This book explores the influence of Helmuth von Moltke, Germany's Chief of the General Staff between 1906 and 1914. Based largely on previously-unknown primary sources, it shows that Moltke's influence on the Kaiser and on Germany's political decision-making to have been decisive, helping to foster an increasingly confrontational mood. The book also takes issue with the common perception of Moltke as a reluctant military leader, concluding that he was both bellicose and ambitious and played a crucial role in the outbreak of the First World War.

Containing a wealth of material on a variety of subjects, Light for the New Millennium tells the story of the meeting of two great men and their continuing relationship beyond the threshold of death: Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925)―the seer, scientist of the spirit, and cultural innovator―and Helmuth von Moltke (1848-1916)―a renowned military man, Chief of the General Staff of the German army during the outbreak of World War I.In 1914, following disagreements with the Kaiser, Moltke was dismissed from his post. This led to a great inner crisis in the General, that in turn drew him closer to Steiner. When Moltke died two years later, Steiner maintained contact with his excarnated soul, receiving communications that he passed on to Moltke’s wife, Eliza. These remarkable and unique messages are reproduced here in full, together with relevant letters from the General to his wife. The various additional commentaries, essays and documents give insights to themes of continuing significance for our time, including the workings of evil; karma and reincarnation; life after death; the new millennium and the end of the last century; the hidden causes of World War I; the destiny of Europe, and the future of Rudolf Steiner’s science of the spirit.Also included are Moltke’s private reflections on the causes of the Great War ("the document that could have changed world history"), a key interview with Steiner for Le Matin, an introduction and notes by T. H. Meyer, and studies by Jürgen von Grone, Jens Heisterkamp and Johannes Tautz.

Die griechischen Tempel und Heiligtumer sind noch in ihren Ruinen Zeugen eines religiosen Lebens von einzigartigem Glanz und ungemeiner Vielfalt. Dieses Buch zeigt die Denkmaler der hellenischen Welt: als Zentrum das heutige Griechenland; im Osten "Ionien", die kleinasiatische Kuste; im Westen "Grossgriechenland", die reichen Koloniestadte in Suditalien. Es will Reisenden, Laien und Studenten verstandlich korrekte Auskunft vor dem Monument und am Schreibtisch geben. Der Text wurde vollig dem Stand der Forschung angepasst und mit uber 50 Abbildungen erweitert. Dabei ergeben sich neue und spannende Perspektiven, z.B. zur Entstehung des Peripteros, der Leitform der griechischen Architektur (Peripteroi in Mazaraki bei Patras, in Ephesos und in Metropolis in Thessalien). Auch die bisher kaum bekannte Architekturlandschaft der Kykladen konnte erstmals geschlossen dargestellt werden. Uber die Bauten der Akropolis sind grundlegende neue Forschungen zu berichten, ebenso uber die Tempel Grossgriechenlands und Ioniens. Der handliche Band verspricht eine erweiterte Begegnung mit der griechischen Baukunst, die das Fundament unserer eigenen Architektur bildet.

The Prussian Army invented the systems of modern war, and Helmuth von Moltke was the first modern war planner. His accomplishment was to develop, bring to fruition and validate-in the three wars of German unification against Denmark (1864), Austria (1865

The Prussian army invented modern war processes, and Helmuth von Moltke (1800 - 1891) was the first modern war planner. His accomplishment was to develop, bring to fruition and validate the war processes invented during his lifetime. In this book, Bucholz examines Moltke's work and the processes he utilised in each of the three wars of German unification: against Denmark (1864), Austria (1865) and France (1870-71).Moltke's achievements have become a legacy for modern military strategists. The procedures he developed have been used in all of the wars of the twentieth century - the Persian Gulf War of 1991 may be its most interesting example - beacuse they respond to the size, space, time and technology mandates of industrial mass warfare. This book describes and analyzes these developments in a unique way, by using organisational, knowledge and learning theory, by looking closely at Moltke's life as a professional soldier and by bringing little-known research in the field to a wider audience.

Field Marshal Helmuth Graf von Moltke is best known for his direction of the German/Prussian campaigns against Austria in 1866 and France in 1870-71, yet it was during his service as chief of the General Staff that he laid the foundation for the German way of war which would continue through 1945.Professor Daniel Hughes of the Air War College, in addition to editing and assisting with the translation of this selection of Moltke's thoughts and theories on the art of war, has written an insightful commentary on "Moltke the Elder" that places him in the broader context of Prussian and military thought. Hughes notes that Moltke's writings helped shape the practical application of influential Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz's sometimes abstract philosophical ideas.The book also contains an extensive bibliographic and historiographic commentary that includes references to Moltke and his theories in the current literature in Germany, England, and the United States - a valuable aid to anyone doing research on the subject.This volume, in addition to its appeal to scholars, serves as an introduction to the theory of the German army, as well as a summary of Moltke's enduring theoretical legacy.

Die Rolle von Fischen im Alten Agypten ist nicht ganz frei von Widerspruchen: Waren sie wichtigstes Nahrungsmittel seit vorgeschichtlicher Zeit, fehlten sie doch in den Totenopferlisten und auf den Speisetischen der Tempel; einerseits wurden sie als Feinde bei den grossten Gotterfesten zertrampelt und verbrannt, andererseits durften sie als "bwt" weder gegessen noch beruhrt werden. Solche Fischtabus, die in den kalendarischen Listen des Neuen Reiches bereits angedeutet werden, haben keine Allgemeingultigkeit. Sie sind auf bestimmte Fischarten beschrankt, das heisst dort gultig, wo Fische als heilige Tiere bestimmten Gottheiten zugesellt sind. Ihre Rolle als Helfer des Re und des Osiris liess daruber hinaus einzelne Arten zu Beschutzern des Toten werden, zum Teil sogar als dessen Garanten der Wiederbelebung und Wiedergeburt.
