Inhalt: "In May of 1945, German forces surrendered to the Allied powers, effectively putting an end to World War II in Europe. But the aftershocks of this global military conflict did not cease with the signing of truces and peace treaties. Millions of lost and homeless POWs, slave laborers, political prisoners, and concentration camp survivors overwhelmed Germany, a country in complete disarray. British and American soldiers gathered the malnourished and desperate foreigners, and attempted to repatriate them to Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and the USSR. But after exhaustive efforts, there remained over a million displaced persons who either refused to go home or, in the case of many, had no home to which to return. They would spend the next three to five years in displaced persons camps, divided by nationalities, temporary homelands in exile, with their own police forces, churches, schools, newspapers, and medical facilities.

Inhalt: The international community couldn't agree on the fate of the Last Million, and after a year of fruitless debate and inaction, an International Refugee Organization was created to resettle them in lands suffering from labor shortages. But no nations were willing to accept the 200,000 to 250,000 Jewish men, women, and children who remained trapped in Germany. In 1948, the United States, among the last countries to accept anyone for resettlement, finally passed a Displaced Persons Bill - but as Cold War fears supplanted memories of WWII atrocities, the bill only granted visas to those who were reliably anti-communist, including thousands of former Nazi collaborators, Waffen-SS members, and war criminals, while barring the Jews who were suspected of being Communist sympathizers or agents because they had been recent residents of Soviet-dominated Poland.

Inhalt: Only after the passage of the controversial UN resolution for the partition of Palestine and Israel's declaration of independence were the remaining Jewish survivors finally able to leave their displaced persons camps in Germany."--

Serie: War, culture and society

Inhalt: "Picturing Genocide in the Independent State of Croatia examines the role which atrocity photographs played, and continue to play, in shaping the public memory of the Second World War in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. Focusing on visual representations of one of the most controversial and politically divisive episodes of the war -- genocidal violence perpetrated against Serbs, Jews, and Roma by the pro-Nazi Ustasha regime in the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945) -- the book examines the origins, history and legacy of violent images. Notably, this book pays special attention to the politics of the atrocity photograph. It explores how images were strategically and selectively mobilized at different times, and by different memory communities and stakeholders, to do different things: justify retribution against political opponents in the immediate aftermath of the war, sustain the discourses of national unity on which socialist Yugoslavia was founded, or, in the post-communist era, prop-up different nationalist agendas, and 'frame' the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. In exploring this hitherto neglected aspect of Yugoslav history and visual culture, Jovan Byford sheds important light on the intricate nexus of political, cultural and psychological factors which account for the enduring power of atrocity images to shape the collective memory of mass violence"--

Inhalt: Platz 1 der New York Times-Bestsellerliste - der neue geniale Thriller von Lucy Foley jetzt endlich auch bei uns! Ein geheimnisvolles Haus in Paris, schweigsame Nachbarn und ein tödliches Geheimnis ... Ein einsames Haus am Ende einer verwinkelten Seitengasse im Pariser Stadtviertel Montmartre: Pleite und nur mit einem einzigen Koffer in der Hand steht Jess vor der Tür ihres Bruders, der versprochen hat, sie für ein paar Wochen bei sich wohnen zu lassen. Doch sie findet seine Wohnung leer vor - es scheint, als habe er sie überstürzt verlassen. Die Nachbarn machen keinen Hehl daraus, dass Fremde in diesem Haus nicht willkommen sind. Je länger ihr Bruder verschwunden bleibt, desto mehr fühlt Jess sich beobachtet in dem alten Gebäude mit seinen geheimen Durchgängen und vielen verschlossenen Türen. Immer unerbittlicher wächst in ihr der Verdacht, dass dieser Ort ein schreckliches Geheimnis verbirgt. Und auch unter den Nachbarn suchen sich lang begrabene Feindseligkeiten ihren gefährlichen Weg ans Licht. Dann macht Jess eine unfassbare Entdeckung. Und die Situation im Haus eskaliert ... Nach ihren sensationellen Erfolgen "Neuschnee" und "Sommernacht" garantiert Bestsellerautorin Lucy Foley wieder atemlose Spannung.

Inhalt: "As the Internet grows more sophisticated, it is creating new threats to democracy. Social media companies such as Facebook can sort us ever more efficiently into groups of the like-minded, creating echo chambers that amplify our views. It's no accident that on some occasions, people of different political views cannot even understand each other. It's also no surprise that terrorist groups have been able to exploit social media to deadly effect. Welcome to the age of #Republic. In this revealing book, Cass Sunstein, the New York Times bestselling author of Nudge and The World According to Star Wars, shows how today's Internet is driving political fragmentation, polarization, and even extremism...and what can be done about it. Thoroughly rethinking the critical relationship between democracy and the Internet, Sunstein describes how the online world creates "cybercascades," exploits "confirmation bias," and assists "polarization entrepreneurs." And he explains why online fragmentation endangers the shared conversations, experiences, and understandings that are the lifeblood of democracy. In response, Sunstein proposes practical and legal changes to make the Internet friendlier to democratic deliberation. These changes would get us out of our information cocoons by increasing the frequency of unchosen, unplanned encounters and exposing us to people, places, things, and ideas that we would never have picked for our Twitter feed. #Republic need not be an ironic term. As Sunstein shows, it can be a rallying cry for the kind of democracy that citizens of diverse societies most need. "...

Inhalt: "From New York Times bestselling author and economics columnist Robert Frank, a revelatory look at the power and potential of social context. As psychologists have long understood, social environments profoundly shape our behavior, sometimes for the better, but often for the worse. Less widely noted is that social influence is a two-way street: Our environments are in large part themselves a product of the choices we make. Society embraces regulations that limit physical harm to others, as when smoking restrictions are defended as protecting bystanders from secondhand smoke. But we have been slower to endorse parallel steps that discourage harmful social environments, as when regulators fail to note that the far greater harm caused when someone becomes a smoker is to make others more likely to smoke. In Under the Influence, Robert Frank attributes this regulatory asymmetry to the laudable belief that individuals should accept responsibility for their own behavior. Yet that belief, he argues, is fully compatible with public policies that encourage supportive social environments. Most parents hope, for example, that their children won't grow up to become smokers, bullies, tax cheats, sexual predators, or problem drinkers. But each of these hopes is less likely to be realized whenever such behaviors become more common. Such injuries are hard to measure, Frank acknowledges, but that's no reason for policymakers to ignore them. The good news is that a variety of simple policy measures could foster more supportive social environments without ushering in the dreaded nanny state or demanding painful sacrifices from anyone."

Serie: Geological Society special publication 43

Inhalt: This book contains papers presented at a joint meeting of the Metamorphic Studies Group and IGCP Project 235 (Metamorphism and Geodynamics) held at University College Dublin in September 1987. Recent developments in the methods and application of geothermometry and geobarometry, relative thermobarometry and in textural and isotopic dating of metamorphic events are reviewed. New thermal and tectonic models for metamorphism in different tectonic settings are presented. Case studies make up a substantial part of the book, many in the form of short summary papers that describe P-T-t paths for specific field areas from different tectonic settings world-wide. The broad range of topics covered reflects the multidisciplinary character of research on the thermal evolution of metamorphic belts - an area that is opening up an exciting interface between petrology, geochronology and tectonics.
