Publisher's Summary:

Learn about the D-Day Invasion with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.The story behind D-Day begins in 1939 when Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, attacked Poland and ignited World War Two. The following year, the Germans occupied France and Western Europe and launched a vicious air war against Britain. In 1941, they invaded the Soviet Union. Seemingly unstoppable, the Nazis now held virtually all of Europe. They imposed a ruthless system of control and unleashed the horror of the Holocaust.

However, by 1943, the tide had begun to turn in favor of the Allies, the forces opposed to Germany. In the east, despite huge losses, the Soviets began to force the Germans back. Further south, British and Commonwealth troops drove the Germans out of North Africa, and together with the Americans (who joined the Allies in 1941) they invaded Italy, Germanys ally. However, if Europe was to be liberated, there was an urgent need to open another front and attack Germany from the west. That meant the Allies had to cross the English Channel and invade through occupied France.

Members Reviews:

Highly disappointing

This wasn't worth my time. Nothing here to read or learn from or about. I bought this book expecting to read some juicy tidbits of information about murders or thefts or SOMETHING, but there was nothing of the sort. This book was a waste of time AND money.

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 09-11-09

Publisher: iMinds

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Learn about the invention of The Internet with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The story of the Internet begins in the early 1960s, when Russia launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial earth satellite. Afraid of the technological potential of the Russians, the United States Department of Defense formed the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), in order to develop US science and technology, and in particular its application in the military.

In order to share information between different US military and research institutions, a network was established between different computers. A government agency called RAND developed the idea of a decentralized network - so if one location was attacked, the others would still be able to connect to each other. This network, known as ARPANET, was built by a company called BBN. The first email program was created by BNN in 1972.

Editorial Reviews:

Those claims about Al Gore inventing the Internet can be laid to rest. iMinds traces the origins of the Internet all the way back to the 1960s, when the United States government, reacting to Russia's launch of Sputnik 1, formed the Advanced Research Projects Agency to advance American science and technology. Soon, a network between different computers was established, enabling governmental institutions to share information quickly and easily. With striking clarity that condenses the complicated history of the Internet into an understandable narrative, Luca James Lee demonstrates the evolution of a strictly government network to the Internet we know today.

Title: Rasing the Flag On Iwo Jima

Author: Joe Rosenthal, John Faber

Narrator: John Faber

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-31-08

Publisher: Wizard Academy Press

Genres: History, 20th Century

Publisher's Summary:

Miraculously, the flat, round metal can contained an extremely fragile, reel-to-reel tape labeled, 'Iwo Jima Flag Raising - Joe Rosenthal interviewed by John Faber on 3-24-57 in Washington, DC.' You can imagine my excitement when my Audio Production Manager came back to me with a digitally remastered CD of the original recording that nobody had heard since the day it was recorded nearly half a century ago.

The Battle of Iwo Jima raged for 36 days, yet Joe Rosenthal managed to capture it perfectly in a single moment of accidental magic. The Wizard's curiosity about that magical moment led to him finding a magical time capsule on his desktop. And because you share that same curiosity, he is delighted to share the "accidental magic" with you.

Psychedelic Haze...Bad Trip

The 60's was the generation with it all. I wanted to really enjoy a nostalgic trip through the decade. Alas It was a bad trip.

It was like a psychedelic drug induced haze where you have a moment of clarity. Or like Laugh In dances before everything stops for the joke. It was a laundry list of events with a few comments.

The things you would have thought would get top billing were brushed to the side. The decade was chocked full of events so there was no shortage of material. But it lacked integrity and clarity.

Maybe it is a trip best taken with mind altering drugs. Hey rose colored glasses wouldn't help this book.

Save your money. Don't buy this book or any of the other decade books by the same author. It is a bad trip better off avoided. Peace!
