The book is organized around four themes. The first addresses the development of the Luxembourgian cuesta landscape, covering geological evolution, lithology, geomorphological characteristics and hydrology, as well as the scientific history of research in this area. The second theme addresses aspects of the landscape’s geo-ecological- system functioning and development, including soils, nutrient availability, forest ecology and educational approaches to study geo-ecological systems, including old and modern mapping techniques. The third theme is related to biological and physico-chemical control of erosion processes, including the impact of (macro-)fauna, vegetation and substrate on soil erosion processes. The last theme discusses practical applications of the research findings.

Book Synopsis The Radio Luxembourg Story by : Nathan Morley
Download or read book The Radio Luxembourg Story written by Nathan Morley and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel on an epic journey through the history of Radio Luxembourg - the 'Great 208' - a station which entertained millions and helped shape European listening habits during the last century. The book, which has been a project lasting a decade, features exclusive contributions from stars of the golden age of music and broadcasting, including Vera Lynn, Pete Murray, Teddy Johnson, Gerry Marsden, Desmond Carrington, David Jacobs, David Gell, Ray Orchard, Alan Freeman, David Attenbrough, Don Wardell, Shaw Taylor, Arthur Brown, David Hamilton and many others. Nathan Morley traces the origins of Luxembourg, celebrating the early pioneering spirit and unearthing long forgotten characters and programmes. The book looks at the brutal war-years and the transformation of the channel into a Nazi propaganda station, then as a US psychological warfare channel. It provides an insight into key events, personalities, programmes, internal problems and its magnificent successes. The Cold War years are recalled by songstress Connie Francis, who became a popular entertainer on the channel, which was banned in the Eastern block and USSR, but attracted over 35 million listeners. In one of his last interviews before his death and subsequent exposure as one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders, Jimmy Savile spoke to the author about his Radio Luxembourg career, the station that had made him a legend; as he cascaded to fame as a purveyor of pop, spouting nonsensical catchphrases and innuendo. Faced with a hostile BBC and the pop pirates, Radio Luxembourg managed to survive the 60s and 70s. Personal memories are shared by Noel Edmonds, Paul Burnett, Kid Jenson, Roger Day, Benny Brown, David Symonds, Colin Nichol, Timmy Mallett, Tony Blewitt, Alton Andrews and Emperor Rosko, who all give their take on the era, in addition to contributions from pop stars including David Soul and Dave Berry, and former Controllers Alan Keen and Ken Evans. The boss of the opposition Radio One's Johnny Beerling also contributes his memories. This is an important deeply researched portrait of British broadcasting history, and one which is aided by many of the personalities, staff and stars that were associated with it.It seemed that in his early teens, John Lennon was a fan of mine on Radio Luxembourg, and that one evening I played a record that 'changed his life' - Heartbreak Hotel. DAVID GELLI remember when I went for my first visit to Luxembourg; I took back about three pounds of bacon to the UK in my suitcase, which my parents enjoyed! - TEDDY JOHNSONI always had a desire to reach people behind the iron curtain; the point of Radio Luxembourg for me was that I could make people who were so suppressed happy. I was amazed the signal could reach to Tunisia and behind the iron curtain. CONNIE FRANCIS The thing with Luxembourg is that I never actually met any of the other performers that were broadcasting because I just went to a little studio in London, did the programme and that was that. - VERA LYNNGreat parties, beautiful girls, ridiculous practical jokes, walking home through snowy streets at 4am, corpsing whilst reading the news, warning letters from Geoffrey Everitt, the overwhelming thought that I had finally made it on "the station of the stars" - NOEL EDMONDSThe Liverpool sound was starting to make its mark and I'll never forget the appearance on The Friday Spectacular of four smartly dressed young lads with Scouse accents. It was, of course, The Beatles making their first radio broadcast. - SHAW TAYLORThere was always a local engineer on duty. He came in a said JFK was shot, so I called Geoffrey Everitt in London who was out to dinner, then the guy came back and said he was dead and I took us off the air. - DON WARDELLI later learnt that great artists like Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Bryan Ferry and the Beatles listened to Jensen's Dimensions - DAVID JENSEN

