This is an outstanding personal memoir penned by a German infantry officer recalling his experiences during the initial days and weeks of the war in the West, July-September 1914.

Abstract

Aubrey Herbert was one of the most interesting figures of his age. He was twice offered the Albanian throne! Born almost blind, his sight even after surgery precluded him from official military service and he became a diplomat and politician. However in 1914 he attached himself unofficially to the Irish Guards on the outbreak of war on their way to France and was made an honorary Lieutenant. Despite his service overseas in France, the Dardanelles and then Egypt and Iraq, he remained an MP throughout the War. He was briefly captured in the Retreat from Mons and, after recovering from his wounds

Abstract

L'origine du Mundaneum remonte à la fin du XIXe siècle. Créé à l'initiative de l'un des pères de la bibliographie, Paul Otlet (1868-1944), et du Prix Nobel de la Paix Henri La Fontaine (1854-1943), le projet visait à rassembler tous les savoirs du monde.Berceau d'institutions internationales dédiées à la connaissance et à la fraternité, le Mundaneum devint, au cours du XXe siècle, un centre de documentation à caractère universel. Les collections, composées de milliers de livres, journaux, petits documents, affiches, plaques de verre, cartes postales et fiches bibliographiques ont été constituées et hébergées dans différents lieux bruxellois et notamment au Cinquantenaire. Centre d'archives et d'expositions installé à Mons depuis 1998, le Mundaneum redevient, à l'heure d'Internet et de Wikipedia, un lieu incontournable. Un lieu unique à découvrir au fil des pages du présent guide.

Abstract

VESUVIUS 2000 is an interdisciplinary project aimed at producing a safe and prosperous habitat for the people living around Vesuvius. To produce this environment requires an effective collaboration between the experts and the public, whereby the danger from the volcano is used to reorganize the territory and thus produce new opportunities for the people surrounding the volcano. As an all inclusive physico-mathematical-computer model of the volcano, the Global Volcanic Simulator is a key tool for determining the effects of different eruption scenarios and thus for urban planning of the territor

Abstract

"Rome in Egypt's Eastern Desert collects Prof. Cuvigny's most important articles on Egypt's Eastern desert during the Roman period. From the excavations of the forts that she has directed have come a wealth of material, including tens of thousands of texts written on potsherds (ostraca). Some of these are administrative texts, but many more are correspondence, both official and private, written by and to the people (mostly but not all men) who lived and worked for periods of time in these remote and harsh environments, supported by an elaborate network of defense, administration and supply that tied the entire region together. The contents have all been published earlier in peer-reviewed venues, but almost entirely in French. All contributions have been translated or checked by the editor and brought up to date with respect to bibliography and in some cases significantly rewritten by the author, in order to take account of the enormous amount of new material discovered in the intervening time and subsequent publications. A full index will make this body of work far more accessible than it now is. This book brings together thirty years of detailed study of this material, bringing to life the geography, administration, military, quarry operations, life in the forts, and the religion and expressive language of the population who lived in them"--

Abstract

Norbert Ghisoland, né en 1878 à La Bouverie (Belgique), s'est installé en 1902 dans une boutique-studio à Frameries, au cœur du Borinage. Jusqu'à sa mort en 1939, c'est par dizaines de milliers qu'il a photographié ses contemporains, principalement les habitants de Frameries et des villages voisins. Ce corpus inestimable à plus d'un titre nous donne littéralement à voir la population d'une région marquée par l'exploitation du charbon à un moment précis de son histoire - les années 1920 et 1930 principalement. Outre son indéniable intérêt historique et sociologique, le portrait collectif patiemment constitué par Ghisoland surprend et séduit par sa cohérence formelle, esthétique. Ceux qui posaient pour lui étaient pour la plupart issus du monde ouvrier et, plus encore que pour les classes sociales plus aisées, se rendre-chez le photographe constituait un acte solennel, une manière tangible de marquer pour la postérité les actes importants de l'existence. On venait chez Ghisoland à la faveur d'une naissance, d'une communion, d'un mariage, d'un diplôme, d'une promotion, d'une victoire sportive. Pour l'essentiel, on constituait, pour soi-même et pour ses proches, un album où n'étaient repris que les bons souvenirs. Et Norbert Ghisoland, inlassablement, s'est employé à traduire en images ces petits bonheurs, ces petites fiertés, rendant ainsi un hommage implicite à la grandeur ordinaire de ses semblables.
