    This book contains the following titles: 
    - Tanks of the Eastern Front: The Eastern Front of World War II was a vast and brutal theater of combat that spanned thousands of miles, from the icy steppes of northern Russia to the warm plains of the Ukraine. It was here that some of the largest and most decisive battles of the war took place, involving millions of soldiers, tanks, and aircraft. The conflict between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union began in 1941 with the German invasion under Operation Barbarossa, and it would continue until the final Soviet assault on Berlin in 1945. This epic struggle not only shaped the outcome of the war but also fundamentally altered the future of Europe and the global balance of power. 
    - War on the Waves: The naval power wielded by the world’s great nations during World War II shaped not only the outcome of the conflict but also the geopolitical landscape for decades to come. Control of the seas became a decisive factor in determining the success or failure of military strategies and the fate of nations. This maritime struggle, fought on vast oceans and distant shores, was as much a war of technology, tactics, and intelligence as it was of sheer naval might. 
    - Blitzkrieg: The outbreak of World War II in 1939 heralded the arrival of a new era in military strategy, characterized by speed, surprise, and relentless coordination. At the heart of this revolution was Blitzkrieg, or "lightning warfare," a doctrine developed and executed primarily by Nazi Germany. Blitzkrieg was a military strategy that sought to overcome the static, trench-based warfare that had defined World War I. The tactics were designed to strike quickly and decisively, bypassing traditional defenses and causing maximum disruption. Its goal was not just to win battles but to create a psychological shock, overwhelming the enemy with rapid, coordinated strikes before they could mount a defense.

    Arranging ofrendas. Brewing pericón into a healing tea. Releasing traumas through baños and limpias. Herbalist and curandera Atava Garcia Swiecicki spent decades gathering this traditional knowledge of curanderismo, Mexican folk healing, which had been marginalized as Chicanx and Latinx Americans assimilated to US culture. She teaches how to follow the path of the curandera, as she herself learned from apprenticing with Mexican curanderas, studying herbal texts, and listening to her ancestors. In this book listeners will learn the Indigenous, African, and European roots of curanderismo. Atava also shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers listeners the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people.

    Hearing from God is extraordinary. But the circumstances He uses to reveal Himself may be more ordinary than we think.Neighbors and Wise Menintroduces captivating dialogues and unexpected moments with God that go beyond the confines of a conventional religious system and offer the chance for powerful life transformation.Get to know Tony Kriz (known by many as "Tony the Beat Poet" in Donald Miller's best-selling book Blue Like Jazz) through his real-life conversations and experiences that prove that God can and will use anyone and anything— from Muslim lands to antireligious academics to post-Christian cultures—to make Himself known.Through his own prodigal-son backstory and return to faith, Tony presents biblical truth in a conversational, but bold light that offers readers the courage to open their eyes to the unlikely encounters that are all around us every day; chance run-ins that turn out to be anything but chance.Have we limited God's ability to speak in our world today? Have we relegated God's creative voice to the select persons who share our particular religious system? Kriz himself felt like he was falling out of faith until non-Christians encouraged him to "fall toward Christ."
