Yet they also open up large and revealing issues for professional historians, shedding light on how societies conceptualize and understand their pasts.1 This article explores the way that British public discourse has grappled with the First and Second World Wars. At the heart of the British problem with these two defining conflicts of the twentieth century is an inability to construct a positive, teleological metanarrative of their overall ‘meaning’. By exploring this theme through historiography and memorialization, it is possible not merely to illuminate Britain’s self-understanding of its twentieth-century history, but also to shed light on the country’s contorted relationship with ‘Europe’, evident in party politics and public debate right down to the ‘Brexit’ referendum of 2016. The concept of mastering the past ( Vergangenheitsbewältigung ) originated in post-1945 West Germany as that country tried to address the horrendous legacies of Nazism.

  • Geology Recommended Reading List for Elementary, Middle School, and High School Teachers
    National Park Service White Sands Department of the Interior White Sands National Monument Geology Recommended reading list for elementary, middle school, and high school teachers. These books are great resources in the classroom for teachers and would be an interesting read for students as well. 1. TITLE: Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau AUTHOR: Ron Blakey and Wayne Ranney The Colorado Plateau is one of the world’s greatest showplaces of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock. The Plateau’s rocky landscapes are home to the greatest concentration of National Parks and Monuments in the world. This book highlights the Plateau’s magnificent present through unique views of its fascinating past. It is a ground-breaking book featuring the geology of the American Southwest in a way you’ve never seen it before. 2. TITLE: Basin and Range AUTHOR: John McPhee This is a book of journeys through ancient terrains, enhanced by the histories of people who bring them to light. The title refers to the physiographic province of the United States that stretches from eastern Utah to eastern California, a silent world of austere beauty. These hundreds of discrete high mountain ranges are green with junipers and often white with snow, a spectacular topography that is never appreciated by people who dismiss it as “desert.” 3. TITLE: The Field Guide to Geology AUTHORS: David Lambert and The Diagram Group This newest edition recounts the fascinating story of the Earth in a vivid and engaging fashion. Written by a team of eminent geologists and educators, this field guide is a concise, comprehensive overview of the processes that forged the planet and the technologies that have revolutionized the way that scientists investigate Earth’s systems.

Hamilton, Department of Geophysics, Colorado School of Mines A century of geologic research constrains Cenozoic evolution of regional topography. The high Late Cretaceous-early Paleogene continental divide passed near tracts now in central Nevada (the Basin-Range province has since doubled in width, and lowered), and lithostatic head drove thin-skinned Sevier foreland thrusting. The east foot of the thrust belt was near sea level almost to the end of Cretaceous time and likely was little above it when thrusting ceased. The continental divide lay south of since-raised Colorado Plateau in Arizona, which lacked a thrustable stratal wedge. Structural relief of the central and southern Rocky Mountains mostly dates from latest Cretaceous and early Paleogene Laramide crustal shortening, but basins remained low, accumulating sediment, until late Cenozoic regional uplift resulted in the sluicing of basins and incision of the Plateau and mountains.
