The Use and Abuse of Memory
Decades after the previously unimaginable horrors of the Nazi extermination camps and the dropping of nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, their memories remain part of our lives. In academic and human terms, preserving awareness of this past is an ethical imperative. This volume concerns narratives about—and allusions to—World War II across contemporary Europe, and explains why contemporary Europeans continue to be drawn to it as a template of comparison, interpretation, even prediction. This volume adds a distinctly interdisciplinary approach to the trajectories of recent academic inquiries. Historians, sociologists, anthropologists, linguists, political scientists, and area study specialists contribute wide-ranging theoretical paradigms, disciplinary frameworks, and methodological approaches. The volume focuses on how, where, and to what effect World War II has been remembered. The editors discuss how World War II in particular continues to be a point of reference across the political spectrum and not only in Europe. It will be of interest for those interested in popular culture, World War II history, and national identity studies.
Caspar David Friedrich
Neue Sensibilität für die Natur Im Zentrum von Caspar David Friedrichs Werk steht ein neuer Blick auf Natur. Die Landschaftsgemälde und Zeichnungen des bedeutendsten Künstlers der deutschen Romantik brechen dabei mit tradierten Darstellungsmustern. Stattdessen verbindet sich in ihnen ein ungewöhnlich präzises Naturstudium mit einem durchgreifenden Willen zur Bildkomposition. Auf diese Weise bahnen Friedrichs Bilder einen neuen Weg, um über die ambivalente Wechselbeziehung zwischen Mensch und Natur nachzudenken. Sie machen erfahrbar, dass der Mensch Teil der Natur ist und ihr zugleich sehend und reflektierend gegenübertritt. Das Buch zur großen Friedrich-Retrospektive trägt dazu bei...

Newer Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry V3
Newer Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry, Volume III focuses on the improved methods in preparative organic chemistry. This book presents a variety of topics, including the synthesis of acetylenes, methods for the preparation of pyrylium salts, and the use of phosphoric acid chlorides in the preparation of esters of phosphoric acids. Organized into 11 chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the reaction between methylene and sulfur involving dehydrogenation or oxidation. This text then examines the chemistry of pyridine, which exhibits different reaction characteristics than benzene. Other chapters consider the cyclic derivatives of carboxylic acids, such as lactams, lactones, or thiolactones, which can be converted by partial reduction into heterocycles of the same ring size. The final chapter outlines the fundamental reactions of diazoketones and discusses the preparative significance of the diazoketones. This book is a valuable resource for synthetic organic chemists involved in research institutions and industrial laboratories.
