Breslau museal
Das Kulturerbe von Breslau (Wroclaw) bildet eine Schnittstelle der Geschichte Deutschlands, Polens und Tschechiens. Seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zeugen wirkmachtige Ausstellungen vom historischen Bewusstsein des schlesischen Burgertums. Auch nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, der zu einem nahezu vollstandigen Austausch der Bewohnerschaft dieser bedeutenden Groastadt fuhrte, uberdauerten in den Museen lokale Traditionen die Zeiten nationaler Aufrechnungen. Am Beispiel herausragender Geschichtsausstellungen aus elf Jahrzehnten beleuchtet die Studie den wandelnden Umgang mit der bewegten Vergangenheit der schlesischen Landeshauptstadt, ihrer konfessionellen und nationalen Minderheiten sowie der deutsch-polnischen Konflikt- und Versohnungsgeschichte.

13 Things That Don't Make Sense
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.
Forgotten Land
East Prussia is no longer on any map, though it was once a thriving land, famously military, deeply forested, artistically fertile, and the birthplace of Immanuel Kant. As the scene of Stalin’s ‘terrible revenge’ it came to embody the turbulence of the twentieth century, was carved up between Poland and the USSR after World War II – and passed abruptly into history. Embarking on a remarkable journey through landscape and memory, Max Egremont has woven the stories of ghosts and survivors into an evocative and deeply moving meditation on identity and the passing of time. ‘East Prussia’s successful evocation demands both the mind of a poet who can delineate the scale of human loss, ...
A Brief History of the Future
What will planet Earth be like in twenty years? At mid-century? In the year 2100? Prescient and convincing, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future. Never has the world offered more promise for the future and been more fraught with dangers. Attali anticipates an unraveling of American hegemony as transnational corporations sever the ties linking free enterprise to democracy. World tensions will be primed for horrific warfare for resources and dominance. The ultimate question is: Will we leave our children and grandchildren a world that is not only viable but better, or in this nuclear world bequeath to them a planet that will be a living hell? Either way, he warns, the time to act is now.
