"The postwar era led to a threefold population increase in Salt Lake County between 1940 and 1980 and brought with it a building boom largely concentrated in Salt Lake City. Office towers reached farther toward the sky, college campuses grew outward to accommodate the influx of students on the GI Bill, religious facilities were built for a diversifying population, and arenas and theaters were constructed for people enjoying their newly discovered leisure time. This building boom was anchored in Modernism, an architectural movement defined by rationalism and functionalism. Modernism first caught hold in large American cities then proliferated to the rest of the country in more provincial cities like Salt Lake. This book explores the lasting impression of Modernism on Salt Lake's built environment and highlights projects by both homegrown architects as well as architects from farther afield practicing in the burgeoning city."--Publisher marketing.

"Vive la Sociale": This rousing, revolutionary statement, written on a bright red banner across the top of James Ensor's Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889, served as a visual manifesto and call to action by the Belgian artist (1860-1949), one that announced with an insistent, public voice the centrality of his art practice to the cultural discourse of modern Belgium. This provocative declaration serves as the title for this new study of Ensor's art focusing on its social discourse and the artist's interaction with and at times satirical encounter with his contemporary milieu. Rather than the alienated and traumatized Expressionist given preference in modern art history, Ensor is presented here as an artist of agency and purpose whose art practice engaged the issues and concerns of middle class Belgian life, society and politics and was informed by the values and class, race and gendered perspectives of his time. Ensor's radical vision and oppositional strategy of resistance, self-fashioning and performance remains relevant. This book with its timely, nuanced reading of the art and career of this often misunderstood "artist's artist", invites a re-evaluation not only of Ensor's social context and expressive critique but also his unique contribution to modernist art practice.

Jeanne Mammen's watercolour images of the gender-bending 'new woman' and her candid portrayals of Berlin's thriving nightlife appeared in some of the most influential magazines of the Weimar Republic and are still considered characteristic of much of the 'glitter' of that era. This book charts how, once the Nazis came into power, Mammen instead created 'degenerate' paintings and collages, translated prohibited French literature and sculpted in clay and plaster-all while hidden away in her tiny studio apartment in the heart of Berlin's fashionable west end. What was it like as a woman artist to produce modern art in Nazi Germany? Can artworks that were never exhibited in public still make valid claims to protest? Camilla Smith examines a wide range of Mammen's dissenting artworks, ranging from those created in solitude during inner emigration to her collaboration with artist cabarets after the Second World War. Smith's engaging analysis compares Mammen's popular Weimar work to her artistic activities under the radar after 1933, in order to fundamentally rethink the moral complexities of inner emigration and its visual culture. While Mammen's artistry is considered through the lens of gender politics to reveal her complex relationship with the urbanisation of her time, this book also highlights the crucial role played by a lost generation of inner émigré women artists as agents of German modernity.The examination of Mammen's life and work demonstrates the crucial role women artists played as both markers and agents of German modernity, but the double marginalisation they have nonetheless encountered as inner émigrés in recent history. It will be of interest to students of German studies, art history, literature, history, gender studies and cultural studies.

This is the true story of how a multinational crew coalesced to locate ten World War II aircraft in the Bahamas. They unearthed truths behind pilots from all over who flew and crashed in the sea and on land, or were rescued by persons on remote islands. The story starts with the author finding the wreck of a B-26 Marauder that he had been seeking since his teens. Now in middle age, nevertheless friends, family and strangers pitch in their boats, homes, time and expertise. Guided by fishermen, a minister, policemen, and teachers, small teams of volunteers found wrecks undisturbed for nearly a century.Over 100 volunteers solved the fates of fighters, amphibians, a Wright Brothers aircraft from 1930, bombers and blimps. The teams roved from Hard Bargain to the vast empty which is the Great Bahama Bank to Cay Sal Bank. Astoundingly, three aircraft were found mere yards from resorts and clubs. These seekers of bombers on a budget lived and grounded their boats by the maxim: our boat is so deep, yet these waters are not. Cut, bruised, and blinded in one eye, they did not give up. In 2021 the author knew next to nothing about warplane types, and may have quit. In 2023 he will be the keynote speaker at the annual gathering of the largest B-26 Marauder group in the world; on an airfield. This is the unlikely story of how that happened.This is Eric Wiberg's 45th book. When ashore, he lives in Boston with his son Felix.

