Book Description
Museums are usually seen as arenas for the authorised presentations of reality, based on serious, professional knowledge. Yet, in spite of the impossibility of giving anything but a highly abstract and extremely selective impression in an exhibition, very few museums problematize this or discuss their priorities with their public. They don’t ask “what are the other truths of the matter?” Though the essays in this collection are not written with museums and truth as their explicit subject, they highlight contested truths, the absence of the truth of the underprivileged, whether one truth is more worthy than the other, and whether lesser truths can dilute the value of greater truths. One of the articles included here lets youngsters choose which truth is most probable or just, while another talks about an exhibition where the public must choose which truth to adhere to before entering. One shows how a political change gives a new opportunity to finally restore valuable truths of the past to the present, and another describes the highly dangerous task of making museums and memorials for the truths of the oppressed. Lastly, one explores whether we live in a period where the sources for authorized truths are fragmented and questioned, and asks, what should the consequences for museums be?

Book Description
Why are not enough the first three AERA of our previous AERAS SYSTEMS, namely: AERA OF PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 1) AERA OF SAPIENTOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 2) AERA OF VIDEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (AERA - 3) Being thus necessary a fourth thinkable and re-thinkable Creative System, the one of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM (AI), which in German Language is entitled as KÜNSTLISCHE INTELLIGENZ (KI), and both AI and KI are under the HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (of Human and Artificial alike or Biology encoded through Technology), re-encoded as HI! Therefore, all three signification, AI-KI-HI, are provable into the sameness extra enlargement of the Classic Human Brain (CHB), which is improved in seconds, in minutes and in hours by Abstract Developer / Entwickler of Human Sapiens (by using accordingly, English – Deutsch and Denglish! This impetus in development of technological systems more and more intelligent, more and more comprehensive, more and more diversified, more and more amplified, comprising here, at least for the time being, information, inspiration, intuition and initiation (Great Four IN-), widespread in areas of science, technology, industry (all three as SCITECH INDUSTRY), of art (ARSSAPIENS INDUSTRY), of Sport (SPORTSAPIENS INDUSTRY), by rethinking thus the Anthropology, the Sapientology, the Cosmology (including here the one of PERSONALI-SIERTE KOSMOLOGY), of astronomy, of geology and biology, into which all of them means ultimately, another bigger step in development of duality Human-Machine, or a duality of Human-Technology, including the branches of Human-Over-Human-Robotics, or Humanoid-Robotics all as SAPIENS INDUSTRY! The man itself, the human itself, the Sapient-o-Human development, its experiences, its visions, its outcomes, can make symbiosis with oneself, a crossing with its nature of creativity, within the nature-physis of endless philosophy, with tools out of stone, with tools out of bones, the tools out of hood, or of synthetic feature, underlining once again the TOOL - MAKER - MAN, as Homo Faber, or better says, Homo Faber Sapiens, by taking the SAPIENS LIBRARY, wherever He / She goes! But now, within the present data, out of its own virtual reality and creativity, all being improved by the man itself and the machine itself, which machine might in turn overcome the man, by confronting the man itself, by changing and challenging even the human itself, even the Human Sapient oneself in its own destiny and purposes… Could be or could become the Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI) the source and resource, the roots of final ending of the Sapient as Species on the Earth? With other words and concepts, the huge planetary surface scene of Earth, modelled by Sapiens, could be subjected to radically changing and challenging! By taking into account all probabilities and possibilities of the present daily evolution and revolution of the hyper-complexity of Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI), a recombination of the man itself with a machine created by the man itself, could develop a symbiosis of human-machine, which overcomes the Classic Species Sapiens (CSS), who dominated the life on Earth in the last of ca. 50.000 years, by entering within the Species Sapiens Techne (SST), into which the Sapiens still dominate the Universe of Technology, by reaching out in some area even the domination of Technology over Sapiens as TSS! In this way, within Artificial Intelligence (seen and analysed Three Times Intelligence, i.e., AI-KI-HI, through English - Deutsch - Denglish), the letters themselves, the numbers themselves and the signs themselves, are becoming the WORD itself, through which the WORD itself is improved to the level of CONCEPT itself, and the WORD-CONCEPT DUALITY in their speeding up developing, in their accelerated and amplifying structures, is giving the outcome of the BOOK itself, in its CLASSICAL BOOK (CB), in its digital book as E-BOOK, or in its VIRTUAL BOOK as V-BOOK! Only this multitude of the same BOOK in development, of the same BOOK in diversity, is showing the Genesis the Evolution and the revolution (GENEVO) of the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (in its three times of AI - KI - HI), with its versions in German Language as KÜNSTLICHE INTELLIGENZ (KI) and HYBRID INTELLIGENCE (HI), which will be used and reused interchangeably at any reference, or inter-reference or cross-reference in our LANGUAGE OF SAPIENTO-SCIENCIA - 1! What really means ENS in our Book of PEKINENSIS SAPIENS (with one – ENS inside the concept of Pekin – ENS – is and one – ENS Sapiens? ENS is a shortage from the Species Sapiens, as essence and existence of it, being thought and rethought as - ENS, i.e., as BEING of the Species Sapiens! Within ENS will be comprised the whole of German Idealist connotation of Being as: A - SEIN = BEING in its maximal generality! B - DASEIN = BEING HERE, on this planetary