Intended afor a theatre on Mars, with a cast of nearly five-hundred and running to over two-hundred scenes, Karl Krauss apocalyptic tragedy The Last Days of Mankind is the longest, most elaborate play ever written. It is also a biting satirical commentary on the outbreak and subsequent course of World War I. Karl Kraus (1874-1936) ranks as one of the great satirists of 20th-century literature. In 1899 he established his own journal, Die Fackel (The Torch), to adrain the marsh of empty phrase-making. His wide-ranging oeuvre comprises essays, short stories, poetry and aphorisms, and culminated in the five-act play presented here. First published in 1920, The Last Days employs a collage of modernist techniques to evoke a despairing and darkly comical vision of the Great War from the perspective of Krauss hometown, Vienna. At its centre Kraus places a cabal of war mongering press barons and self-serving hacks, whose strategies of mass manipulation he holds responsible for the very atrocities they report on in dispatches, editorials and feuilletons. With this translation of the play in its entirety, Patrick Healy completes the work begun in 2014 when he published the first ever English-language version of the Prologue and Act I in the Kraus anthology In These Great Times: Selected Writings. The present edition includes an introduction and a glossary of names and relevant terms.

"e;Perhaps one day man will [...] see what a small occurrence such a world-war was when set against the spiritual self-mutilation of mankind by its newspapers, and how the war was at bottom just one of its manifestations [...] Allow me to overestimate the press. But if I maintain incorrectly that an epoch which takes the special edition so lightly as the event itself, and with excited nerves takes lies for facts, if it is not true that more blood has flown from telegrams than they claimed to contain, then let this blood be on my hands."e; Karl Kraus was a razor-sharp observer of fin-de-siecle Vienna. His work is inventive, subversive and immensely insightful. In 1899, Kraus established his own journal, Die Fackel (The Torch), and set out 'to drain the marsh of empty phrase-making', aiming his satire at favourite targets such as the press, psychoanalysis and Zionism. According to Kraus, much of the social and political divide in Vienna - where the issue of immigration was leading to mounting tensions and a virulent rise in anti-Semitism - was caused by the mass-circulation of the press, whose manipulation of public opinion by means of a language made up of mangled cliches and hackneyed phrases was corrosive of political and social life. This view dominates the despairing vision painted in his most outstanding creative achievement, The Last Days of Mankind, an apocalyptic drama written in response to the outbreak of World War I which runs to over 200 scenes and includes a cast of nearly 500. Alongside a selection of outstanding essays (including "e;A Crown for Zion"e;; "e;Salome"e; and "e;In These Great Times"e;), this collection includes the prologue and complete first act of The Last Days of Mankind, as well as a selection of aphorisms culled from Die Fackel. A large part of the work featured here is being presented in English translation for the first time. This edition also includes a chronology, suggested further reading and notes.

Der Band 1 der dreibandigen Lehrbuchserie Photogrammetrie ist den Grundlagen und Standardverfahren sowohl der Photogrammetrie als auch des in den letzten Jahren aufgekommenen Laserscannings gewidmet. Mit Photogrammetrie und Laserscanning werden vor allem die Lage und die Form von Objekten erfasst und modelliert. Die Sensoren zur Datenerfassung werden in Flugzeugen eingebaut und im Nahbereich auf terrestrische Plattformen montiert. Die Ergebnisse der Modellierung werden teilweise als Vektorgraphik und teilweise als Rastergraphik mit der Textur der Photographien visualisiert.

Diese Lehrbuchreihe wendet sich an Studierende und Praktiker in gleicher Weise. Einige Disziplinen seien genannt: Bauingenieurwesen und Kulturtechnik, Geodasie, Geographie, Geophysik, Geoinformatik, Hydrologie, Informatik, Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Maschinenbau, Raum- und Landschaftsplanung. Bei der Auswahl des Stoffes sowie bei der Gliederung und Formulierung des Textes wurde der Didaktik ein sehr groer Stellenwert eingeraumt. Die theoretischen Grundlagen werden mit vielen Beispielen veranschaulicht. Zahlreich eingestreute Aufgaben (mit Losungen) bieten die Moglichkeit der Selbstkontrolle.

From the decadent turn of the century to the Third Reich, the acerbic satirist Karl Kraus was one of the most famous-and feared-intellectuals in Europe. This title provides an introductory essay on Kraus' life and milieu and annotations that clarify many of Kraus' literary and sociohistorical allusions.

"Now available in English for the first time, Austrian satirist and polemicist Karl Kraus's Third Walpurgis Night was written in immediate response to the Nazi seizure of power in 1933 but withheld from publication for fear of reprisals against Jews trapped in Germany. Acclaimed when finally published by Kèosel Verlag in 1952, it is a devastatingly prescient exposure, giving special attention to the regime's corruption of language as masterminded by Joseph Goebbels. Bertolt Brecht wrote to Kraus that, in his indictment of Nazism, "You have disclosed the atrocities of intonation and created an ethics of language." This masterful translation, by the prizewinning translators of Kraus's The Last Days of Mankind, aims for clarity where Kraus had good reason to be cautious and obscure"--
