A place in the sun
A little bit of history: the inspiration from this blog's name comes from a well known line from early XXth century Germany
“We do not want to put anyone into the shade, but we demand a place for ourselves in the sun."
Bernhard von Bulow
I came across it during one of my earlier years of history. Now I'm pretty much out of touch with the humanities side of academia but history and geography (human geography, not what is geology, mind you!) will always keep a soft spot in my heart.