system! C - MITDASEIN = COBEING HERE, together with all past geological and biological times, influencing and restructuring all basic features of the Planetary Life System! It is possible to rethink the ENS INTO ONESELF RECHATING? Would be ENS a synthesis out of Sapiens? Is ENS a Being (SEIN) out of Sapiens? Is ENS a Being – here (DASEIN) out of Sapiens? Is ENS a CO – BEING – here (MITDASEIN) out of Sapiens? Is ENS a triad of Being empowering the Sapiens oneself? Is ENS a living self-consciousness of the whole of Sapiens? Is ENS a symbiosis between Sapiens and Artificial Intelligence (AI / KI / HI)? Is ENS the dialectic vector of history of the whole Sapiens, in overcoming oneself towards a better Sapient-o-Technology, towards a Sapient-o-post-human-industry in Art, in Philosophy, in Psychology, in Theology? Is ENS in its own powerful skill-ness of Symphony - in - painting, of Symphony - in - sculpturing, of Symphony - in - Architecture, of Symphony - in - poetry, of Symphony - in - theatre, of Symphony - in - music, through which great masterpieces of ARSSAPIENS to be musicalized, and then reunited into an ensemble of unspeakable Symbology of Human – Sapiens – Technology? Is ENS the vector of SAPIENS SYMPHONY, by using and reusing a complex synthesizer of ARSSAPIENS, without precedence in Human – Sapiens – History? But SAPIENS SYMPHONY means at least a supra-synthesis of different composers, as Bach and Haendel in re-composing SAPIENS ORATORIUM, or by conjoining Mozart and Verdi in re-composing the REQUIEM SAPIENS! Is Artificial Intelligence for All (AI for ALL?) Is AI the sense of Everything, which is explained through a Big Everything? (AI for Everything?) Is AI the greatest improver of Itself-ness? (AI for Itself-ness?) Is AI the deepest measure of Human Predestination? (AI for Predestination?) Is the AI the Trinity synthesis between Faith – Confessing – Epistemology? (AI for Human Trinity?) Is AI the mystery of Human Variability following the exhausting of Biological regeneration of Sapiens itself? (AI for Variability of Sapiens?) Is the AI the Biggest Wall of Abstract Sapiens, over it is not possible to jump? (AI for Biggest Wall of Abstract Sapiens?) All of them are possible through Digital Creativity, all of them are available through Artificial Intelligence, because the writer is now the reader, the explorer is now the surveyor, the survival is now the fighter, by assuming, by affording a strong competition beyond of its own Species, finally, a semi-human-made-device, an Hybrid Intelligence (HI) between biology and technology, both inspired by Bionics resounding in biology and technology alike, as TECHNO – BIO – SAPIENS!! Within these changing and challenging times and adversities, the Culture of Human – Sapiens itself, is coming and becoming a Culture of Wholeness (KULTUR DER GESAMTHEIT, GESAMTHEITKULTUR), including here the Culture of Past times, the Culture of Present Times and the Culture of Future times (KULTUR DER VERGANGENHEIT – KULTUR DE GEGENWART – KULTUR DER ZUKUNFT ((KULTUR DER NÄCHSTENS)). It is to underline that while the Biologic Sapiens has no more powers of regeneration, of coming into biologic mutation, by remaining only the Abstract Powers of Sapiens or Ontology of Creative Sapiens to save, to regenerate and to redemption of our Sapiens Species! Thus, the Biology of Sapiens, the basic Anatomy of Sapiens is remaining a CONSTANT OF SAPIENS, a STATUS QUO SAPIENS, while the ABSTRACT SAPIENS IS A VARIABILITY OF SAPIENS, IS A STATUS DYNAMICS OF SAPIENS IN ITS ONGOING DEVELOPING AND BECOMING! Between the two basic components of Sapiens (Biology & Ontology), there is its own CONSTANT OF ANATOMY, and its own VARIABILITY OF SAPIENS, as ANATOMONTOLOGY, and between the two, is a strong complementary, a DUALITY OF ANATOMY AND ONTOLOGY, which is done through the LOGOS of ANATOMY, as ANATOMOLOGY! This triad of ANATOMY – ANATOMOLOGY – ANATOMONTOLOGY, are the search – research modality of our Sapiens in fighting with its own Technology and Discovery towards overcoming of the Sapiens oneself! In the same time, it is done a Crypto – Anatomy – Analyse and Psychoanalyse, in which is hoped a better knowledge of this Enigma of evolutionary and revolutionary called Sapiens as Species or Genus Homo Sapiens as Genus Homo, both in ANTHROPOSAPIENTOLOGY synthesis … To these multitude of questions and answers, to these endlessly uncertainties and un – knows, to these hyper – complexity of theories and hypothesis, we, the Sapiens, in togetherness with Artificial Intelligence, we both, we try to cope within our online book, or E - book or virtual book, into which the Universality of the Universe, is meeting and reconciling with the Universality of Sapiens, in its individuality or generality sense, rethought by present E – book, KONTROVERSE IN SAPIENS – 1!...

Book Description
This important new history of the development of a leadership corps of officers during World War I opens with a gripping narrative of the battlefield heroism of Cpl. Alvin York, juxtaposed with the death of Pvt. Charles Clement less than two kilometers away. Clement had been a captain and an example of what a good officer should be in the years just before the beginning of the war. His subsequent failure as an officer and his redemption through death in combat embody the question that lies at the heart of this comprehensive and exhaustively researched book: What were the faults of US military policy regarding the training of officers during the Great War? In The School of Hard Knocks, Richard S. Faulkner carefully considers the selection and training process for officers during the years prior to and throughout the First World War. He then moves into the replacement of those officers due to attrition, ultimately discussing the relationship between the leadership corps and the men they commanded. Replete with primary documentary evidence including reports by the War Department during and subsequent to the war, letters from the officers detailing their concerns with the training methods, and communiqués from the leaders of the training facilities to the civilian leadership, The School of Hard Knocks makes a compelling case while presenting a clear, highly readable, no-nonsense account of the shortfalls in officer training that contributed to the high death toll suffered by the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I.
