Der Zweite Weltkrieg

David Boyle is a Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London. A member of the Optical and Semiconductor Devices Group, and contributing to the Digital Economy Laboratory, his research interests lie at the intersection of applied complex sensing, actuation and control systems (cyber-physical systems), data analytics, and digital economy. David received his PhD in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the University of Limerick, Ireland, in 2009, having graduated with a B. Eng. (Hons) in Computer Engineering in 2005. His work has been recognised and awarded internationally, and published in the leading technical journals, including the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics (TIE), and Informatics (TII). He actively participates on a number of Technical Program, and Organising Committees, notably Design, Automation and Test in Europe (DATE), and the ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems; the premier conference in the field. Before joining Imperial, David worked with Wireless Sensor Network and Microelectronics Applications Integration Groups in the Microsystems Centre at Tyndall National Institute, and the Embedded Systems Research Group, University College Cork, Ireland, primarily developing 'green' wireless sensor networks to enable sustainable structural health monitoring. Previously, he was with France Telecom R&D - Orange Labs, focussing on end-to-end quality of service for urban machine-to-machine (M2M) services, and a Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar at the Higher Technical School of Telecommunications Engineering, Technical University of Madrid (ETSIT UPM).

Dieser Bildband enthält 900 bewegende Bildmotive, fotografiert von militärischen Berichterstattern, Pressefotografen, Soldaten und Zivilisten, darunter viele unbekannte Aufnahmen aus Archiven, die sich gegen eine Veröffentlichung bislang immer gesperrt haben. Jeder wichtige Kriegsschauplatz wird fotografisch dokumentiert, von den eisigen Gewässern des Polarkreises bis zu den Dschungeln des Südpazifiks, von den Wüsten Nordafrikas bis zu den Steppen Russlands.Abgerundet wird dieses einzigartige Zeitdokument durch den informativen und anschaulich formulierten Text des bekannten britischen Militärhistorikers David Boyle, der für dieses Werk viele neue Quellen erschlossen hat.
