  • Dean of American Bacteriology 123
    Dean of American Bacteriology 123 Chapter Eight Dean of American Bacteriology ternberg completed Malaria and Malarial Diseases just before leaving Fort Mason in April 1884. Laboratory and sentimental belongings were carefully packed, and the rest of the Sternberg household was consigned to the auc- Stioneer. “Crossing the continent was no longer a novelty,” Mrs. Sternberg commented years later, “but we took considerable interest in drawing comparisons between conditions on this trip and on those we had previously made. The railroad had made great strides and…the new dining car service a great improvement on the eating stations of earlier days. Many little towns were springing up near the rail- road, marking the advance of civilization across the plains. The immense herds of wild animals that formerly roamed at will were almost annihilated. Where as…there were in the sixties such great numbers of buffalo that they blocked the railroads, we now saw only small bands. Immense numbers had been slaughtered for their skins alone, or for the tongues, as these were considered a great deli- cacy…. The buffalo, self-supporting on the grass of the unclaimed prairie, deserved a better fate, more especially as the red man drew largely upon him for subsistence.”1 For the next two months, the Sternbergs lived an unsettled life. He reported for duty at Department of the East headquarters, Governors Island, New York, on April 28, and then attended the American Medical Association meeting in Wash- ington in early May. By the middle of the month, he was on unspecified temporary duty in the Surgeon General’s Office, and on June 6 he received permanent assign- ment as attending surgeon and examiner of recruits in Baltimore.

  • Biedermeier Desk in Seattle: the Veit Simon Children, Class and the Transnational in Holocaust History
    EUROPEAN REVIEW OF HISTORY: REVUE EUROPÉENNE D'HISTOIRE, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13507486.2016.1247783 Biedermeier desk in Seattle: the Veit Simon children, class and the transnational in Holocaust history Anna Hájkováa and Maria von der Heydtb aDepartment of History, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK; bTechnical University Berlin, Berlin, Germany ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY This study offers a transnational history of the Holocaust based on Received 28 January 2016 a study of a well-known Berlin Jewish family, the Veit Simons. The Accepted 23 September 2016 authors use this tangled family history as a point of departure for a KEYWORDS transnational history of the Holocaust. In particular, they show how Holocaust; Jewish history; to read the links connecting the protagonists to the wider world as gender; sexuality; class; a means of writing transnational history. Their history also shows transnational history; the interconnectedness of perpetrators and victims. Moreover, German history; women; they demonstrate the importance of the category of class for our agency; mixed marriages understanding of the experience of Holocaust history. While the Veit Simons could hold off some of the persecution, eventually the Holocaust brought them to the ground, resulting in a story of illness, death and loss. Finally, the authors read the story from a feminist angle, offering an examination of the interplay of gender, class and persecution, examining how gender played out in coping while losing one’s former class. How can we write an intimate history of a transnational genocide? Placing the personal horrors meaningfully into the scope of the European genocide is difficult: how to relate each analytical category to another and do them justice? We set out on this mission to advocate for transnational history of the Holocaust.

And yet, information about the person behind the eponyms is difficult to find. Indeed, who is? What is this person's nationality? Is this person alive or dead? How can one find the paper in which this person first described the disease? Eponyms are used to describe not only disease, but also clinical signs, surgical procedures, staining techniques, pharmacological formulations, and even pieces of equipment. In this article we present the symptoms starting with (F). The symptoms and their synonyms, and those who have described this symptom or phenomenon. Streszczenie Eponimy stosowane są niemal codziennie w praktyce w klinicznej dermatologii. A jednak informacja na temat osoby związanej z danym eponimem jest trudna do znalezienia.

  • Wilhelm Spiegelberg a Life in Egyptology
    Wilhelm Spiegelberg a life in Egyptology RICHARD SPIEGELBERG Published 2015 ISBN 978-0-9931305-6-4 Wilhelm Spiegelberg in 1899, aged 29 Contents Foreword 7 Hanover and Strasbourg 15 Thebes 23 A Strasbourg wedding 41 The Strasbourg collection of Egyptian antiquities 49 World War I and its aftermath 51 Heidelberg 61 Munich 69 Epilogue 91 Wilhelm’s legacy as a Demotist 97 Acknowledgements 105 Reading list 109 Addendum & Errata 112 Foreword My quest to find out about the life and achievements of my great uncle, Wilhelm Spiegelberg, began with a chance email from his granddaughter, Lynne Morgan. Lynne informed me she was moving house from the east to the west coast of the United States and was keen to slim down a trunk full of ‘mouldering’ books and documents once belonging to her grandfather. This seemed a good opportunity to begin my project. At this stage, I must declare an interest. My family connection with Wilhelm is twofold—he was the older brother of my grandfather, Georg(e)1 Spiegelberg, and was married to his wife’s (my grandmother’s) older sister, Elisabeth (Lise) von Recklinghausen. Throughout I refer to my great uncle as Wilhelm—intending no disrespect. I am well aware that this would not have been the way he would have been addressed in his native Germany either by a much younger member of his family or by a professional colleague or acquaintance. Nevertheless, it seemed to me that 21st century practice called for a less formal and more familiar form of address. From the start of this project, I have received help and encouragement from numerous sources (apart from Lynne and her brother-in-law, Clarence Butler), notably from the Griffith Institute in Oxford, the Institute of Oriental Studies in Chicago, the Institut d’égyptologie in Strasbourg, the Institut für Ägyptologie in Munich, the Petrie Museum at London’s University College, the Liverpool World Museum, the Egyptian Exploration Society and the British Museum.
