This diary is not just a recollection of experiences written after the war, but literally the experiences I wrote down every day. They are therefore a genuine reflection of the heavy fighting against the enemy and nature that the Kurhessian Jäger Battalion (Marburg), and especially my company and I, had to endure. Particularly at the beginning, there are a lot of things that I might not have written or at least later expressed differently as an experienced fighter of the Front. However, I have intentionally changed nothing, as these reports are intended to reflect my true feelings at the time.

From the trenches in France, to the mountains of Eastern Europe and the landscapes of Italy; step into the life of Alexander Pfeifer, a company commander within one of the most prestigious and utilised battalions of the Imperial German Army. Covering over 4 full years of continuous tough combat and service, 'The Other Trench' offers one of the most visual, touching, and brutal accounts of the Great War through his many photographs, authentic diary, and connections to people and the world we live in today. Co-authored by his English great-great-grandson, this book also offers narrations, research, and stories that intertwine the past with the present. It brings a chronicle and an interesting family history to life, as well as fully shedding light on the German perspective, but also that of the opposing sides during the war. The authenticity of this diary provides a unique insight into the life of an ordinary soldier during this era, all while completely elevating the reader's understanding of what was witnessed to the next level.

Es handelt sich hier nicht um nachträglich aus der Erinnerung geschriebene Kriegsbilder, sondern es sind wörtlich die von mir täglich notierten Erlebnisse. Sie sind daher ein wahrhaftes Spiegelbild der schweren Kämpfe gegen Feind und Natur, die das Kurhessische Jäger-Bataillon 11 (Marburg), und im Besonderen meine Kompanie zu bestehen hatte. Es steht, besonders im Anfang, manches darin, was ich später als alter Frontkämpfer vielleicht nicht geschrieben oder wenigstens anders ausgedrückt haben würde, aber ich habe absichtlich nichts geändert, weil diese Berichte unverfälscht mein damaliges Empfinden wiedergeben sollen.

Von den Schützengräben Frankreichs, über die Berge Osteuropas, bis hin zu den Landschaften Italiens; treten Sie ein in das Leben von Alexander Pfeifer, ein Kompanieführer eines der renommiertesten und am häufigsten eingesetzten Bataillone der kaiserlichen deutschen Armee. Mit seinem authentischen Tagebuch, seinen zahlreichen Fotos und den Verbindungen zu den Menschen in der heutigen Welt bietet Der Andere Graben detaillierte chronologische Berichte und Dokumentationen. Sie beschreiben brutale, aber auch zwischenmenschliche Ereignisse des Ersten Weltkriegs und umfassen mehr als vier Jahre ununterbrochene harte Kämpfe und Einsätze. Dieses von seinem englischen Ururenkel mitverfasste Buch bietet auch Erzählungen, Recherchen und Geschichten, die die Vergangenheit mit der Gegenwart verknüpfen. Die authentischen Berichte erwecken die Chronik und eine interessante Familiengeschichte zum Leben; sie beleuchten die Perspektive der Deutschen, aber auch der Gegenseite während des Krieges. Die Authentizität dieses Tagebuchs erlaubt eine Sichtweise auf das Leben eines einfachen Soldaten zu der damaligen Zeit und rückt das Erlebte für den Leser auf eine völlig andere Ebene.

The main focus of this book is on brown adipose tissue and its metabolic function. The book provides a timely update on the latest research and shows where the field is heading. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy and has received considerable attention in the last few years, having been re-discovered in adult humans in 2007/9. Moreover, BAT might offer a target for novel therapies to address obesity, a health condition that has reached pandemic dimensions.
