Never were there seven more honest-seeming witnesses; never was there a more undeniable fact than the inversion of Gottfried Plattners anatomical structure, andnever was there a more preposterous story than the one they have to tell! The most preposterous part of the story is the worthy Gottfrieds contribution (for I count him as one of the seven).

  • 4. Wargaming the Middle East: the Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities
    4. Wargaming the Middle East: The Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities Janina Schupp Abstract Shortly after the end of a tank combat during the Gulf War, a team of US Army historians, scientists, and engineers flew to Iraq to gather detailed data of the battle. The collected information was used to create an exact virtual simulation of the combat for training. The mapping capability – offered by the resulting simulation game 73 Easting – to visualize the battlefield from any position and point in time revolutionized military exercises. With ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, these digital training cartographies are now linked to real bodies and vehicles through digital and mobile technologies during live training in artificially constructed villages. This chapter analyses this evolution and critically investigates the growing ‘gamification’ ensuing in these representations of Middle Eastern battlefields. Keywords: Wargames, Middle East, interactive battlespace, live simulations In war the experienced soldier reacts in the same way as the human eye does in the dark: the pupil expands to admit what little light there is, discerning objects by degrees, and finally seeing them indistinctly. By contrast, the novice is plunged into the deepest night. […] It is immensely important that no soldier, whatever his rank, should wait for war to expose him to those aspects of active service that amaze and confuse him when he first comes across them.

  • From World Brain to the World Wide Web Transcript
    From World Brain to the World Wide Web Transcript Date: Thursday, 9 November 2006 - 12:00AM FROM THE WORLD BRAIN TO THE WORLDWIDE WEB Martin Campbell-Kelly, Warwick University Annual Gresham College BSHM Lecture Introduction There are quite a number of published histories of the Internet and the World Wide Web. Typically these histories portray the Internet as a revolutionary development of the late 20th century—perhaps with distant roots that date back to the early 1960s. In one sense this is an apt characterization. The Internet is absolutely a creation of the computer age. But we should not think of the Internet just as a revolutionary development. It is also an evolutionary development in the dissemination of information. In that sense the Internet is simply the latest chapter of a history that can be traced back to the Library of Alexandria or the printing press of William Caxton. In this lecture I will not be going back to the Library of Alexandria or the printing press of William Caxton. Instead I will focus on the contributions of three individuals who envisioned something very like the Internet and the World Wide Web, long before the Internet became a technical possibility. These three individuals each set an agenda. They put forward a vision of what the dissemination of information might become, when the world had developed the technology and was willing to pay for it. Since the World Wide Web became established in 1991 thousands of inventers and entrepreneurs have changed the way in which many of us conduct our daily lives.

  • The Art of Fiction and the Art of War: Henry James, H. G. Wells, and Ford Madox Ford

Wells, and Ford Madox Ford JOSEPH WIESENFARTI-1 The house of fiction has . a number of possible windaws. At each of them stands a figure ... with a field-glass, which [insures] to the person making use of it an impression distinct from every other. -Henry James Almost a year after the war broke out between the Allied Forces and the Central Powers in August 1914, a battle was fought between Henry James and H. G. Wells on the literary front. These two instances of hostility, although vastly different in their significance, are nevertheless not unrelated. France, for instance, was the object of attack in both the military and literary campaigns. For Kaiser Wilhelm II, France was the cultural capital of Europe which, in its pride, looked down upon Germany; for H. G.

    Journal of humanities and Social Sciences Issue (8), Volume (2) November 2018 ISSN: 2522-3380 SCIENCE FICTION IN THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU AND THE TIME MACHINE Meryana Emad Abdulmon`em English Department Higher Institute for Languages || Mansoura Abstract: The present research paper is about two different novels, which are the Island of Doctor Moreau and the Time Machine, which are written by H.G.Wells; who is one of the most prominent writers in the 20th century. The main objective of this research paper is to explore the theme of science fiction and reveal the role of literature to express the power of science fiction, as the human beings can create and innovate, because they cannot do so if they are prisoners of their limited reality. As all people in the 20th century concentrate on scientific theories and struggles between classes, H.G.Wells reflects these two ideas according to his point of view in his works; the Time Machine and the Island of Doctor Moreau, using the power of science fiction to imagine other worlds that are not available in concentrate reality, predicting how the life will be and how to live within for the outside world past and future.
