It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, specifically around Mount Gede, Mount Pangaro and south of Sukabumi. The Bleeding Toad’s scientific name, cruentata, is from the Latin word meaning “bleeding” because of the frog’s overall reddish-purple appearance and blood-red and yellow marbling on its back. Geographical range The population declined drastically after the eruption of Mount Galunggung in 1987. It is Knowledge believed that other declining factors may be habitat alteration, loss, and fragmentation. Experts Although the lethal chytrid fungus, responsible for devastating declines (and possible Get Involved extinctions) in amphibian populations globally, has not been recorded in this area, the sudden decline in a creekside population is reminiscent of declines in similar amphibian species due to the presence of this pathogen. Only one individual Bleeding Toad was sighted from 1990 to 2003. Part of the range of Bleeding Toad is located in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Future conservation actions should include population surveys and possible captive breeding plans. The production of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is made possible through the IUCN Red List Partnership.

Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics.

Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • Automobile Klassiker
    ZeitHaus Automobile Klassiker Borgward Isabella – die schnelle Individuelle aus Bremen 1954-1962 Automobile Meilensteine sind das Thema des ZeitHauses in der Autostadt – dies ungeachtet ihrer Herkunft. ZeitHaus-Philosophie ist es, Trendsetter zu präsentieren: Automobile, die Maßstäbe definierten und anderen Herstellern als Vorbild dienten, sei es technologisch, konzeptionell, im Design oder in der Produktionsweise. Die Isabella von Carl F. W. Borgward gehört zweifellos zu diesem elitären Kreis: Sie war die erste deutsche Mittelklasse-Limousine sportlich-luxuriöser Prägung, aufwändig in der Technologie, schick in der Linienführung – und damit erste Wahl für Individualisten. Ihre Erfolgsserie brach auch mit dem Niedergang des Borgward-Imperiums nicht ab: Andere Marken kopierten ihr Konzept und ernteten die Früchte. Technisch gleicht die Isabella ihrem direkten Vorläufer: dem eher behä- big-biederen Hansa 1500, der 1949 als erste deutsche Nachkriegs-Kons- truktion sein Debüt gab – und die erste deutsche Limousine mit Pon- tonkarosserie war. Doch in Charakter, Fahrgefühl und Image trennen Isa- bella und Hansa 1500 Welten. Die charmante Typbezeichnung war aus einer Laune des Chefs heraus entstanden („Nennt sie doch einfach ‚Isabella’!“). Der Name hat am speziellen Wesen der Bremer Limousine zwar einen gewissen Anteil, doch mehr noch prägte das von Zeitgenossen 1954 als unerhört dynamisch und elegant empfundene Karosserie-Design das Image dieser Schrittmacherin des Individualismus. Außerdem ließ ihr jugendliches Temperament die Isabella aus der brav- bürgerlichen, von Mercedes (180/190) und Opel (Olympia Rekord) geprägten Mittelklasse herausragen. „Der Wagen lag goldrichtig im Markt“, analysierte im Rückblick Werner Oswald, der führende Motorjournalisten der Wirtschafts- wunderzeit, den damaligen Isabella- Hype. „Er war technisch hervorragend konzipiert, und seine äußere Form wurde mit geradezu enthusias- tischem Beifall begrüßt.“ Borgward- Verkäufer schrieben folglich Isabella-Bestellungen im Akkord.
