  2. 📼 Into the Crater: The Mine Attack at Petersburg by Earl J. Hess (.ePUB The battle of the Crater on July 30, 1864, was the defining event in the 292-day campaign around Petersburg, Virginia, in the Civil War and one of the most famous engagements in American military history. Although the bloody combat of that "horrid pit" has been recently revisited as the centerpiece of the novel and film versions of Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain, the battle has yet to receive a definitive historical study. Distinguished Civil War historian Earl J. Hess fills that gap in the literature of the Civil War with Into the Crater. The Crater was central in Ulysses S. Grant's third offensive at Petersburg and required digging of a five-hundred-foot mine shaft under enemy lines and detonating of four tons of gunpowder to destroy a Confederate battery emplacement. The resulting infantry attack through the breach in Robert E. Lee's line failed terribly, costing Grant nearly four thousand troops, among them many black soldiers fighting in their first battle. The outnumbered defenders of the breach saved Confederate Petersburg and inspired their comrades with renewed hope in the lengthening campaign to possess this important rail center. In this narrative account of the Crater and its aftermath, Hess identifies the most reliable evidence to be found in hundreds of published and unpublished eyewitness accounts, official reports, and historic photographs. Archaeological studies and field research on the ground itself, now preserved within the Petersburg National Battlefield, complement the archival and published sources. Hess re-creates the battle in lively prose saturated with the sights and sounds of combat at the Crater in moment-by-moment descriptions that bring modern readers into the chaos of close range combat. Hess discusses field fortifications as well as the leadership of Union generals Grant, George Meade, and Ambrose Burnside, and of Confederate generals Lee, P. G. T. Beauregard, and A. P. Hill. He also chronicles the atrocities committed against captured black soldiers, both in the heat of battle and afterward, and the efforts of some Confederate officers to halt this vicious conduct. ♻ Book's Info: Author Earl J.

  3. 📼 Bye Bye I Love You by Michael Erard (.ePUB) A beautiful and intimate exploration of first and last words—and the many facets of how language begins and ends—from a pioneering language writer. With our earliest utterances, we announce ourselves—and are recognized—as persons ready for social life. With our final ones, we mark where others must release us to death’s embrace. In Bye Bye I Love You, linguist and author Michael Erard explores these phenomena, commonly called “first words” and “last words,” uncovering their cultural, historical, and biological entanglements and honoring their deep private significance. Erard draws from personal, historical, and anthropological sources to provide a sense of the breadth of beliefs and practices about these phenomena across eras, religions, and cultures around the world. What do babies’ first words have in common? How do people really communicate at the end of life? In the first half of the book, Erard tells the story of first words in human development and evolution, and how the attention to children’s early language—a modern phenomenon—arose. In the second half, he provides a groundbreaking overview of language at the end of life and the cultural conventions that surround it. Throughout he reveals the many parallels and asymmetries between first and last words and asks whether we might be able to use a linguistic understanding of end of life to discover what we truly want. ♻ Book's Info: Author Michael Erard Size 1.1MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational > Linguistics File Type ePUB đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/PKOtZtHGrDpY https://devuploads.com/mk490vh17iro
  4. 📼 Cannabis Farming by Adam Davidoff, Ryan Power (.ePUB) Start your own organic cannabis farm with this complete how-to manual written by two farmers with a decade of experience growing cannabis in the field. Cannabis is rapidly being decriminalized across the country, causing a surge in consumer demand and enabling growers to cultivate cannabis in the open, rather than secretly in greenhouses. Whether you’re a small-scale vegetable farmer who wants to add a high-value crop or a home cannabis grower who wants to expand their operation, authors Adam Davidoff and Ryan Power can help you get growing. They were some of the first vegetable farmers in California to start growing cannabis as a field crop, and have even developed their own cannabis strains that are adapted to field growing rather than indoor cultivation. Now is the perfect time to start growing cannabis for profit! ♻ Book's Info: Author Adam Davidoff, Ryan Power Size 32.8MB Category Non-Fiction > General File Type ePUB đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/xYFzeuK0x71C https://devuploads.com/8rf9hipkpb9u
  5. 📼 Cerebral Entanglements by Allan J. Hamilton (.ePUB) A profound and profoundly important book that, using the most up-to-date revolutionary discoveries in neuroscience, shows us how to understand the brain; how it allows us to think, feel, experience and perceive, written by an acclaimed Harvard-trained neurosurgeon. It took a brain surgeon who’s spent a lifetime in the operating room experiencing the brain's union of form and function to write this book. Cerebral Entanglements, unlike most books on the brain, looks at the intimate and vital emotions in our lives, and shows as well, how neuroimaging studies can transform our understanding of crucial emotional or mental health concerns. Why do we love? Why do we hate? Why do we kill? Why do we laugh? Why do we have faith? Why does time stand still or speed up? Focusing on the nature of consciousness, affection, trust, romance, empathy, kindness; prejudice, sadness, happiness, depression, grief, and the nature of laughter, the author shows us how neuroscience has changed our understanding of these emotions as he explores the extraordinary revelations that have emerged from brain imaging and functional studies. We see that we are the first generation to perceive the contours of a human thought, track the course of an emotion, even watch memory come together. Allan Hamilton writes clearly and accessibly, about the complex science driving our emotions and experiences, and shows how our newfound knowledge can impact our well-being, individually and as a society. As the book explores the nature of happiness, laughter, stress, PTSD. Hamilton writes about how the brain perceives and experiences music, memory, and time itself. ♻ Book's Info: Author Allan J.

