Boj a zánik Afrikakorpsu 1941-1943
S polním maršálem Rommelem v africké poušti
Anotace: Když Itálie 11. června 1940 vyhlásila Velké Británii a Francii válku a v září vstoupila do britskými vojsky obsazeného Egypta, wehrmacht se právě připravoval na operaci „Barbarossa“. Ovšem rýsující se italská porážka v Africe přiměla Hitlera, aby v únoru 1941 vyslal vojska wehrmachtu do Tripolisu – to byla hodina zrodu německého Afrikakorpsu. V následujících dvou letech vedla tato vojska pod charismatickým velitelem Erwinem Rommelem se střídavými úspěchy boje v africké pouštní krajině. Tyto boje přivedly německý Afrikakorps od prvních těžkých střetů s Brity u Marsa el Brega přes Tobruk a Sollum do zuřivých bojů o egyptský El Alamein, kde protivník donutil německá a italská vojska po vysokých ztrátách k ústupu. Německý Afrikakorps a jeho italští spojenci dotlačení spojeneckými vojsky v Tunisku k válce na dvou frontách 12. a 13. května kapitulovali. Většina jejich vojáků padla do britského zajetí. Autor líčí slovy i obrázky historii legendárního Afrikakorpsu a válečného tažení v Africe zasazenou do životopisu jeho oslavovaného velitele, generála polního maršála Erwina Rommela, „Pouštní lišky“. Díky jeho genialitě se mu podařilo proti často velké přesile protivníka dosáhnout velkých úspěchů a společně se svými vojáky získat u tehdejšího nepřítele uznání. Thomas K. Hubbard

The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality
Anotace: The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality by Austrian School economist and libertarian thinker Ludwig von Mises is an investigation into the psychological roots of the anti-capitalistic stance that is widespread in the general populations of the capitalist world. Von Mises suggests various reasons for this mentality, primarily his claim that free competition in the market economy allows no excuses of one's failures. Rather, he argues, it creates great incentive for one's desire for improvement and greater effort to succeed, as well as a greater reward for that success. Josef Lössl, Nicholas J. Baker-Brian

Italian Cuisine
A Cultural History
Anotace: Italy, the country with a hundred cities and a thousand bell towers, is also the country with a hundred cuisines and a thousand recipes. Its great variety of culinary practices reflects a history long dominated by regionalism and political division, and has led to the common conception of Italian food as a mosaic of regional customs rather than a single tradition. Nonetheless, this magnificent new book demonstrates the development of a distinctive, unified culinary tradition throughout the Italian peninsula. Jason L. Riley
