Panzerjager: Tank Hunter

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Averbeck, Bernhard / Folkestad, William B., PUBLISHER: Burd Street Press, Panzerjager: Tank Hunter follows young Bernhard Averbeck as he leaves home to fight on the Eastern and Western Fronts in World War II. The public and specialist alike will recognize that Averbeck's story of frustration and fear, along with the tenacity to survive three years of nonstop combat, are without parallel. Few books have recorded the experiences of the common German soldier on the Eastern Front. No book in English concerns German World War II antitank warfare, and none would compare with this true account of a German soldier fighting with various Panzerjager units between and on the Eastern Front and from to on the Western Front. German antitank units were the bane of Allied tankers. Averbeck supplies the reader with details of Panzerjager training, equipment, Panzerjager battle tactics, and personal observations of humor and sorrow that reveal in great detail one young man's life on the Third Reich's two fronts.

Practical Jean

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cole, Trevor, PUBLISHER: McClelland & Stewart, This eagerly awaited new novel from Trevor Cole combines the humour and sharp observations of contemporary life that he is known for with an irresistibly twisted premise, for fans of the quirkily macabre "Six Feet Under" and "Dexter," and readers of Paul Quarrington, Miriam Toews, Jonathan Franzen, and, of course, Trevor Cole.

Population and Development: A Critical Introduction

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Furedi, Frank, PUBLISHER: St. Martin's Press, Many experts believe that population growth is the greatest threat facing humanity. This concise and provocative book discusses both sides of this debate examining the way the arguments have changed and evolved and questioning the assumptions of the main protagonists. Frank Furedi argues that the Western preoccupation with population growth reveals more about the internal concerns of Western societies than the socio-economic development of the South. Examining a broad range of key debates and controversies -- the population bomb in Asia, the culture of a distinct regime of African fertility, the role of education in stabilizing population growth in Kerala -- he contends that the marginalization of the goal of development is the outcome of a narrow concern with population policies.
