Book Synopsis The World War I Illustrated Atlas by : Michael S. Neiberg
Download or read book The World War I Illustrated Atlas written by Michael S. Neiberg and published by Amber Books. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With expert, accessible text and accompanying archival photographs, this complete atlas provides an invaluable work of reference for both the general reader and the serious student of World War I. World War I Illustrated Atlas is a comprehensive visual guide to this complex conflict. In fine detail, it plots the exact course of the land, sea, and air campaigns, enabling the reader to trace the ebb and flow of the fortunes of all sides. With more than 180 maps, every theater of war is covered--from the Western Front to Penang, from Gallipoli to Galicia, from Dogger Bank to Dalmatia, from Romania to Rhodesia, and from the Falklands to Togo and the Sinai desert. All the maps have been specially commissioned from an expert cartographer. Each map is designed to highlight a particular aspect of the war--thus maps vary in shape and size, with some giving a global perspective while others depict the exact movement of armed forces on land, sea, or in the air. Battles such as Jutland, the Somme, Cambrai, and the Gallipoli campaign are shown in great detail. All maps are accompanied by an explanatory key.
Book Synopsis The Great War in Africa, 1914-1918 by : Byron Farwell
Download or read book The Great War in Africa, 1914-1918 written by Byron Farwell and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1989 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present the state of the art in the rapidly growing field of visualization as related to problems in urban and regional planning. The significance and timeliness of this volume consist in its reflection of several developments in literature and the challenges cities are facing. First, the unsustainability of many of our current paradigms of development has become evidently clear. We are entering an era in which communities across the globe are strengthening their connections to the global flows of capital, goods, ideas, technologies and values while facing at the same time serious dislocations in their traditional socioeconomic structures. While the impending scenarios of climate change impacts remind us about the integrated ecological system that we are part of, the current discussions about global recession in the media alert us and make us aware of the occasional perils of the globalized economic system. The globally dispersed, intricately integrated and hyper-complex socioeconomic-ecological system is difficult to analyze, comprehend and communicate without effective visualization tools. Given that planners are at the frontlines in the effort to prepare as well as build resilience in the impacted communities, appropriate visualization tools are indispensable for effective planning. Second, planners have largely been slow to incorporate the advances in visualization research emerging from other domains of inquiry.

Book Synopsis America and the Great War by : Margaret E. Wagner
Download or read book America and the Great War written by Margaret E. Wagner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Titles of the Year for 2017 "A uniquely colorful chronicle of this dramatic and convulsive chapter in American--and world--history. It's an epic tale, and here it is wondrously well told." --David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of FREEDOM FROM FEAR From August 1914 through March 1917, Americans were increasingly horrified at the unprecedented destruction of the First World War. While sending massive assistance to the conflict's victims, most Americans opposed direct involvement. Their country was immersed in its own internal struggles, including attempts to curb the power of business monopolies, reform labor practices, secure proper treatment for millions of recent immigrants, and expand American democracy. Yet from the first, the war deeply affected American emotions and the nation's commercial, financial, and political interests. The menace from German U-boats and failure of U.S. attempts at mediation finally led to a declaration of war, signed by President Wilson on April 6, 1917. America and the Great War commemorates the centennial of that turning point in American history. Chronicling the United States in neutrality and in conflict, it presents events and arguments, political and military battles, bitter tragedies and epic achievements that marked U.S. involvement in the first modern war. Drawing on the matchless resources of the Library of Congress, the book includes many eyewitness accounts and more than 250 color and black-and-white images, many never before published. With an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David M. Kennedy, America and the Great War brings to life the tempestuous era from which the United States emerged as a major world power.
