Age of Entanglement
Age of Entanglement explores the patterns of connection linking German and Indian intellectuals from the nineteenth century to the years after the Second World War. Kris Manjapra traces the intersecting ideas and careers of philologists, physicists, poets, economists, and others who shared ideas, formed networks, and studied one another's worlds. Moving beyond well-rehearsed critiques of colonialism, this study recasts modern intellectual history in terms of the knotted intellectual itineraries of seeming strangers. Collaborations in the sciences, arts, and humanities produced extraordinary meetings of German and Indian minds. Meghnad Saha met Albert Einstein, Stella Kramrisch brought the Ba...
Nazi Propaganda Films
Hitler and the Nazis saturated their country with many types of propaganda to convince the German citizenry that the Nazi ideology was the only ideology. One type of propaganda that the Nazis relied on heavily was cinematic. This work focuses on Nazi propaganda feature films and feature-length documentaries made in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and released to the public. Some of them were Staatsauftragsfilme, films produced by order of and financed by the Third Reich. The films are arranged by subject and then alphabetically, and complete cast and production credits are provided for each. Short biographies of actors, directors, producers, and other who were involved in the making of Nazi propaganda films are also provided.
Hegelianism

Reformhindernisse im internationalen Investitionsrecht
Das internationale Investitionsrecht befindet sich in einer Umbruchsphase. Die seit geraumer Zeit existierende Kritik an der traditionellen Ausgestaltung zwischenstaatlicher Investitionsabkommen hat Eingang in die neuere Vertragspraxis gefunden. Moderne Investitionsabkommen sind praziser formuliert, enthalten haufiger Ausnahmetatbestande und sollen so staatliche Regulierungsspielraume starker berucksichtigen. Diese vielfach beschworene Reform des Investitionsrechts steht jedoch weiterhin vor erheblichen rechtlichen Herausforderungen. Denn eine der Besonderheiten der Rechtsmaterie ist ihre mangelnde Harmonisierung und die Wechselwirkungen, die zwischen der grossen Zahl neuer und alterer Investitionsabkommen entstehen konnen. Die so hervorgerufenen normativen Spannungsverhaltnisse fuhren zu einer Reihe neuer Rechtsfragen, denen sich Joscha Muller in seiner Untersuchung eingehend widmet.
Prisons of Light
What is a black hole? Could we survive a visit to one? Perhaps even venture inside? What would we find? Have we yet discovered any real black holes? And what do black holes teach us about what physicist John Archibald Wheeler called “the deep, happy, mysteries of the universe”? These are just a few of the tantalizing questions examined in this jargon-free review of one of the most fascinating topics in modern science. In search of the answers, we trace a star from its birth to its death throes, take a fabulous hypothetical journey to the border of a black hole and beyond, spend time with some of the world’s leading theoretical physicists and observational astronomers scanning the cosmos for evidence of real black holes, and take a whimsical look at some of the wild ideas black holes have inspired.
Marx, the Young Hegelians, and the Origins of Radical Social Theory
This is the first major study of Marx and the Young Hegelians in twenty years. The book offers a new interpretation of Marx's early development, the political dimension of Young Hegelianism, and that movement's relationship to political and intellectual currents in early nineteenth-century Germany. Warren Breckman challenges the orthodox distinction drawn between the exclusively religious concerns of Hegelians in the 1830s and the sociopolitical preoccupations of the 1840s. He shows that there are inextricable connections between the theological, political and social discourses of the Hegelians in the 1830s. The book draws together an account of major figures such as Feuerbach and Marx, with discussions of lesser-known but significant figures such as Eduard Gans, August Cieszkowski, Moses Hess, F. W. J. Schelling as well as such movements as French Saint-Simonianism and 'positive philosophy'. Wide-ranging in scope and synthetic in approach, this is an important book for historians of philosophy, theology, political theory and nineteenth-century ideas.
