Operation Overlord - The...

Sage Winters

Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, stands as one of the most significant military operations in modern history. Known globally as D-Day, it marked the beginning of the end of Nazi occupation in Western Europe and paved the way for the eventual defeat of Adolf Hitler’s regime. The operation was not only a turning point in World War II but also in the broader scope of 20th-century history, reshaping the political, military, and cultural landscape of Europe.
The importance of D-Day lies in its magnitude and complexity. It was the largest amphibious invasion ever attempted, involving over 156,000 Allied troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, supported by thousands of aircraft, ships, and landing vehicles. The scale of the operation reflected the urgency and determination of the Allies to open a second front in Europe, relieving pressure on the Soviet Union in the east and setting the stage for the liberation of France and the rest of Western Europe.
D-Day's significance can also be seen in the way it exemplified the combined effort of different Allied nations, each contributing their expertise and resources to a unified cause. American forces, under the leadership of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, provided much of the manpower and logistical support. British forces contributed vital naval and air power, while Canadian troops played a crucial role in the assault on Juno Beach. This collaboration was a testament to the strength of the Allies’ commitment to defeating the Axis powers, despite the political and cultural differences that existed between them.

Playing Possum - How Animals...

Susana Monsó, Mark Rowlands

When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. 
 
 
 
With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today's leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. 
 
 
 
Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.
