  Bloody Verrières - The I...

  South of the Norman city of Caen, Verrières Ridge was seen a key stepping-stone for the British Second Army if it was to break out of the Normandy bridgehead in late July 1944. Imposing in height and containing perfect terrain for armored operations, the Germans viewed it as the lynchpin to their defenses south of the city of Caen and east of the Orne river. 
   
   
   
  Following the failure of British Operation Goodwood on 18–20 July and the containment of the Canadian Operation Atlantic, further Allied attacks to seize the ridge would have to defeat arguably the strongest German armored formation in Normandy: The I. SS-Panzerkorps 'Leibstandarte.' The fighting of 23 July–3 August is chronicled in detail, specifically the premier Anglo-Canadian operation to capture Verrières Ridge, Operation Spring on 25 July. Designed as an attack to seize the ridge and exploit south with armor, this battle saw the 2nd Canadian Corps attack savaged again by German armored reserves brought in specifically to defeat another Goodwood. 
   
   
   
  Not satisfied with this defensive victory, German armored forces would then seek to restore an earlier defensive line further north, attacking to destroy the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. Largely unknown, these were some of the strongest and most successful German armored operations to take place in the Normandy campaign.

  A Manual of Buddhism 
  By Dudley Wright

  Mesoamerican Capitals - Cities...

  From the mist-shrouded valleys of central Mexico to the glimmering highlands of Colombia, the ancient Americas witnessed the rise of extraordinary urban centers that would shape the destiny of countless generations. In "Mesoamerican Capitals: Cities of Stone and Gold," we embark on a journey through time to explore four of the most influential civilizations that rose to prominence long before European contact transformed the Western Hemisphere. 
  These weren't merely settlements but complex metropolitan hubs—centers of innovation, artistry, and power that rivaled their Old World contemporparts in sophistication and grandeur. Teotihuacan, with its monumental Avenue of the Dead and towering pyramids, once housed over 125,000 inhabitants in a masterfully planned cityscape that influenced cultures throughout Mesoamerica. The Toltec capital of Tula stood as a beacon of military might and cultural refinement, establishing patterns of rulership and religious practice that would echo for centuries. Monte Albán, crown jewel of the Zapotec civilization, commanded the valleys of Oaxaca from its mountain perch, while the Muisca Confederation created a network of urban centers across the Colombian highlands, their wealth in gold becoming the stuff of legend. 
  These weren't simply places where people gathered—they were the physical manifestations of worldviews, cosmologies encoded in stone and adobe. Each represented distinct approaches to urban planning, governance, and the relationship between the sacred and the profane. Their rulers wielded power through combinations of divine authority, military prowess, and control of vital trade routes that connected distant regions through complex networks of exchange. 
  As you turn listen to this book, you'll discover how these remarkable urban centers functioned as crucibles of innovation, where art, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, and religious thought flourished in distinctive ways.
