Sinopse

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 comes to mind when you say the words “Vatican City?” The Pope? Big cathedrals or underground catacombs with the corpses of buried saints from the past? Crowds of people with candles? Or a choir of young men in a certain attire? 
    The Vatican is a landlocked, independent city state and enclave in Rome, Italy. The Vatican City State, also called the Vatican, acquired independence from Italy in the year 1929 with the Lateran Treaty, and it is a different terrain under the Holy See's "full ownership, special rule, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction," which makes sure the city state's temporal, diplomatic, and spiritual independence. 
    This is one of the world’s most unique states/countries, something that is definitely worth understanding. With about 1.4 billion Catholics, in the world, it can be worth your while to study this guide to understand where their leadership and headquarters are situated, and what they do.

    Empath's Survival Guide: An Empath's Guide on How to Become Emotionally and Spiritually Healthy to Be the Best Version of YourselfPeople have common misconceptions about being empathetic and being an empath. To state the obvious, these are two different concepts.  Being empathetic is when our hearts feel for another individual who is going through a period of crisis. Empath people, however, detect their energy, emotions, and physiological symptoms in them. They are usually more accurate in recognizing emotions just by looking through their body language. They are also more likely to acknowledge emotions prior to others and rate those emotions as being more intense.In this audiobook, you will learn how to get the strength, mastery of your vision, and confidence. It will serve as a guide that will teach you how to open your mind to what you should do to gain knowledge on how to make your spiritual life healthyThis audiobook will cover the following topics:1.	The Nature of Empaths and Mystics2.	A Deeper Look into Empaths3.	A Deeper Look into Mystics4.	Understanding Spiritual HealthIF you want to learn more, download your copy of this audiobook today!

    Canadians have relatively few binding national myths, but one of the most pervasive and enduring is the conviction that the country is doomed. In 1965 George Grant passionately defended Canadian identity by asking fundamental questions about the meaning and future of Canada’s political existence. In Lament for a Nation he argued that Canada – immense and underpopulated, defined in part by the border, history, and culture it shares with the United States, and torn by conflicting loyalties to Britain, Quebec, and America – had ceased to exist as a sovereign state. Lament for a Nation became the seminal work in Canadian political thought and Grant became known as the father of Canadian nationalism.
    		 
    This edition includes a major introduction by Andrew Potter that explores Grant’s arguments in the context of changes in ethnic diversity, free trade, globalization, post-modernism, and 9/11. Potter discusses the shifting uses of the terms “liberal” and “conservative” and closes with a look at the current state of Canadian nationalism.

    Favouring manoeuvre over attrition and often punching above their weight, South African soldiers have become known for their tenacity, dash and ability to defy the odds. Their unique directive command style has also helped them to excel in defining battles and operations, from the campaign in German South West Africa in 1915 to the cross-border operations in Angola during the Border War.
    In 20 Battles, military historians Evert Kleynhans and David Brock Katz investigate the evolution of South Africa's armed forces over a century from 1913 to 2013. They track the evolution of the doctrine and structure of the defence force, uncovering historical continuity and the lessons learned from past battles and operations.
    What is clear is that when South African soldiers have the freedom to operate according to their manoeuvre doctrine, as they had in East Africa in 1916 and southern Ethiopia in 1941, they can achieve stunning results. But when hemmed in by rigid doctrine and a top-down command style, as at Delville Wood in 1916 and Tobruk in 1942, the results can be tragic.
    20 Battles combines both battlefield drama and crisp analysis and in the process provides a much-needed perspective on the South African way of war.
