How to Borrow North East Multi-Regional Training In-Service Training Tapes How to Borrow Tapes: Call, write, or Fax NEMRT's librarian (that's Sarah Cole). Calling is probably the most effective way to contact her, because you can get immediate feedback on what tapes are available. In order to insure that borrowers are authorized through their law enforcement agency to borrow videos, please submit the initial lending request on agency letterhead (not a fax cover sheet or internal memo form). Also provide the name of the department’s training officer. If a requested tape is in the library at the time of the request, it will be sent to the borrower’s agency immediately. If the tape is not in, the borrower's name will be put on the tape's waiting list, and it will be sent as soon as possible. The due date--the date by which the tape must be back at NEMRT--is indicated on the loan receipt included with each loan. Since a lot of the tapes have long waiting lists, prompt return is appreciated not only by the Instructors' Library, but the other departments using the video collection. -

'The Sights Are Worse Than the Journeys': Travel Writing at the Mid
1 ‘The Sights Are Worse Than The Journeys’: Travel Writing At The Mid-Century Petra Rau The mid-century is a pale spot on the critical map of travel writing. This is largely the fault of Evelyn Waugh, who in 1945 predicted a long hiatus in the genre: ‘There is no room for tourists in a world of “displaced persons”[:] the very young, perhaps, may set out like the Wandervogels of the Weimar period; lean, lawless, aimless couples with rucksacks, joining the great army of men and women without papers, without official existence, the refugees and deserters, who drift everywhere today between the barbed wire’.1 Unfortunately literary criticism has taken this statement at face value, attending either to the abundant travel corpus of the prewar years or the postmodern versions of the genre, as if there had been literally nowhere to go and nothing to write home about in the mid-century years. Far from it. These decades are bookended by two substantial classics — Rebecca West’s Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1941) and Wilfred Thesiger’s Arabian Sands (1959) — and peppered with international bestsellers in-between. Yet there is much to ponder in Waugh’s statement: the myth of freedom that travel fosters; the ironic rejection of the tourist-traveller distinction; the modernist horror of the crowd; the traveller’s need for a home; the impact of war on the purpose and circumstances of travel; above all, his sense of nostalgia. Aimlessness had been part of the romance of travel and the declared habitus of a whole generation of dissolute young men and women trying to escape the boundaries of predictable bourgeois lives back home, as Paul Fussell argued in Abroad.2 In a world in which millions of homeless were ‘drifting’ as a result of political vicissitudes, voluntary wandering seemed rather inappropriate. -
“Il Grande Dandy” Il Nuovo Libro Di Marcello Sorgi Un Personaggio Simbolico Di Un'epoca
“Il grande dandy” il nuovo libro di Marcello Sorgi Un personaggio simbolico di un’epoca Relazione di Costanza Falvo D’Urso Mercoledì 15 febbraio 2012 Abbiamo ascoltato dalla voce accorata di Domenico Modugno “Vecchio Frac”, una musica accattivante, raffinata e quasi ipnotica, che sicuramente ci ha accompagnato durante gli anni della nostra giovinezza. Ma ci siamo mai chiesti a chi o a quale storia si fosse ispirato Domenico Modugno?. Ci siamo mai chiesti chi fosse quel tristissimo uomo in frac che trasognato e malinconico si aggirava per le strade notturne della città?. Dopo oltre mezzo secolo il nome dell’uomo in frac ci viene rivelato da Marcello Sorgi nel suo romanzo dal titolo “IL grande dandy”, un libro che mi è piaciuto tanto, sicché l’ho letto in poche ore, divorandolo e facendomi catturare dalla narrazione di una vita straordinaria e avventurosa che si è sviluppata tra mondanità e storia. Quell’uomo in frac è Raimondo Lanza di Trabia, ultimo e leggendario principe siciliano, discendente da Federico Barbarossa e da Federico II di Svevia. Una figura che, se la storia ufficiale ha emarginato non riuscendo ad inserirla negli schemi rituali, nei formalismi tradizionali della classe sociale d’appartenenza, resta comunque molto interessante anche sotto il profilo umano, e appartiene, secondo me, forse più all’Ottocento che non al Novecento, considerando la sua fine improvvisa come un rifiuto inconsapevole del nuovo secolo. Secolo che segnerà, con gli eventi bellici iniziati da quelli per l’Unità d’Italia e terminati con il periodo fascista, la fine dell’aristocrazia europea, di quella italiana e di quella siciliana che fino all’ultimo ha cercato di sopravvivere, pur contagiata da una spiccata propensione al gioco, alle scommesse e ai vizi e da commistioni impensabili con mafia e malavita. -

