Bitwa narodów II wojny światowej. Klasztor na Monte Cassino stał się wielkim symbolem ludzkiego poświęcenia i niemal niewyobrażalnego cierpienia. Monte Cassino było zapewne najdoskonalszą pozycją obronną w Europie. Szczególnie umocniony przez Niemców rejon był częścią linii Gustawa blokującej aliantom drogę do Rzymu na początku 1944 roku. Z powodu skalistego, usianego urwiskami terenu działania bojowe prowadziła tam głównie piechota wspierana ostrzałami artyleryjskimi. Kiedy przywódcy aliantów spierali się o strategię, zwykli żołnierze z blisko dwudziestu krajów walczyli w straszliwych warunkach. Sześciomiesięczne walki przerodziły się w rzeź przywołującą na myśl najgorsze epizody pierwszej wojny światowej w której ćwierć miliona ludzi zostało zabitych lub rannych. Opierając się na bezpośrednich relacjach weteranów z całego świata, Matthew Parker odtworzył tę spektakularną bitwę i doświadczenia niezwykle odważnych ludzi, którzy w niej walczyli. W Polsce zdobycie Monte Cassino pozostaje symbolem odwagi, poświęcenia i bohaterstwa żołnierzy 2. Korpusu Polskiego generała Andersa walczących o wyzwolenie Europy i powrót do wolnej ojczyzny. Monte Cassino było małą wojną podczas drugiej wojny światowej. [] Matthew Parker łączy skrupulatne badania archiwalne z wywiadami z setkami weteranów, aby przedstawić nam wyczerpującą relację z tego potwornego konfliktu. - James Bradley, autor Sztandaru chwały.

H. Rider Haggard
Not everyone can cope with revenge. The story of a man who allows revenge to devour his life, so he misses all the blessings that God gives him on his way. It is surprising how well the plot is built and how the author managed to ensure that the story does not lose its relevance over time. Readers will plunge into the stunning world of adventure and fiction by Rider Haggard!

Nie każdy potwór czai się w ciemnościach. Niektóre uśmiechając się, mijają cię na ulicy. W 1995 roku był nikim. Cieniem, wyrzutkiem, którego nikt nie zauważał. Ale tamtego wieczoru postanowił stać się kimś innym - bogiem. Zabił. Poczuł smak śmierci i cierpienia. I wtedy wszystko się zaczęło. Trzydzieści lat później Białystok znów drży. Przypadkowy świadek odkrywa ciało kobiety. Brutalne ślady napaści budzą najgorsze skojarzenia. Aspirant Ireneusz Suszyński, niespodziewanie przeniesiony do komendy wojewódzkiej, zostaje rzucony w wir śledztwa. Towarzyszy mu komisarz Milena Kosińską-Wrońską - ostra, zmęczona systemem, ale wciąż bezkompromisowa. Im więcej zadają pytań, tym głębiej grzęzną. Zmowa milczenia, układy z przeszłości, niewygodne nazwiska. Czy uda im się przebić mur kłamstw, które cementowały miasto przez dekady? Dokąd doprowadzi ich dochodzenie? Jaką cenę zapłacą za prawdę? "Monument" to mroczny thriller psychologiczny o winie i bezkarności. O tych, którzy krzywdzą, i tych, którzy milczą. O potworach, które nie rodzą się w ciemnościach, lecz w świetle dnia. Tuż obok nas.

Educators use the Moodle web application to create effective online learning sites. Creating such learning environments that suit Design and Technology subjects requires understanding and implementation of both basic and advanced Moodle features.This book takes a detailed look at Moodle features with examples of how to fully support the Design and Technology curricula using Moodle. It will guide you to incorporate specific modules and blocks to enhance learning as well as allow detailed tracking of performance by using formative and summative assessment tools with ease.We start with setting up a very basic Moodle course for Design and Technology, and then set up some basic resources and some interactive material. You will customize your own courses and create a course for each of the key areas of the DT subjects and add material to them. We will create some basic reporting and assessment tools and enhance the look of the course. We will use Moodle's detailed and sophisticated gradebook to assess your student s ' learning progress in activities from an assignment to an offline activity. Then we will support students in designing a product or trying a new recipe in food technology in market research to find out exactly what the public wants in relation to their product, by designing a questionnaire. We will allow product design or resistant material students use the HTML features of the questionnaire module to incorporate images into the questions to make it clearer to respondents what it is they are trying to make and sell.We will allow students in construction to gather and organize their research material in a great deal of detail and also allow them to better understand their target market and the materials used in their construction through detailed questioning. We will allow food technology students to discuss and receive constructive feedback on food products that contribute to health issues that will enable them to make informed decisions and therefore better quality products. Then we explore several components within Moodle's core functionality and some third-party sources to display the progress of the student's work and development. We then have an overview of the different design portfolios available. Finally we look at additional ways to enhance the teaching and learning of D ' T with Moodle using third-party modules and add-ons.
