H. G. Wells - been more obvious to the people of the earlier twentieth century," he wrote, "than the rapidity with which war was becoming impossible... [but] they did not see it until the atomic bombs burst in their fumbling hands." Leo Szilard acknowledged that the book inspired him and led to his discovery or invention of the nuclear chain reaction. Wells also wrote non-fiction. His classic two-volume work The Outline of History (1920) set a new standard and direction for popularised scholarship. Many other authors followed with 'Outlines' of their own in other subjects. Wells followed it in 1922 by a much shorter popular work, A Short History of the World. The 'Outlines' became sufficiently common for James Thurber to parody the trend in his humorous essay An Outline of Scientists. From quite early.
Head of State - of the Federal Republic of Germany (constitution), Article 59 (1) states - The Federal President shall represent the Federation in its international relations. He shall conclude treaties with foreign states on behalf of the Federation. He shall accredit and receive envoys. Chief Appointments Officer: He or she appoints all the key officials in the state, including members of the cabinet, the prime minister (if there is one), key judicial figures and all major office holders.

Henry I of England - He also holds the record for the largest number of acknowledged illegitimate children born to any English king, with a provisional total of twenty-five. However, neither of his legitimate sons, both by his first wife, survived him; both died in the wreck of the White Ship, on November 25, 1120, off the coast of Normandy. One of these sons, Richard, remains extremely obscure and may not have existed at all. The other, William, definitely existed and his death proved a disaster for England. Left without male heirs, Henry took the unprecented step of making his barons swear to accept his daughter Matilda, widow of Henry V, the Holy Roman Emperor, as his heir. Henry died of food poisoning from eating foul lampreys in December, 1135, at St. Denis le Fermont in.
History of zoology, post-Darwin - the explanations of animal and plant mechanisms, coloring, habits, which confer advantages to the individuals within a species, were only gradually being carried further in the early 20th century. Much important work in this direction was been done by Fritz Muller (Für Darwin), by Herman Muller (Fertilization of Plants by Insects), by August Weismann (memoirs translated by Meldola) by Edward B. Poulton (see his addresses and memoirs published in the Transactions of the Entomological Society and elsewhere), and by Abbot Thayer (Concealing Coloration in the Animal Kingdom, Macmillan & Co. 1910). In the field of what would become known as genetics, the laws of variation and heredity (originally known as thremmatology), there was considerable progress in this period. The progress of microscope during this era began to give a clearer understanding.

British Isles - Problems with Modern Usage In recent times, however, and unlike the case in many archipelagos, the political relationship between the main islands has changed. Since 1922, the Irish Free State (now the Republic of Ireland) has existed as a separate state, having fought a war of independence against Britain in the early twentieth century, while Scotland has achieved Home Rule and Wales has a lesser form of home administration. To many Irish people as well as some Scottish and Welsh nationalists, the term "British Isles" is unacceptable. It is perceived as an agenda-laden term that seems to imply that their countries, notably the completely independent Irish Republic, are part of the "islands of Britain", in some way subordinate to the British government (as was formerly true of all Ireland and is.
