World War 1 - The History of Causes Deaths Propaganda and Consequences of WW1

Kelly Mass

Sinopsis

The First World War, also known as WW1, was a global conflict that erupted in Europe and lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Often referred to as "the war to end all wars," it involved over 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest and deadliest conflicts in history. The war led to the loss of approximately 8.5 million combatants and 13 million civilians as a direct consequence, and it was followed by genocides and the devastating 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, claiming millions more lives worldwide.

The spark that ignited the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb Yugoslav nationalist and member of the Serbian Black Hand military organization. The subsequent July Crisis saw Austria-Hungary issuing an ultimatum to Serbia on July 23, which eventually led to war between the two countries. The crisis rapidly escalated as it dragged in other European powers due to complex interlocking alliances.

Life Under Nazi Occupation - The...

Paul Roland

When the Nazis invaded, they did not intend to govern fairly. Instead they stripped defeated nations of their treasures, industry and natural resources, with the aim of asserting German supremacy and imposing Hitler's New Order in Europe. 
 
Paul Roland tells the story of daily life under Nazi rule - in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Guernsey and the Channel Islands- to be brought to heel by bribery and brutality, rape and torture, inducement and intimidation as the Germans carried out their vile policies. 
 
We hear of quislings and collaborators who conspired with their captors, the 'enemies of the Reich' including Jewish citizens who were rounded up and exterminated, as well as stories of incredible courage by individuals who struck back against the Führer.

Small Habits Create Big Change -...

Rebecca Branstetter

Small Habits Create Big Change is a collection of micro-habits that educators can use to reclaim their mental health and love for their jobs. This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students. Many educators feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and on the verge of burnout, but it's never too late to turn things around. Psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your scarce downtime. 
 
 
 
Large-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important fact—educators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will fit everyone. People's innate strengths and weaknesses play a big part in determining whether the changes we make are likely to work for us. This book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success. 
 
  
 
This book isn't just about understanding who you are. It's about preventing burnout by aligning your work with your core strengths, values, and habits. All K-12 educators will benefit from this balanced approach to work, fostering self-compassion, mindfulness, and resilience.

Alan Turing - The Famous...

Kelly Mass

Alan Mathison Turing was a mathematician, computer system researcher, scholar, cryptanalyst, thinker, and theoretical biologist from the U.K. With the Turing device, which can be considered a design of a general-purpose computer system, Turing had a substantial influence on the development of theoretical computer technology, offering a formalization of the ideas of algorithm and calculation. Turing is considered the creator of theoretical computer technology and AI.
Turing was born in Maida Vale, London, and raised in the south of England. He earned a mathematics degree from King's College, Cambridge. He released a presentation suggesting that some simple math-- no questions can never ever be replied by computer system while a fellow at Cambridge, built a Turing device, and went on to reason that the Turing device's stopping issue is undecidable.
He got his PhD from Princeton University's Department of Mathematics in 1938. Turing worked for the Federal government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking center where Ultra intelligence was developed, throughout WWII. He led Hut 8, the area in charge of German navy cryptanalysis, for a time. Here, he developed some methods for breaking German ciphers quicker, including but not limited to adjustments to the pre-war Polish bombe gadget, an electromechanical system that could recognize Enigma device settings.
Turing contributed to analyzing obstructed coded signals that permitted the Allies to beat the Axis powers in some crucial fights, including but not limited to the Battle of the Atlantic.
A movie has been made about him, called the “Imitation Game.” Let’s find out the real truth that doesn’t become obvious through this Hollywood production, the background of this conflicted but powerful genius.

Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom

Norman G. Finkelstein

Listeners will be able to draw their own conclusions about whether Gaza has been a victim of decades of political shortcomings or whether its innocence has been distorted by propaganda and malicious political manipulations. In this detailed analysis, Norman G. Finkelstein uncovers the hardships endured by Palestinians, reveals the insincerity of narratives conceived against them, exposes the betrayal of noteworthy individuals and organizations in the face of Gaza's suffering, and discusses the stance of international law regarding their predicament and recourse to armed resistance. 
The audio production of Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom has been created with the intention of making the content more accessible to listeners. While the audiobook presents a detailed and fact-filled analysis, it should be noted that it cannot fully replace the scholarly value present in the written text due to the absence of the extensive footnotes. Scholars who wish to offer critical scrutiny are strongly encouraged to compare the audio content with the original text and its accompanying footnotes by purchasing the print or Kindle version.