Let him take you back in time to that moment when the future of the world and every life in it hung in precarious balance."¿ William Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Cape Cod and Bound for Gold"Well-written and touching saga of life in Maine during WW2."¿ Eoin Dempsey, Amazon bestselling author of Finding Rebecca and White Rose Black Forest

Además de un himno pacifista, en el que la mujer y la madre adquieren un papel protagónico al cuestionar el orden patriarcal y nefasto de la guerra, Mientras los hombres mueren (1953) es un poemario trascendental y apenas conocido de Carmen Conde. Su análisis, de hecho, permite arrojar luz sobre Mujer sin Edén (1947), obra magna que la consagró definitivamente y que se considera representativa del proceso subversivo del lenguaje bíblico en la lírica escrita por mujeres en la primera mitad del siglo XX. El objetivo prioritario del presente trabajo es llevar a cabo un examen comparativo de ambas colecciones para demostrar, merced a los paralelismos simbólicos, estilísticos y temáticos, que la primera no sólo puede considerarse cámara germinadora de motivos poéticos y recursos retóricos de la segunda, sino también pieza clave para comprender la edificación de la conciencia femenina de la autora.

Drawing on biographical and historical sources, Bessie reimagines the early life of Bess Myerson¿the talented daughter of poor Russian Jewish immigrants¿who, in the bigoted milieu of 1945, remarkably rises to become Miss America.

Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge thematisieren aus unterschiedlicher Perspektive den Einfluss amerikanischer Ideen, Lebenshaltungen und Personen auf die Gesellschaft und Kultur der Weimarer Republik (1918-1933) in Deutschland.Der zeitgenössisch als "Amerikanismus" bezeichnete Trend zeigt sich - sowohl in seiner positiven wie negativen Konnotation - in der Debatte im Feuilleton, findet sich als Sujet in Reiseberichten und Sachbüchern, zeitigt seinen Reflex im Journalismus und der Gestaltung unterhaltender Magazine - und natürlich im Film.Die Aufsätze untersuchen den "Amerikanismus" als Denkfigur, als Moment gesellschaftlicher Selbstreflexion und kultureller Praxis. Darüber hinaus beleuchten sie aber auch die tatsächliche Wirkmacht und in exemplarischer Weise die Vor- und Nachgeschichte im Kaiserreich und zu Zeiten des Nationalsozialismus.

LA PROCESO romano de F. KafkaJosefo K. estis arestata. La cirkonstancoj estas ne nur strangaj, char la arestigo okazas en dormochambro che lia luigantino, ja K. tute ne povas klarigi al si, kion li krimis. Li ankau ne ekscias ion pri tio, sed li trovighas per unu fojo en la proceso. Kelkajn monatojn li iel provas ignori tiun proceson, kaj tamen li trovas certajn helpemulojn: advokaton, pentriston, diversajn inojn kaj aliajn, ghis kiam li fine tamen senpotence devos akcepti sian mortkondamnon en shtonrompejo.Kafka kreis romanon kvazau je la komenco de la literatura modernismo. El groteskaj elementoj, surrealismo kaj timiga superrealeco li kunfandis minace misteran atmosferon de la senpotenco de la individuo, kiu kiel tielnomata kafkaeco eniris en la gheneralan internacian lingvan uzon. La nefinitan romanon Kafka metis flanken en la jaro 1914. Sed lia amiko Maks Brod publikis ghin post la morto de Kafka en la jaro 1925. Kritikistoj komprenis la verkon entuziasme kiel surscenigon de la ekzistanta kondamniteco de la moderna individuo, kiu fakte senkulpe kulpas kaj estas tirata en la malstromon de nereale malraciaj okazajhoj. La proceso estas la plej influa verko de Kafka kaj unu el la plej elstaraj verkoj de la moderna literaturo. Kafka rakontas kiel la chiutaga vivo de Jozefo K. per perforta fremda potenco subite tute shanghighis. Sen scii, kial, arestas lin oficistoj de obskura jughejo je lia trideka naskightago. Kvankam li komence ankorau shercas pri tio, la proceso pli kaj pli okupas lian vivon. Li neglektas sian laboron en la banko kaj kolektigas aliancanojn chirkau si, kiuj tute ne estas utilaj al li en la enigma proceso. Iutage, unu tagon antau sia 31-a naskightago du senditoj de la jughejo forkundukas la bankiston K. kaj poste ekzekutas lin. Kafka sukcesas fascini la leganton per sia hipoteza rakontostilo el miksajho de travivitaj interparoladoj kaj sobra detala priskribado. Tiuj stilrimedoj formis la nocion kafkaeco, kiu celas nedifinitan timon pri hororige absurda potenco.Jam en la jaro 1914 verkis Kafka la libron en vere krea ebriego. Sed ghi estis publikita nur en la jaro 1925, do jaron post la morto de Kafka. La mirinda verko pri minacanta burokrata tribunala mashino, kiu apenau plu racie trapenetreblas, estas ankau pro ties sugestiva lingvo kaj facila legebleco ankorau nun tre shatata unika romano, kiu efikas kiel sagaca komentaro pri nia tielnomata moderna tempo.

