"Djursland besat 1940-45. Tysk besættelse. 2023" beskriver det tyske forsvar på Djursland. Værnemagtens tropper og materiel følges, set i større sammenhæng, fra besættelsens første dag og frem til rømningen i 1945.Tyskerne besatte Danmark den 9. april 1940 for at forhindre englænderne i at afskære dem fra at få jernmalm via Norge og i at angribe dem fra Østersøen.Regeringen fik landet godt gennem besættelsen ved at forhandle sig til rette med tyskerne. Værnemagten begyndte straks at opføre befæstningsanlæg på Jyllands vestkyst. Regeringen støttede befæstningsarbejdet ved bl.a. at lade danske firmaer og ansatte deltage. Den ville så vidt muligt holde arbejdet på danske hænder og forhindre en engelsk-amerikansk invasion, som ville smadre landet og folket. Arbejdsløsheden på over 30% forsvandt og mange erhvervsfolk tjente godt.Besættelsen gav ikke de store problemer de første tre år, hvor englænderne endnu ikke havde fået hvervet danskere til at skabe terror af betydning.Værnemagten anlagde straks en netspærring med miner i havet mellem Hasnæs og Hjelm.1 1942 anlagde den to faste anlæg på Djursland:- Flyradar- og radiostation ved Laen ved Glesborg for flyledelse, aflytning og støjsending.- Flyradarstation ved Lund mellem Hørning/Assentoft for flyovervågning.I det sidste besættelsesår insisterede Hitler på, at man trods Tysklands håbløse situation skulle udbygge befæstningen af Østjylland. På Djursland blev da yderligere anlagt:- Flåderadarstation ved Lushage/Sletterhage på Helgenæs.- Flyvepladsen "Fliegerhorst Tirstrup" med "Feldflugplatz Fuglslev".- Vandflyvepladsen "Ebeltoft See" ved Vibæk i Ebeltoft Vig.- "Marinestøttepunkt Grenaa Havn".- Kanonstilling på Havknuden ved Katholm.- Kanonstilling sydvest for Fornæs Fyr.- Kanonstilling på Knudshoved ved Gjerrild.- Kanonstilling ved Skovgårde ved Fjellerup.- Kanonstilling på Elkær Bakke ved Udbyhøj.- Kanonstilling på Sletterhage, hvortil kanoner dog ikke nåede at blive fremskaffet.- Pansergrav langs Djurslands vestgrænse.- Pigtråd og skyttegrave på en del af strækningen fra Randers Fjord til Grenaa.- Pigtrådshegn fra Sletterhage over Monsbjerg til Lushage.- Dækningsgrave langs med landeveje til ly for vestmagternes flybeskydning.

A frank, funny and galvanising exploration of masculinity, and a manifesto for male allyship, from million-copy bestseller and feminist powerhouse Caitlin Moran.

Anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee looks at pioneering experiments in communal living to present a rousing argument for rethinking what we mean by home.'A must-read' THOMAS PIKETTY'Just wonderful' ANGELA SAINIThroughout history and around the world today, forward-thinking communities have pioneered alternative ways of living together, sharing property and raising children. In Everyday Utopia, anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee explores what we can learn from these experiments - from the ancient Greek commune founded by Pythagoras to the trail-blazing feminists of the French Revolution, from the cohousing movement in contemporary Denmark to the flourishing ecovillages of Colombia and Portugal. She shows why utopian thinking is essential to making a fairer world and that many of the best ways of getting there begin at home.'This warm, intelligent and lucid book takes us on a deep dive into how people have created better systems for living - systems that actually work' ROBERT WALDINGER, author of The Good Life and director of the Harvard Study of Adult Developmet'Exhilarating.