Book Synopsis Surviving the Nazi Occupation of Luxembourg by : Marguerite Thill-Somin-Nicholson
Download or read book Surviving the Nazi Occupation of Luxembourg written by Marguerite Thill-Somin-Nicholson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early on the morning of May 10, 1940, twelve-year-old Marguerite Thill was awakened by the cries of her father warning the family that the Nazis were about to invade their country of Luxembourg. By that evening, Marguerite Gretchen, as she was called her three sisters, and their parents had donned several layers of clothing and left on foot, along with hundreds of others, to escape into France. This marked the beginning of an amazing odyssey. For the next three months, the family lived as refugees, trying, sometimes without success, to stay one step ahead of the Nazis. They slept in filthy barns, acquired lice, went without food and water, and huddled in ditches while bombs fell around them. Once the French government was able to establish some organization, Gretchen and her family were transported to Montbard, where they were placed into the home of two elderly ladies who had a spare room. Just as they had begun to feel safe and relaxed, they were moved to the tiny village of Cruchy, where they were placed into a house that had not been inhabited since WWI. When a troop of German soldiers took partial possession of the house, Gretchen's father quickly developed the habit of sleeping with an axe at his side, the only method at his disposal to protect his wife and four daughters from the German commander sleeping in the next room and the soldiers in their tents pitched in the orchard just outside. Throughout their enforced travels, Gretchen and her family beheld gruesome images of corpses, blood-drenched streets, wounded war horses, a mother killed with her baby's carriage still at her side. When the family was able to return to Luxembourg, it was to a homeland which would remain occupied by the Nazis for the next four years. Swastikas draped every building. German troops goose-stepped down the streets. Speakers broadcast Hitler's speeches day and night. Nazis stood at the back of the church, once a place of great comfort, to ensure the priest said nothing against them. Along with the rest of the nation, Gretchen and her family had their fuel and food severely rationed. Allowed little more than was needed to survive, they were often hungry. And as was not unusual in that time and place, Gretchen had adult expectations placed upon her: holding a baby pig while a farmer slaughtered it so the family could have some meat; standing in line all night at the local butcher for a pound of horse meat; acting as her family's look-out while her parents listened to anti-Nazi BBC; sneaking food to Luxembourg boys who had gone underground. Growing into young womanhood, she weathered every hardship with the quiet courage that would come to mark her generation. Four years and four months after her nation's flight into France, the Allies liberated Luxembourg. The Thill household became a favorite visiting spot for the American G.I.s as word had spread that Madame Thill spoke English. The soldiers brought gallon cans of food, and Gretchen was introduced to peanut butter. At the age of seventeen, she began working at American Headquarters in Luxembourg City, where she met an American soldier whom she soon married. She then joined the thousands of other war brides who sailed for America. She and her new husband settled in his hometown of Duluth, where they started living a life of selfless hard work so their children could grow up to enjoy lives that would not include fear or hunger. Gretchen would never again feel the ground shake with cannon fire, but her memories of a life interrupted by history would remain with her in the form of that quiet courage which has always allowed her to stare down tragedy.

Download or read book Inventing Luxembourg written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The grand duchy of Luxembourg was created after the Napoleonic Wars, but at the time there was no 'nation' that identified with the emergent state. This book analyses how politicians, scholars and artists have initiated and contributed to nation-building processes in Luxembourg since the nineteenth century, processes that as this book argues are still ongoing. The focus rests on three types of representations of nationhood: a shared past, a common homeland and a national language. History was written so as to justify the country's political independence. Territorial borders shifted meaning, constantly repositioning the national community. The local dialect initially considered German variant was gradually transformed into the 'national language', Luxembourgish.
