Inhalt: "Impressively researched and written with the linguist's precision and flair for language, World Orders Old and New offers a stimulating, fresh perspective from which to view an intellectual culture defined by such dubious political critics as Rush Limbaugh and Dan Quayle."--BOOK JACKET

Inhalt: "Noam Chomsky, the left's leading critic of government policy, power, and language, takes on the international scene since 1945, devoting particular attention to events following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In World Orders Old and New, he develops an eloquent, incendiary, and forceful critique of Western government, from imperialist foreign policies to the Clinton administration's empty promises to the poor." "Chomsky offers a skeptic's guide to the modern language of power, taking readers on a journey through the Middle East, Central America, Eastern Europe, and other regions of the world where the U.S. makes myriad efforts to "maintain stability" or "restore hope." World Orders Old and New introduces readers to the so-called New World Order, where hopes for international peace and democracy have been challenged by numerous outbreaks of ethnic and regional violence." "With characteristic freshness and intensity, Chomsky reviews the history of superpower efforts to check territorial aggression, citing the war in the Gulf as a prime example of Western bravado, and examines these efforts from his own unique political perspective." "Turning to America, he uncovers the disappointments and doublespeak of the Clinton administration's domestic economic program. In Chomsky's view, the current president's hypocrisy is matched only by the distortions of his policies by the media, especially the New York Times." "Concluding with an assessment of the recent Israeli-Palestinian accord - in which Chomsky expresses concern for the victimization of the Palestinians - this major thinker of our time focuses his no-holds-barred attention once more on the powerless, the power-hungry, and the power-mongers in our increasingly global community

Inhalt: "Traditionally, scholars of war and conflict have focused on men's experiences. Men comprised the armies, and men suffered the most casualties in formal conflicts. In short, gender was rarely considered at all. Yet with the onset of total war in the twentieth century, such a rigidly gendered approach no longer made sense, if it ever did. In virtually every major conflict since the onset of World War II, women suffered enormously. In recent times, scholars of war and conflict have paid far more attention to the role of women in conflict, both as civilians and -occasionally--as participants. But this is not to say that the study of gender and conflict is simply about women. Gender is a two-way street, and the best work on the topic has been cognizant of men, women, and the interactions between men and women. In The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Conflict, Naomi Cahn, Fionnuala Ni Aoilain, and Dina Haynes focus on the multidimensionality of gender in conflict, yet they also prioritize the experience of women given both the changing nature of war and the historical de-emphasis on women's experiences.Operating from this basic intellectual foundation, the editors have arranged the book into seven core sections: the theoretical foundations of the role of gender in violent conflicts; the sources for studying contemporary conflict; the conflicts themselves; the post-conflict process; institutions and actors; the challenges presented by the evolving nature of war; and, finally, a substantial set of case studies from across the globe. Genuinely comprehensive, this volume will not only serve as an authoritative overview of this massive topic, it will set the research agenda for years to come"--

Inhalt: Der Bericht des als freier Korrespondent in London für die New York Times und andere Publikumsorgane schreibenden amerikanischen Journalisten über den Londoner Holocaust-Prozess geht über den unmittelbar geschriebenen Prozessbericht von E. Menasse (BA 12/00) insofern hinaus, als hier nicht nur ausführlicher, genau und vorurteilsfrei über den Prozessverlauf D. Irving gegen D. Lipstadt berichtet wird, sondern auch die geistigen Hintergründe stärkere Beachtung finden. Außerdem wurde im Prozessverlauf durch Zeugenvernehmungen, historische Gutachten (dazu P. Longerich "Der ungeschriebene Befehl", BA 12/01) und vorgelegte Dokumente der systematische Charakter der Ermordung der europäischen Juden durch die Nazis zweifelsfrei erwiesen. Seit dem Urteil vom 11. April 2000 darf Irving einer der schlimmsten Holocaust-Leugner genannt werden. Zur Ergänzung von Menasse, Longerich und Lipstadt ("Betrifft: Leugnen des Holocaust", BA 9/94) breit verwendbar. (2 S) (Friedrich Andrae)

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: "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."

Inhalt: It's been five years since Summer Marks was brutally murdered in the woods. Everyone thinks Mia and Brynn killed their best friend. That driven by their obsession with a novel called The Way into Lovelorn the three girls had imagined themselves into the magical world where their fantasies became twisted, even deadly. The only thing is: they didn't do it. On the anniversary of Summer's death, a seemingly insignificant discovery resurrects the mystery and pulls Mia and Brynn back together once again. But as the lines begin to blur between past and present and fiction and reality, the girls must confront what really happened in the woods all those years ago-no matter how monstrous. With all the intensity and whiplash turns of Gone Girl and One of Us Is Lying, this engrossing psychological thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver is an unforgettable, mesmerizing tale of exquisite obsession, spoiled innocence, and impossible friendships.

Anmerkung: Texte in deutscher und englischer Sprache , In diesem Band erforscht die Fotografin Christine Fenzl die Lebensbedingungen von Jugendlichen in den Berliner Bezirken Hellersdorf, Hohenschönhausen, Lichtenberg und Marzahn - Stadtviertel, die vor der Wende zum Osten gehörten und in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten starken sozialen und urbanen Veränderungen ausgesetzt waren. Während die Mauer den Lebensraum ihrer Eltern stark geprägt hat, ist dies für die nach dem Mauerfall geborene Generation nicht mehr vorstellbar. In sensiblen Aufnahmen spürt Christine Fenzl den Geschichten, Erwartungen und der Auseinandersetzung der Jugendlichen mit dem heutigen Berlin nach. Mit Jugendlichen und den Bedingungen ihres sozialen Umfelds hat sich Christine Fenzl bereits in anderen Serien beschäftigt, beispielsweise dem Projekt striking chance - streetfootball, für das sie Fußball spielende Kinder in Nairobi, Skopje, London und den Favelas von S̃ao Paulo besucht hat. CHRISTINE FENZL (*1967, München) besuchte die Münchner Fotoschule und lebte zwei Jahre in New York. Ihre Fotografien wurden u.a. in Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Stern, The New York Sunday Times veröffentlicht und werden international ausgestellt. Seit 1992 lebt sie in Berlin. "Einerseits sensibilisieren ihre Porträts jugendlichen Lebens im Ostberlin der Gegenwart für das individuell Diverse der biographischen Reaktionen auf DDR-Geschichte und zeigen die Widersprüche und Vielfältigkeiten der Landschaften, womit in besonderer Weise jede verallgemeinernde und stereotypisierende Redeweise mit Blick auf ganze Gruppen dementiert ist. Andererseits - so ging es mir als unzulässig typisiertem "Westdeutschen" bei der Lektüre - schafft die Fotografin einen Identifikationsraum, der - jenseits der geschichtlichen Besonderheiten und Bezüge - das Phänomen des Aufwachsens in all seinen Widrigkeiten in den Blick nimmt, unabhängig von der Folie des ostdeutschen Lebensraums; die gezeigten Persönlichkeiten sind also nicht gänzlich Andere, sondern haben etwas mit meiner Sozialisationsgeschichte und den Erinnerungen daran zu tun. Auch im ästhetischen Sinne stellt das Werk Fenzls damit eine unschätzbare Erweiterung vieler bestehender Beobachtungen zu diesem Themenkomplex dar und wartet sicherlich noch auf viele weitere Erklärungs- und Deutungsversuche" (literaturkritik.de)

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.
