Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In the laboratories and barracks of the Third Reich, medicine became a weapon. The Anatomy of Cruelty reconstructs the system of Nazi human experimentation - a network of doctors, institutes, and camps that turned scientific ambition into organised destruction.Paul?Davies traces the evolution of the 'Medical Reich,' from its ideological origins in racial hygiene to its transformation of concentration camps into laboratories of coercion. Each chapter exposes a different facet of the machinery: freezing and hypothermia trials at Dachau, high-altitude decompression experiments, deliberate infection with typhus and malaria, surgical mutilations at Ravensbrück, sterilisation and poison tests, and the creation of the Jewish Skeleton Collection for anatomical study.The book follows the physicians who directed and performed these experiments - Karl?Brandt, Sigmund?Rascher, Josef?Mengele, Fritz?Fischer, Herta?Oberheuser, and dozens more - revealing how professional authority and bureaucratic obedience fused into a system of destruction. Their careers form a chilling map of complicity: from the sterilisation courts of the 1930s to the killing blocks of Auschwitz and Dachau, from the Reich's medical institutes to the post-war trials and silences that followed.Paul Davies examines how the boundaries of life and death were erased in 'terminal experiments,' how the pursuit of data justified murder, and how the collapse of the Medical Reich left behind both ruins and records - fragments of science built on suffering. The final chapters confront the aftermath: the Doctors' Trial at Nuremberg, the rehabilitation of perpetrators, and the enduring silence that allowed many to resume their careers.Written with historical precision and cinematic clarity, The Anatomy of Cruelty is not only a study of Nazi medical crimes but a warning about the fragility of ethics when ideology and science converge. It stands as a companion to The Doctors of Death, completing a two-volume examination of medicine's darkest hour.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Between 1933 and 1945, in the heart of what called itself the most civilized continent on earth, the German state and its collaborators set out to erase the Jewish people from the face of Europe. By the time it was over, some six million Jewish men, women, and children had been murdered - shot at the edge of pits, starved behind ghetto walls, worked to death, or killed in the gas chambers of camps built for no other purpose. Millions of others - Roma, the disabled, Soviet prisoners, and the persecuted - were destroyed alongside them.This is the whole story in a single volume: the long history of hatred that made it thinkable; the Nazi rise to power and the step-by-step stripping of a people's rights, property, and safety; the ghettos and the mobile killing squads; the Wannsee Conference and the machinery of the 'Final Solution'; the death camps of occupied Poland; the genocide as it unfolded country by country across Europe; and the courage of those who resisted and those who rescued.Clear-eyed, deeply humane, and honest about what we know and what remains disputed, this is an unforgettable account of how the unthinkable was made real - and of why, four generations on, we are still bound to remember.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - London, 1920. A newspaper columnist meets a woman twice - a bakery, a queue, the smell of flour, two pennies pushed back across the counter. Nothing is spoken. Nothing is promised. Then she is dead, and the small ordinary warmth of her becomes the one thing he cannot put down.Unable to write a word, he takes a room at Mereward - a beautiful, failing house in the west country that has, for generations, taken in writers. By day its lawns run green to a still lake. He begins, at last, to write her: the wrist, the turned tooth, the way she could not abide a crooked sum. The words come easily. They come too easily.Then the pages begin to appear that he does not remember writing. Pages in a hand almost his own. Pages that know things he never knew - and that are not trying to tell her story. They are trying to make one.For at Mereward the unfinished do not rest. Abandoned letters, interrupted lives, half-written books - they gather in certain places, hungry, waiting for a hand to complete them. And the more beautiful the woman on the page becomes, the less she resembles anyone who ever lived; the more he loves her, the more of himself she takes; and the closer he comes to the ending, the more terrible the question grows of who, in this house, has been the author all along - and who the material.A love story that is also a haunting; a haunting that is also a confession. MEREWARD asks what we steal from the people we turn into stories - and refuses, to the last page, to tell us whether what waits in the ground is a curse, or a mercy.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A Body That Remembered is a deeply personal memoir about the unseen impact of untreated complex trauma and the ways survival can shape the body, mind, and nervous system.This is the story of one person's experience living with complex PTSD, where years of unprocessed trauma and prolonged survival responses eventually led to adrenal gland dysfunction and a body pushed beyond its limits. Through exhaustion, confusion, fear, and the search for answers, this book follows the journey of learning to understand what the body was communicating, reconnecting with oneself, and beginning the path toward healing.More than a memoir, each chapter ends with a thoughtful self-reflection, inviting readers to pause, explore their own experiences, and consider how their past may have shaped the way they think, feel, and respond today.A story of survival, resilience, faith, and transformation, A Body That Remembered is a reminder that healing begins with understanding-and that even after years spent surviving, there is hope for restoration.A Body That Remembered is Volume 1 of Body Echoes The Saga.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - My name is Tomiris. I am simple mortal girl from the steppes with a simple mortal goal: save my grandfather.How The only beings powerful enough to help him are the Oracles of the Frost Court - and they don't exactly take appointments from girls raised chasing wind.There are two ways to get to them. Either become Prince Varelion's fated mate -Ha. Right. I dismiss the idea in the time it takes to look at him on his ice throne, wings folded against his back, his gaze cold and unreadable, and calculate the odds.One in a million.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - THE CALAMITY HOUSEI came downstairs that morning expecting coffee. Instead I found my mother-in-law standing over the housekeeper, demanding she empty her pockets.Seven pieces of silver were missing from a locked cabinet. Three keys existed. And Cressida Fontaine had already decided who was guilty.But I'd seen things in this house that didn't add up. A key that had been copied. Items missing from rooms the housekeeper never entered. A receipt in a jacket pocket that belonged to someone nobody wanted to suspect.The deeper I looked, the more the Fontaine name came apart in my hands. And the people willing to help me were the people who had the most to lose if I failed.My mother-in-law gave me a choice: protect the family or protect the truth. She didn't tell me I couldn't do both.She didn't need to. I already knew.…
