The Descendants of Hans Michael Wallick in the American Civil War

The Descendants of Hans Michael Wallick in the American Civil War

Michael David Wallick

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2012
pokkari
This is the revised edition of the Wallick family's participation in the American Civil War. Two new soldier's stories are told in this renewed volume and several original biographies have been updated with recently discovered materials.Patriarch Hans Michael Wallick arrived in America from Germany in the year 1732. In the one hundred and twenty-nine years between his arrival and the outbreak of the American Civil War, his family had greatly multiplied and prospered, which created a large population of military-aged men. From Lincoln's first call-up of soldiers after the attack on Fort Sumter to Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, twenty-five Wallicks served in the Union army. These men were at the battles of Gettysburg, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chancellorsville and Chickamauga, plus many other engagements. Some became prisoners of war and one participated in the most daring and successful escape attempt of the entire conflict. His heroic service is even documented in a United States House of Representatives committee report. Four young men never returned home and three are now buried in our national cemeteries. The war forever changed the lives of these Wallick soldiers, and this book is a chronicle of their service to our country.

Revolution of the Mind

Revolution of the Mind

David-Fox Michael

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
1997
sidottu
Using archival materials never previously accessible to Western scholars, Michael David-Fox analyzes Bolshevik Party educational and research initiatives in higher learning after 1917. His fresh consideration of the era of the New Economic Policy and cultural politics after the Revolution explains how new communist institutions rose to parallel and rival conventional higher learning from the Academy of Sciences to the universities. Beginning with the creation of the first party school by intellectuals on the island of Capri in 1909, David-Fox argues, the Bolshevik cultural project was tightly linked to party educational institutions. He provides the first account of the early history and politics of three major institutions founded after the Revolution: Sverdlov Communist University, where the quest to transform everyday life gripped the student movement; the Institute of Red Professors, where the Bolsheviks sought to train a new communist intellectual or red specialist; and the Communist Academy, headquarters for a planned, collectivist, proletarian science.

Voedingsaanbeveling voor het beheer van het bloedsuikergehalte

David C Michael

Globeedit
2020
pokkari
Elk voedsel dat we eten heeft op een of andere manier invloed op onze bloedsuikerspiegel. En als we geen aandacht besteden aan de vitale details van onze voeding, kunnen we een cluster van aandoeningen toevoegen die het risico op het metabool syndroom vergroten, zoals Diabetes mellitus, Beroerte, Hartziekten, Zwaarlijvigheid, enz. Er wordt weinig informatie verstrekt over de Glycemische Indices (GI) en Glycemic Load (GL) van veel lokaal geconsumeerde Nigeriaanse di ten, en om meer gegevens te verstrekken die het gebruik van GI en GL in het beheer, de behandeling en de preventie van ziekten samen met andere voedingsaanbevelingen effectief mogelijk maken, is er behoefte aan deze studie. Het boek, Dietary Recommendation for Managing Blood Sugar Levels, is een documentatie van experimentele bevindingen over de Proximale samenstelling, de Minerale inhoud, de Glycemische Index en de Glycemische Belasting van twee nietige Nigeriaanse di ten: Bonenma spap en Ma spudding. Het suggereert redenen waarom voedingsmiddelen moeten worden geoptimaliseerd en gecombineerd waar nodig om de nutritionele kwaliteiten te verbeteren in het licht van hun glycemische impact.

Livtag med Løgstrup og Grundtvig

Livtag med Løgstrup og Grundtvig

David Bugge & Michael Schelde (red.)

Forlaget Klim
2017
nidottu
“I besættelsesårenes lidenskabelige brevveksling med vennen (og Grundtvig-kenderen) Hal Koch udbryder K.E. Løgstrup på et tidspunkt: ”Du har indtil dato forstået forbandet lidt af Grundtvig!”Hvor meget Løgstrup i grunden selv havde forstået af Grundtvig, og hvor grundtvigsk han overhovedet var, er fortsat omdiskuteret. Når Løgstrup en sjælden gang påberåbte sig Grundtvig, og man da skød ham i skoene, at det slet ikke var Grundtvig, han refererede, men snarere Thanings angivelige misrepræsentation af mesteren, da svarede han gerne, at hvis Thaning havde misforstået Grundtvig, så var det værst for Grundtvig. For Løgstrup var sagen det afgørende, ikke manden – og endnu mindre bevægelsen.At der er berøringsflader (herunder brudflader) mellem de to, synes dog hævet over enhver tvivl; og det danner baggrund for denne udgivelse, hvor flere generationer af Løgstrup-forskere tager livtag med forskellige aspekter af forholdet.”

