Otto von Simson 1912–1993
Rubens und die Gotische Kathedrale, Ravenna und Caspar David Friedrich gehörten zum wissenschaftlichen Diskurs des Kunsthistorikers Otto von Simson (1912–1993). Aber nicht nur die Bandbreite seiner Forschungen fasziniert, sondern auch sein außergewöhnlicher Lebensweg, der von den Erschütterungen des 20. Jahrhunderts geprägt wurde, und seine vielseitige Persönlichkeit, die Wissenschaft, Kulturpolitik und Diplomatie in sich vereint. Hineingeboren in die großbürgerliche jüdisch-preußische Gesellschaft im Berlin der Wilhelminischen Epoche, setzten die politischen Umbrüche des Nationalsozialismus der Kontinuität der vorgezeichneten wissenschaftlichen Laufbahn von Simsons ein jähes ...

The German Chemical Industry in the Twentieth Century
In the twentieth century, dyes, pharmaceuticals, photographic products, explosives, insecticides, fertilizers, synthetic rubber, fuels, and fibers, plastics, and other products have flowed out of the chemical industry and into the consumer economies, war machines, farms, and medical practices of industrial societies. The German chemical industry has been a major site for the development and application of the science-based technologies that gave rise to these products, and has had an important role as exemplar, stimulus, and competitor in the international chemical industry. This volume explores the German chemical industry's scientific and technological dimension, its international connections, and its development after 1945. The authors relate scientific and technological change in the industry to evolving German political and economic circumstances, including two world wars, the rise and fall of National Socialism, the post-war division of Germany, and the emergence of a global economy. This book will be of interest to historians of modern Germany, to historians of science and technology, and to business and economic historians.

The Weimar Moment
The Weimar Moment's evocative assault on closure and political reaction, its offering of democracy against the politics of narrow self-interest cloaked in nationalist appeals to Volk and "community"--or, as would be the case in Nazi Germany, "race"--cannot but appeal to us today. This appeal--its historical grounding and content, its complexities and tensions, its variegated expressions across the networks of power and thought--is the essential context of the present volume, whose basic premise is unhappiness with Hegel's remark that we learn no more from history than we cannot learn from it. The challenge of the papers in this volume is to provide the material to confront the present effectively drawing from what we can and do understand.
