Fromelles and Pozières
THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER On 19 July 1916, 7000 Australian soldiers - in the first major action of the AIF on the Western Front - attacked entrenched German positions at Fromelles in northern France. By the next day, there were over 5500 casualties, including nearly 2000 dead - a bloodbath that the Australian War Memorial describes as 'the worst 24 hours in Australia's entire history. Just days later, three Australian Divisions attacked German positions at nearby Pozières, and over the next six weeks they suffered another 23,000 casualties. Of that bitter battle, the great Australian war correspondent Charles Bean would write, ‘The field of Pozières is more consecrated by Australian fighti...
Monash's Masterpiece
The Battle of Le Hamel on 4 July 1918 was an Allied triumph, and strategically very important in the closing stages of WW1. A largely Australian force commanded by the brilliant John Monash, fought what has described as the first modern battle - where infantry, tanks, artillery and planes operated together, as a coordinated force. Monash planned every detail meticulously - with nothing left to chance: integrated use of planes, wireless (and even carrier pigeons!)was the basis, and it went on from there, down to the details. Infantry, artillery, tanks and planes worked together of the battlefront, with relatively few losses. In the words of Monash: 'A perfect modern battle plan is like nothing so much as a score for an orchestral composition, where the various arms and units are the instruments, and the tasks they perform are their respective musical phrases.'

Victory at Villers-Bretonneux
It’s early 1918, and after four brutal years, the fate of the Great War hangs in the balance. On the one hand, the fact that Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks have seized power in Russia – immediately suing for peace with Germany – means that no fewer than one million of the Kaiser’s soldiers can now be transferred from there to the Western Front. On the other, now that America has entered the war, it means that two million American soldiers are also on their way, to tip the scales of war to the Allies. The Germans, realising that their only hope is striking at the Allied lines first, do exactly that, and on the morning of 21 March 1918, the Kaiserschlacht, the Kaiser’s battle, is ...
Sozialer Wandel und Kohäsion
Die Prozesse sozialen Wandels in gegenwärtigen Gesellschaften verlaufen nicht fortschrittslogisch widerspruchsfrei, sondern vielfältig gebrochen. Soziale Verwerfungen, geschlechtliche Ungleichheitslagen und Exklusionsmechanismen führen zu weiteren Veränderungsdynamiken. Die Auswirkungen der beschleunigten Modernisierungsprozesse eröffnen ebenso Befreiungspotenziale wie problematische Entwicklungen. Ausgangsfragen für den vorliegenden Band sind daher: Was folgt aus veränderten, ‚verbesserten‘ normativen Vorgaben in ausgewählten Feldern Sozialer Arbeit und Gesundheit? Welche Verbindung wird zu weiteren gesellschaftlichen Feldern und Veränderungsprozessen gezogen? Welche Aus- und Nebenwirkungen zeigen sich je nach Praxisfeld auf Klientel, Betroffene sowie Situierung der Profession Sozialer Arbeit? In der vorliegenden Publikation werden Bezüge zu sozialem Wandel und Kohäsion vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Forschungsprojekte hergestellt.