“With his pioneering research, Corey Keyes put languishing on the map. In this powerful book, he brings it to life. Get ready to rethink your understanding of mental health, update your views on happiness, and come closer to realizing your potential.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden PotentialIf you’re muddling through the day in a fog, often forgetting why you walked into a room . . . If you feel emotionally flattened, lacking the energy to socialize or feel joy in the small things . . . If you feel an inner void—like something is missing, but you aren’t sure what . . . Then this book is for you.Languishing—the state of mental weariness that erodes our self-esteem, motivation, and sense of meaning—can be easy to brush off as the new normal, especially since indifference is one of its symptoms. It is not a synonym for depression and its attendant state of prolonged sadness. Languishers are more likely to feel out of control of their lives, uncertain about what they want from the future, and paralyzed when faced with decisions. Left unchecked, languishing not only impedes our daily functioning but is a gateway to serious mental illness and early mortality.Emory University sociologist Corey Keyes has spent his career studying the causes and costs of languishing—the neglected middle child of mental health. Now Keyes has written the first definitive book on the subject, examining the ripple effect of languishing on our lives before deftly diagnosing the larger forces behind its rise: the false promises of the self-help industrial complex, a global moment of intense fear and loss, and a failing healthcare system focused on treating rather than preventing illness.Ultimately, Keyes presents a counterintuitive approach to breaking the cycles keeping us stuck and finding a path to true flourishing. Unlike self-improvement systems offering quick-fix mood boosts, his framework focuses on functioning well: taking simple but powerful steps to hold our emotions loosely, becoming more accepting of ourselves and others, and carving out daily moments for the activities that create cycles of meaning, connection, and personal growth.Languishing is a must-read for anyone tempted to downplay feelings of demotivation and emptiness as they struggle to haul themselves through the day, and for those eager to build a higher tolerance for adversity and the pressures of modern life. We can expand our vocabulary for describing our inner experiences and deepest needs—and, with it, our potential to flourish.

"The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 dawned what Francis Fukuyama called 'The End of History.' Three decades later, Jim Sciutto said on CNN's air as the Ukraine war began, that we are living in a '1939 moment.' History never ended-it barely paused-and the global order as we have known it is now gone. Great powers are reinvigorated and determined to assert dominance on the world stage. And as it escalates, this new order will affect everyone across the globe. Peace has been shattered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but in reality, this affects every corner of our world-from Helsinki to Beijing, from Australia to the North Pole. This is a battle with many fronts: on the Arctic floor, in the oceans and across the skies, and in cyberspace. Sciutto argues that we are witnessing the return of great power conflict, 'a definitive break between the post-Cold War era and an entirely new and uncertain one.' The world order that marked the last thirty years is shifting, and Sciutto details the realities of this new post-post-Cold War era, the increasingly aligned Russian and Chinese governments, and the flashpoint of a new, global nuclear arms race. With savvy, thorough reporting, he follows-up his 2019 bestseller, The Shadow War: Inside Russia's and China's Secret Operations to Defeat America, which focused on the covert tactics of a hidden conflict. The Return of Great Powers is an analysis of a historic and visible shift in real time. And it poses a question: that as we consider uncertain outcomes, we ask whether the West and Russia and China can prevent a new World War"--

Dealing with some of the most heinous crimes imaginable, forensic neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Richard Lettieri gives a behind-the-scenes look at criminal psychology through case studies from his over 30 years of experience as a court-appointed and privately retained psychologist.With cases like Michael, who stabbed his mother in the back believing she was the evil force causing the sun to descend upon the earth and gobble him up, and Tina, who seriously injured her boyfriend and stabbed his son to death, Decoding Madness is filled with gripping stories and forensic analysis. Through psychological examination, it is the author's job to conclude whether these individuals are truly guilty and understand their actions are wrong, or if these individuals are not guilty by reason of insanity and instead require treatment.Decoding Madness offers a nuanced psychological understanding of defendants and their personal complexities beyond the usual clinical accounts. The book introduces the novel idea of the daimonic as a basic force of human nature that is the source of our constructive and destructive capacities and argues for an update to the criminal justice system's perspective on rationality and conscious thinking.Featuring new findings and personal insights, Dr. Lettieri presents an engrossing view of the psychology of defendants accused of committing heinous crimes and the insight that they provide towards the human mind.

The first comprehensive account of the rise and fall of what historians consider to be the world's very first empire: Assyria'A work of remarkable synthesis. The range of its sources is truly extraordinary . . . Frahm punctures a fair share of myths too' Pratinav Anil, The TimesAt its height in 660 BCE, the kingdom of Assyria stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. It was the first empire the world had ever seen. Here, historian Eckart Frahm tells the epic story of Assyria and its formative role in global history. Assyria's wide-ranging conquests have long been known from the Hebrew Bible and later Greek accounts. But nearly two centuries of research now permit a rich picture of the Assyrians and their empire beyond the battlefield: their vast libraries and monumental sculptures, their elaborate trade and information networks, and the crucial role played by royal women.Although Assyria was crushed by rising powers in the late seventh century BCE, its legacy endured from the Babylonian and Persian empires to Rome and beyond. Assyria is a stunning and authoritative account of a civilisation essential to understanding the ancient world and our own.