Showcasing the Great Experiment

Showcasing the Great Experiment

Michael David-Fox

Oxford University Press Inc
2014
nidottu
During the 1920s and 1930s thousands of European and American writers, professionals, scientists, artists, and intellectuals made a pilgrimage to experience the "Soviet experiment" for themselves. Showcasing the Great Experiment explores the reception of these intellectuals and fellow-travelers and their cross-cultural and trans-ideological encounters in order to analyze Soviet attitudes towards the West. Many of the twentieth century's greatest writers and thinkers, including Theodore Dreiser, André Gide, Paul Robeson, and George Bernard Shaw, notoriously defended Stalin's USSR despite the unprecedented violence of its prewar decade. While many visitors were profoundly affected by their Soviet tours, so too was the Soviet system. The early experiences of building showcases and teaching outsiders to perceive the future-in-the-making constitute a neglected international part of the emergence of Stalinism at home. Michael David-Fox contends that each side critically examined the other, negotiating feelings of inferiority and superiority, admiration and enmity, emulation and rejection. By the time of the Great Purges, these tensions gave way to the dramatic triumph of xenophobia and isolationism; whereas in the twenties the new regime assumed it had much to learn from Western modernity, by the Stalinist thirties the Soviet order was declared superior in all respects. Drawing on the declassified archival records of the agencies charged with crafting the international image of communism, David-Fox shows how Soviet efforts to sell the Bolshevik experiment abroad through cultural diplomacy shaped and were, in turn, shaped by the ongoing project of defining the Soviet Union from within. These interwar Soviet methods of mobilizing the intelligentsia for the international ideological contest, he argues, directly paved the way for the cultural Cold War.

The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism

The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism

Michael David Kaulana Ing

Oxford University Press Inc
2012
sidottu
In The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism Michael Ing describes how early Confucians coped with situations where their rituals failed to achieve their intended aims. In contrast to most contemporary interpreters of Confucianism, Ing demonstrates that early Confucian texts can be read as arguments for ambiguity in ritual failure. If, as discussed in one text, Confucius builds a tomb for his parents unlike the tombs of antiquity, and rains fall causing the tomb to collapse, it is not immediately clear whether this failure was the result of random misfortune or the result of Confucius straying from the ritual script by building a tomb incongruent with those of antiquity. The Liji (Record of Ritual)--one of the most significant, yet least studied, texts of Confucianism--poses many of these situations and suggests that the line between preventable and unpreventable failures of ritual is not always clear. Ritual performance, in this view, is a performance of risk. It entails rendering oneself vulnerable to the agency of others; and resigning oneself to the need to vary from the successful rituals of past, thereby moving into untested and uncertain territory. Ing's book is the first monograph in English about the Liji--a text that purports to be the writings of Confucius' immediate disciples, and part of the earliest canon of Confucian texts called ''The Five Classics,'' included in the canon several centuries before the Analects. It challenges some common assumptions of contemporary interpreters of Confucian ethics--in particular the assumption that a cultivated ritual agent is able to recognize which failures are within his sphere of control to prevent and thereby render his happiness invulnerable to ritual failure.

Random House Inc
2020

In this "wonderfully rich" (San Francisco Chronicle) novel from the author of the internationally bestselling The Oracle of Stamboul, a young man journeys from California to Cairo to unravel centuries-old family secrets. "This book is a joy."--Rabih Alameddine, author of the National Book Award finalist An Unnecessary Woman WINNER OF: THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION'S SOPHIE BRODY AWARD - THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD IN FICTION - THE SAMI ROHR PRIZE FOR JEWISH LITERATURE - Named One of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the BBC - Longlisted for the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association Fiction Prize - A Penguin Random House International One World, One Book Selection - Honorable Mention for the Middle East Book Award Joseph, a literature student at Berkeley, is the son of a Jewish mother and a Muslim father. One day, a mysterious package arrives on his doorstep, pulling him into a mesmerizing adventure to uncover the centuries-old history that binds the two sides of his family. From the storied Ibn Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo, where generations of his family served as watchmen, to the lives of British twin sisters Agnes and Margaret, who in 1897 leave Cambridge on a mission to rescue sacred texts that have begun to disappear from the synagogue, this tightly woven multigenerational tale illuminates the tensions that have torn communities apart and the unlikely forces that attempt to bridge that divide. Moving and richly textured, The Last Watchman of Old Cairo is a poignant portrait of the intricate relationship between fathers and sons, and an unforgettable testament to the stories we inherit and the places we are from. Praise for The Last Watchman of Old Cairo "A beautiful, richly textured novel, ambitious and delicately crafted, The Last Watchman of Old Cairo is both a coming-of-age story and a family history, a wide-ranging book about fathers and sons, religion, magic, love, and the essence of storytelling. This book is a joy."--Rabih Alameddine, author of the National Book Award finalist An Unnecessary Woman "Lyrical, compassionate and illuminating."--BBC "Michael David Lukas has given us an elegiac novel of Cairo--Old Cairo and modern Cairo.

