders and political masters and the issue of atrocities. Illustrated with 150 rare black-and-white photographs, not only does Personal Accounts of the Waffen-SS at War address one of the most fascinating organisations within the Third Reich, but unlike much history it offers personal accounts from inside the Waffen-SS. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of World War II and the Third Reich.

    Balancing Life and Caregiving with Love, Loss, and Resilience in a Moving Memoir 
    In the blink of an eye, Jonathan Knaul’s world shifted from high-stakes military test flights to the intricate dance of caring for his aging mother with dementia. 
    Faced with navigating his mother’s health decline while honoring her fierce independence, Jonathan found himself unprepared for the emotional and practical challenges ahead. As a decorated military test pilot, he was accustomed to split-second decisions, but caregiving demanded a different kind of courage and skill set. 
    Final Approach is more than a caregiving memoir—it’s a holistic guide taking readers from World War II history to end-of-life care to posthumous administration. Revealing intimate family stories from escaping Holocaust concentration camps to finding refuge in Canada, Jonathan expertly intertwines three generations’ hard-won lessons with career crossroads he faced to become a caregiver for his mother. Told through vivid storytelling with a keen eye on the realities of caregiving for loved ones, Final Approach arms readers with the knowledge and strategies you need to provide compassionate, effective care for your loved ones. 
    When you’re thrust into the role of a caregiver, balancing your own life with the needs of an ailing loved one can feel overwhelmingly impossible. Final Approach is an essential read for anyone facing the responsibility of caring for aging loved ones. This heartfelt and candid read will guide you through the turbulent skies of caregiving with compassion, rich stories, and practical advice. Read Final Approach and find the support and solutions you need to care for your loved ones.

    Here, for the first time, is a layperson's explanation of polyvagal theory, an approach to mental health and well-being that has taken the clinical world by storm. A polyvagal approach to life is based on the knowledge that the autonomic nervous system is shaped by early experience and reshaped with ongoing experience. This short book will offer an overview for nonspecialists and provide a series of exercises and meditations (practices) that will allow listeners to tune into their nervous systems, providing calming prompts to build and strengthen ventral vagal connections. 
     
     
     
    This book includes a comprehensive chapter on polyvagal theory, preceded by exercises that focus on mapping, reflecting, listening, deepening, creating, and connecting. Listeners who want to change a pattern and find new rhythm for their nervous systems can use this material to work toward those goals.

    Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
     
    A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.