  6. 📼 German Armoured Cars by Bryan Perrett (.PDF) Flexibility, mobility, and the ability to effectively communicate were all key requirements that the units operating armoured cars and reconnaissance half-tracks demanded – and that were also crucial to the Panzerwaffe and German Army as a whole. Bryan Perrett’s treatment of the development and history of German armoured cars and recce vehicles fully accounts for the crucial role that such units, and more importantly their vehicles, played during the course of World War II. Full orders of battle are also given, along with technical details and specifications of the vehicles assigned to particular units. ♻ Book's Info: Author Bryan Perrett Size 16MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Bh7L0oDYKy8E https://devuploads.com/3lerc3iibxvm
  7. 📼 Cybernetic Circulation Complex by Alessandra Mularoni (.ePUB) An anti-capitalist guide to breaking the power of Big Tech Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In this brilliant survey of global tech economy, Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google, Palantir and Uber, is in the automation of circulation. By applying digital technologies to processes of market exchange—everything from advertising and shopping, to logistics and financial services—Big Tech aims to subject these activities to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production. But there is a way out of the multiple crises that Big Tech has helped precipitate. If we are to break their grip on the global economy then it’ll take more than just antitrust legislation or reducing individual time online. By understanding the central role Big Tech plays in contemporary capitalism, Dyer-Witheford and Mularoni argue that what is required instead is a new, ambitious and comprehensive program of democratic collective planning that can move us beyond capitalism. Cybernetic Circulation Complex offers not only a compelling analysis of the power of Big Tech and their role in our current global crises, but a roadmap for a new form of life: biocommunism, a digital degrowth that can help us steer between the double boundaries of ecological sustainability and equitable social development. ♻ Book's Info: Author Alessandra Mularoni Size 0.5MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/esarWW3Yzdg3 https://devuploads.com/ecpcc5ljar47
  8. 📼 Embracing Infinite Possibilities by Dr. Bernard A. Harris Jr (.ePUB) Dr. Bernard Harris shares his journey, and an honest discussion of his struggles, ambitions, hopes and dreams, as a testimony to the voyage that we all face with a desire to discover the power from within. All of us have to deal with external challenges at some point in our lives. Liberation comes when you discover just how unimportant these things really are. Then you will no longer see the world around you as hostile and unforgiving. This reality will free you to be who you really are. There is great power with this realization! Self-endowed power that releases you from the burden of self-doubt. There is no greater power in the world, except that of God. This is, in fact, the truth that God wants for each of us. The realization of our own strength, that is, we are an integral part of something greater than ourselves. One of Harris’s lifelong goals is to instill inspiration as well as aspiration in people. Embracing Infinite Possibilities looks to build on these ideas by serving as a roadmap to discover the power within each of us. If we are students of the universe, it is clear to me that each of us must find this power within to find our own way and in our own time—some through the experiences of life, some by reading, others by observing, being taught or through self-study. Harris encourages the reader to find their own path. As a companion to his first book, Dream Walker, Embracing Infinite Possibilities will open their mind to the infinite possibilities of life, instilling hope in those who have yet to discover their own power. ♻ Book's Info: Author Dr. Bernard A.

