  First-hand accounts from the Russian veterans of World War II who fought in the celebrated tanks that powered the Soviet armored forces.   The Soviet T-34 medium tank was one of the most famous and effective fighting vehicles of the Second World War. Along with the German Tiger and the American Sherman, it was a milestone in tank design that changed the course of the conflict. Much has been written about the technical history of the tank and the vital part it played in the huge tank battles on the Eastern Front, but less has been said about the men who went to war in the T-34 and lived, fought and sometimes died in these remarkable machines. This pioneering book, which is based on extensive interviews with tank crews, records their experiences and offers a compelling inside view of armored warfare in the mid-twentieth century.   “An engaging book, and you will find yourself feeling the discomfort, anxiety, fear, pride and joy of a Soviet Tanker in WWII as you read the T-34 in Action.”—Military Trader   “An excellent read and a good book for tank enthusiasts.”—The Armourer

  I’ve written a lot of books about the paranormal, spiritual, time travel and weird phenomena. 
  My interest is in writing about what is the truth regarding these things which people report and I am not influenced by conventional beliefs. What I look for is the number of stories on a particular subject and are these stories consistent. 
  As an engineer and having studied a lot of physics I know that conventional science has theorized about parallel dimensions but has not any evidence or theories of persons moving between dimensions. 
  In this book my focus is on reviewing reputable stories to see if there is a pattern in what people report to see if interdimensional travel has really happened to them. 
  I’ve studied a lot of strange subjects and more often than not there are basic truths in the things people report. 
  Many of the stories in this book come from the Reddit Sub Reddit on Parallel Dimensions. I’ve selected those stories which seems like the best examples of parallel dimension activities.

  ●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam

  ●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
  ●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
    
  And much more!

  Negro Ironworkers of Louisiana...

  Historian and journalist Marcus Christian reveals how African Americans were the true artists behind New Orleans’ classic iron architecture.   When people think of New Orleans, they envision the complex ironwork of balcony railings in the French Quarter or the delicate lacelike gates of the city’s cemeteries. It is the city’s florid ironwork that gives New Orleans its unmatched, memorable beauty. But few people realize that most of this ironwork was created in the antebellum South—the golden age of Southern culture—by black slaves.  Negro Ironworkers of Louisiana, 1718–1900 examines the history of African American ironworkers in Louisiana. It is the first in-depth study of the sophisticated blacksmith skills for which most Negro ironworkers were not appreciated. Marcus Christian examines the development of agricultural and metallurgical technology in Africa, the slaves who brought those technologies to the United States, and the ironworkers’ roles in the making of New Orleans.

  An estimated 80 million people live with a neurodegenerative disease, with this number expected to double by 2050. Despite decades of research and billions in funding, there are no medications that can slow, much less stop, the progress of these diseases. The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come.With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses. There is no Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, simply people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. An incredibly important story never before told, Brain Fables is a wakeup call to the scientific community and society, explaining why we have no effective disease-modifying treatments, and how we can get back on track.
