Описание: Unless someone publishes a similar book, The World War II Pigeons and the Secret Columba Messages will be the first collection of some of the Columba messages held at The National Archives, London. Residents of occupied Europe wrote the messages and pigeons delivered the messages to Britain. The British created Operation Columba to gather intelligence from occupied France, Holland, and Belgium. From 1941 to 1945, British aircraft dropped approximately 17,000 pigeons in small containers attached to small parachutes. Those who found the pigeon also found a questionnaire, rice paper, a pencil, and a set of instructions for how to attach the message to the pigeon. Under the German occupation, sending a message with a pigeon was a crime punishable by death. This made the messages a unique form of communication, because unlike diaries or letters, the writer had little time to reflect and make decisions about what to write. The longer someone kept a pigeon, the more likely they were to be discovered. People risked their lives to give information about ammo dumps, troop movements, BBC transmissions, radar stations, the morale of the German soldiers, airfields, and their personal experiences. Some messages contain copious amounts of military intelligence. Some messages include military intelligence and also expressions of frustration and despair. The World War II Pigeons and the Secret Columba Messages does not include introductions to or summaries of the messages. The reader can absorb the information and the emotions without the influence of a contemporary analysis. Perhaps this book would be useful in history courses. The book contains the report on the German reaction to Operation Columba. The Germans deployed falcons to kill the pigeons. They also used decoy pigeons. The Germans trained pigeons to fly back to German pigeon lofts and they outfitted them with counterfeit British message capsules. The message writer would reveal intelligence intended for the British, but t

Описание:
Paris in Architecture, Literature, and Art is a textbook in cultural studies that capitalizes on the little exposure liberal arts students have to architecture and the widespread popularity of Paris across the curriculum. Designed for a college course in the humanities, the textbook is also suitable for a high school course or a study abroad program in Paris.
The book focuses on Paris, which throughout history has been the stage and experimental ground for artists and intellectuals from all over the world, making it the crucible of Western thought and consummate material for an interdisciplinary study. Each chapter presents a cultural movement such as the Gothic, classical, romantic, and modern that are predominant in the Parisian landscape. The interdisciplinary approach promotes critical thinking, inspiring students to identify and translate esthetic concepts from one discipline to another, and explore, for instance, what impressionist literature or cubist architecture might be.
A complimentary teacher's manual e-book is available with purchase.

Описание:
Corey LaCroix only wanted to snowboard, but Olympic medals and world championships only carry you so far when your knees ache and you're suddenly an underdog for the first time in her career. Elise Brandeis doesn't need a training partner, especially an unorthodox has-been snowboarder with an attitude. But Elise has already lost a full season to injury, and she's struggling to make the Olympic ski team. Can teaming up with Corey give her the edge she needs to go for gold, or will the snowboarder's infuriatingly cocky smile and rock hard abs prove a distraction she simply can't afford?
Both champions brace themselves for the run of a lifetime. Putting their broken bodies on the line, they fight the competition, the clock, and the frozen terrain for one more chance at glory. But this time, as they ride the razor's edge between victory and defeat, the stakes are steeper than any mountain they will ever face when legacies and hearts collide.
Rachel Spangler is the Golden Crown Literary Society and Rainbow Award-winning author of ten lesbian romance novels and novellas. She lives with her wife and son in Western New York.