  10. 📼 Love to Learn by Isabelle C. Hau (.ePUB) The most important aspect of early childhood in general and education in particular is the quality and care of the relationships a child forms. Love to Learn shows how to build and develop these relationships -- and unlock every child's true potential. Early relationships are the key to healthy brain development, resilience, and lifelong flourishing. Children need to be loved, to be valued, to interact, and to be listened to. When children have the space and time to play and explore through nurturing positive relationships, then children learn. But loving relationships are precisely what so many children are missing, and modern factors are making it more difficult for children to build these necessary bonds. Kids are growing up in smaller families with fewer siblings, and in more single-parent households. They have fewer adult family friends and mentors. They have less contact with grand-parents and grand-adults. They spend 60% less time with friends than children did a decade ago. They play outside less—half the time spent by their parent’s generation. They find themselves increasingly immersed in solitary realms of screens, a modern sanctuary where parents seek refuge as well. Many kids are so overscheduled they have less time to build friendships Love to Learn offers a vision for a future where learning is relational, and love is a literacy. It is a provocative paradigm shift, from child-centered education to relationship-centered learning. It weaves in stories of perseverance, empathy, creativity, and showcases innovations anchored in the latest neuroscience and technology advance – all driven by the desire to unlock the inherent human potential in any child. This hope-filled book seeks to change how we raise our children, how we run early learning environments, and how we construct care-full communities. It aims to inspire and engage readers, catalyze new solutions, and in doing so, change our understanding of childhood itself. ♻ Book's Info: Author Isabelle C.

  11. 📼 Milk Drunk by Danielle Schwartz (.ePUB) For generations, expectations for a "good" life in America have remained the same: go to college, get a job, find a partner, get married, and have children. But what happens if someone decides to accomplish all of those things except have a child? In Milk Drunk: What to Expect When You Are Not Expecting, Danielle Schwartz details her very fulfilling but child-free life with her husband, Jim, while facing constant criticism about their family decision. By sharing conversations with friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers, Milk Drunk explores a wide array of topics and opinions. Some people view Danielle as strong and independent for knowing who she is and what she wants, while others believe her choice is "disappointing God" and attempt to convince her that as a woman, she "must use God's given gift" of fertility. Milk Drunk: What to Expect When You Are Not Expecting explores a slew of opinions surrounding the sensitive and personal topic of remaining child-free and provides insight for those who either need support in a similar decision or do not understand why someone they know or love has turned down the choice of parenthood. ♻ Book's Info: Author Danielle Schwartz Size 4.3MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/gslu1qdhgo1Z https://devuploads.com/9qar0y9v6zp9

