Walters G: Stealing Hitler's Rocket / LF

Stealing Hitler's Rocket

The Incredible Mission to Smuggle a V-2 Rocket out of Nazi-Occupied Europe to Britain

Why do development projects so often fail to deliver progress, yet succeed in strengthening states?&nbsp;Central Margins answers this question by exposing the paradox at the heart of development: economic failure masking political success. Through vivid ethnography and deep archival research, the book shows how Sri Lanka's ambitious programmes - most notably the World Bank-funded Mahaweli Development Scheme - collapsed as projects of prosperity but triumphed as tools of militarisation, demographic engineering, and state consolidation. Introducing the concept of 'hidden state transcripts', it reveals how governments project images of benevolent development while embedding surveillance, displacement, and majoritarian nationalism in everyday life. By analysing state power from the&nbsp;contested margins of the Sinhala-Buddhist state,&nbsp;Central Margins&nbsp;demonstrates how postcolonial regimes weaponise development and environmental governance to remake sovereignty. This original account speaks not only to scholars of South Asia, but to anyone interested in how development reshapes power and politics across the Global South. This title is Open Access.

Sri Lanka's Violent Frontier

The Che Guevara Library

En una carta a su madre en 1954, un joven Ernesto Guevara escribió: "Las Américas serán el teatro de mis aventuras de una manera mucho más significativa de lo que yo hubiera creído". En America Latina se&nbsp;narra la historia de esas aventuras, trazando la evolución del Che desde el joven e impresionable estudiante de medicina al "guerrillero heroico", asesinado a sangre fría en Bolivia. A lo largo de diecisiete años, esta antología se nutre de los archivos personales de su familia y ofrece lo mejor de los escritos del Che: ejemplos de su periodismo, ensayos, discursos, cartas e incluso poemas. A medida que el Che documenta sus primeros viajes por América Latina, su participación en las revoluciones guatemalteca y cubana, y su ascenso a la prominencia internacional bajo el mando de Fidel Castro, vemos cómo su ferviente compromiso con la justicia social moldeó y fue moldeado por el continente al que llamó hogar. Casi la mitad de este libro se publica por primera vez y es anterior a la llegada del Che a Cuba con la expedición guerrillera de Fidel Castro en 1956. También se incluyen sus notas para su libro inacabado, The Social Role of Doctors in Latin America.

AI is accelerating everything-decision cycles, information flow, and expectations. In this whirlwind environment, leaders are being asked to navigate and lead through unprecedented volatility, uncertainty, and complexity. But many are still relying on a leadership model designed for stability, predictability, and control.

This model persists not because it's optimal, but because it's familiar. It's what we know.

Ultra Leadership 2.0 challenges that default.

In this book, Dr. Greg Giuliano offers a new operating system for leadership in the age of AI-one that replaces control with connection, compliance with commitment, and direction with development. At its core is a simple idea: leadership is not about having the answers. It's about creating the conditions for people to succeed together.

This is your opportunity to break from "business as usual," upgrade your leadership OS, and lead in a way that matches the world we are now in.

The question is: are you ready to let go of what no longer works?

An OS for the Age of AI

The author of the internationally successful book From Zero to Millionaire is back with a book on the best ways to invest in the stock market. Stop treating the stock market like a casino - discover the proven, stress-free strategy that builds lasting wealth. In The Art of Multiplying Your Money, financial journalist and bestselling author Nicolas Bérubé uses rigorous academic research and real-world historical data to dismantle the myth that successful investing requires picking winning stocks, timing the market, or chasing hot tech trends. Instead, he reveals how anyone can achieve exceptional long-term wealth, whether you have $100 or $100 million to invest. Across 17 engaging lessons, this book answers the most pressing questions investors face today. By the time you've finished this book, you'll know the answers to the following questions:- Will the stock market always keep rising? How do you survive if it crashes? - How much can you withdraw from your investments each year to live on? - Is the concentration of the U.S. market in a handful of tech stocks cause for concern? Crucially, the book focuses on the greatest risk of all: human psychology. By highlighting the cognitive biases that lead investors to panic and sabotage their own portfolios, Bérubé teaches readers how to automate their success, providing a comprehensive roadmap to financial independence. Whether you have $100 or $100 million, this is the ultimate guide to passive investing and behavioural finance so you can learn how to ignore the financial noise and let the global market multiply your money whilst you sleep.

The Art of Multiplying Your Money

This open access book explores the political utility and consequences of memory laws with a focus on how militant memory laws frame, underpin and generate international conflicts. Proceeding from Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, this examination plots how memory laws have preceded, partially led to, and encouraged the outbreak of the war itself via Russian propaganda. It also offers a broader perspective looking at developments in the Baltic States, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Hungary, and Poland, as well as in European (Council of Europe and European Union) law. Bringing together scholars with diverse perspectives, this book provides both analysis and conceptual reflection for scholars assessing the politics of memory laws. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open Access was funded by the University of Copenhagen.

Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics 2025

A sweeping and comprehensive history of Prague--from its origins in the ninth century to the present day--that traces its past as a political center and a city on the periphery of empires.

