Beschreibung

In "The History of Duelling (Vol. 1 & 2)," J. G. Millingen provides a comprehensive and meticulously researched account of the practice and cultural significance of duelling across various societies and historical periods. With an engaging narrative style, Millingen deftly intertwines anecdotes, legal perspectives, and philosophical musings, revealing duelling as not merely a violent pastime, but as a complex ritual steeped in notions of honor, social status, and morality. The work reflects the Enlightenment's fascination with human behavior and societal norms, calling attention to the psychological and ethical dimensions that have historically governed the practice of duelling. J. G. Millingen, an accomplished physician and author, presents this work drawing on his extensive knowledge of human nature and societal constructs. His background in medicine and psychology, coupled with his acute awareness of the social mores of his time, informs his critical exploration of the motivations behind duelling. By situating the practice within a broader discourse of honor and ethical conduct, Millingen highlights the intersection of personal and societal dynamics that contributed to the prevalence of duelling in his era. For scholars of social history, literature, or ethics, Millingen's "The History of Duelling" is an invaluable resource that illuminates the intricate relationship between individual agency and societal expectations. As an essential reference for understanding the evolution of honor culture, this text invites readers to reflect on the implications of duelling in contemporary discussions of conflict resolution and personal integrity.

    A defense of the dying art of losing an afternoon—and gaining new appreciation—amidst the bins and shelves of bricks-and-mortar shops. 
    Written during the pandemic, when the world was marooned at home and consigned to scrolling screens, On Browsing’s essays chronicle what we’ve lost through online shopping, streaming, and the relentless digitization of culture. The latest in the Field Notes series, On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person, and a love letter to the dying practice of scanning bookshelves, combing CD bins, and losing yourself in the stacks.

    Bird Watching - Bird watching, also known as birding, is a recreational activity where individuals observe and study birds in their natural habitats. It can range from casual observation in one's backyard to more serious pursuits involving travel to specific locations to see rare or interesting bird species. 
    Genealogy - Genealogy delves into the complex web of family relationships and historical contexts that shape individual and collective identities. It often begins with an inquiry into one's own family background, such as understanding the origins and branches of one’s family tree. Researchers use various resources, including birth, marriage, and death records, census data, military records, and immigration documents, to trace the lineage and connections of family members across generations. 
    Larping - Live Action Role Playing, commonly known as LARP, is a form of role-playing game where participants embody their characters physically and interact within a structured narrative. Unlike traditional tabletop role-playing games, LARP involves players dressing in costumes, using props, and engaging in live-action scenarios that unfold in real-time.

    This is a book with 3 different topics, all related to the 18th and 19th century history of Germany. The topics are the following: 
    Otto von Bismarck: Otto, Prince of Bismarck, Count of Bismarck-Schönhausen, Duke of Lauenburg, was a conservative German statesman, diplomat, and author who was born Junker Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck. Bismarck supervised Germany's unification in 1871 and functioned as its first chancellor till 1890, throughout which time he ruled Europe for 20 years. 
    The Unification of Germany: The Unification of Germany had a significant impact on the whole country, the empire, and the decades after that. It was the inauguration for Germany into the 20th century, and the dreaded World War I and World War II that were partially consequences of that unification. 
    On January 18th, 1871, in the Palace of Versailles in France, Germany was lawfully merged into the German Empire, a Prussia-dominated country state with federal components. Throughout the Franco-Prussian War, princes of German countries assembled there to declare King Wilhelm I of Prussia Emperor of the German Empire. 
    The Weimar Republic: To summarize everything about this topic, the Weimar Republic was a disaster. Perhaps the setup of the republic wasn’t as much as fault as just the world events that led to the Great Depression, the eventual surrender of Germany to France, Russia, and England in World War I before that, and other significant changes in the economy at the time. 
    Do you want to buy a few eggs with thousands of marks? How about a loaf of bread for ten thousand dollars? The inflation in the Weimar Republic led to a severe economic downturn, one that had probably never been there ever before. This led to other problems, which also explained the rise of Nazi Germany somewhat later.