  13. 📼 Perseverance > Endurance by Blayne Smith, Brandon Young (.ePUB) From the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq to the boardrooms of Nike, Walmart, and Microsoft, Blayne Smith and Brandon Young have consistently built tightly-knit, high-performing teams that persevere and win. Join the Army Rangers on the peaks of the Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan and the Green Berets at Firebase Anaconda to gain key insights for leading teams through uncertainty and the understanding that perseverance is what’s most required for today’s complex world. Doubt crushes leaders daily—from GMs of Fortune 500 companies to small business owners across America, leaders nearly unanimously express doubt and fear in the face of adversity. This makes sense because adversity pushes us beyond our training and our comfort zones. We cannot simply put our heads down and endure. Instead, learn that adversity is an opportunity for transformation. When faced with circumstances beyond our capabilities, we must grow to meet those challenges by persevering and becoming the person the situation requires. ♻ Book's Info: Author Blayne Smith, Brandon Young Size 23.8MB Category Non-Fiction > General > Business File Type ePUB đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/hCprDM3eB4OR https://devuploads.com/6p9aedcschhu
  14. 📼 Preaching from the Cross by Frank J. Matera (.ePUB) Much has been written about the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. But what about Paul specifically as a preacher? How did he understand his commission from the risen Lord Jesus to preach the gospel, and how did he put it into practice? Further, what lessons can contemporary preachers learn from Paul about the theology and practice of preaching to help them be more faithful messengers of God's Word? As a leading Pauline scholar and practicing pastor, Frank Matera has considered these questions, and he offers this short, accessible book to pastors and students as wise and helpful guidance. Matera explores a Pauline theology of preaching, focusing on three main questions: Why did Paul preach? What did he preach? And how did he preach? He also explores Paul's preaching as the ministry of the new covenant. He identifies and explores seven themes of Paul's preaching, which in turn offer key practical insights for preaching in a Pauline way. Readers are encouraged to "preach from the cross," making the crucified Christ their focus and their model, demonstrating what they preach by their own cruciform lives. ♻ Book's Info: Author Frank J.

She wanted stories that reflected her experience, so she started The Single Supplement, a newsletter for single women that didn’t patronize them or assume that their only goal in life was finding a partner. The newsletter immediately took off, gaining thousands of followers and winning awards and features. Now Slawson is ready to cement everything she’s learned into a book. Using her personal experiences along with insights gleaned from years of interviews, Slawson offers us an open, witty, and warmhearted exploration of single life, taking an honest look at its challenges but just as keenly celebrating its joys. She writes about feeling left behind and navigating friendships as people get married and have children; managing personal finances, career, ambition, and self-reliance; deciding whether or not to be a single mother; dealing with the shame and stigma of being single; embracing the freedom and happiness that can be found in being single; and so much more. A vibrant life is within reach for all of us, with or without a partner. Whether you are single long term, recently, keen not to be, happy to be, considering becoming, voluntarily, involuntarily, and so on, Single is an optimistic companion, providing comfort, hope, and understanding to anyone who reads it.

  18. 📼 Summer of Fire and Blood by Lyndal Roper (.ePUB) In this “extraordinary and brilliant book” (Helen Castor, author of She-Wolves), a prize-winning historian offers the definitive account of the sixteenth-century uprising that revolutionized Europe The German Peasants’ War was the greatest popular uprising in Western Europe before the French Revolution. In 1524 and 1525, it swept across Germany with astonishing speed as well over a hundred thousand people massed in armed bands to demand a new and more egalitarian order. The peasants took control of vast areas of southern and middle Germany, torching and plundering the monasteries, convents, and castles that stood in their way. But they proved no match for the forces of the lords, who put down the revolt by slaying somewhere between seventy and a hundred thousand peasants in just over two months. In Summer of Fire and Blood, the first history of the German Peasants’ War in a generation, historian Lyndal Roper exposes the far-reaching ramifications of this rebellion. Though the war’s victors portrayed the uprising as naive and inchoate, Roper reveals a mass movement that sought to make good on the radical potential of the Protestant Reformation. By recovering what the people themselves felt and believed, Summer of Fire and Blood reconstructs the thrilling, tragic story of the peasants’ fight to change the world. ♻ Book's Info: Author Lyndal Roper Size 42.3MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/1MhTrByiiIiU https://devuploads.com/gjqaclzfy864

