Synopsis

A military historian’s account of the German fortifications at Omaha Beach explains the huge American losses during this key WWII conflict.   In this fresh look at D-Day—one of World War II's pivotal battles—author Steven Zaloga draws on original research, including recently discovered German artillery maps, and offers well-supported evidence for why the U.S. Army suffered such enormous casualties on Omaha Beach.  Focusing on Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, who oversaw German defenses in Normandy, Zaloga covers little-known aspects of the war, such as the German patrols who were tasked with shooting down pigeons the French resistance used to send messages to the Allies, offering up conclusions that are sure to spark debate.

    Anger is one of the six core human emotions which we all experience from time to time. The Angry Alien feels 'different' and means he finds it difficult to control his emotions. His anger only makes him harder to understand until a good friend helps him come to terms with why he is the way he is and how to overcome those 'big feelings.' A book for younger readers to read alone or with the help of adults. Useful reading aids included. Beautifully illustrated and in easy-to-understand rhyme.

    Radionics is the term for machines which manipulate life forces. This is often for healing or increasing psychic perceptions.The Author is an engineer and has many decades of experience with the paranormal and well as time learning and experimenting with radionics devices from the 1970s.While radionics devices are often considered pseudoscience, those opinions don’t take into account the sensitivities of individuals who have incredible paranormal and healing abilities.In my first year of engineering school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York I met a man who became my mentor in the Paranormal and other things too. This was in 1973.I learned to meditate and how to open my crown chakra to take in vital forces which allowed me to do many things including healing others.In addition I also met another middle aged guy at a Psychic Fair in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was a researcher in the arcane field of Kirlian Photography.In this book the history of radionics is discussed, some of the major influencers on that history, how these devices are used for healing, and even some plans for building radionics devices. My hope is that this book will give you a good grounding in radionics to learn to use it productively for your own efforts.
