In 1943, the fate of the Eastern Front hung in the balance. After a crushing defeat at Stalingrad, the German Army, desperate to regain the initiative, planned a huge offensive near the city of Kursk, 280 miles south-west of Moscow. Armed with the new Panther and Tiger tanks, Hitler and Field Marshal Erich von Manstein hoped to cut off and destroy Soviet forces in the Kursk salient using a pincer attack. But the Soviets knew they were coming, and they were ready. The elite SS Panzer divisions were flung headlong into a well-prepared Soviet defence, and a bitter battle ensued. This graphic novel brings that battle vividly to life through the eyes of the men who were there, combining historical authenticity with stunning illustrations to tell the full story of the last great German offensive on the Eastern Front.

SHTF Disaster Survival Gear Guide A to ZBest Bug Out Gear & Supply ManualJust look through the last 20 years of headlines. The world has seen more terrorist attacks, civil unrest, large scale riots, looting, nuclear threats, active shooter situations, major wars, and school shootings than ever before. If you think this the new normal of the 21st century, let me be the first to disagree with you strongly. These are not, but this is a new reality. We have to learn to accept it, and I have, but as the world is changing, I have decided to change a little too.What if there is an attack in your city or in mine? Will we be prepared? As a professional hiker, I have traveled the world for years. I have met many interesting people along the way. But one group of people that stood out from all the rest were five guys I met in Columbia. I was their hiking coach for a week, and we were off to a very rough terrain when one of them asked me if I could teach them about disaster preparation and wilderness survival. I was surprised to hear his question, but the concerned look on his face told me he was dead serious. That question opened my mind and eyes wide open, and I realized I was not alone. There are people who fear the same as I do.When I taught disaster survival courses, I always told people, SHTF preparation is not all about just stockpiling food, water, and securing shelter. Well, think about it, if you only need to take shelter and hide for a week, yes, then it is fine to just have food, water, and secure shelter.But what if the disaster is truly a big and longer-lasting one? Would you be okay with just those three items? Or would you need to have a few more things to survive in the long run? Ideally, disaster preparation is much more than just that; a true preparation would be where you learn a few basic survival skills, master them, practice them and become a pro at them. To be truly successful, you need to take a comprehensive approach and look at the big picture as a whole, and that is exactly what I have done in these three books. In this book, along with Henry Miller, who is a commercial flight instructor and one of the well-known expert on survival gear and their proper use, we tried to show you every step of analyzing and picking the right gear for your specific needs to prepare for that ultimate disaster survival.We show you: What and how to prepare an EDC kitWhat and how to prepare a BOBWhat and how to prepare a GHB bagWhat and how to prepare an INCH bagHow to build a pet BOBWhat is the proper gear for your kidsWhat and how to pick the best bladed toolsWhat is the best knife to have in your kitDifference between multipurpose tools vs. Multi-tools5 Best Keychain and Wallet Multi-ToolsHow to build your own custom First Aid KitHow to pick the best lighting gear for your kitWhat Generators are the best for your needWhat is Bivy Shelter vs. Bivy Bag and which is better for youWhat rain gears are best for youWhat types of Gas Mask should you buy and whyBest Survival Self Defense Weapons to add to your kitWhat and how to use a tactical penWhat is the best Bug out vehicle7 Ways to upgrade your vehicle for survivalLet's get started
The purpose of this book is for believers to take a close look at their walk with Christ. Coming from a recovery background we saw the need for a spiritual inventory, not just for those in recovery, but for all believers. Christians are to be different than the world. That difference comes from being under His influence and not the influence of the flesh. This takes a determined and disciplined walk. Our desire is that believers would use this book to see if they really have traded their "old man" for the "new man" as Paul tells us in Colossians 3:9-10. For all Christ has done for us, why would we try and follow Him with anything less than 100% commitment? We pray that as you read through these questions you would reflect seriously on your commitment to Jesus Christ and the things of God. Jim is a believer in Jesus Christ who used to struggle with drugs and alcohol and now lives daily in freedom at the foot of the cross. He is a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. He has worked construction, restaurants, truck driver, delivered pizzas, phonebooks, and flowers, installed fiber optic cable, chemical salesman, auto parts, Fed-Ex warehouse, auto body, and back to construction where he heeded the call to full time ministry. Robbie became a Christian in high school, was active in campus ministry in college, and was a Young Life leader after college. She seemed to be doing all the right things, with all the right people, for all the right reasons. She met Jim, a non-believer, when she was 24 years old and the roller coaster of their lives together began. Robbie's desire is that believers would yearn to live and walk daily under His (Holy Spirit) Influence.
With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It’s a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of energy policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. Energy systems are large and complex, so energy policy must be focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won’t get the job done. Policymakers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the energy policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to design these policies well. Designing Climate Solutions: A Policy Guide for Low-Carbon Energy is the first such guide, bringing together the latest research and analysis around low carbon energy solutions. Written by Hal Harvey, CEO of the policy firm Energy Innovation, with Robbie Orvis and Jeffrey Rissman of Energy Innovation, Designing Climate Solutions is an accessible resource on lowering carbon emissions for policymakers, activists, philanthropists, and others in the climate and energy community. In Part I, the authors deliver a roadmap for understanding which countries, sectors, and sources produce the greatest amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and give readers the tools to select and design efficient policies for each of these sectors. In Part II, they break down each type of policy, from renewable portfolio standards to carbon pricing, offering key design principles and case studies where each policy has been implemented successfully. We don’t need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future—and we can’t afford to. Designing Climate Solutions gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future

Communication is the venue people use to invite others to their mental party.It's a Conversation is a head-to-head and heart-to-heart collaboration between two friends. During their casual talks, they decided to use Post-its and record comments that sounded special and worth remembering. These jotted Post-its grew and became this book. The authors agreed early on that what people say frequently includes onion-peel layers of meaning that extends further than the literal words being spoken. This book shares their perspectives with the reader by offering some clarity to selected, familiar phrases and buzz statements.It's a Conversation takes a second, sometimes third look, before responding to the situations presented in each idiom. The authors are looking at the big picture, not just what was said. For example, an old adage like "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" can unpack a deeper meaning once it is studied.It's a Conversation highlights the power your words have. Words can add to or subtract value from a person's quality of life. Unlike perishable groceries, words don't possess the luxury of a shelf life or an expiration date. Words outlive their microphoned participants, and yes, what is said, who says it, how and why it is said--always matters.
British society is increasingly divided into the haves and the have-nots. Housing epitomizes this division with spiralling rents, exorbitant prices, lack of council provision, poorly maintained stock, and polluted cities with ever decreasing green space. Daniel Renwick and Robbie Shilliam provide a recent history of squalor culminating in the Grenfell Tower fire. In doing so they reveal a profound political failure to provide fair and just solutions to shelter – the most basic of human needs. Renwick and Shilliam argue that agents of change exist within those populations presently damned by a racist and class-riven system of housing provision.
