The Dodo and its Kindred

pokkari
Well versed in natural history, particularly geology and ornithology, Hugh Edwin Strickland (1811–53) became fascinated by the dodo and mankind's influence on its extinction. Seeking to investigate this flightless bird and other extinct species from islands in the Indian Ocean, he invited the comparative anatomist Alexander Gordon Melville (1819–1901) to help him separate myth from reality. Divided into two sections, this 1848 monograph begins with Strickland's evaluation of the evidence, including historical reports as well as paintings and sketches, many of which are reproduced. Melville then analyses the osteology of the dodo and Rodrigues solitaire, describing his findings from dissections of the few available specimens and making comparisons with similar species. A seminal work, it correctly concluded that the dodo was more closely related to pigeons than vultures, and the book also inspired others to take up the search for new fossil evidence.

From Bismarck to Adenauer: Aspects of German Statecraft is a historical account written by Gordon Alexander Craig that explores the evolution of German statecraft from the time of Otto von Bismarck to Konrad Adenauer. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a particular period in German history.The first part of the book covers the period from 1871 to 1914, which saw the creation of the German Empire under Bismarck's leadership. Craig examines the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to the rise of Germany as a major power in Europe.The second part of the book covers the period from 1914 to 1945, which saw Germany's defeat in World War I, the rise of the Nazi Party, and the devastation of World War II. Craig explores the factors that led to Germany's downfall, including the Treaty of Versailles, the Great Depression, and Hitler's aggressive foreign policy.The final part of the book covers the period from 1945 to 1963, which saw the rebuilding of Germany after World War II under the leadership of Konrad Adenauer. Craig examines the challenges that Adenauer faced, including the division of Germany and the Cold War, and how he was able to navigate these challenges to establish a democratic and prosperous Germany.Throughout the book, Craig provides a detailed analysis of the key figures, events, and policies that shaped German statecraft during these periods. He also explores the broader historical context, including the impact of world events such as the two World Wars and the Cold War on Germany's development.