Pastoralist Landscapes and Social Interaction in Bronze Age Eurasia

Pastoralist Landscapes and Social Interaction in Bronze Age Eurasia

Michael David Frachetti

University of California Press
2009
sidottu
Offering a fresh archaeological interpretation, this work reconceptualizes the Bronze Age prehistory of the vast Eurasian steppe during one of the most formative and innovative periods of human history. Michael D. Frachetti combines an analysis of newly documented archaeological sites in the Koksu River valley of eastern Kazakhstan with detailed paleoecological and ethnohistorical data to illustrate patterns in land use, settlement, burial, and rock art. His investigation illuminates the practical effect of nomadic strategies on the broader geography of social interaction and suggests a new model of local and regional interconnection in the third and second millennia B.C.E. Frachetti further argues that these early nomadic communities played a pivotal role in shaping enduring networks of exchange across Eurasia.

Crucibles of Power

Crucibles of Power

Michael David-Fox

HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025
sidottu
An illuminating new history of World War II–era Smolensk, a region at the crossroads of the two great dictatorships of the twentieth century.During the Cold War, the Smolensk Archive held the only collection of Communist Party documents available to Western scholars, becoming the foundation for generations of scholarship on Soviet history. Crucibles of Power returns to the Smolensk Region with fresh eyes and fresh sources. Prizewinning historian Michael David-Fox traces the experiences of Smolensk residents between the interwar years and the end of World War II, a period during which the city and region passed from Stalinist rule to Nazi occupation and back. The result is a revelatory examination of choice and power under dueling forms of murderous totalitarianism.Exploring the life-and-death decisions of a fascinating cast of characters—from young women in the Communist Youth League to a defense lawyer during Stalin’s Great Terror who became Smolensk’s collaborationist mayor during the German occupation—David-Fox shows how deeply the Stalinist and Nazi regimes relied on the cooptation of average citizens motivated by greed and need, but always within the orbit of ideology. Challenging today’s Russian nationalist narrative of heroic WWII resistance, he finds that large numbers of Russians aided the Nazi occupation of Smolensk in order to protect themselves, secure their own self-interest, or pursue vendettas against a Soviet state they found no less corrupt or oppressive than its German foe.At a time when much of the world is tilting away from liberal democracy and toward authoritarianism, Crucibles of Power masterfully unravels the threads of dictatorial rule. Smolensk emerges as a laboratory for understanding the mechanics of both outright coercion and subtler forms of power, as well as the enabling behavior of ordinary citizens acquiescing to extraordinary crimes.

Headline Review
2011
pokkari
THE ORACLE OF STAMBOUL is a magical historical novel about an astonishing eight-year-old girl in the last days of the Ottoman Empire.It is 1877, on the shores of the Black Sea, and the omens for the newborn Eleonora Cohen are hardly promising. Not only does her mother die in childbirth, but her village is being attacked by the Tsar's Royal Cavalry. However, despite this bad beginning, a sour stepmother and a traumatic journey in the hold of a ship, young Eleonora grows into a remarkably clever but very engaging child. And when a heartbreaking tragedy leaves her marooned in Istanbul, where spies and boarded-up harems and sudden death are as much a part of life as delicious spices, Paris fashions and rosewater, it is Eleonora's extraordinary courage and character which lead her straight to the Sultan's court, and to her salvation.

Reconstructing the Campus

Reconstructing the Campus

Michael David Cohen

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA PRESS
2026
pokkari
The Civil War transformed American life. Not only did thousands of men die on battlefields and millions of slaves become free; cultural institutions reshaped themselves in the context of the war and its aftermath. The first book to examine the Civil War's immediate and long-term impact on higher education, Reconstructing the Campus begins by tracing college communities' responses to the secession crisis and the outbreak of war. Students made supplies for the armies or left campus to fight. Professors joined the war effort or struggled to keep colleges open. The Union and Confederacy even took over some campuses for military use. Then moving beyond 1865, the book explores the war's long-term effects on colleges. Michael David Cohen argues that the Civil War and the political and social conditions the war created prompted major reforms, including the establishment of a new federal role in education. Reminded by the war of the importance of a well-trained military, Congress began providing resources to colleges that offered military courses and other practical curricula. Congress also, as part of a general expansion of the federal bureaucracy that accompanied the war, created the Department of Education to collect and publish data on education. For the first time, the U.S. government both influenced curricula and monitored institutions. The war posed special challenges to Southern colleges. Often bereft of students and sometimes physically damaged, they needed to rebuild. Some took the opportunity to redesign themselves into the first Southern universities. They also admitted new types of students, including the poor, women, and, sometimes, formerly enslaved blacks. Thus, while the Civil War did great harm, it also stimulated growth, helping, especially in the South, to create our modern system of higher education.
