Casa editrice: Casemate

Sinossi

The first English translation of a German account of the attempt to relieve the Nazis’ Sixth Army at Stalingrad during World War II. In late November 1942, Soviet forces surrounded General Friedrich Paulus’ Sixth Army in a pocket at the Russian city of Stalingrad. In response the Germans planned a relief operation, Operation Winter Thunderstorm, intended to break through the Soviet forces and open the pocket, releasing the encircled units. The 6th Panzer Division was the spearhead of the German relief force. The attack started on 12 December 1942 and was aborted on 23 December after heavy Soviet counterattacks. This failure sealed the fate of the German Sixth Army in Stalingrad. This account of the operation was first published in German in 1956, written by the well-respected military historian and retired German officer, Horst Scheibert, who was a tank commander in 6th Panzer Division during the attempt. Utilizing many excerpts from war diaries, and telegrams sent during operations, it is a unique account of the entire operation from the situation in mid-November through the two German offensives, the Soviet counteroffensive, and ongoing fighting until early January. This book includes 16 maps from the original edition and is the first English translation of this important German account.Praise for On to Stalingrad “Rich and detailed like very few of its kind are, with a crisp writing style and critical eye for the events of the battlefield that almost makes you feel as if you were there with Sixth Panzer. On to Stalingrad is a book so compelling that it simply should not be overlooked for your personal and professional enjoyment.” —ARMOR Magazine “Offers a unique viewpoint from an actual veteran who is able to provide an immediate military analysis of this mostly forgotten operation of the Stalingrad campaign.” —New York Journal of Books

The Soul in the Stone - Why the...

Ashley Curtis

The currently unfolding ecological catastrophe is the result of more than just deforestation, fossil fuel extraction, and factory farming. Behind the immediate causes of the degradation of our environment lies something else: a deeply rooted but ultimately absurd understanding of our place in the universe. 

Through a series of encounters with a striking array of protagonists - from revolutionary physicists and embattled philosophers to subsistence hunters and Himalayan shamans - The Soul in the Stone exposes the incoherence of the barren, human-centered perspective dominant in most societies today. It recommends instead an alternative worldview: one that acknowledges and honors non-human experience and, precisely because it does, is both more logically consistent and more fulfilling. And might just save the planet.

Reclaim - understanding complex...

Dr. Ahona Guha

The relationship between trauma and mental health is becoming better recognized, but survivors and professionals alike remain confused about how best to understand and treat it. In Reclaim, through a series of case studies and expert analysis, Dr. Ahona Guha explores complex traumas, how survivors can recover and heal, and the nature of those who abuse. She shines a light on the "difficult" trauma victims that society often ignores, and tackles vital questions such as, "Why are psychological abuse and coercive control so difficult to spot?" and "Why do some people harm others, and how do we protect ourselves from them?" 
 
 
 
As a clinical and forensic psychologist, Dr. Guha has had extensive experience in working with those who perpetrate harm—including stalkers, sex offenders, violent offenders, and those who threaten, bully, and harass—and she has a deep understanding of the psychological and social factors that cause people to abuse others. In turn, her clinical work in the trauma treatment field has led her to recognize the enormous impacts of complex trauma, and the failures of systems when working with those who have been victimized. 
 
 
 
By emphasizing compassion above all, Dr. Guha calls for us to become better informed about perpetrators and the needs of victims, so we might reclaim a safer, healthier society for everyone.

MANIFESTATION (How Thoughts...

EQuin Cadmon

MANIFESTATION (How Thoughts Become Things!) is unlike any other book by the same name. Right from the jump, EQuin Cadmon peels back the veil of the elite's endless attempts to cover up our true past through resets every 100 years here on Earth. He quickly uncovers the truth behind the Tartarian Empire that reigned here for 1,000s of years and their free energy and unlimited abundance for all. He also goes on to prove to every reader that wanders this way exactly what Earth is; that it's not a globe after all flying through space at 627,000,000 mph in lock step with a burning ball of gas and 8 other planets; but flat and stationary. No other book every written walks you through and reveals our true intentionally buried past as it matters and relates to our power to MANIFEST. EQuin Cadmon ties it all together to bring the reader to the powered restored place to remember and activate their full mind potential to create anything they desire right out of thin air…or Aether. You never fully understood why it mattered that the powered elite have intentionally hidden our true past from us until now. What you'll discover by book’s end is that they needed us dumbed down to control us. They needed us divided in every way so that we wouldn't collectively increase our resonance and power to create heaven right here on Earth. No more! Do yourself a favor and open these pages and read and reread and share everywhere with everyone you love. This book is one for the ages!
