  • Strachan and the Great War: A Lifelong Quest

    Open AccessHolger H HerwigARTICLEWar in History2020

    Sir Hew Strachan of the University of St Andrews is the doyen of World War I studies. He approached his work from a serious multinational, multilingual, and comparative perspective. He was never afraid to challenge well-established interpretations and to add fresh analyses of concepts ranging from total war to trench warfare. He was always keen to include diplomacy, politics, imperialism, industrialization, and the sinews of war in his writings. …

  • The Dynamics of Necessity: German Military Policy during the First World War

    Open AccessHolger H HerwigCHAPTERMilitary Effectiveness2010

    This is a rather traditional historical account. The reader will scan what follows in vain for trendy sociological categorizations. These lie beyond my limited talents. Rather, this chapter seeks to analyze the military activity of Imperial Germany before and during the First World War at the political, strategic, operational, and tactical levels. It wishes neither to eulogize nor to condemn. Both the passage of time and the disappearance of anyt…

    Holger H Herwig, Sylvia L Hilton et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Military History2000

    Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., New York, Wien. This book consists of ten essays focussing on reactions in different parts of Europe to the Spanish-American War of 1898. Largely, the concentration is on the work of journalists, publicists, politicians and other self-conscious framers of public opinion. An attempt is also made to discover how such people gained their information on the War, and then tried to place it in their existing perce…

Beginning with Canada's feeling of Splendid Isolation and Germany's imperial ambitions against North America, the authors' intriguing and graphic account takes us from the early turmoil of federal politics in Canada to the conflict of t…

  • They seem to glide. Are there aerodynamic effects in leaping prosimian primates?

    Brigitte Demes, E Forchap et al.ARTICLEZeitschrift für Morphologie und…1991

    Leaping primates often assume a horizontal position while airborne. When the limbs are spread out in such maneuvers, skin folds between the upper limbs and the trunk are exposed. This has led to the assumption that the animals make use of aerodynamic forces for either gliding, steering, or braking before the landing. In terms of physics, aerodynamic lift or aerodynamic drag can cause the described effects. As coefficients of lift and drag are unk…