From there, he led four-man teams on two epic sledging journeys around James Ross Island, overcoming arduous conditions and correcting cartographic mistakes made by previous explorers. The editors’ detailed afterword draws on Taylor’s extensive personal papers to highlight Taylor’s achievements and document his significant contributions to polar science. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of polar exploration, science, and sovereignty. It also sheds light on the little known contribution of a Canadian to a distant theatre of the Second World War. The wartime service of Major Taylor reveals important new details about a groundbreaking operation that laid the foundation for the British Antarctic Survey and marked a critical moment in the transition from the heroic to the modern scientific era in polar exploration. ♻ Book's Info: Author Andrew Taylor Size 7MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/lc2XCn4nl2Ub https://devuploads.com/0vjflvcquno8

Now it turns out that numerous people with secrets to hide had every reason to wish him dead. Which of them murdered him? For Freddy Pilkington-Soames, newspaper reporter and man-about-town, the question hits a little too close to home, thanks to an unfortunate drunken encounter with Ticky's corpse which he'd much rather the police didn't find out about—and thanks also to his exasperating mother Cynthia's seeming determination to get herself arrested by tampering with the evidence. But a pretty girl with big blue eyes is demanding his help in solving the mystery, so what can he do but agree? Now all he has to do is hide the wrong clues, find the right ones, and unmask the murderer before the police discover what's really been going on. That ought to be easy enough. If only people didn't keep getting killed... Book #2 - A Case of Murder in Mayfair Book #2 - A Case of Murder in Mayfair When Hollywood star Dorothy Dacres plummets six floors from her hotel terrace on the night of her greatest triumph, it initially looks like a tragic accident. But her death is so very convenient to her many enemies that press-man Freddy Pilkington-Soames, who was there on the night she died, begins to suspect foul play. And when cocaine is found in her room, it only complicates matters further. Soon Freddy is chasing across London on the trail of drug dealers, in reluctant company with his deadly rival Corky Beckwith, the most unscrupulous reporter in Fleet Street, who will do anything for a story. With the future of a film studio at stake, can Freddy find the culprit—and get one up on Corky—before he becomes the killer's next victim? Book #6 - A Case of Robbery on the Riviera Book #6 - A Case of Robbery on the Riviera ‘Oh, something is bound to go wrong, but one might as well start out from a position of optimism, don’t you think?’ said Angela. It's fair to say that Freddy Pilkington-Soames is not having a good day. His grandmother is threatening to marry a lounge lizard, his old friend has lost her lover, a racehorse has been kidnapped, a priceless diamond has gone missing, and everybody seems to think he should sort it all out. (Oh, and there's a dead body on the terrace.) Now Freddy's on the sunny French Riviera, caught in the crossfire of a feud between an audacious thief he's locked horns with before and a murderous gang who will stop at nothing to get what they want. He'd keep his head down if he could, but there are questions that need answering. Who took the diamond? Who is double-crossing whom? And is his grandmother's intended quite all he seems? (And where did that dead body go?) A political scandal at the highest level is looming and the future of an international conference hangs in the balance, and once again it's up to Freddy to save the day—in more ways than one. Book #8 - A Case of Intrigue in Islington Book #8 - A Case of Intrigue in Islington During a disturbance at an agricultural show in London, a young man of foreign appearance is stabbed, his killer melting away into the crowd. First on the scene is reporter Freddy Pilkington-Soames, who's covering the show for his newspaper and is just in time to hear the victim's last words, warning of danger to a person by the name of Longstaff and begging Freddy to help. Following a second suspicious death, and with only the young man's message and a crumpled newspaper clipping to guide him, Freddy finds himself embroiled in a mystery that becomes increasingly puzzling the more he looks into it. Who was the foreigner, and who wanted him dead? How did he know Longstaff was in danger? And what is the significance of the word "Rosa", which was on his lips as he died? Having exasperated his editor one too many times, Freddy's hanging onto his job by the skin of his teeth, but this is a mystery he can't let go. With ruthless and dangerous criminals on his trail who have no hesitation in using violence to achieve their ends, Freddy is in a race against time to prevent a crime that could have a devastating impact and cause misery for thousands of people. But how can he succeed when he doesn't even know what that crime is? đŸ“„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/BdgIvtgbNXCu https://devuploads.com/8ei1snzld1ze
