Roy Harris, "The Language Myth in Western Culture" English | 2001 | pages: 235 | ISBN: 0700714537, 0415865212 | PDF | 42,1 mb The basic claim of this book is that for 2000 years and more the western tradition has relied on two very dubious assumptions about human communication: that each national language is a unique code and that linguistic communication consists in the utilization of such codes to transfer messages from mind to mind.  The Illustrated History No 126 Wing RCAF D-Day to VE-Day by Donald Nijboer English | November 17, 2014 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B00PT1EZLU | 112 pages | MOBI | 4.96 Mb No 126 Wing RCAF was the most successful Allied fighter wing from D-Day until the end of World War II.

Stefan Olsson, "The Hostages of the Northmen: From the Viking Age to the Middle Ages" English | 2019 | pages: 402 | ISBN: 9176351076 | PDF | 5,7 mb The aim of this book is to investigate the taking and giving of hostages in peace processes during the Viking Age and early Middle Ages in Scandinavia and adjacent areas. Scandinavia has been absent in previous research about hostages from the perspectives of legal and social history, which has mostly focused on Antiquity (the Roman Empire), Continental Germanic cultures, such as the Merovingian realm, and Anglo-Saxon England.  The Holy Trinity of Scones: A Celestial Collection of Sweet and Savory Scones by Zoe Moore English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B785HHH1 | 135 pages | EPUB | 6.32 Mb Whether or not we're pro cooks, we all get the urge to try and bake at some point. Even if we know it's going to end in disaster, our cravings for something freshly baked and homemade are larger than life (a.k.a. our fear of dirty dishes). Thus, if you're already going to make a mess of your kitchen, why not do it for something you love, like scones? They're flaky, buttery goodness is irresistible, so we might as well give in to the temptation to make some.  Geoffrey of Monmouth, "The History of the Kings of Britain " English | ISBN: 0140441700 | | 384 pages | AZW3 | 538 KB Completed in 1136, this classic chronicle traces the story of the realm from its supposed foundation by Brutus to the coming of the Saxons some two thousand years later. Vividly portraying legendary and semi-legendary figures such as Lear, Cymbeline, Merlin the magician, and the most famous of all British heroes, King Arthur, it is as much myth as it is history, and its veracity was questioned by other medieval writers. But Geoffrey of Monmouth's powerful evocation of illustrious men and deeds captured the imagination of subsequent generations, and his influence can be traced through the works of Malory, Shakespeare, Dryden, and Tennyson.

 The Fall of France: The History of Nazi Germany's Invasion and Conquest of France During World War II by Charles River Editors English | July 2, 2015 | ISBN: 151478856X | 115 pages | EPUB | 1.99 Mb *Includes pictures *Includes accounts of the fighting *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "My Luftwaffe is invincible...And so now we turn to England. How long will this one last - two, three weeks?" - Hermann Goering, June 1940 One of the most famous people in the world came to tour the city of Paris for the first time on June 28, 1940. Over the next three hours, he rode through the city's streets, stopping to tour L'Opéra Paris. He rode down the Champs-Élysées toward the Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower, where he had his picture taken. After passing through the Arc de Triomphe, he toured the Pantheon and old medieval churches, though he did not manage to see the Louvre or the Palace of Justice. Heading back to the airport, he told his staff, "It was the dream of my life to be permitted to see Paris. I cannot say how happy I am to have that dream fulfilled today." Four years after his tour, Adolf Hitler would order the city's garrison commander, General Dietrich von Choltitz, to destroy Paris, warning his subordinate that the city "must not fall into the enemy's hand except lying in complete debris." Of course, Paris was not destroyed before the Allies liberated it, but it would take more than 4 years for them to wrest control of France from Nazi Germany after they took the country by storm in about a month in 1940. That said, it's widely overlooked today given how history played out that as the power of Nazi Germany grew alarmingly during the 1930s, the French sought means to defend their territory against the rising menace of the Thousand-Year Reich. As architects of the most punitive measures in the Treaty of Versailles following World War I, France was a natural target for Teutonic retribution, so the Maginot Line, a series of interconnected strongpoints and fortifications running along much of France's eastern border, helped allay French fears of invasion. The true flaw in French military strategy during the opening days of World War II lay not in reliance on the Maginot fortifications but in the army's neglect to exploit the military opportunities the Line created. In other words, the border defense performed as envisioned, but the other military arms supported it insufficiently to halt the Germans. The French Army squandered the opportunity not because the Maginot Line existed but because they failed to utilize their own defensive plan properly; the biggest problem was that the Germans simply skirted past the intricate defensive fortifications by invading neutral Belgium and swinging south, thereby avoiding the Maginot Line for the most part. The French had not expected the Germans would be able to move armored units through the Ardennes Forests, a heavily wooded region spanning parts of Belgium, France and the Netherlands. To the Allies' great surprise, the Germans had no trouble rolling across these lands in the span of weeks. And by invading France from the north, the Germans simply avoided the Maginot Line. The French surrendered in June 1940, and the British narrowly escaped disaster by transporting thousands of soldiers and equipment across the English Channel at Dunkirk. Thus, by the middle of 1940, the Axis powers and the Soviet Union had overrun nearly all of Western Europe. With France out of the war, and without active participation by the United States, Great Britain virtually stood alone. The Fall of France: The History of Nazi Germany's Invasion and Conquest of France During World War II chronicles the background and construction of the much maligned defensive fortifications. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the fall of France like never before, in no time at all.
 Chad Damro, "The European Union's Evolving External Engagement: Towards New Sectoral Diplomacies? " English | ISBN: 0367889226 | 2019 | 294 pages | EPUB | 968 KB In recent decades, the external action of the European Union (EU) has been undergoing considerable change. An expansion of the EU's external policy portfolio can be observed in many areas as previous policies for internal purposes - such as competition, energy, the environment, justice and home affairs or monetary governance but also gender, science, culture or higher education - have developed external dimensions. |