Poets have called Prague the City of One Hundred Spires, Golden Prague, Magic Prague, and the Mother of Cities. Millions of tourists visit the Czech capital each year, awed by the blend of architectural styles and the dramatic landscape. St. Vitus's Gothic cathedral towers above the Charles Bridge and the Vltava River. Winding Gothic alleys lead to elegant squares lined with Renaissance palaces, Baroque statues, and modern glass structures. Yet, the city's beauty often obscures centuries of ethnic and religious conflict. In Prague's Jewish Quarter, the names of nearly 80,000 Holocaust victims are inscribed on the walls of Pinkas Synagogue, which stands as a reminder of a complex and violent past. 

Cynthia Paces traces the history of Prague since the late ninth century, when Slavic dukes built the first church and fortifications on the castle hill. Over the course of eleven centuries, Prague vacillated between a political center and a city on the periphery of empires. The Holy Roman Emperors Charles IV and Rudolph II transformed Prague into a European center of arts, politics, and pilgrimage, but centuries of religious conflict, the defenestrations of Prague, and the Thirty Years War threatened to destroy the city. In the twentieth century, Prague was hailed as a beacon of democracy, led by philosopher presidents T. G. Masaryk and Václav Havel, but its citizens also endured violent antisemitism, a Nazi occupation, and a repressive communist regime.

While illuminating a millennium of political, cultural, and social developments, Prague: The Heart of Europe captures the lives of the men and women who have called the city home. Prague has housed Europe's largest Jewish community, a diverse population of German and Czech speakers, and artisans from all over Europe. This sweeping book highlights the manifold contributions of Prague's artists, architects, musicians, and writers. In doing so, it reveals why the city captivated so many creative men and women, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonín Dvorák, Oskar Kokoschka, the poet Elizabeth Weston, and the alchemist John Dee. As Prague native Franz Kafka once wrote, "Prague does not let go; this little mother has claws."

After the First World War, the Berlin theater critic Alfred Kerr travels to America and Great Britain. Kerr, who calls New York the "greatest city in the world", visits the Broadway theaters and Wall Street, marvels at the subway, Times Square and Grand Central Station. He writes about Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape, talks to the satirist Henry Louis Mencken, the railroad magnate W. Averell Harriman - banking partner of the Bush family - and Adolph Ochs, the publisher of the New York Times. In London, he meets the poet George Bernard Shaw. But the book, written concisely and wittily, is much more than just a travelogue. After the war, when the mood in America and England became extremely hostile towards Germany, when German professors were dismissed and propaganda films agitated against Germany, Kerr is on a mission to explore the situation and ask for understanding and help for the fragile Weimar democracy.

"Although a major literary and cultural figure in pre-1933 Germany, the writer and critic Alfred Kerr is sadly little known in Britain where he spent his last years in exile and where he is best known, if at all, as the father of artist and children's author Judith Kerr. By translating Kerr's exile memoir, I Went to England, Alan Bance has already helped to redress this balance. He now brings Kerr's reflections on America and Britain in the years after the First World War to an anglophone audience, capturing Kerr's individual and aphoristic style. Kerr's reflections on subjects as diverse as postwar Anglo-American attitudes to the Germans, the skyscrapers of New York, a trip to the Henley Regatta or the beauty of the Scottish landscape offer a brilliant and kaleidoscopic view of a German traveller's experiences in the USA and Britain in the early 1920s."
-Susan Reed, Lead Curator Germanic Collections, British Library, London

Has there ever been a better traveling companion than Alfred Kerr? Urbane, keen-eyed, and generous in spirit, he surveyed New York in the Roaring 20s-"the most alert, the most stupendous, the truly newest of new worlds"-capturing its throbbing intensity in quick brushstrokes before taking on Britain, with London as his starting point. "New York and London" is a kaleidoscopic, breathless tour straddling two continents, filled to the brim with rapid-fire observations, philosophical asides, pithy character studies, and sharp commentary on national character. "My advantage is that I come from somewhere else, with a fresh eye for differences," he wrote. Precisely. 
-William Grimes, The New York Times

Alfred Kerr, feuilletonist and phrase-coining tastemaker, was the great theater critic of the Weimar Republic. As this pungent and addictive volume shows, he was also one of the great travel writers.
-Drew Lichtenberg, Dramaturg and Theater Critic

A thousand years ago, the Knights of the Round Table made an oath to protect the realm forevermore. It's safe to say they didn't think it all the way through. Now Britain is embroiled in the Second World War, and the knights are still fighting the enemies of the realm. They're also fighting each other - Kay and Lancelot haven't spoken since Agincourt, and everyone wishes Agravain would stop speaking entirely. Isolde - known in myth and legend for her tragic romance with the knight Tristan - is fed up of her tragic reputation. In a time when women have more freedom than ever before, she's determined to strike out on her own. But when she discovers old enemies working alongside the Nazis, she realises she can't fight all of them by herself. It might be time to get the old band back together . . . From the Sunday Times bestselling Thomas D. Lee comes this sharp and witty caper, asking what happens when knights in armour return to fix the problems of a more modern world . . .
