This highly original book draws on narrative and film theory, psychoanalysis, and musicology to explore the relationship between aesthetics and anti-Semitism in two controversial landmarks in German culture. David Levin argues that Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and Fritz Lang's 1920s film Die Nibelungen creatively exploit contrasts between good and bad aesthetics to address the question of what is German and what is not. He shows that each work associates a villainous character, portrayed as non-Germanic and Jewish, with the sometimes dramatically awkward act of narration. For both Wagner and Lang, narration--or, in cinematic terms, visual presentation--possesses a typ...
This is the first supplementary volume on silicon-nitrogen compounds. It begins with the system silicon-nitrogen and continues with the binary silicon nitrides, except for Si3N4 that will be the subject of a separate Handbook volume. A chapter describes anionic formula units of the type SixNr and includes a condensed description of a series of ternary silicon nitrides. A treatment follows of the molecular and polymeric silicon-nitrogen-hydrogen compounds in which hydrogen is bonded either to silicon, or to nitrogen, or to both. In other words, those compounds have been selected for this chapter in which one or more nitrogen atoms are bonded to silicon and also those compounds in which additi...

Metal clusters are on the brink between molecules and nanoparticles in size. With molecular, nano-scale, metallic as well as non-metallic aspects, metal clusters are a growing, interdisciplinary field with numerous potential applications in chemistry, catalysis, materials and nanotechnology. This third volume in the series of hot topics from inorganic chemistry covers all recent developments in the field of metal clusters, with some 20 contributions providing an in-depth view. The result is a unique perspective, illustrating all facets of this interdisciplinary area: * Inter-electron Repulsion and Irregularities in the Chemistry of Transition Series * Stereochemical Activity of Lone Pairs in...
