Signs of the Past - A Pictorial History of Lauderdale & Colbert Counties, Al (9781934610596)



Our two Alabama counties, Colbert & Lauderdale, are blessed with a rich history, some of which is preserved in historical markers placed throughout each county. These markers introduce names, places, and events which shaped each county's spirit. It is my wish that this photographic journey will encourage you to visit these locations and that you be further amazed at your heritage.

Panther Tank Enthusiasts' Manual : Panzerkampfwagen V Panther (SdKfz 171) (9781785212147)

Regarded by many as one of the greatest tanks ever built, the German Panther is probably the finest medium tank of the Second World War. Some 7,000 were made, combining firepower, armour protection and mobility that was unmatched by any other tank of the period. On the Eastern Front it was the primary nemesis of the Russian T-34 tank in the last two years of the war. Ironically, the Panther's genesis lay in the need for the Germans to come up with a new tank design after the T-34 had rendered the Panzer III obsolete almost overnight after Operation Barbarossa in June 1941. The Panther made its combat debut in Russia at the Battle of Kursk in July 1943 and all major German tank development after this point was influenced by the design features of the T-34.

That edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe. But the intervening years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic worlds. These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the universe's beginning and revealed wrinkles in the fabric of space-time that he had projected. Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these observations, as well as his own recent research, Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, writ...
