Doctors Under Hitler
"A brilliant attempt to explain the profound historical crisis into which medicine had plummeted during the Nazi period with the tried methods of social history.--Historische Zeitschrift "The author has drawn from an extraordinary range of sources, and the weight of evidence he compiles will certainly give pause to anyone who still wants to believe that professionals kept their hands clean in this era of great and methodical crimes.--Journal of Modern History "Kater's important book deserves close attention from historians of medicine and German historians alike.--Isis In this history of medicine and the medical profession in the Third Reich, Michael Kater examines the career patterns, educational training, professional organization, and political socialization of German physicians under Hitler. His discussion ranges widely, from doctors who participated in Nazi atrocities, to those who actively resisted the regime's perversion of healing, to the vast majority whose ideology and behavior fell somewhere between the two extremes. He also takes a chilling look at the post-Hitler medical establishment's problematic relationship to the Nazi past. -->

Rethinking Schumann
A provocative re-examination of a major romantic composer, Rethinking Schumann provides fresh approaches to Schumann's oeuvre and its reception from the perspectives of literature, visual arts, cultural history, performance studies, dance, and film. Traditionally, research has focused on biographical links between the composer and his music, encouraging the assumption that Schumann was solitary, divorced from reality, and frequently associated with "untimeliness." These eighteen new essays argue from a multitude of perspectives that Schumann was in fact very much a man of his time, informed not only by music but also the culture and society around him. The book further reveals that the compo...
Hemostasis and Stroke
Hemostasis and Stroke presents an exciting and new understanding of current investigations and applications in stroke therapy. Although research in stroke, hematology, and related fields has made enormous progress in the last decade, stroke still remains one of the leading causes of death today. To achieve an interdisciplinary approach to current research and practice in the management of thrombosis of cerebrovascular disorders, scientists and clinicans worldwide met in Lübeck, Germany, in May 1993 for an International Symposium on Hemostasis and Stroke. This book represents the proceedings of the symposium. It also summarizes the results of recent stroke prevention trials, including critical reviews on current recommendations of acetylsalicyclic acid and the usefulness of ticlopidine. In addition, animal models of experimental cerebral ischemia are viewed under their possible application for research in embolic stroke.
Clara Schumann
This absorbing and award-winning biography tells the story of the tragedies and triumphs of Clara Wieck Schumann (1819-1896), a musician of remarkable achievements. At once artist, composer, editor, teacher, wife, and mother of eight children, she was an important force in the musical world of her time. To show how Schumann surmounted the obstacles facing female artists in the nineteenth century, Nancy B. Reich has drawn on previously unexplored primary sources: unpublished diaries, letters, and family papers, as well as concert programs. Going beyond the familiar legends of the Schumann literature, she applies the tools of musicological scholarship and the insights of psychology to provide ...
