In August 1914, Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz convinced the German armed forces to create a new unit, called the MarineDivision Flandern, to garrison the Belgian coastline and prepare naval bases in for the implementation of a naval guerrilla war against Great Britain. The Germans called their strategy Kleinkrieg, or little war, and they intended to whittle away at British naval superiority by using their submarines and destroyers. Later expanded into the MarineKorps, the unit soon found itself in the middle of a land war as well. What had been intended as a garrison unit found itself on the frontlines when the war stalemated.The British had traditionally seen Belgium as a dagger pointed at the throat of England, and the Royal Navy feared what use the Germans might make of the position. The result was an active naval campaign in the English Channel. Karau brings to light the contributions of the MarineKorps Flandern, a force often neglected by historians. He examines the role of the MarineKorps in both land and naval wars and reaffirms the increasingly important role played by aircraft in the Flanders theater. If Belgium was a weapon pointed at the British throat, were the Germans properly equipped to wield the dagger?

Neuware -Vor 500 Jahren brach Albrecht Dürer in die Niederlande, das heutige Flandern, auf. Ein in zwei frühen Abschriften überliefertes 'Tagebuch' führt die Stationen, Begegnungen, aber auch Kosten der Reise auf - eine überaus wertvolle Quelle zu Dürer und zur Kulturgeschichte der Renaissance. Dürer verband mit der Reise wirtschaftliche Interessen; er suchte aber auch vielfältige Kontakte zu Künstlern, Bewunderern und Käufern seiner Werke. Schließlich war er neugierig auf das ihm fremde Land und reiste auch als Tourist. Der Nürnberger zeichnete Bauwerke, Porträts und fertigte Kostümstudien - das eine zur eigenen Erinnerung, das andere für den direkten Verkauf.Was hat Dürer auf seiner Reise gesehen Wie sehen diese Orte, von der Zollstelle am Rhein bis zu den Kathedralen in Aachen und Antwerpen, heute aus Wie hat er die fremde Umgebung wahrgenommen Was erregte seine Aufmerksamkeit, was hat ihn geärgert Erstmals wird Dürers Reiseweg auf der Grundlage aller Bild- und Textzeugnisse umfassend nachgezeichnet.Neueste Forschungsergebnisse bieten überraschende Einblicke in eine außergewöhnliche Künstlerreise. 316 pp. Deutsch

Tom Van Flandern's book adds a new dimension to cosmology--not only does it present a novel approach to timeless issues, it stands up to the closest scientific scrutiny. Even the most respected scientists today will readily admit that the Big Bang Theory is full of holes. But it takes a new look, like Dark Matter, Missing Planets, and New Comets, to explain not only why the theory is wrong but what to substitute in its place. If you are curious about such things as the nature of matter and the origin of the solar system, but feel inadequately equipped to grasp what modern science has to say about such things, read this book. You will not get the all too common condescending attempt to water down the `mysteries' of modern science into a form intelligible to little non scientist you, but rather a straightforward new theory, logically derived in front of your eyes, which challenges the roots of many of today's complex accepted paradigms, yet whose essence is simple enough to be thoroughly communicated to the intelligent layman without "losing it in the translation."

Neuware -Die Erlebnisse Ernst Jüngers vom Januar 1915 bis zum August 1918 an der Westfront spiegeln sich in den »Stahlgewittern« wieder: vom Grabenkrieg in der Champagne und der Schlacht bei Cambrai bis hin zu den Stoßtruppunternehmen in Flandern und zuletzt der Verleihung des Ordens Pour le mérite nach seiner Verwundung.»'In Stahlgewittern' machte ihn zum Helden einer Generation junger Offiziere, die alles gegeben hatten und am Ende bestenfalls das Eiserne Kreuz davontrugen. Gide pries es als 'das schönste Kriegsbuch, das ich je las.' Tatsächlich ähnelt es keinem anderen Buch der damaligen Zeit - keine Spur von den pastoralen Meditationen eines Siegfried Sassoon oder Edmund Blunden, kein Anflug von Feigheit wie bei Hemingway, kein Masochismus wie bei T. E. Lawrence und kein Mitleid wie bei Remarque.«Bruce ChatwinDer Text dieser Ausgabe folgt Ernst Jüngers Fassung letzter Hand in den Sämtlichen Werken in 22 Bänden. 312 pp. Deutsch
