The current work is dedicated to dental undergraduate students as
well as for postgraduate candidates in orthodontics. It is
investigating the influence of mesial migration of the lower
permanent first molar on the development and position of the lower
third molar and the relation of this movement to the age, sex, and
the side of the lower first molar. In orthodontics, it is very
important to understand the behaviour of the wisdom teeth and their
impact on normal occlusion.
Placing the creation of Westphalia within the context of the larger
German story of the Napoleonic Wars, this groundbreaking book
offers the only complete history of Napoleon's grand experiment to
construct a model state in Germany. In 1807, in the wake of two
years of victories over the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians,
Napoleon redrew the map of central Europe by fashioning a new
German state. Dubbing it the Kingdom of Westphalia, he appointed
his 23-year-old brother Jerome as its king. Sam A. Mustafa shows
how Westphalia became a proving ground for the allegedly liberating
and modern concepts of the French Revolution, brought by foreign
conquest and enforced by a powerful new centralized state. Over the
next six years, the inhabitants of this region experienced
fundamental and often jarring changes in almost every aspect of
their lives. They witnessed a profound clash of French and German
culture, as well as new ideas about law, nationality, and politics.
And yet, for all of its promise on paper, Westphalia ended up
despised by most of its people, who cheered at its collapse and in
many cases helped to bring it down. What went wrong with this early
example of what we would today call "nation building" and how did
Germans react to the changes? Napoleon's Paper Kingdom is the first
book in the English language to provide a comprehensive
investigation of this fascinating chapter of the Napoleonic Wars.
With a careful blend of concision and rich detail, Sam A. Mustafa's
readable and lively text traces German history from Roman times to
the present, placing particular emphasis on the past three
centuries. Balanced and clearly written, the book guides readers
expertly through the complex tangle of Germany's past. Mustafa
provides a judicious mix of narrative history and historiography,
tracing the influential individuals and broad social currents,
myths and legends, and political and cultural elements that have
shaped the country. In addition, the book is unique in bringing the
story fully to the present with a chapter on the past twenty-five
years that explores the nation's reunification and its struggles
with history and memory. Generously illustrated with photos,
artwork, and maps, the book also includes text boxes to allow
readers to pause and consider key concepts in greater detail. Each
chapter offers a list of further suggested readings, with a mixture
of classic and recent scholarship, to provide a range of coverage
of important issues.
