Summary

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Battle of Verdun  to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

The Battle of Verdun was planned by German General Erich von Falkenhayn, who wanted to weaken the French army by causing heavy casualties. He believed that the British army, combined with the French army, could severely impact the outcome of the war. The other allies of the British were the Italian and the Russian armies. By then Russia had already been immobilized, and Italy was unlikely to cause any serious threat to the Central powers. That left out France and eliminating the French army would create an advantage for the Germans. Through the battle at Verdun, Falkenhayn wanted to “bleed France white.” 

The Battle of Verdun became a symbol of the horrors of trench warfare and the destructiveness of war. It brought the armies of both sides to the brink of collapse. Several French villages were completely destroyed and remain uninhabitable to this date.

    Have you ever felt trapped in a relationship that drained you of your energy, your confidence, your joy of living? 
	This book is much more than a simple guide: it's an outstretched hand to all those who have been caught in the maze of psychological manipulation. It illuminates with accuracy and empathy the painful journey of those who have crossed paths with a toxic manipulator, these emotional predators who weave around their victims an invisible yet devastating web. 
	Through a nine-step journey, this work precisely dismantles the mechanisms of control: how to recognize the vulnerable profiles these manipulators target, what psychological weapons they deploy to subjugate and destroy, and above all, how this insidious hold takes root without our even noticing. 
	But beyond the diagnosis, this book carries hope. It charts a path toward liberation, step by step: breaking the vicious cycle, recovering one's lost identity, learning to live without that paralyzing fear, finally being reborn to oneself. Concrete and practical tools accompany this reconstruction, offering readers tangible keys to reclaim their existence. 
	This book is for anyone seeking to understand, to heal, and to rebuild after living through the hell of a toxic relationship. It speaks to those who still doubt, to those in the midst of turmoil, and to those who have already begun the healing journey. It's a manifesto of resilience, a testament that emotional freedom is possible, and that even the most wounded souls can recover their light. 
	Prepare yourself for a transformative journey toward your own rebirth.

    Brexit is a tale of two unions, not one: the British and the European unions. Their origins are different, but both struggle to maintain unity in diversity and both have to face the challenge of populism and claims of democratic deficit.
Mark Corner suggests that the »four nations« that make up the UK can only survive as part of a single nation-state, if the country looks more sympathetically at the very European structures from which it has chosen to detach itself. This study addresses both academic and lay audiences interested in the current situation of the UK, particularly the strains raised by devolution and Brexit.

    Embark on a karmic odyssey with ”The Pearl on the String,” delving into the cosmic saga of Sekhmet, a member of a galactic pioneer group instrumental in initiating the human race through DNA creation. In ancient Egypt, the alien gods utilized giants and an inherent understanding of frequency as instruments to structure energy into settlements with unparalleled vibrancy. Yet, as Rah`s prophesy of a cataclysmic era looms, Sekhmet`s steadfast belief in humanity`s potential to pull itself out of the darkness becomes her exile sentence, propelling her into a cycle of karmic entanglement. 
Across five incarnations spanning epochs and civilizations, Sekhmet grapples with her karmic wound amidst the rise and fall of empires. From Persia`s alchemical marvels to North America`s collision with fate, her journey echoes through time, guided by her intrinsic soul connection, yet lost within the era of forgetting and separation consciousness. 
As the shadows of World War II engulf the world, Sekhmet`s voice transcends temporal confines, offering guidance in a turbulent era.  
Rooted in the numerological wisdom of change, symbolized by the number 5, the narrative weaves a tapestry of personal destiny and human spirituality, inviting readers to uncover their own voices through the ages. 
Amidst the ebb and flow of history, a revelation emerges—the cyclical flow of energy unveils a profound truth: abundance originates from within. Shedding the chains of savior thinking, a new epoch emerges—one where humanity seeks its own illumination, forging a cosmic path and awakening to its limitless potential within. ”The Pearl on the String” is an enthralling exploration of humanity`s evolution—from the cradle of guided cosmic infancy to the transformative embrace of self-empowerment—inviting readers on a journey of healing, discovery, and cosmic enlightenment.
