From June to October
The causes of the October War in Israel can be traced to the political, economic, and strategic processes that occurred in the Middle East between 1967 and 1973. The papers compiled in this book were presented in the aftermath of the October War at an international colloquium held at Tel Aviv University. The growth 'and power of Middle East oil-producing countries, changes in inter-Arab relations, domestic policies, foreign policies, and strategic changes in the Middle East arena are analyzed and evaluated by American and Israeli scholars. American foreign policy, Soviet military doctrine, and Arab war aims are dealt with as well. The introduction which summarizes the discussion reflects the perspective of December 1974 from which the events of the years 1967-1973 were seen and evaluated.
The Radical Right in Switzerland
There has been a tendency amongst scholars to view Switzerland as a unique case, and comparative scholarship on the radical right has therefore shown little interest in the country. Yet, as the author convincingly argues, there is little justification for maintaining the notion of Swiss exceptionalism, and excluding the Swiss radical right from cross-national research. His book presents the first comprehensive study of the development of the radical right in Switzerland since the end of the Second World War and therefore fills a significant gap in our knowledge. It examines the role that parties and political entrepreneurs of the populist right, intellectuals and publications of the New Right, as well as propagandists and militant groups of the extreme right assume in Swiss politics and society. The author shows that post-war Switzerland has had an electorally and discursively important radical right since the 1960s that has exhibited continuity and persistence in its organizations and activities. Recently, this has resulted in the consolidation of a diverse Swiss radical right that is now established at various levels within the political and public arena.

Alone with Others
Times of crisis expose how we experience social, physical, and emotional forms of distance. Alone with Others explores how these experiences overlap, shaping our coexistence. Departing from conventional debates that associate intimacy with affection and distance with alienation, Haustein introduces tact as a particular mode of feeling one's way and making space in the sphere of human interaction. Reconstructing tact's conceptual history from the late eighteenth century to the present, she focuses on two World Wars, and 1968, as three periods of socio-political upheaval. In a series of reading encounters with Marcel Proust, Helmuth Plessner, Theodor Adorno, François Truffaut, and Roland Barthes, Haustein invites us to reconsider our own ways of engaging with other people, images, and texts, and to gauge the significance of tact today. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Zur Beziehung von Mensch und Architektur
Das Buch leistet einen originellen Beitrag für eine leibphänomenologisch-soziologische Architekturforschung. Die Autorin schließt mit Helmuth Plessner und der Neuen Phänomenologie von Hermann Schmitz an theoretische Ansätze an, die von der Prämisse ausgehen, Leiblichkeit als ein konstitutives und dynamisches Strukturmoment leiblicher Existenz zu würdigen. Anhand komparativer Forschung in zwei Bibliotheken wird exemplarisch aufgezeigt, wie eine leibphänomenologisch positionierte Architektursoziologie in Theorie und Empirie zum Ausdruck kommen kann und wie leibphänomenologisch-soziologische Methoden angewendet werden können. Ausgehend von der empirischen Studie schließt das Buch mit einem perspektivischen Vorschlag, wie sich die Erscheinungsweise von Architektur fassen, verstehen und denken lässt. Die Autorin eröffnet einen Möglichkeitsraum, Architektur als transitives, flüchtiges und ephemeres Kommunikationsmedium zu verstehen und sensibilisiert für einen ökologischen und nachhaltigen Blick auf Baukultur.
Exploring Animal Encounters
This collection of essays offers multifaceted explorations of animal encounters in a range of philosophical, cultural, literary, and historical contexts. Exploring Animal Encounters encourages us to think about the richness and complexity of animal lives and human-animal relations, foregrounding the intricate roles nonhuman creatures play in the always already more-than-human sphere of ethics and politics. In this way, the essays in this volume can be understood as a contribution to alternative imaginings of interspecies coexistence in a time in which the issue of human relations with earth and earth others has come to the fore with unprecedented force and severity.
