Summary

This German WWII military history offers an in-depth view of armored combat across Europe from the perspective of the Waffen SS. The Waffen SS were considered the elite of the German armed forces in the Second World War and were involved in almost continuous combat. In this volume, a former Waffen SS captain offers an in-depth account of their armored combat operations across the European Theater and into the Eastern Front.   From the sweeping tank battle of Kursk in southwestern Russian to the bitter fighting among the hedgerows of Normandy and the last great offensive in the Ardennes, forever immortalized in history at the Battle of the Bulge, this chronicle presents a vivid frontline view of the drama.

    What role can the humanities play in shaping our common future? What are the values that guide us in the 21st century? How can we unleash the potential the humanities offer in a time of multiple crises? This volume tackles some of these fundamental questions, acknowledging and developing the changing role of academic discourse in a turbulent world. This timely book argues that the humanities engender conceptual tools that are capable of reconciling theory and practice. In a bold move, we call for the humanities to reach beyond the confines of universities and engage in the most urgent debates facing humanity today - in a multidisciplinary, transformative, and constructive way. This is a blueprint for how societal change can be inclusive and equitable for the good of humans and non-humans alike.

    In various aspects of life, we are all forced to deal with the common obstacle of having to deal with difficult individuals. For instance, difficult coworkers or bosses at work might contribute to an unfavorable work environment, reduce productivity, and even impact happiness at work. Personal connections can be strained, stressful, and filled with conflict when difficult friends or family members are involved. It is possible to improve the quality of our lives as well as the lives of those who are close to us by becoming more skilled at navigating difficult social encounters. 
One of the most crucial skills for one's own personal growth and development is the capacity to deal with difficult people. In order for us to learn how to deal with difficult people, we need to develop abilities such as active listening, empathy, assertiveness, and the ability to resolve conflicts. These abilities not only make it easier for us to deal with difficult people, but they also make it possible for us to become better communicators as well as more efficient leaders. 
The capacity to concentrate on what the other person is saying without interrupting or becoming distracted is an essential component of active listening. This ability allows us to understand the perspective and feelings of the other person, which is critical for developing empathy and trust for one another.

    Historical Painters - The Legacy...

    This is a compilation of 4 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
1: Claude Monet has been the icon for the impressionist movement. Painting vague strokes of color and contrast, water, and flowers were typical. Other aspects of the art weren’t as clear but were just as important, nonetheless. Claude Monet certainly faced many struggles as he tried to build his passion for painting into a career. His family life wasn’t perfect either, but despite of all these obstacles, the French genius painter has left us a legacy and a new perspective on realism and technique in their purest forms. 
2: Picasso’s work is famous. His art is intricate yet bizarre. Many people have stood still over the wonders and simplicity of cubism and surrealism and have either been disgusted or amazed by it. From records, we learn that he had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and was extremely abusive in several of his relationships, dominating the women he slept with in kinky, sadistic ways. His children weren’t any better off, creating substance abuse and suicidal headlines. 
3: There is no doubt that Michelangelo is one of the most influential artists of all time, together with some other Renaissance geniuses such as Leonardo and Rafael. Michelangelo had a vision, a dream, and the talent to carry out those imaginations. His life, in our perspective, is a compilation of great works of art, architecture, sculptures, paintings, and intricate movements, contrast, colors, and anatomy of the human body. 
4: Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. His style was unique in that he used all types of colors in a painting that didn’t show those colors in reality and somehow, he still made it work and look like an actual shape.
