Book Description
This edited volume examines entanglements and disentanglements between Africa and East Germany during and after the Cold War from a global history perspective. Extending the view beyond political elites, it asks for the negotiated and plural character of socialism in these encounters and sheds light on migration, media, development, and solidarity through personal and institutional agency. With its distinctive focus on moorings and unmoorings, the volume shows how the encounters, albeit often brief, significantly influenced both African and East German histories.

My Opposition
Author: Friedrich Kellner
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108307841
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
This is a truly unique account of Nazi Germany at war and of one man's struggle against totalitarianism. A mid-level official in a provincial town, Friedrich Kellner kept a secret diary from 1939 to 1945, risking his life to record Germany's path to dictatorship and genocide and to protest his countrymen's complicity in the regime's brutalities. Just one month into the war he is aware that Jews are marked for extermination and later records how soldiers on leave spoke openly about the mass murder of Jews and the murder of POWs; he also documents the Gestapo's merciless rule at home from euthanasia campaigns against the handicapped and mentally ill to the execution of anyone found listening to foreign broadcasts. This essential testimony of everyday life under the Third Reich is accompanied by a foreword by Alan Steinweis and the remarkable story of how the diary was brought to light by Robert Scott Kellner, Friedrich's grandson.

Anti-Semitism
Author: F. Schweitzer
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 140397912X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In this provocative book, Marvin Perry and Frederick M. Schweitzer analyze the lies, misperceptions, and myths about Jews and Judaism that anti-semites have propagated throughout the centuries. Beginning with antiquity, and continuing into the present day, the authors explore the irrational fabrications that have led to numerous acts of violence and hatred against Jews. The book examines ancient and medieval myths central to the history of anti-semitism: Jews as 'Christ-killers', instruments of Satan, and ritual murderers of Christian children. It also explores the scapegoating of Jews in the modern world as conspirators bent on world domination; extortionists who manufactured the Holocaust as a hoax designed to gain reparation payments from Germany; and the leaders of the slave trade that put Africa in chains. No other book has focused its attention exclusively on a thematic discussion of historic and contemporary anti-semitic myths, covering such an expansive scope of time, and allowing for such a painstaking level of exemplification. Anti-semitism is an essential book that will serve as a corrective to bigotry, stereotype, and historical distortion.

Roman Architecture and Urbanism
Author: Fikret Yegül
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108577067
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Since antiquity, Roman architecture and planning have inspired architects and designers. In this volume, Diane Favro and Fikret Yegül offer a comprehensive history and analysis of the Roman built environment, emphasizing design and planning aspects of buildings and streetscapes. They explore the dynamic evolution and dissemination of architectural ideas, showing how local influences and technologies were incorporated across the vast Roman territory. They also consider how Roman construction and engineering expertise, as well as logistical proficiency, contributed to the making of bold and exceptional spaces and forms. Based on decades of first-hand examinations of ancient sites throughout the Roman world, from Britain to Syria, the authors give close accounts of many sites no longer extant or accessible. Written in a lively and accessible manner, Roman Architecture and Urbanism affirms the enduring attractions of Roman buildings and environments and their relevance to a global view of architecture. It will appeal to readers interested in the classical world and the history of architecture and urban design, as well as wide range of academic fields. With 835 illustrations including numerous new plans and drawings as well as digital renderings.

Languages : en

Book Description
Die englische Version des drei ???-Titels "Fussballgangster" ist bereits im Jahr 2009 erschienen und hier besprochen worden (vgl. BA 11/09). Am Inhalt hat sich zur Neuauflage nichts Wesentliches geändert, lediglich das Cover wurde leicht überarbeitet.

Was das "Medienpaket" betrifft, gibt es allerdings 2 Änderungen: Statt einer beiliegenden MP3-CD kann das Hörbuch mit dem vorgelesenen Text nun direkt aus dem Internet heruntergeladen werden. Dasselbe gilt für das zugehörige E-Book, das bei der Vorgängerausgabe noch gar nicht im Zubehör enthalten war. - Zur Ersatz- oder Neuanschaffung. ekz. Verlagsinfo: Englisch lernen mit Justus, Peter und Bob Tauch in ein spannendes Abenteuer der drei ??? ein und lerne mit den Übersetzungshilfen viele neue Vokabeln. Trainiere Wortschatz, Verständnis und Grammatik mit zahlreichen Detektivübungen. 3 in 1: Lade dir die ganze Story als MP3-Hörbuch und als E-Book herunter. Für Englisch-Lernende ab dem 3./4. Lernjahr geeignet.
