  Georgy Zhukov: The Life and...

  In the warm predawn darkness of June 22, 1941, 3 million men waited along a front hundreds of miles long, stretching from the Baltic coast of Poland to the Balkans. Ahead of them in the darkness lay the Soviet Union, its border guarded by millions of Red Army troops echeloned deep throughout the huge spaces of Russia. This massive gathering of Wehrmacht soldiers from Adolf Hitler's Third Reich and his allied states – notably Hungary and Romania – stood poised to carry out Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's surprise attack against the country of his putative ally, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.  
  Of the Soviet generals, none played as crucial a role in the war as Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, one of the most highly decorated army officers in Russian military history. At critical stages during the Second World War, it seemed as if it was Zhukov alone who stood between Russian defeat and German victory. Zhukov was ultimately involved in all the major battles on the Eastern Front, including Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kursk, Bagration, and the final assaults into Poland and Germany to capture Berlin.  
  Stalin came to depend on Zhukov’s ruthless military skills for victory, but in the cut-throat Soviet Union, that was always a double-edged sword, because it seemed that Stalin envied Zhukov and feared him as well. Zhukov, who could be as aggressive and blunt as Stalin, was one of the few people prepared to stand up to the Soviet dictator and argue with him, and as many Soviet politicians and generals learned to their detriment, going toe to toe with one of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century was a highly risky venture. However, the mutual understanding they forged as they confronted the Germans may have played the biggest role in Hitler’s demise.

  Africonomics - A History of...

  A bold, concise history of Western economic interventions in Africa, by the former director of the Centre of African Studies at the University of Cambridge 
   
  For centuries, Westerners have tried to "fix" African economies. From the abolition of slavery onward, missionaries, philanthropists, development economists, and NGOs have arrived on the continent, full of good intentions and bad ideas. Their experiments have invariably gone awry. 
   
  Historian Bronwen Everill argues that these interventions fail, and frequently cause harm, because they start from a misguided premise: that African economies just need to be more like the West. Ignoring Africa's own traditions of economic thought, Americans and Europeans assumed a set of universal economic laws that they thought could be applied anywhere. They enforced specifically Western ideas about growth, wealth, debt, unemployment, inflation, women's work, and more, and used Western metrics to find African countries wanting. 
   
  The West does not know better than African nations how an economy should be run. By laying bare the myths and realities of our tangled economic history, Africonomics moves from Western ignorance to African knowledge.

  Communication plays a vital role in human beings. In fact, this is the way to understand the society and human behavior. The human brain has the ability to capture the words spoken by the other person and respond. It is very difficult to imagine the world without communication. The social and behavioral events would be absent, if communication does not exist between human beings. However, communication takes place between human to human, human to machine, and machine to machine. A person can understand the desires and feelings of others only when communicated properly. For instance, you have a great idea to take the business to newer heights, but do not possess the communication boon, then how would you express? Isn’t it hard? One more example is that, you have hankered for something, but you do not have the power to express it, then life would become monotonous and in fact lifeless. You cannot express, gossip, or tell your ideas to others. Indeed, life would become meaningless and people have no role to play in the world. Communication is the breath of life and is a necessity for every human being. To express their views one has to communicate with the people. This helps them to understand what is in your heart and brain clearly to the people around you. 
  However, by reading this informative e-book, you will have a thorough understanding on the below concepts of communication theoryWhat is communication theory?Various elements of communicationFramework of communication theoryVarious communication patternsDifferent types of communication theoriesCategorizing communication theories
