Landscapes of Glory and Grief: Representations of the Italian Front and Its Topography in the Art of Stephanie Hollenstein and A
Landscapes of Glory and Grief: Representations of the Italian Front and its Topography in the Art of Stephanie Hollenstein and Albin Egger-Lienz, and the Poetry of Gustav Heinse By Francesca Roe A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of MPhil in the Faculty of Arts, School of Modern Languages (German), August 2014. Supervised by Professor Robert Vilain and Doctor Steffan Davies Student Number: 1346104 25,000 Words 1. Historicist Idealism and Regional Identities: The Outbreak of War in Austria- Hungary In August 1914, the Berlin dramatist and critic Julius Bab and the Prague Germanist Adolf von Hauffen conducted independent analyses of German-language newspapers, magazines and pamphlets, and both concluded that an astonishing 50,000 pro-war poems were published daily in that month alone.1 Although it is difficult to state with certainty whether the researchers included Austro-Hungarian publications in their estimations (it would have been unusual for the conservative von Hauffen to have ignored the material published in his homeland), a brief survey of the poetry produced in the Dual Monarchy2 confirms that its German-speaking population experienced a ‘Kriegsbegeisterung’ just as profound as that of their German counterparts, a vociferous enthusiasm for war that affected individuals from all classes, generations and professions, and led to a remarkable outpouring of propagandist art and literature across the Habsburg Empire. 1 Klaus Zelewitz, ‘Deutschböhmische Dichter und der Erste Weltkrieg’, in Österreich und der Große Krieg 1914-1918.

December 1916: Deadly Wartime Weather
OESCHGER CENTRE CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH Funded by the Framework Programme of the European Union December 1916: Deadly Wartime Weather One of the worst meteorological disasters in history took place in the southeastern Alps during the infamous winter of 1916 / 17. Avalanches following a massive snowfall event killed thousands of soldiers as well as civilians. Novel insight into the event arises from a detailed reconstruction based on weather forecast models and shows the potential of combining numerical techniques with historical documents. This helps to better understand worst-case weather events in the past and future and their societal impacts. A century ago, Europe was in the midst of World War I. On from the Mediterranean brought intense precipitation and a rise the Italian front, the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies faced of snow level, causing countless avalanches across the region each other on some of the harshest battlefields in history – on (see Box 2: Avalanches on the front). The number of human the summits of the southeastern Alps (Box 1: The Italian front). casualties was unprecedented for this kind of natural event. An Here, during a large part of the year, the fighting would cease accurate overall death count is not possible, but estimates of almost completely, as a different war took place: a war against 10 000 by some sources5 are certainly too high.

Soldiers were literally buried by snow and their bodies, exposed by shrinking glaciers, still provide a touching reminder of that absurd carnage. -

Easily one of the best books I will read this year. In order to protect their soldiers from enemy fire and the hostile alpine environment, both Austro-Hungarian and Italian military engineers constructed fighting tunnels which offered a degree of cover and allowed better logistics support. On 31 October, the whole front began to collapse and the Italian Army launched a full scale attack. Best Selling in Nonfiction See all.

Si sa, i libri che ci consigliano i professori diventano all'istante poco interessati, e si sceglie di leggere solo quelli che "tanto l'avrei letto in ogni caso".

The Russian Revolution
The Great War “In Flanders Fields” was written in 1915 by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, a 42-year-old physician in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. His friend Alexis Helmer was killed on May 2, 1915, in the second battle of Ypres, in the Flanders region of Belgium. McCrae himself performed the burial service that same day; noticing how quickly poppies tended to grow around the graves of those killed at Ypres, he was inspired to write the poem. “In Flanders Fields” became one of the most popular verses of its day and was put to a great many wartime uses, like this Canadian victory-bond poster. McCrae became seriously ill in January 1918, and died soon afterward at a military hospital in France. In Flanders Fields From In Flanders Fields and Other Poems (1919), by Lt. Col. John McCrae, MD (1872–1918). In the background is a copy of the poem written in longhand and signed by McCrae.

That could kill a tournament pretty good.” Written and edited by Jacob Reed, Adam Silverman, Sam Bailey, Michael Borecki, Stephen Eltinge, Adam S. Fine, Jason Golfinos, Matt Jackson, Wonyoung Jang, Michael Kearney, Moses Kitakule, Shan Kothari, Chloe Levine, John Marvin, and Derek So, with Joey Goldman and Will Holub-Moorman. Packet 12 Tossups 1. Recent devices made for this procedure include the VolTRAX and the Flongle. PhiX [phi-x] is an internal calibration standard in this procedure, the efficiency of which is measured by the percentage of Q-scores above 30. Data collected by this technique are analyzed by software like Bowtie, CuffLinks, and TopHat. Today, the predominant method for this procedure amplifies bridge helices on a flow cell to form clusters. A method that measures the voltage when the substrate is threaded through a hemolysin [hee-moh-LYE-sin] (*) pore, as in a MinION [MIN-eye-on], is a new high-coverage variant of this technique pioneered by a spinoff from the University of Oxford. Library prep adds Illumina adapters in the most common form of the short-read, next-generation paradigm for this technique. Its “Sanger” variety uses fluorescently labelled d·d·N·T·Ps. For 10 points, name this method of determining the order of bases in a nucleic acid.
