Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - World War II ended in 1945. Its machinery of power did not.In The War That Never Ended, Dr. Alden Cross follows the hidden strategic systems that carried the world from blitzkrieg and codebreaking to occupation, containment, proxy war, and nuclear deterrence. Drawing on declassified reports, operational plans, diplomatic records, bombing surveys, and postwar studies, this book examines what governments believed, what they misunderstood, and why some victories created greater dangers than the conflicts they ended.From the fall of France and Operation Barbarossa to the Berlin Airlift, Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cross tests familiar claims against the documentary record. The result is a clear, unsentimental account of how fuel, shipping, intelligence, industry, alliances, and human judgment shaped half a century of war.For readers who want evidence rather than legend, this book reveals the decisions behind the battles-and the strategic inheritance that still governs global power. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Some clocks tick forward. This one remembers backward.Fourteen-year-old Eli Grant doesn't believe in haunted heirlooms or secret auctions selling memory-bound relics. He's just trying to survive another shift at his family's struggling auction house without disappointing his older sister, Ivy, or provoking their formidable grandfather, Henry Grant-a legendary auctioneer who's been more shadow than man since Eli's mother vanished years ago.But when Lot 27-a strange children's clock with a drooping hand and a faint Spiral carved into its base-gets sold to a bidder who doesn't blink, something inside Eli begins to fracture. His sketches start changing on their own. Time hiccups. Memories twitch. And the spirals that keep appearing in his drawings don't feel like symbols. They feel like echoes.Then he finds the invitation.Hidden in his sketchbook, printed in black Spiral ink, the card is unmarked. Undeniable. And it pulls him into a world he was never meant to see: the Shadow Auction, an underground market where relics infused with memory and emotion are traded between masked collectors, Spiralbound operatives, and forbidden factions with names like Vaultborn and Society.In the middle of it all is Seraphine, a too-charming, too-calm relic hunter who knows far too much about Eli's family-and seems determined to win the very clock he can't stop sketching.As Eli follows the Spiral deeper into forgotten vaults, back-room bids, and relics that seem to recognize him, he uncovers more than just a family secret.He discovers the Spiral is alive.It hums beneath the skin of old clocks.It warps time around certain objects.And it remembers people. Especially the ones who try to forget.Now hunted by masked collectors, haunted by visions of a woman he can't remember, and pulled between truth and time, Eli must decide who to trust-and whether to follow the Spiral deeper or run before it winds him too tight to escape.But the Spiral doesn't choose you because you're ready.It chooses you because you're fractured.THE CLOCK THAT TICK-TOCKED is Book One in the Shadow Auction Series, a cinematic, fast-paced, emotionally rich YA fantasy-thriller saga filled with forbidden relics, fractured timelines, identity twists, and supernatural secrets waiting to surface.Perfect for fans of Stranger Things, The Maze Runner, The Night Circus, and Lockwood & Co., this is a darkly magical, memory-driven adventure where every object holds a story-and some stories won't stay buried.? Follow Eli Grant into a world where clocks don't tell time-they rewrite it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Most of us were never taught how our own minds actually work. This book changes that.You make hundreds of decisions every week - about money, relationships, work, and the direction of your life. Most of them happen on autopilot, shaped by mental shortcuts, hidden biases, and inherited stories you've never actually examined. The cost rarely shows up immediately. It shows up later, as regret, as a relationship that quietly drifted, as a career you can't quite remember choosing.Think Deeper, Live Better by Alden Cross is a practical, evidence-based guide to thinking more clearly in a world built to make that difficult. Drawing on psychology, behavioral science, and real, relatable stories, this book gives you the tools to: - Catch the hidden mental traps - confirmation bias, overconfidence, groupthink - before they shape a decision you'll regret- Protect your attention and spot manipulation in a world of distraction, misinformation, and AI-generated content- Build genuine self-awareness using tools that work better than introspection alone- Make wiser decisions using frameworks that go beyond simple pros-and-cons lists- Solve problems at the root cause instead of endlessly patching symptoms- Understand the people closest to you instead of guessing at their inner world- Clarify your purpose and write your own guiding principles for the decisions that matter mostUnlike books that stop at theory, Think Deeper, Live Better closes with a 30-Day Deep Thinking Practice - a structured toolkit that turns every chapter into a daily habit, so the insights don't fade the way good intentions usually do.Whether you're a professional facing high-stakes decisions, a leader navigating a team, or simply someone who wants to stop reacting and start choosing - this book gives you a clearer mind and a more deliberate life.Stop thinking on autopilot. Start thinking deeper.…
