Schade, Ph.D. ii Abstract In my dissertation “Atomic Apocalypse – ‘Nuclear Fiction’ in German Literature and Culture,” I investigate the portrayal of the nuclear age and its most dreaded fantasy, the nuclear apocalypse, in German fictionalizations and cultural writings. My selection contains texts of disparate natures and provenance: about fifty plays, novels, audio plays, treatises, narratives, films from 1946 to 2009. I regard these texts as a genre of their own and attempt a description of the various elements that tie them together. The fascination with the end of the world that high and popular culture have developed after 9/11 partially originated from the tradition of nuclear fiction since 1945. The Cold War has produced strong and lasting apocalyptic images in German culture that reject the traditional biblical apocalypse and that draw up a new worldview. In particular, German nuclear fiction sees the atomic apocalypse as another step towards the technical facilitation of genocide, preceded by the Jewish Holocaust with its gas chambers and ovens.

AVAILABLE FROM Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 ($6.50). EDRS PRICE MF02/PC20 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *History: military Personnel: *Military Science: *Military Training: Study Guides ABSTRACT This study guide On military history is intended for use with the young officer just entering upon a military career. There are four major sections to the guide. Part one discusses the scope and value of military history, presents a perspective on military history; and examines essentials of a study program. The study of military history has both an educational and a utilitarian value. It allows soldiers to look upon war as a whole and relate its activities to the periods of peace from which it rises and to which it returns. Military history also helps in developing a professional frame of mind and, in the leadership arena, it shows the great importance of character and integrity. In talking about a study program, the guide says that reading biographies of leading soldiers or statesmen is a good way to begin the study of military history. The best way to keep a study program current is to consult some of the many scholarly historical periodicals such as the "American Historical Review" or the "Journal of Modern History." Part two, which comprises almost half the guide, contains a bibliographical essay on military history, including great military historians and philosophers, world military history, and U.S.

  • C*-Algebras of Transformation Groups with Smooth Orbit Space
    Pacific Journal of Mathematics C∗-ALGEBRAS OF TRANSFORMATION GROUPS WITH SMOOTH ORBIT SPACE PHILIP PALMER GREEN Vol. 72, No. 1 January 1977 PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol. 72, No. 1, 1977 C*-ALGEBRAS OF TRANSFORMATION GROUPS WITH SMOOTH ORBIT SPACE PHILIP GREEN We investigate the structure of certain locally compact Hausdorff transformation groups (G, X) and the C*-algebras C*(G,X) associated to them. When G and X are second countable and the action is free, we obtain a simple necessary and sufficient condition for C*{G, X) to be a continuous trace algebra, and show that the continuous trace algebras so arising are never " twisted" over their spectra. When G is separable compactly generated Abelian and X contains a totally disconnected set of fixed points whose complement, Z, is a trivial G-principal fiber bundle over its orbit space ZIG, with Z/G compact, C*(G, X) can be described completely using the Brown-Douglas-Fillmore theory of extensions of the compact operators on a separable Hubert space by a commutative algebra. These results yield as special cases the structure of the C*-algebras for several infinite families of solvable locally compact groups. In greater detail the contents of the paper are as follows: In § 1 we discuss, after some preliminary lemmas, C*(G9 X) for X having a dense free orbit with complement a finite set of fixed points. (The possible structure of such transformation groups is closely related to the "end theory" of G.) Complete results are obtained when G is separable compactly generated abelian. As an application we compute the group C* -algebras of the "α# + 6" groups over all nondiscrete locally compact fields.
