Alexander Pantages was 13 when he arrived in the U.S. in the 1880s, after contracting malaria in Panama. He opened his first motion picture theater in 1902 and went on to build one of the largest and most important independently-owned theater chains in the country. At the height of the Pantages Theaters' reach, he owned or operated 78 theaters across the U.S. and Canada. He amassed a fortune, yet he could not read or write English. In 1929 he was convicted of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old dancer--a scandal that destroyed his empire and reduced him to a pariah. The day his grandest theater, the Pantages Hollywood, opened in 1930, he lay sick in a jailhouse infirmary. His conviction was overturned a year later after an appeal to the California State Supreme Court, but the question remains: How should history judge this theater pioneer, wealthy magnate and embodiment of the American Dream?

This volume examines the least known of the major units in the European theater, General Jacob L. Devers' 6th Army Group. Under General Devers' leadership, two armies, the U.S. Seventh Army under General Alexander M. Patch and the First French Army led by General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, landing on the Mediterranean coast near Marseille in August 1944, cleared the enemy out of southern France and then turned east and joined with army groups under Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery and General Omar N. Bradley in the final assault on Germany. In detailing the campaign of these Riviera-based armies, the authors have concentrated on the operational level of war, paying special attention to the problems of joint, combined, and special operations and to the significant roles of logistics, intelligence, and personnel policies in these endeavors. They have also examined in detail deception efforts at the tactical and operational levels, deep battle penetrations, river-crossing efforts, combat in built-up areas, and tactical innovations at the combined arms level. Such concepts are of course very familiar to today's military students, and the fact that this volume examines them in such detail makes this study especially valuable to younger officers and noncommissioned officers. In truth, the challenges faced by military commanders half a century ago were hardly unique. That is why I particularly urge today's military students, who might well face some of these same problems in future combat, to study this campaign so that they might learn from their illustrious predecessors in the profession of arms.

Dietz Otto Edzard legt hier sein großes Überblickswerk über die ältesten Hochkulturen der Menschheit vor. Seine Geschichte Mesopotamiens zwischen dem 4. Jahrtausend vor Chr. und dem 1. Jahrhundert nach Chr. umfaßt Politik, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Religion so bedeutender Völker wie der Sumerer, Akkader, Assyrer und Babylonier. In Mesopotamien, dem Land zwischen Euphrat und Tigris, stand - ebenso wie in Ägypten - die Wiege der Zivilisation. Hier entstanden vor mehr als 5000 Jahren die ältesten Hochkulturen der Menschheit. Hier wurde die Schrift erfunden, die auf Ton geschriebene Keilschrift. Die Keilschrifttafeln, die in gewaltiger, noch längst nicht voll erschlossener Fülle erhalten geblieben sind, bilden ein lebendiges und facettenreiches Mosaik der Geschichte, Literatur, Gesellschaft und Kultur des Alten Orients. Dieses Mosaik hat der bekannte Altorientalist Dietz Otto Edzard zusammengesetzt zu einer informationsreichen und faszinierenden Gesamtdarstellung. Edzard erläutert die Voraussetzungen und Anfänge der Kulturen des Zweistromlandes und bietet einen Überblick über die Geschichte der einzelnen Staaten in Sumer, Akkad, Ur, Elam, Assur, Urartu und Babylonien und all ihrer konfliktreichen Beziehungen untereinander. Er beschreibt auch die Grundzüge ihrer Götterwelt und ihrer religiösen Vorstellungen, ihres Rechtswesens und ihrer Wirtschaft. Schließlich resümiert er den Niedergang der alten Reiche, den Aufstieg der Perser bis zum Sieg Alexanders des Großen über Dareios III. und dem Verschwinden der Keilschrift im ersten Jahrhundert der römischen Kaiserzeit.

The Rothaug Brothers worked mainly in decorative paintings, especially for the theater and the opera, with a predilection for Classical mythology and German legends.

General Alexander P. Stewart (1821-1908) has garnered little attention from historians. In this biography, Sam Davis Elliott removes Stewart from the shadows of history by tracing the life of this influential general, providing the first in-depth analysis of his critical role in the Civil War's western theater. A West Point graduate, Stewart served in the Army of Tennessee from its days as the Tennessee Provisional Army in 1861 to its final surrender in April 1865. He participated in nearly all the battles the army fought - including those at Belmont, Shiloh, Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, New Hope Church, and Spring Hill, and during the Atlanta campaign - rising from the rank of major to lieutenant general. Always a gallant fighter and a calm, confident leader, "Old Straight" - as he was soon known for his steadfastness in battle - took over General Leonidas Polk's command when Polk was killed near Marietta, Georgia, and eventually led the Army of Tennessee's battered remnant in its final stand against William Tecumseh Sherman at Bentonville. At the war's end, Stewart was the ranking Confederate officer from Tennessee, and at the time of his death in 1908 he was the ranking Confederate survivor. More than the story of one man, Soldier of Tennessee conveys the triumphs and failures of the Confederate effort in the West and a divided nation's efforts at reconciliation. As Elliott demonstrates, both the Volunteer State and the Army of Tennessee may have had more flamboyant soldiers fight under their banners, but none was more constant than "Old Straight."

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline' is a BDSM-themed erotic comic strip created by American artist John Willie (John Alexander Scott Coutts). The comics, which were first published in the 1940s and 1950s, became iconic within the fetish subculture. The series follows the adventures of Sweet Gwendoline, a naïve and innocent young woman who frequently finds herself in compromising and perilous situations. Gwendoline is for the most part portrayed as a damsel in distress, captured or restrained by various antagonists, only to be rescued-or sometimes further entrapped-by other characters. The stories delve into themes of bondage, fetishism, and power dynamics, with Gwendoline's innocence sharply contrasting against the more worldly and often sinister figures who surround her.

In this charming autobiography, Frederick Alexander McDonald (1908-2002) recalls personal adventures and observations with remarkable detail for events that span the 20th Century. Beginning with his days growing up on Seattle's Capital Hill, Frederick enjoyed an epicurean life filled with theater, film, travel, fine dining, the outdoors, and most of all, an exploration of the universe around him.

This experience, combined with his work around the globe, including the Pacific, Europe and Africa gave him an international perspective on life. Everywhere he went, he took an interest in people and their stories. In this book, Frederick shares many of these stories along with his ideas and observations from childhood through the twilight of his life. Visit www.rememberedlight.org for more information.
