Capture the one person who can defeat the ultimate evil of Nazism! Der Fuhrer has destroyed Otto's and Leni's families, but what if the tables were turned?

Hitler's Angel

Europa, 1941. In Germania Hitler è all’apice del potere . Due ragazzi, Otto e Leni, sono costretti a fuggire in Gran Bretagna: la famiglia di Otto è stata catturata dalle SS perché comunista, quella di Leni perché ebrea. Convocati dall’ammiraglio MacPherson, il braccio destro di Churchill, vengono arruolati in una missione che cambierà per sempre le loro vite: rapire Angelika, una ragazzina rinchiusa in un convento in Baviera, che custodisce un terribile segreto. Dalla sua sopravvivenza potrebbe cambiare il corso della Storia... Avevano ricevuto ordini molto precisi.Ora la coscienza diceva loro di metterli in discussione. Adrenalinico come un thriller, avvincente come una spy story, avventuroso come un action movie, accurato come un romanzo storico, emozionante come solo le grandi storie sanno essere.

This is a comprehensive field guide to Australia's high mountain fauna and environment - an environment that extends for more than five degrees of latitude. Exploring the inter-relationships between snow cover and wildlife, the authors combine ecological details and species accounts. At the heart of the book are detailed descriptions of the mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, fish, insects and other invertebrates, including their distribution, breeding, food and habitats. A completely updated edition of the authorative Wildlife of the Australian Snow Country (first published in 1994), this book extends the fifteen years' extensive fieldwork and research on aspects of the ecology of alpine wildlife by another fifteen years. It updates the reader on the many changes that have occurred in that time: the visible impacts of climate change on animal species and habitats, the decline of high mountain frogs due to the chytrid fungus, and the impacts of high altitude fires in 2003 and 2006. A Field Guide to the Wildlife of the Australian Snow Country is indispensible for the professional and amateur naturalist alike - and anyone interested in the rich natural world of Australia's snow country. In a handy format with PVC cover to protect it from the elements, it is equally at home in a backpack or a reference library.
