Download or read book The Great War written by Kellen Kurschinski and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War: From Memory to History offers a new look at the multiple ways the Great War has been remembered and commemorated through the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. Drawing on contributions from history, cultural studies, film, and literary studies this collection offers fresh perspectives on the Great War and its legacy at the local, national, and international levels. More importantly, it showcases exciting new research on the experiences and memories of “forgotten” participants who have often been ignored in dominant narratives or national histories. Contributors to this international study highlight the transnational character of memory-making in the Great War’s aftermath. No single memory of the war has prevailed, but many symbols, rituals, and expressions of memory connect seemingly disparate communities and wartime experiences. With groundbreaking new research on the role of Aboriginal peoples, ethnic minorities, women, artists, historians, and writers in shaping these expressions of memory, this book will be of great interest to readers from a variety of national and academic backgrounds.

Download or read book The Backwash of War written by Ellen Newbold La Motte and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This war has been described as "Months of boredom, punctuated by moments of intense fright." The writer of these sketches has experienced many "months of boredom," in a French military field hospital, situated ten kilometres behind the lines, in Belgium. During these months, the lines have not moved, either forward or backward, but have remained dead-locked, in one position. Undoubtedly, up and down the long-reaching kilometres of "Front" there has been action, and "moments of intense fright" have produced glorious deeds of valour, courage, devotion, and nobility. But when there is little or no action, there is a stagnant place, and in a stagnant place there is much ugliness. Much ugliness is churned up in the wake of mighty, moving forces. We are witnessing a phase in the evolution of humanity, a phase called War-and the slow, onward progress stirs up the slime in the shallows, and this is the Backwash of War. It is very ugly. There are many little lives foaming up in the backwash. They are loosened by the sweeping current, and float to the surface, detached from their environment, and one glimpses them, weak, hideous, repellent. After the war, they will consolidate again into the condition called Peace. After this war, there will be many other wars, and in the intervals there will be peace. So it will alternate for many generations. By examining the things cast up in the backwash, we can gauge the progress of humanity. When clean little lives, when clean little souls boil up in the backwash, they will consolidate, after the final war, into a peace that shall endure. But not till then.
Download or read book The Duration and Six Months written by Shirley Coressel and published by . This book was released on 2002-07 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single Women Alive and Well! is the intelligent answer to all those books telling women they need a man in order to be happy. Its stories are about and by single women who have learned to be strong on their own. Whether never married, divorced, or widowed, these women have not let society dictate to them that "alone" means "incomplete." Single Women Alive and Well! inspires women of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances, even those married, to strive for contentment in their lives apart from a relationship. Fulfillment, says Single Women Alive and Well!, is found within. And once found, it can never be lost, stolen, or broken, unlike a heart . . . In a perfect world, every woman would find her Prince Charming and live happily ever after. In the real world, even married women know that such fantasy is a figment of Hollywood's imagination. Yet society continues to convince single women that their main goals in life should be to find a man, marry him, and give birth to his children. A career, friends, and outside interests are simply substitutes for this "true" road to contentment. Why, then, are women who "have it all" not satisfied? Because nothing outside of herself can make a woman happy. As Abraham Lincoln said, "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Single Women Alive and Well! demonstrates this truth over and over again, from the perspective of women who used to agonize over their solitary existence, thinking that something was wrong with them, that they weren't normal, that they would "be happy when . . ." These single women all discovered, either through an epiphany or many experiences, that they did not want to sit around waiting for life to happen to them. That they would live life to the fullest, choose to enjoy the blessings of being single, and take charge of their future. From their newfound freedom, they emerged stronger, more confident, and capable to do something as simple as eat out alone. As one writer says, "I'm alone . . . but not lonely." Another writer tackles the fear of driving cross-country by herself for the first time. Others tell about attending a bullfight alone, overcoming a phobia of horses, or mastering a college chemistry class as an older student. These stories are as individual as the women who wrote them, as diversified as our culture, and more rewarding to read than any romance novel. For they are true, taken from real life. These Single Women Alive and Well! didn't need a million dollars for incentive to survive on their own little islands. Instead, they built their boats and bridges and found the secret to life -- getting to know, accept, and love oneself . . .

Download or read book Brain Mind and Medicine written by Robert Guskind and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Richet was one of the most remarkable figures in the history of medical science. He is best known for his work on the body's immune reactions to foreign substances for which he won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1913. Richet was also a poet, playwright, historian, bibliographer, political activist, classical scholar, and pioneer in aircraft design.Brain, Mind, and Medicine is the first major biography of Richet in any language. Wolf brilliantly situates Richet's work in the intellectual currents of Europe during the latter half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Richet was a contemporary of Wilhelm Wundt and William James. All three considered psychology to be an aspect of physiology governed by biological laws. But while James and Wundt considered consciousness as a process influenced by experience without much reference to neural structures, Richet's focus was on the brain itself as shaped by genetics and experience and serving as the organ of the mind.Brain, Mind, and Medicine illuminates a significant chapter in scientific and cultural history. It should be read by medical scientists, historians, and individuals interested in medicine and psychology.
