Peter H. Amann Collection 1909-2009
No full textThis collection contains the personal and professional papers of Peter Amann, mostly correspondence but also including family papers, personal and professional writings, publicity materials relating to Peter Amann’s wife, and other personal documents. These materials reflect his role as a professor, author and prominent American historian as well as providing information about the rest of his family, including his father Paul Amann.Although most of these files date from his adult life, when he worked as a professor of history at various American universities, many files, including all of Series I, appear to have been inherited from his mother Dora Amann (née Iranyi) during the 1980s. These files include Dora Amann’s family papers and document the lives of the Iranyi/Israel family at the period before the Anschluss, during wartime, when Dora and Paul Amann lived in Paris, and conditions of Jewish individuals and families in Vienna under the Nazi regime.Other materials inherited from Dora Amann consist of some of Paul Amann’s correspondence, which contains a limited amount of post-war correspondence with prominent literary figures like Christopher Isherwood, Albert Camus, and the estate of Romain Rolland, and correspondence between Ernst Amann and his parents Dora and Paul. Included with the Paul Amann materials is an unpublished memoir, written in English, pertaining to his time as an Austrian soldier during World War I.The earlier family correspondence is almost entirely comprised of letters exchanged between Peter Amann and his parents. Starting in the mid 1950s, other figures begin to appear in the family correspondence, including Peter’s half-brother Wilhelm (Willi), who settled in Scotland, and Peter’s sister Eva. After the death of Paul Amann in 1959, the family correspondence contains an increasing amount of letters to and from Dora Amann.The professional correspondence starts during Peter Amann’s graduate studies at the University of Chicago in the 1950s. This series consists of correspondence and application materials for scholarships and fellowships, such as the Fulbright Peter Amann received in 1963, letters exchanged with colleagues and with collaborators on various research and book projects, letters seeking job placement, and letters with scholarly and academic publishers, relating both to proposed and to actual book and research projects. A substantial amount of official correspondence with the administrations of the various universities for which Amann worked, especially the University of Michigan, is also present. Additional materials in this series include diplomas and awards dating from Amann’s high school years in the 1940s through the 1970s, and various writings both academic and fictional, publications, and translations. Many of these writings included in the collection have never been published. A final subseries of professional correspondence pertains to his wife Enne Amann’s career as a folk singer, for which Peter Amann acted as manager during the mid 1960s through the early 1970s.The final series, personal correspondence, comprises letters and cards exchanged with friends and neighbors, as well as many materials pertaining to personal accommodations, such as lodging and transportation, while abroad for research purposes. The line between personal and professional correspondence is often blurry in the case of letters exchanged with professional colleagues, and therefore many correspondents appear in both the personal and professional series. The original order of the files with regards to dividing personal and professional correspondence was largely kept intact to avoid any destruction of contextual evidence. A variety of other types of correspondence, including letters to newspaper Op-Ed pages and letters to Congressional representatives expressing personal political views, were also included in this series, even if they refer to Peter Amann’s professional credentials.Peter Amann was born in 1927 in the Penzig district of Vienna, Austria. In 1939 Peter Amann fled with his family to France, and eventually reached New York via Portugal in 1941. After a few itinerant years following their arrival in the United States, Peter Amann graduated high school in Ohio and then continued his education at Oberlin College. In 1947 he completed his studies at Oberlin College and married Enne Niemi in Kentucky.For the next half decade Amann worked various jobs and wrote fiction in New York City and Milwaukee, before settling in Chicago in 1952 to work on a Ph.D. in History at the University of Chicago. Soon afterwards his first child Paula was born, and two other children, Sandra and David, were born within the following 7 years. Aside from an initial stint at Bowdoin College in Maine (1956-1959) and a few years on the faculty of the State University of New York Binghamton (1965-1968), Amann spent his entire professional career at various campuses of the University of Michigan. From 1971-2004 he was a Professor Emeritus of History at the Ann Arbor campus.Peter Amann is arguably most noted for his major work Revolution and Mass Democracy: The Paris Club Movement in 1848, but he also authored several other well-regarded scholarly books and articles on a variety of topics covering both European and American history. He has been awarded a Fulbright fellowship (1963-1964), a Guggenheim fellowship (1963-1964), and National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship (1982); for all of these awards he traveled to France for research.Dora Amann, née Israel, was born in 1894 in Vienna. Along with her immediate family, she converted to Protestantism and changed her name to Iranyi; her extended family kept the name Israel. She received a musical education in Vienna, Uppsala (Sweden), and Norway, and sang professionally. She married Paul Amann, a translator, with whom she had two children, Peter and Eva (later Eva Irrera). In 1939 she emigrated to France and then in 1941 to the United States. After Paul Amann’s death, she spent much of her life in New Paltz, New York, and died in 1993 near Washington, D.C.For a detailed biography of Peter Amann’s father, Paul Amann, please see the Peter Amann Collection, AR 3305.digitize
