They flew planes made of canvas and wood. They had no parachutes, no radios, and no radar. Their top speed was slower than a WWI fighter. And yet, the all-female 588th Night Bomber Regiment became the terror of the German eastern front.The Nazis called them "Nachthexen" (Night Witches) because the whooshing noise their planes made when they cut their engines to glide silently over targets sounded like a witchs broomstick. This book tells the incredible true story of young Soviet women, many barely out of their teens, who dropped 23,000 tons of bombs on the invading army.Facing skepticism from their own male comrades and deadly flak from the Germans, they flew up to 18 missions a night, freezing in open cockpits. "The Night Witches" is a story of grit, ingenuity, and the sheer terror of silent warfare in the dark. It explores how these women turned their obsolete equipment into a stealth advantage and carved their names into aviation history.

Most students study by re-reading their notes. Science shows this is the least effective way to learn. The "Generation Effect" states that information is better remembered if it is generated from ones own mind rather than simply read. In other words: You have to create the answer, not just look at it.This guide flips the classroom model. It encourages "active recall" and the creation of new materialwriting summaries, teaching empty chairs, or drawing diagrams from memory. It explains why the struggle to retrieve an answer is the actual moment learning happens, and why easy reading leads to fast forgetting. Stop consuming information and start generating it.

On November 7, 1940, the third-longest suspension bridge in the world began to twist like a ribbon in a mild wind. For hours, "Galloping Gertie" undulated wildly while spectators watched in horror. Then, it tore itself apart and fell into the Puget Sound. The only casualty was a terrified dog named Tubby trapped in a car.This engineering post-mortem explains the phenomenon of aeroelastic flutter (not simple resonance, as often taught). It details the hubris of designers who prioritized slender aesthetics over structural stability and ignored the wind tunnel tests. A definitive guide to why we now build bridges with trusses instead of solid plates, written in the wreckage of bad math.

Ask anyone if they have changed significantly in the last ten years, and they will say "yes, absolutely." Ask them if they expect to change significantly in the next ten years, and they will likely shrug and say "probably not much."This is the "End of History Illusion." We walk around with the unshakable conviction that the person we are right now is the finished productthe final, optimized version of our character. This illusion is the root of our worst decisions. We sign thirty-year mortgages, get tattoos, and choose careers based on the preferences of a person who will cease to exist in a decade."The Finished Product Fallacy" combines behavioral psychology and philosophy to dismantle the myth of the static self. It teaches you how to make decisions for a stranger: your future self. Learn to build flexibility into your life, avoid the trap of over-committing to a rigid identity, and embrace the terrifying but liberating truth that you are not done cooking yet.

In 1915, San Diego was dying of thirst. Desperate city officials hired Charles Hatfield, a sewing machine salesman who claimed he could summon rain using a secret chemical brew aimed at the sky. They offered him $10,000 if he could fill the Morena Reservoir.Hatfield built his towers, burned his chemicals, and waited. And then, the rain started. And it didnt stop. In January 1916, the skies opened up in a deluge of biblical proportions. Dams burst, houses were swept away, and over 20 people died in the flooding. San Diego went from drought to disaster in weeks. When Hatfield came to collect his check, the city tried to sue him for the damages instead."The Rainmaker" tells the bizarre true story of the boundary between science, fraud, and coincidence. Was Hatfield a meteorological genius, a lucky con artist, or simply a man in the wrong place at the right time? It is a tale of desperate municipal politics, the hubris of trying to control nature, and the wildest contract dispute in American history.

For a decade, we have been told that "influence" is a commodity. Teenagers aspire to be YouTubers, brands throw millions at TikTok stars, and the number of followers is the new currency. But every market based on attention eventually corrects."The Influencer Bubble" argues that the golden age of the influencer is ending. Oversaturation, declining trust, and the rise of AI-generated content are creating a perfect storm. Consumers are tired of sponsored lives and curated perfection. The "de-influencing" trend is just the first crack in the dam.This book analyzes the economics of the crash. What happens when engagement drops? What happens when brands realize the ROI isnt there? It offers a roadmap for the post-influencer world, where community, expertise, and genuine connection will replace the hollow metrics of vanity.

Before 1961, many psychologists believed that watching violence drained aggressive impulses (catharsis). Albert Bandura suspected the opposite. He showed children a video of an adult beating up an inflatable "Bobo doll." When the children were later left alone with the doll, they didnt just playthey mimicked the exact violent assaults they had seen, even using guns and hammers.This book details the experiment that founded Social Learning Theory. It argues that we are not born violent, but we learn it through modeling. In an age of TikTok challenges and media violence, Banduras findings are more relevant than ever. We are the mirrors of our environment.

Gear production is undergoing a transformation. As demands for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability continue to rise, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and data-driven control systems are coming into sharper focus. But how far has this transformation progressed and where do conventional approaches still set the benchmark? The 2025 Aachen Forum on Gear Production (AFGP), organized by the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with the Research Association for Drive Technology (FVA), will address these questions with a special focus on the role of digitalization and AI in gear manufacturing. The program covers a broad spectrum: from AI-assisted gear design and visual analytics for tool wear, to digital process chains, multi-body simulations, and hybrid manufacturing strategies. Experts from industry and academia will present current developments, practical applications, and critical assessments of digital solutions in gear production. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience ongoing research firsthand during a guided tour of the WZL laboratories. An evening networking event will provide further space for in-depth technical exchange. AFGP 2025 offers a unique platform to discuss how digital and conventional technologies can complement each other and how gear production can evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

The Republic is one of Platos most influential philosophical works, written in the form of a dialogue led by Socrates.
