    AVİM Commentary • No: 2019 / 38 • June 2019 OBITUARY: MAVERICK HISTORIAN AND TURKEY'S GREAT FRIEND NORMAN STONE PASSED AWAY AVİM Professor Norman Stone, who has died aged 78, was one of Britains best historians. Born in Kelvinside, Glasgow on March 8, 1941 during the years of WW II, Stone lost his father, a lawyer who served at the Royal Air Force during the war, just a year after he was born. He received his education at the Glasgow Academy and then at Cambridge University. He had taught at Cambridge and Oxford Universities for decades. As a colorful historian and a maverick intellectual, Stone produced many influential works. His command of more than 10 languages enabled him to read and gain insights from many different sources. His works often displayed masterful analyses, enriched with anecdotes and interesting facts, which gave his readers both knowledge and joy. His book The Eastern Front, 1914-1917 first published in 1975 still remains as the standard account of the Great Wars Austro-Russian front. Stone had taught and supervised a number of brilliant students. His students include world-famous historians such as Dominic Lieven, Andrew Roberts, Nial Ferguson and Orlando Figes among others. By late 1980s Stone was already emerging as a national celebrity in the UK. He had been Margaret Tatchers foreign policy advisor and speechwriter. He regularly contributed columns to the British daily newspapers and wrote extensively on history and current affairs. Professor Stones impressive linguistic skills had served him well. When the infamous forged Hitler Diaries surfaced in the 80s, Stone, who could read the old German script, had been one of the earliest historians to declare them as forged, and rightly so.

    ―STRENGTHENING THE FAITH OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD‖: PIETISM, PRINT, AND PRAYER IN THE MAKING OF A WORLD EVANGELICAL HERO, GEORGE MÜLLER OF BRISTOL (1805-1898) by DARIN DUANE LENZ B.A., California State University, Bakersfield, 1997 M.A., Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, 2000 M.A., Villanova University, 2003 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Abstract George Müller of Bristol (1805-1898) was widely celebrated in the nineteenth century as the founder of the Ashley Down Orphan Homes in Bristol, England. He was a German immigrant to Great Britain who was at the vanguard of evangelical philanthropic care of children. The object of his charitable work, orphans, influenced the establishment of Christian orphanages in Great Britain, North America, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. However, what brought Müller widespread public acclaim was his assertion that he supported his orphan homes solely by relying on faith and prayer. According to Müller, he prayed to God for the material needs of the orphans and he believed, in faith, that those needs were supplied by God, without resort to direct solicitation, through donations given to him. He employed his method as a means to strengthen the faith of his fellow Christians and published an ongoing chronicle of his answered prayers that served as evidence. Müller‘s method of financial support brought him to the forefront of public debate in the nineteenth century about the efficacy of prayer and the supernatural claims of Christianity.

  • Economics Reading List
    Last updated: July 2015 Economics Reading List If you are interested in Economics then it usually means you are interested in the way it applies to the real world around you. You should keep up with the news, particularly when it involves key economic indicators or policies. Journalists frequently use concepts and vocabulary from Economics A Level, and reading the news regularly will help cement these ideas in your mind. Reading news-sources will also give you up to date macroeconomic data on things like inflation, unemployment and growth, as well as good examples of market failure such as monopoly power and negative externalities, as well as the government’s measures to deal with these. News-sources: The BBC news website is worth a daily visit, particularly the Economy tab. The blogs written by Robert Peston, Linda Yeuh and Kamel Ahmed are very good. Build in listening to the Today programme on Radio 4 (Mon - Sat 6:00am – 9:00am) into your morning routine. Subscribe to the Economist through the School offer. You are unlikely to read it cover to cover every week, but skim through for interesting articles and those that map on to topics you are studying. The Times, Guardian, Telegraph, and Independent all have good coverage of the economy. The Guardian and Telegraph on Saturday, and the Times on Sunday are particularly strong on economic news. Never, ever, read the Daily Mail. The Week – this is an excellent weekly magazine that presents the week’s news in brief. Economic Review, Economics Today – these are magazines available to A Level students through the School, and aimed specifically at an A Level audience.

(Of course, all wars have causes and consequences; 1914-1945 thus encompasses the last half of the 19th and 20th centuries and all, so far, of the 21st). There is no general term for the period 1914-1945. Is it the “Second 30-Years’ War”? (But ’14 -’45 = 31 years!) Are they the “German Wars?” (But what about Japan!) Is it “The Long War?” (The term usually includes the Cold War, 1945-1989).

No coincidence there. History was my father’s passion and primary source of intellectual stimulation. History books were his daily companions. Of all the Foundation’s many activities, none gave him greater pleasure than the History Prize. It is an immense sadness that he is not with us to celebrate the fortieth anniversary.

  • A History of World War II
    Prof. Stefan Ihrig student meetings by appointment [email protected] A History of World War II This course will offer an in-depth look at World War II and how it played out in Europe. It will combine military history with political and social aspects of the war. The course seeks to offer a comprehensive picture of a conflict that claimed the lives of tens of millions of peoples. It will do so by analyzing different perceptions, levels, and layers of the conflict. The course will also touch upon questions of remembrance, justice, and portrayals in popular culture. Furthermore, by including recently discovered footage and other sources from the time, it is hoped that this course will challenge existing trends that put this conflict into a very distant and removed past. This course will open up important perspectives on the Holocaust. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and to make this course more engaging, this course is focused on student projects. Besides reading, thinking, and taking part in discussions, it will be essential to become engaged with some of the core topics more deeply and to investigate a bit on your own. What you will have to do Besides coming with an open mind and developing your own interests, you will have to do three main things: 1) read and participate, 2) various special projects (intro video, book video, soldiers clip (team project), devil’s advocate clip (team project), short written feedback on three topics), 3) write a final paper (around eight pages long). For your orientation, there is a checklist of your assignments at the end of this syllabus.

  • Norman Stone, 1941–2019 by Jeremy Black Published in the New Criterion September 2019
    9/3/2019 Norman Stone, 1941–2019 by Jeremy Black published in The New Criterion September 2019 Notebook September 2019 Norman Stone, 1941–2019 by Jeremy Black On the life and works of the European historian. hank God I’m not in that system any more.” My last email from “T Norman, sent on June 7, eleven days before he died, included criticisms of Oxford and Cambridge. That the most talented British historian of European history of his generation had felt it necessary to part company with them was proof that his criticisms were no empty gripes. As so often with the skein of life, his path was shaped by a temporary aberration: briefly carried away by the meritocratic ethos of that age, Oxford, in filling its Chair of Modern History in 1984, decided to make an appointment on talent and looked to an outsider, one, moreover, who was not only highly qualified but also, coming from Glasgow Academy, provincial middle-class and right-wing. When Oxford realized what it had done, it reversed direction and sought to make him, in effect, redundant. The spinning started immediately. Norman had an alcohol problem, as if that were at all unusual in Oxford, not least among the historians. Patrick Wormald drank himself to death in 2004, but then he was acceptable because he had been at Eton and Balliol. Norman was interested in sex, but that again was scarcely unusual among the Oxford historians. It was said that Norman’s work no longer approached the quality of his first two books, which was hilarious given the number of Oxbridge dons who had not written two of any distinction in the first place, instead taking early retirement but forgetting to notify the authorities.

What then? Even in these things perhaps there is nothing bad.’ In both cases the implication is that the young men will settle down in due course, so why waste time and effort browbeating them now? Questions of morality are overlooked.
