A chilling investigation into the business tycoons who profited off the Nazi regime and how the world aided and abetted them. The crimes of Hitler and the Nazis are well known - from orchestrating the Holocaust to launching the most destructive war in history, their evil deeds shaped the course of the 20th century. Yet some chose to profit off the misery they caused, making themselves extraordinarily wealthy and setting up business dynasties that lasted long after the Nazis themselves were gone. This book examines who these men and women were, how they amassed money by fuelling the Nazi war machine, took control of businesses stolen from Jews and drafted slave labour from Germany s concentration camps. These industrialists spread across Europe and the world and their brands became household names, while never having to account for their dark pasts. Includes: • Porsche, BMW and Mercedes, who used slave labour in their production lines and produced military equipment for the Nazi party • The Swiss banks who stored the Nazi s gold reserves that were plundered from invaded countries • The US investors such as Du Pont and Ford Motors who loaned money to German manufacturers, indirectly bolstering their military capabilities and preparing the country for war.

One of the most impactful and iconic stories ever done by Stan Lee Jack Kirby, Stan Lee called it the World s Greatest Comic Magazine, and he wasn t kidding. If Lee and Jack Kirby set the comics world on fire in 1961 with the debut of the Fantastic Four, in 1965 they burned it down. Letting loose an unmatched burst of rapid-fire creativity, they gave birth to the Frightful Four, the Inhumans, Galactus and the Silver Surfer - and even pulled off the first super hero wedding! The FF faces monster menaces galore, including Dragon Man - and out-of-this-world villains, from the shape-shifting Skrulls to the undersea warlord Attuma. But it s not just the panel-bursting action that makes FANTASTIC FOUR great. It s the drama of a family, united to explore all the wonders of the Marvel Universe side by side!

In the field of supernatural and fantastic literature, certain names come readily to mind â “ E.T.A. Hoffmann, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft â “ but the name of Fitz-James Oâ ™Brien has been unjustly overlooked and nearly forgotten since his premature death in 1862 during the American Civil War.â ˜The Diamond Lensâ ™, Oâ ™Brienâ ™s most famous short story, can be regarded as a forerunner of the science-fiction genre; â ˜What Was It?â ™ is alleged to have served as a model for H.G. Wellsâ ™s The Invisible Man; and The Wondersmithâ ™ is a marvellous tale of Hoffmannesque invention. Taken together, Oâ ™Brienâ ™s few surviving stories give him an important place in the development of American fiction and remain as fresh today as when they first written more than a hundred and fifty years ago.Contents: The Diamond Lens, The Lost Room, What Was It?, The Wondersmith, The Pot of Tulips, The Dragon Fang possessed by the Conjurer Piou-Lou

In the late nineteenth century, humans came at long last to a devastating realisation: their rapidly industrialising and globalising societies were driving scores of animal species to extinction. In Beloved Beasts, acclaimed science journalist Michelle Nijhuis traces the history of the movement to protect and conserve other forms of life. From early battles to save charismatic species such as the American bison and bald eagle to today s global effort to defend life on a larger scale, Nijhuis s spirited and engaging account documents the changes of heart that changed history (Dan Cryer, Boston Globe).With urgency, passion, and wit (Michael Berry, Christian Science Monitor), she describes the vital role of scientists and activists such as Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, reveals the origins of vital organisations like the Audubon Society and the World Wildlife Fund, explores current efforts to protect species such as the whooping crane and the black rhinoceros and confronts the darker side of modern conservation, long shadowed by racism and colonialism. As the destruction of other species continues and the effects of climate change wreak havoc on our world, Beloved Beasts charts the ways conservation is becoming a movement for the protection of all species including our own.
