A Lonely Battle Stance
Heinrich Thibaut was a Civil War soldier who was forced beyond the conventional battlefield directly into one just as violent and intense, but much more personal. He suffers disabling wounds, escapes from a deadly confederate prison and then gets a close-up look at slavery. He is immersed in the blood drenched aftermath of Gettysburg, but in the midst of it all, meets the love of his life. Where does he belong, with her, or off to fulfill his duty? While most young men his age are following orders to charge to their deaths he drags himself up and has the courage and conviction to question, WHY?

Contemporary Germany is a modern industrial democracy admired throughout the world. Many Germans believe that they live in the 'best Germany' that has ever existed.

They are part of a global movement, often characterized as populist, that values tradition over innovation or constant change. In Germany, such people are routinely portrayed as reactionary or even neo- fascist. The present study seeks to provide a portrait of these individuals and their organizations.

The Songs of Fanny Hensel is a groundbreaking collection of new scholarship on Hensel's highly original contributions to the genre of song, the art form that she said "suits her best."
Progress in Enantioselective Cu(I)-catalyzed Formation of Stereogenic Centers
The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical overviews of research results in organometallic chemistry. As our understanding of organometallic structure, properties and mechanisms increases, new ways are opened for the design of organometallic compounds and reactions tailored to the needs of such diverse areas as organic synthesis, medical research, biology and materials science. Thus the scope of coverage includes a broad range of topics of pure and applied organometallic chemistry, where new breakthroughs are being achieved that are of significance to a larger scientific audience. The individual volumes of Topics in Organometallic Chemistry are thematic. Review articles are generally invited by the volume editors. All chapters from Topics in Organometallic Chemistry are published OnlineFirst with an individual DOI. In references, Topics in Organometallic Chemistry is abbreviated as Top Organomet Chem and cited as a journal.
