Broken upper arm bone, X-ray
Broken upper arm bone. Coloured X-ray of a fracture (yellow) of the upper arm bone (humerus). The neck of the humerus has fractured, separating its head (upper right) from its shaft (below the head)

Pinned wrist fracture, X-ray
Pinned wrist fracture, coloured frontal X-ray. A pi-plate (white) has been inserted to treat a displaced distal radius (large lower arm bone) fracture

Glacial erosion. Grooves in bedrock from the movement of a glacier. This type of erosion is called abrasion. As a glacier moves across land, it picks up debris, which is carried with the ice

"Displacement: A Journey Through Time and Space" In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, the concept takes on various forms, transcending boundaries and leaving an indelible mark on history. From the Jewish refugees fleeing Vienna in 1938 to the continental drift maps revealing Earth's ever-changing surface, this caption explores the profound impact of displacement. David Jagger's poignant painting "Jewish Refugee, Vienna" captures a moment frozen in time, depicting a soul torn from its homeland. The pain etched upon their faces echoes throughout history as countless individuals have been uprooted from their homes due to political turmoil or persecution. Just as continents shift over millennia, so too does humanity adapt to new circumstances. The USS Intrepid aircraft carrier stands tall as a symbol of resilience amidst turbulent seas – a testament to human ingenuity in times of displacement. G. H. Davis' depiction of submarine growth showcases how technology has evolved alongside our understanding of displacement. As we delve deeper into uncharted waters, these vessels become both refuge and instrument for exploration. Yet not all displacements occur at sea; sometimes they manifest within our everyday lives. When the hot water tap runs cold unexpectedly, we are reminded that even mundane disruptions can cause temporary disarray – an inconsequential but relatable form of displacement. The HMS Courageous serves as another example; once a mighty fleet aircraft carrier during World War II, it now rests beneath ocean waves after meeting its tragic fate. Its story intertwines with that of Cunard White Star's Lancastria deck plan – both vessels carrying passengers displaced by war yet destined for different outcomes. As Moroccan civilians embarked on the Green March towards Western Sahara seeking self-determination, they became agents of change through peaceful means – illustrating how collective action can redefine borders and challenge established norms without resorting to violence. G. H. Davis' comparison between Aquitania and Vaterland highlights how ships themselves can be displaced, repurposed, or even lost to history.
