2003BN27057Knesebeck 2003. 2003. Hardcover. 344 x 274 x 24 cm. Zwischen Juli 1945 und November 1962 testeten die USA 216 Atomwaffen in der Wüste Nevadas und im Pazifik. Ihr radioaktiver Fallout schädigte vor allem die eigene Bevölkerung machte aber auch das Bikini-Atoll unbewohnbar. Welcher Schaden an Mensch und Natur im Namen wissenschaftlicher und militärischer Interessen tatsächlich angerichtet wurde lässt sich auch nach Öffnung der Archive nur erahnen. In 100 Sonnen dokumentiert Michael Light das Unbeschreibliche anhand vormals geheimer Aufnahmen aus den Archiven in Los Alamos Mryland und aus der Lookout Mountain Air Force Station in Hollywood. Er lässt die Bilder der explodierenden Atombomben und der fassungslosen Augenzeugen für sich sprechen und führt so die menschliche Hybris vor Augen die zur Entwicklung und zum Einsatz solcher Waffen führte. Die eindringliche Sprache der Bilder ergänzt Michael Light durch eine Zeittafel zur Entwicklung der Nuklearwaffen und eine Beschreibung der Tests und ihrer fatalen Folgen. das Buch ist damit ein einzigartiges Dokument das die latente Bedrohung bewusst macht die Atomwaffen auch nach Ende des Kalten Krieges darstellen. Sie erscheinen in den frühen Morgenstunden. Ihr Auftritt findet im Freien statt. Spektakulär und von bizarrer Schönheit. Doch der wahre Charakter von Harry Priscilla oder Mike ist heimtückisch bösartig und todbringend. Denn was sich hinter den harmlosen Namen verbirgt sind Atomexplosionen. Durchgeführt im Rahmen oberirdischer Atomtests. In den Jahren 1945 bis 1962. Von Menschen für Menschen. 216 Mal in Amerika. 217 Mal in der Sowjetunion. Michael Lights Bildband 100 Sonnen dokumentiert hundert der amerikanischen Atomexplosionen. Die Bilder stammen großteils von Abzügen aus den U.S. National Archives. Sie halten den Moment der Explosion oder den unmittelbar darauf folgenden Moment fest. Der Atompilz -- trauriges Zeichen unfassbarer menschlicher Barbarei. Abwehr -- instinktive Reaktion jedes klar denkenden Wesens. Und dennoch ist es wichtig sich dieser Ungeheuerlichkeit zu stellen. Lights klare und präzise Kommentare zu Hintergründen amerikanischer Atomtests sowie seine ebenso sorgfältigen wie ausführlichen Legenden zu den einzelnen Explosionen erlauben eine Annäherung an das Unbegreifliche. Eine Zeittafel belegt den Irrsinn des Rüstungswettlaufs. Die zum Teil doppelseitigen Schwarz-Weiß- und Farbfotos in diesem herausragenden Bildband im Format von ca. 35 x 28 cm sind in zwei große Kapitel "Wüste" und "Ozean" eingeteilt. Präsentiert auf schwarzem Grund nur begleitet von Angaben zu Name Sprengkraft Ort und Zeit der Explosion. Lapidarer Minimalismus der die Unfassbarkeit dieser Ereignisse vorzüglich herausarbeitet. Glühende Feuerbälle magentafarbene Schleier Wolkenkaskaden am heraufblauenden Morgenhimmel -- das Widernatürliche bietet ein faszinierendes Naturschauspiel. Am bedrückendsten wohl die Aufnahmen von Soldaten Schaulustigen Unwissenden die -- oftmals in viel zu geringer Entfernung -- den Explosionen beiwohnen.

1934000530Borden Hants Hampshire England. Good. 1934. Original Wraps. On offer is a handwritten notebook-style instruction manual as titled on the cover "Fencing Lessons Foil - Sabre - Epee". The inside front cover has a pastedown fully identifying the writer: "Serjeant T. Wells of the 1st BATTALION OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY. 19th Sept. to 13th Dec. 1934. Instructors Gartzen and Harkinson". An Index of the 67 page book shows that besides the lessons in the three sword types there are chapters on the Army Fencing Union Pitches and Arenas and Bayonet Team Competitions. We are led to believe that this book is also a manual for the Instructor trainee as most pages have three columns headed: Pupil Master Remarks. The remarks appear to be helpful hints for the Instructor in dealing with the pupil. There are a number of hand drawn illustrations including charts tables graphs and such plus there are quite a few little. 1.5" x 1" photographs which were cut from elsewhere and glued in as part of the lesson. In addition to the identification on the cover and inside front cover the back cover has Sjt. Wells handwritten address being we believe Bordon Hants Hampshire. Boards are cracked in the hinges and the netting shows but otherwise in very good shape. Provenance: From the library of a famed Hungarian fencing master instructor Olympian and coach.
