This book shows how British authors used landscape description to shape the meaning of the First World War. Using a broad range of critically neglected archival materials, it reexamines modernist and traditional writing to reveal how various modes of topographical representation allowed authors to construct healing responses to the war.
Tim and his friends find out the hard way that you shouldn't question the game master, and you shouldn't make fun of his cape. One minute, they're drinking away the dreariness of their lives, escaping into a fantasy game and laughing their asses off. The next minute, they're in a horse-drawn cart surrounded by soldiers pointing crossbows at them. Tim now has the voice and physique of a prepubescent girl. Dave finds that while he lost a foot or two in height, he somehow acquired a suit of armor and a badass beard. Julian's ears have grown ridiculously long and pointy. And Cooper... well Cooper has gotten himself a set of tusks, a pair of clawed hands, and a bad case of the shits. He also find...
This is the first global history of the secret diplomatic and police campaign that was waged against anarchist terrorism from 1878 to the 1920s. Anarchist terrorism was at that time the dominant form of terrorism and for many continued to be synonymous with terrorism as late as the 1930s. Ranging from Europe and the Americas to the Middle East and Asia, Richard Bach Jensen explores how anarchist terrorism emerged as a global phenomenon during the first great era of economic and social globalization at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries and reveals why some nations were so much more successful in combating this new threat than others. He shows how the challenge of dealing with this new form of terrorism led to the fundamental modernization of policing in many countries and also discusses its impact on criminology and international law.

In den Jahren 1880 bis 1914 suchten radikalisierte politische Gruppierungen weltweit mit Anschlägen und Attentaten öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit auf ihre Anliegen zu lenken. Ihre Gewaltakte lösten globale Reaktionen aus: Sowohl die Medien als auch die Politik bis hin zu politischen Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten rezipierten die Nachrichten über die Gewalt, äußerten ihren Abscheu oder ihre Bewunderung. Die Arbeit erzählt die Globalgeschichte des Terrorismus ausgehend vom Russischen Reich und damit von einem Staat, der um 1900 zum Dreh- und Angelpunkt globaler Debatten über Ursachen, Konsequenzen und Legitimität terroristischer Gewaltformen wurde. Bis heute gilt das Russische Reich als Urs...
