Franz Boas
Franz Boas defined the concept of cultural relativism and reoriented the humanities and social sciences away from race science toward an antiracist and anticolonialist understanding of human biology and culture. Franz Boas: Shaping Anthropology and Fostering Social Justice is the second volume in Rosemary Lévy Zumwalt's two-part biography of the renowned anthropologist and public intellectual. Zumwalt takes the reader through the most vital period in the development of Americanist anthropology and Boas's rise to dominance in the subfields of cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, ethnography, and linguistics. Boas's emergence as a prominent public intellectual, particularly his oppos...

Elementary Quantum Mechanics (Expanded Edition)
Quantum mechanics is a difficult subject for students to learn after years of rigorous training in classical physics. In quantum mechanics they have to abandon what they have laboriously learned and adopt a new system of thinking.In the previous edition of this book, the author reformulated classical mechanics as a classical theory with an undetermined constant. As the constant approaches zero the theory reduces to Newton's exactly, but when set equal to the Planck constant the theory reduces to the Schrödinger representation of quantum mechanics. Thus the new theory, at least in its mathematical form, can be learned without ramifications and complexity. Over the years, the book has shepher...

Grundbesitz und Militärdienst
Neben dem Drang, sich unter den Augen des Königs auszuzeichnen, Ruhm und Ehre zu erwerben, waren es vor allem wirtschaftliche Gründe, die die pommerschen Edelleute im 18. Jahrhundert dazu bewogen, in den preußischen Militärdienst einzutreten. Dabei lag ihr Engagement deutlich über dem der Adligen aus anderen Landesteilen der Monarchie. Die etwa 1.600 Kurzbiografien im ersten Teilband zeichnen die militärische Laufbahn nach und geben Einblicke in die sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse der Offiziersfamilien. Die im zweiten Teilband enthaltene Auflistung der Güter zeigt, dass es nur noch wenige Besitzungen gab, die über Generationen hinweg bei einer Familie blieben.

The Trial of a Nazi Doctor
The Trial of a Nazi Doctor examines the life of Franz Bernhard Lucas (1911-1994), an SS camp doctor with assignments in Auschwitz, Mauthausen, Stutthof, Ravensbrück, and Sachsenhausen. Covering his career during the Third Reich and then his prosecution after 1945, especially in the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial, Andrew Wisely explores the lies, obfuscations, misrepresentation, and confusions that Lucas himself created to deny, distract from or excuse his participation in the Nazi’s genocidal projects. By juxtaposing Lucas’s own testimonies and those of a wide range of witnesses: former camp inmates and Holocaust survivors; friends, colleagues, and relatives; and media observers, Wisely provides a nuanced study of witness testimonies and the moral identity of Holocaust perpetrators.
