Sinopse

The V-2 missile was the precursor to ballistic missiles and was widely used by Germany during the latter stages of World War II, particularly against Great Britain and Belgium.

	The acronym V-2 stands for Vergeltungswaffe 2, (retaliatory weapon 2 in German, an idea of ​​Joseph Goebbels for propaganda purposes).

The missile was designated by its designers as A4 (Aggregat 4): as early as 1927, members of the German Society began the first tests on liquid-fueled rockets.
In 1932, the Reichswehr (German National Defense) became interested in the development of these tests especially for the military sector, and a team led by General Walter Dornberger was very impressed by the test of a launcher designed and built by Wernher von Braun.

	The A-4/V-2 missile was uninterceptable.
	A weapon against which there was no defense.

To date, only a deployment of Patriots or SA-10s could parry an attack, and at enormous cost, against what was an ancestor of the current Scuds, similar in performance and warhead but more precise and half the weight.

    Every year, hundreds of thousands of young people pack their bags to study or volunteer abroad. Well-intentioned and curious Westerners—brought up to believe that international travel broadens our horizons—travel to low-income countries to learn about people and cultures different from their own. While travel abroad can provide much-needed perspective, it can also be deeply unsettling, confusing, and discomforting. Travelers can find themselves unsure about how to think or speak about the differences in race or culture they find, even though these differences might have fueled their desire to travel in the first place. 
     
     
     
    In Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World, storyteller Anu Taranath begins at home, unpacking our baggage about who we are, where we come from, and how much we have. She takes us on a journey through engaging personal travel stories and thought-provoking questions, providing us with tools to grapple with our discomfort and navigate differences with accountability and connection. Yes, travel! But be mindful. Be present.

    A groundbreaking and thorough examination of the trauma caused by the media covering crimes, both to victims and journalists, from a respected journalist and victim advocate
    		 
    In The Trauma Beat, an eye-opening combination of investigative journalism and memoir, former big-city crime reporter Tamara Cherry calls on her award-winning skills as a journalist to examine the impact of the media on trauma survivors and the impact of trauma on members of the media. As Tamara documents the experiences of those who were forced to suffer on the public stage, she is confronted by everything she got wrong on the crime beat.
    		 
    Covering murders and traffic fatalities to sexual violence and mass violence, Cherry exposes a system set up to fail trauma survivors and journalists. Why do some families endure a swell of unwanted attention after the murder of a loved one, while others suffer from a lack of attention? What is it like to have a microphone shoved in your face seconds after escaping the latest mass shooting? What is the lasting impact on the reporter holding that microphone? The Trauma Beat explores these issues with the raw, reflective detail of a journalist moving from ignorance to understanding and shame to healing.

    Shock to the System: The Inside...

    Shock to the System is the definitive account of the rise of Reform and what came next. 
    Nigel Farage’s story was meant to end on 23 June 2016, when Britain voted to leave the European Union. But his in-and-out journey over the following decade helped finish Theresa May, Rishi Sunak – and potentially the Tory party itself. Now Farage is the bookmakers’ favourite to become next Prime Minister. 
    With unrivalled access and insight, award-winning political journalist James Heale tells the tale of a band of comrades and cronies who want to put Farage in Downing Street by 2029. Eye-opening, revelatory and brilliantly told, Shock to the System will explain Reform’s extraordinary growth and constant near self-implosion and assess their prospects as we approach what could be the most significant elections for a generation. Crucially it will ask who is Nigel Farage and his Reform Party? What might a Farage cabinet look like? And can he really fix Britain? 
    This is the definitive story of Reform UK’s rise and where it goes next.
