World War I: An Enthralling Guide from Beginning to End (Military History)
World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it.It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come.
However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand’s assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world’s most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever.
This book will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and it’s short- and long-term consequences. Here are some of the things you will learn about in this book:
- The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscape
- Germany and Italy’s unification
- The state of European power politics
- New technological advancements that shaped the war
- The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI
- Military activities in all theaters of the war
- The influential battles of Verdun, the Somme, Isonzo, and Gallipoli
- Trench warfare and new tactics used in the war
- The entry of the United States and the Russian Revolution
- The final moments of the war
- The Paris Peace Conference and the new world order
- And much, much more!

Hidden Lessons: Growing Up on the Frontline of Teaching
You’re in at 7am, there until 7pm and marking into the late hours. You’ve got one student who’s a full time carer, another who’s pregnant, and a third who’s just joined a gang. You haven’t got enough textbooks to go around, and one of the parents just called you an ‘extremist’. You’ve just gone through a devastating heartbreak and you have to teach Romeo and Juliet to 30 hormonal 14 year olds.
Welcome to life as a teacher.

It’s also a world where you spend all day with some of the most interesting people you know. And even when the lesson plan has been abandoned, you’re still learning.
Mehreen started teaching at 21, and by the time she left 10 years later she’d learnt a bit about teenagers and a lot about life. This is her story.

The Scientific Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Emergence of Modern Science During the Early Modern Period, Including Stories of Thinkers Such as … and René Descartes…
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Scientific Revolution, then keep reading…
Free History BONUS Inside!
Ancient cultures have been looking up at the stars for thousands of years, wondering about their place in the universe. What were those glowing spots in the black cover of night? Just how far away was the moon? These and other questions hounded humanity through the millennia until, finally, relative economic stability allowed for a number of people to examine their world more closely. Slowly, knowledge and understanding accumulated generation by generation until the conditions were ideal enough for a revolution to occur in thinking, experimentation, worldview, and natural philosophy.
It was the Scientific Revolution, the time period when Western theologians had more and better tools to measure and make sense of the things around them. With careful measurements, precise data collection, and an unwavering sense of curiosity, humankind stepped into the future. The truly magnificent feature of this time period, besides, of course, the scientific discoveries themselves, was the kinship between philosophers, scientists, and experimental hobbyists throughout Europe. Hundreds, if not thousands, of letters between great intellectuals such as Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Robert Hooke, and Tycho Brahe have been preserved, demonstrating how these men (and a few women) worked in cooperation with one another in order to better their own research.
In The Scientific Revolution: A Captivating Guide to the Emergence of Modern Science During the Early Modern Period, Including Stories of Thinkers Such as Isaac Newton and René Descartes, you will discover topics such as
- Science: A Definition and Brief Prehistory
- The Early Western Sciences
- Paracelsus
- Nicolaus Copernicus
- Luigi Anguillara
- Andreas Vesalius
- Ignazio Danti
- Tycho and Sophia Brahe
- Paul Wittich
- Sethus Calvisius
- Joseph Goedenhuyze
- Giordano Bruno
- Conrad Gessner
- Johannes Kepler
- Daniel Sennert
- Galileo Galilei
- William Harvey
- René Descartes
- Robert Boyle
- Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
- Isaac Newton
- Robert Hooke
- Maria Sibylla Merian
- Maria Winckelmann-Kirch
- William and Caroline Herschel
