Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine
Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and by Rhine (1837-1892) is best known to many as the husband of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom (1843-1878) and the father of daughters who married into the Houses of Romanov and Hohenzollern and into the Battenberg/Mountbatten family. Information about Ludwig IV can be found in memoirs, correspondences, and biographies of his relatives. However, publications specifically on Ludwig IV are rare. This publication includes the first English translation of the biographical sketch of Grand Duke Ludwig IV which was written by military historian Gebhard Zernin on the occasion of the unveiling of the equestrian statue of Ludwig IV in Darmstadt, Hesse, in 1898. It was published as a Festschrift and focuses on his education and military career, portraying him as a soldier in heart and soul who participated bravely in two wars. However, he was also a humble, kind-hearted, and fair-minded man who cared for his people. Zernin's biographical sketch is supplemented with concise historical background information and an account of the ceremony of the unveiling of the statue.
Goetsch Roots & Branches
Three children of Ferdinand Goetche/Goetsch/Gates, Sr. immigrated with their families from Pommern, Germany to America between 1856 and 1883. Other relatives came too, and most of them settled in Marathon County, Wisconsin. From there descendants migrated to Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia and elsewhere.
Battle of the Bulge
This WWII pictorial history presents an in-depth study of Hitler’s epic, final offensive campaign. In December of 1944, nine days before Christmas, Hitler played Germany’s last card on which he staked everything to turn the tables in the West. In this densely illustrated volume, military historian Jean Paul Pallud examines the entire salient with ‘then and now’ photographs. Hundreds of miles have been traveled by the author throughout every corner of the battlefield to search out the scenes of past events — every known photograph belonging to combatants, civilians, and in public collections and private sources has been sought or considered. All available film has been examined frame by frame and certain sequences illustrated and analyzed. This painstaking process offers a vividly detailed look at the famous battle. A number of classic pictures used — or misused — in depicting the conflict are placed in their true context, often revealing them to be very different from what they seem!
Heimat verhandeln?
Heimat – ein ebenso verführerisches wie verheißungsvolles Konstrukt – hat Konjunktur. In der Politik, den Medien, der Werbung. Doch nicht nur in massenmedial verbreiteten Diskursen, auch in Architektur, Landschaftsgestaltung, Kunst, Popkultur und im Alltäglichen findet eine permanente Aushandlung dessen statt, was Heimat sein oder verkörpern könnte. Heimat wird evoziert und in Szene gesetzt, tradierte Motive und Bedeutungen werden angeeignet, ironisiert, nicht selten instrumentalisiert. Der vorliegende Band trägt dieser medialen Breite des Phänomens vom 19. bis ins 21. Jahrhundert Rechnung.