Energy demand and savings opportunities in the supply of limestone and olivine-rich rocks for geochemical carbon dioxide removal
No full textThe large-scale implementation of geochemical Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) approaches such as Enhanced Weathering (EW) and Ocean Liming (OL) will require the extraction and processing of large amounts of limestone and olivine-rich rocks. Based on a literature review, surface mining, comminution, their related sub-stages, and long-haul transportation have carefully been surveyed to elucidate the order of magnitude of the energy demand, the technical challenges posed by each operation, and the potential energy-savings achievable by applying opportune strategies. This work confirms the significant energy-saving opportunities in fine and ultrafine grinding (one of the most energy-consuming activities along the raw material supply chain) as underlined by previous studies, and, in addition, it focuses on limestone and olivine-rich rocks providing new outcomes, it analyses data from a climate change perspective and extends calculations and discussion to transportation. The results show that the implementation of energy-saving strategies (cutting-edge energy efficiency solutions and best practices) to comminute such materials for OL and EW purposes in the near-medium term (2025-2050) would reduce the average electricity demand by 33%-65% in case of low carbon removal target (up to 27 MtC yr-1) and substantial energy efficiency improvement, and by 33%-36% in case of high carbon removal target (up to 69 MtC yr-1) and poor energy efficiency improvement

Amann named law school associate dean for international programs and strategic initiatives
Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia School of Law has named Diane Marie Amann as its first associate dean for international programs and strategic initiatives. In this role, she will oversee collaborations between the Dean Rusk Center for International Law and Policy and the law school’s faculty and students. Amann will also assist the law school with strategic initiatives such as growing its LL.M. program, strengthening partnerships with foreign universities and beginning work on the school’s next strategic plan.
“Diane brings a wealth of expertise and experience to this role,” said Georgia Law Dean Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge. “Her scholarly record in international law, and her leadership positions with organizations such as the American Society for International Law and the International Criminal Court, make her the ideal candidate to help build on our law school’s strong international programs and the late U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk’s legacy. Moreover, Diane’s former positions at other law schools will help inform our efforts to address the unique challenges and opportunities facing legal education today.”
Amann joined the Georgia Law faculty in the fall of 2011 as the holder of the Emily and Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law, which she still occupies. Her courses include Public International Law, International Criminal Law, the Laws of War, Refugee and Asylum Law, Children and International Law, and Constitutional Law. She is an affiliated faculty member of UGA’s African Studies Institute and serves as the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s special adviser on children in armed conflict.
The author of more than four dozen publications in English, French and Italian, Amann focuses her scholarship on the ways that national, regional and international legal regimes interact as they endeavor to combat atrocity and cross-border crime. She is editor-in-chief of the American Society of International Law Benchbook on International Law.
Prior to coming to Georgia Law, Amann was a professor of law, the founding director of the California International Law Center and a Martin Luther King Jr. Hall Research Scholar at the University of California, Davis. She has also served as a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, at the University of California, Los Angeles, and at the Irish Centre for Human Rights at the National University of Ireland, Galway, and as a professeur invitée at the Université de Paris 1 (Panthéon-Sorbonne).
Before entering academia, she practiced law in San Francisco before state and federal trial courts and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. She was an assistant federal public defender, a solo federal criminal defense practitioner and a litigation associate at Morrison & Foerster. She also served as a judicial clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens and Judge Prentice H. Marshall of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Amann holds a Dr.h.c. degree in law from Universiteit Utrecht in the Netherlands. She earned her J.D. cum laude from Northwestern University, where she served as a note and comment editor of the Northwestern University Law Review and was inducted into the Order of the Coif, her M.A. in political science from UCLA and her B.S. in journalism, with highest honors, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Amann is a past vice president of the American Society of International Law and past chair of the Association of American Law Schools Section on International Law. She received the 2013 Prominent Women in International Law Award from ASIL’s Women in International Law Interest Group as well as the 2010 Mayre Rasmussen Award for the Advancement of Women in International Law from the American Bar Association Section on International Law.
UGA School of Law Consistently regarded as one of the nation’s top public law schools, the UGA School of Law was established in 1859. With an accomplished faculty, which includes authors of some of the country’s leading legal scholarship, Georgia Law offers three degrees – the Juris Doctor, the Master of Laws and the Master in the Study of Law – and is home to the renowned Dean Rusk Center for International Law and Policy. Its advocacy program is counted among the nation’s best, winning four national championships in 2013-14 alone. For more information, see www.law.uga.edu.