Domani, ad Alassio, alle ore 21, nei Giardini del Palazzo del Comune, si svolgerà l’incontro con l’autore Marcello Sorgi, promosso dal Comune di Alassio. Sorgi, intervistato dal caporedattore de “La Stampa” Sandro Chiaromonti, presenterà il libro “Il grande dandy. Vita spericolata di Raimondo Lanza di Trabia, ultimo principe siciliano” (Rizzoli, 2011). “Inauguriamo l’estate culturale alassina – dice la Consigliera Delegata alla Cultura, Chicca Ienca – con un ospite di primo piano. Il giornalista e scrittore Marcello Sorgi, già direttore del Tg1, del Giornale Radio Rai e de La Stampa, ha accolto il nostro invito a presentare il suo ultimo libro ad Alassio. La serata letteraria anticipa di alcuni giorni la rassegna dedicata ai finalisti del Premio letterario ‘Alassio 100 libri – Un autore per l’Europa’, che accompagnerà la stagione balneare 2011 fino a settembre, quando premieremo i vincitori di questa edizione”. Tra biografia e romanzo “Il Grande Dandy”, è la storia della vita spericolata di Raimondo Lanza di Trabia, il leggendario principe siciliano che Domenico Modugno nel 1955, un anno dopo la sua scomparsa, ricorderà con commozione in una delle sue canzoni più famose, “Vecchio frac”: “Ha il cilindro per cappello, due diamanti per gemelli, un bastone di cristallo, la gardenia nell’occhiello, e sul candido gilet un papillon di seta blu”.

1 Battle Weariness and the 2Nd New Zealand Division During the Italian Campaign, 1943-45
‘As a matter of fact I’ve just about had enough’;1 Battle weariness and the 2nd New Zealand Division during the Italian Campaign, 1943-45. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Massey University New Zealand. Ian Clive Appleton 2015 1 Unknown private, 24 Battalion, 2nd New Zealand Division. Censorship summaries, DA 508/2 - DA 508/3, (ANZ), Censorship Report No 6/45, 4 Feb to 10 Feb 45, part 2, p.1. Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Abstract By the time that the 2nd New Zealand Division reached Italy in late 1943, many of the soldiers within it had been overseas since early 1941. Most had fought across North Africa during 1942/43 – some had even seen combat earlier, in Greece and Crete in 1941. The strain of combat was beginning to show, a fact recognised by the division’s commanding officer, Lieutenant-General Bernard Freyberg. Freyberg used the term ‘battle weary’ to describe both the division and the men within it on a number of occasions throughout 1944, suggesting at one stage the New Zealanders be withdrawn from operations completely. This study examines key factors that drove battle weariness within the division: issues around manpower, the operational difficulties faced by the division in Italy, the skill and tenacity of their German opponent, and the realities of modern combat. -

The Eland Catalogue, No. 14
Welcome to the Eland Catalogue, No. 14 In 1982, John Hatt set up Eland. His office was his attic, perched at the top of his house on a grid of 19th-century terraced streets. Thus was Eland born, earning its identity from a South London street named after a large African antelope, which had been nicknamed by a Dutch-African back in the 17th-century, half-remembering the German slang for an elk. Only later did we find out that there had been an old Devonian family of bookseller-publishers called Eland, who worked in the close of Exeter Cathedral, a football stadium in Leeds and an Anglo-Saxon manor in Yorkshire that survived the Norman conquest. But it is to the large, docile, spiral-horned antelope that we owe our brand name. They sound fine animals these African Elands. A bull can stand six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh over two thousand pounds, so can pretty much barge his way through anything in his path, especially when backed up by the rest of the herd. Unlike publishers they tend to avoid lunch, preferring to eat at dawn and dusk and digest with a siesta in the middle of the day. When the herd moves in the night, they create a distinctive castanet-like chorus from the clack of their hooves. For tens of thousands of years the Bushmen have honoured the Eland as a trickster god, who assists in trance, dance and spirit travel. The Eland has now and then been domesticated (their milk keeps well) but they are essentially nomadic, which is true for those who work at Eland, who have spent as much of their time as journalists, writers, editors, dog-whisperers and dragoman-guides as behind a desk. -