The book seeks to correct the anomaly in the theology of prayer among contemporary Christians who have replaced hard work with prayer thereby presenting God as a magician. The book reveals that everything should be subjected to reasonable faith to avoid extreme nihilism and rationalism.There's no conflict between faith and reason as the duo compliment each other. There is the need to strike a balance between Faith, prayer and hard work through rational reasoning.

"The history of the United States Army's 34th Infantry Regiment, from March 1st, 1940 through September 2nd, 1945. The regiment's history is described in a journalistic format, with an emphasis on the 1st Battalion and 'B' Company.

During the five-year period, narratives describe how one was drafted, basic training, unit training, new stations, fighting, killing, being killed/wounded, and finally returning home. All of the valor citations (Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star with Valor) narratives are woven into the day by day and minute by minute narratives. And also sprinkled throughout the pages are other event narratives that directly or indirectly affected the regiment. In addition to all of the regimental narratives, history of the regiment before and after World War II can be found in the Prologue and Epilogue sections.

Nella preparazione dello sbarco in Sicilia del 10 luglio 1943, denominato in codice Operazione "Husky", nel corso della primavera di quell'anno i Comandi d'intelligence britannici misero in atto misure molto elaborate per confondere il nemico circa la data e la destinazione dell'attacco. Tra l'altro, nella speranza di ritardare i rinforzi tedeschi alla Sicilia, di ridurre la minaccia aerea ai loro convogli d'invasione e di tenere le forze navali principali (navi da battaglia e incrociatori) lontane dalla zona della Sicilia, furono fornite ad arte, tramite agenti in nazioni neutrali come il Portogallo e la Spagna, false informazioni. Da parte degli Stati Maggiori delle Forze Armate italiane e dei Comandi tedeschi in Italia, l'operazione di sbarco degli Alleati in Sicilia era attesa. Benito Mussolini, il feldmaresciallo Albert Kesselring e il Capo del Comando Supremo generale Vittorio Ambrosio, nonostante ogni manovra di depistaggio degli angloamericani per ingannare italiani e tedeschi dal reale obiettivo di sbarco in Sicilia, erano convinti che l'invasione sarebbe avvenuta in quella grande isola. Tra le misure di depistaggio la più famosa ed elaborata fu l'operazione "Mincemeat" Glyndwr Michael, un gallese morto per edema polmonare, venne trovato in un obitorio e vestito della divisa militare sotto il nome di un fantomatico "maggiore William Martin dei Royal Marines". La sua morte fu simulata come causata da annegamento, avvenuto mentre si trovava in volo su un aereo che per un incidente sarebbe precipitato in mare presso le coste Atlantiche della Spagna meridionale, con falsi documenti confidenziali che indicavano come obiettivi di uno sbarco la Grecia e probabilmente anche la Sardegna. Il suo cadavere, trasportato da un sommergibile britannico, fu trovato dagli spagnoli sulla spiaggia di Huelva. I documenti che possedeva furono passati dagli spagnoli ad agenti tedeschi, e pervennero a Belino, che subito ne informò Roma. Ma il piano, osannato nei paesi anglosassoni come un successo eccezionale che avrebbe perfino condizionato l'esito della guerra a favore degli alleati, sviando l'attenzione dei tedeschi dal rafforzamento della Sicilia, non andò come essi credevano, tanto farci due film, romanzati e falsi. I Comandi italiani e tedeschi in Italia, a differenza di quanto avveniva a Belino (che inizialmente, in particolare Hitler, credette a quell'inganno), non abboccarono alla macabra messa inscena, come il lettore si accorgerà leggendo questo libro.
