M. Forster—E. M. Forster and the World” orga- nised by the International E. M. Forster Society. Scholars from ten countries and from three continents gathered together in order to evaluate the presence and legacy of Forster in English literature and social history. The double title of the conference was meant to reflect the duality of our aims—on the one hand, we were interested in Forster’s own works, with a special stress on the less often approached texts. On the other hand, however, we intended to enquire as to the position of Forster, his works, and the values he stood for within British and world culture(s) almost half a century after his demise. We were interested in all possible aspects of Forster’s oeuvre and life, as perceived by various theories, methodologies, and schools, and we must admit that we were astounded by the variety of response. The presented papers dealt with Forster’s life and works, as well as with those of his con- temporaries. They gave us an insight into Forsterian influences in the works of our own contemporaries, such as Alan Hollinghurst and Zadie Smith. They showed Forster’s legacy going over the borders of literature, visible in films, plays, musicals, and operas based on his works.

There are many faces of this curiosity. Some have left traces of their interest in the form of collections of Egyptianized objects like Freud, who saw a common ground between psychoanalysis, which he founded, and archaeology, as they both search for deeper layers: one standing for personal memory and an- other for collective history.1 Some have purchased works of art that were made for them in “an Egyptian style”, and yet others, like architects, artists and writers, have produced their own works as acts of reception of ancient Egyptian art.

  • Recent Studies of Book Illustration and Engraving, Including Cartography, 1985–2016 This Bibliography Surveys Scholarship Publ
    Recent Studies of Book Illustration and Engraving, including Cartography, 1985–2016 This bibliography surveys scholarship published between 1985–2016 on engraving, including illustrations, prints, and emblems, as well as cartography, during the long eighteenth century (roughly 1650–1820). The focus is on Europe and the Americas, but some of Asian developments, particularly Japanese, have been included. The bibliography is most inclusive for the years 1990-2014, in consequence of my compiling studies from those years for Section 1— "Printing and Bibliographical Studies"—of the ECCB: The Eighteenth-Century Current Bibliography. A shorter version of this list without cartographic materials appeared in The East- Central Intelligencer, n.s. 15, no. 1 (January 2001), 58-77. Then an intermediate version appeared at Kevin Berland's C18-L website. During 2015–17, I expanded the list four times, with it now reaching 236 pages in typescript. The bibliography includes cartography (particularly the printed products of map-making), but excellent annual surveys of cartographic publications have been compiled by Francis Herbert, Wouter Bracke, and Nick Millea for Imago Mundi (entered under their names below). It lists dissertations and reviews for books. Focused on printed sources, it fails to note some valuable electronic sources, such as Juliette Sodt's website on illustration in botanical books, <www. library.wwu.edu/ref/subjguides/BOTILL.htm>, and many exhibition catalogues posted on the web by museums (only some recent exhibitions are included). Also, some studies in my bibliography of children’s literature at BibSite, as those on chapbooks, could also have been placed into this bibliography on engraving but were not.

  • CHURCH of IRELAND GENERAL SYNOD CHURCH in SOCIETY COMMITTEE
    CHURCH of IRELAND GENERAL SYNOD CHURCH in SOCIETY COMMITTEE STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CHURCH IN SOCIETY COMMITTEE ON THE CONVENTION TO BAN CLUSTER MUNITIONS From 19th-30th May 2008, representatives from 109 countries as well as the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Cluster Munitions Coalition are gathered in Dublin to finalise an anti-cluster munitions treaty. Those labouring to ban the production, storage, transfer and use of cluster munitions are to be commended and prayerfully supported. One might ask why, in the context of the arms industry where products are designed with the specific intent to kill, maim and destroy, are cluster munitions particularly sinister and deserving of special attention? The answer is this: they fail to observe the principle of distinction and so run contrary to the entire spirit of humanitarian law, that code which reaches for a moral centre based upon the sanctity of human life and the dignity of the person and through which nations are supposed to strive for a fair and just peace. In failing to distinguish between the civilian and the military, cluster munitions prevent us from containing the violence of war. Their use brings warfare to the civilian man, woman and child and drags warfare beyond the formal ending of hostilities, embedding it in the soil that communities must reclaim after war, slowing reconstruction efforts and distorting the rebuilding of normal life, making it a life-threatening affair. Efforts to reduce or dilute the force of the convention being finalised must be resisted. Several countries participating in the negotiations have come to the table with proposed amendments that, if included in the final convention, would perpetuate the suffering caused by cluster munitions.

  • Partnership from 1991, Partnership Agreement in Ludwigsburg 19 May 2012, in Nový Jičín 21 July 2012
    Partnership from 1991, Partnership Agreement in Ludwigsburg 19 May 2012, in Nový Jičín 21 July 2012 distance from Nový Jičín 870 km The city of Ludwigsburg (population 87,000) is located around 12 km to the north of Stuttgart in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It lies on the Neckar River. Ludwigsburg is a gem of Baroque architecture and was established at the beginning of the 18th century. Today it combines history and the present in a modern spirit, along with its attractiveness in the form of beautiful palaces, romantic gardens, busy high streets and unique social events. The Forum by the palace park is the cultural centre of the town and is the most important venue, along with the neighbouring palace, where the famous Ludwigsburg Palace Festival is held. The city offers three palaces: the beautiful residential palace, the Favorite summer hunting lodge and the Monrepos lakeside palace. The residential palace is the greatest source of pride in Ludwigsburg. One of the biggest German Baroque palaces forms the magnificent centre of the city. Duke Eberhard Ludwig built the residential palace between 1704 and 1733 and it boasts 452 rooms in 18 buildings. It currently houses 4 new museums. The Duke originally intended to build just the summer hunting lodge for hunting and for summer stays. However, he followed the example of other princes establishing towns and decided to build the palace. This “Swabian Versailles” is permanently surrounded by the Flowering Baroque garden exhibition, a unique park displaying garden art from various periods, over an area of 30 ha.
