In June of 1944\, an exceptional U.S. Army unit went into action in Normandy. Its weapons included hundreds of inflatable tanks and a one-of-a-kind collection of sound effects records\, and it carried out its battlefield mission without firing a shot. The unit was officially called the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops\, but it was known to its men as The Ghost Army.\n\nMembers of The Ghost Army adhered to a decades-long gag order\; many never told their families about their extraordinary military service. Sixty-five years after this top-secret group went into action\, the University of Michigan's Hatcher Library will unveil the first public exhibit of this captivating group of materials documenting The Ghost Army. \n\nThis exhibit is available during library hours.

Medieval manuscripts document the preservation of the text until the invention of movable type printing by Gutenberg around 1450. The early printed Bibles include versions in Latin and Greek\, and several that show the struggles among various political factions and church reformers to control the translating of the Scriptures into the language of the people. See the King James Bible of 1611 that became the accepted standard.\n\nFor Audubon Room hours\, see https://www.lib.umich.edu/audubon-room UID:2220-918660@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2220 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room/First Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20090722T143534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100325T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100325T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ida: Darwinius masillae DESCRIPTION:\"Ida\,\" a new exhibit in the Exhibit Museum's Rotunda\, displays a high-resolution cast of an extremely rare fossil discovered in 1983 near Messel\, Germany\, but only recently made available for study. The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

He gathers raw data in his excavations\, and records his findings using a wholly unique and modern process and method that he intuitively formulates as he goes along. In his ongoing study of a city so rooted in a dense past\, and the emotional attachments that accompany it\, Hocking is uncompromising and unflinching\, and refuses to buy into the hype. His visual essays chronicling urban markings of modern day ruin are not the stuff of tragedy or fodder for magazine centerfolds\, but proof of a renaissance in real time. Hocking's work is fully alive\, and honors the world going past and us moving forward along with it\, exhilarated by industrial parks returning to fallow land\, and strawberry bushes growing in the cracked concrete.

DESCRIPTION:Sebastiaan Faber\, professor and chair of Hispanic studies\, Oberlin College. \n\nAbstract: For the first couple of decades following Spain's transition to democracy\, academic historians held something of a monopoly on the legitimate\, objective representation of the country's twentieth-century past. In the last ten years\, their hegemony has been eroded by a remarkable wave of non-academic\, politicized\, and at times emphatically subjective studies\, documentaries\, debates\, reportage\, novels\, and fiction films about the Republic\, the Civil War\, and Francoism–a wave that in itself indicates a shift in the public's needs and sensibilities when it comes to learning about the past and thinking about its connection to the present. How have Spanish historians dealt with these developments? To what extent are non-academic accounts of the past legitimate\, useful\, or even indispensable as Spain comes to terms with the Civil War and Francoism? And what specific role can literary fiction play in this process? Sebastiaan Faber is the author and editor of four books\, including Exile and Cultural Hegemony: Spanish Intellectuals in Mexico\, 1939-1975 (Vanderbilt\, 2002) and Anglo-American Hispanists and the Spanish Civil War: Hispanophilia\, Commitment\, and Discipline (Palgrave\, 2008)\, as well as some fifty articles on Spanish and Latin American cultural history. His areas of interest include the Spanish Civil War\, political exile\, historical memory\, the institutional history of Hispanism\, contemporary Spanish fiction and film\, and the theory of ideology. Born and raised in the Netherlands\, he holds degrees from the University of Amsterdam and U.C. Davis. He has been teaching at Oberlin College since 1999.
