The 1848 Revolutions in German-Speaking Europe
In 1848 the continent of Europe was rocked by revolutions: only Great Britain and Russia remained relatively immune to the upheaval. Most spectacularly, the Revolutions swept across the German-speaking lands of central Europe, with the newly-released forces of nationalism and mass popular protest smashing the reactionary Metternich regimes which had held sway since the defeat of Napoleon. The Metternich system was dead: nationalism and national self-determination asserted themselves as the dominant dynamic forces of continental Europe in the later nineteenth century. This impressive history examines the political and social implications of the 1848 Revolutions for the future destiny and shape of Europe as a whole, and explores the wider forces at play in the German lands of nineteenth-century Europe.
'Trash,' Censorship, and National Identity in Early Twentieth Century Germany
A legal and cultural history of censorship, youth protection, and national identity in early twentieth-century Germany.
Friedrich Hecker
Friedrich Hecker (1811-1881) lived the first half of his life in the Grand Duchy of Baden, a small state in southern Germany. He was a major leader of a rebellion on behalf of the German republican movement in 1848, but his defeat forced him into exile in America. There he spent the second half of his life as a farmer in southern Illinois, helping to found the Republican Party and campaigning among his countrymen in local and national elections. During the Civil War he served bravely, fighting in some of the most important battles. Although much better known in Germany than in America, he founded a remarkable family in the Midwest that is still flourishing and is a major example of the melding of the European and American traditions of liberty. The work draws heavily from original sources, including letters and diaries at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection, the Missouri Historical Society, and the St. Louis Mercantile Library.
Science, Medicine, and the State in Germany
This superb account of the development of scientific research in the state of Baden places the growth of science in nineteenth century Germany within a broad social and economic context. The book analyses the progress of scientific research and its institutionalization in the state university system. Focusing on the experimental sciences, the book explores the introduction of the research ethic into the university medical curriculum, and the process by which laboratory science came to be an essential pedagogical tool in the education of future citizens of the state. The social and economic changes that ultimately transformed Germany into a modern industrial state are also considered. It was ...

Wissensräume im Wandel
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Bedeutung regionaler, nationaler und globaler Räume für die Genese einer agrarwissenschaftlichen Tabakforschung während der Sattelzeit. Seit den Unabhängigkeitskriegen in Nordamerika und der napoleonischen Zeit expandierte in Europa der Tabakanbau. Im Fokus des Buches stehen Agrarexperten aus dem deutsch-französischen Kontext, die landwirtschaftliches Reformwissen auf die Anforderungen der Tabakpflanze übertrugen. Während Historikerinnen und Historiker für den untersuchten Zeitraum vor allem die Bedeutung der Nationalisierung der Wissenschaften betonen, verdeutlicht diese Studie insbesondere die Prägekraft regionaler, grenzübergreifender Wissen...
