History of Universities
Volume XXII/1 of History of Universities contains the customary mix of learned articles, book reviews, conference reports, and bibliographical information, which makes this publication such an indispensable tool for the historian of higher education. Its contributions range widely geographically, chronologically, and in subject-matter. The volume is, as always, a lively combination of original research and invaluable reference material.
Turning Prayers into Protests
Turning Prayers into Protests is a comparative study of religious-based oppositional activity in Slovakia and East Germany prior to 1989. Religion was a central arena for culture, thought, and social organization in the societies that became communist after the Second World War. It was thus a primary concern for communist regimes. The author examines the various and divergent grass-roots activism of the secret Catholic Church in Slovakia and the Lutheran Church in East Germany that confronted state socialist rule and contributed to its eventual dismantling. He compares the two cases in terms of the political power, influence and affect that these Churches had in regard to state repression or cooptation, vividly demonstrating that religion could provide a space for independence beyond state control as well as a foundation for resistance.

Aspergers Kinder
Wien 1938: Der Arzt Hans Asperger beschreibt Symptome bei Kindern, die er unter die Diagnose "autistische Psychopathie" fasst. Er hatte bei Patienten Schwächen im sozialen Verhalten beobachtet. Im selben Jahr ziehen die Nationalsozialisten in Wien ein. Asperger sollte bald verantworten, dass Kinder, die er für "nicht sozial integrierbar" hielt, in der Anstalt Am Spiegelgrund zu "Euthanasie"-Opfern wurden. Edith Sheffer, Mutter eines von Autismus betroffenen Kindes, hat sich auf die Suche nach den Ursprüngen der Diagnose begeben. Sie zeigt, welche Wertvorstellungen Asperger geprägt haben und welche Entwicklung die Diagnose genommen hat. Ihr berührendes und eindrucksvolles Buch wirft ein neues Licht auf die Geschichte der Psychiatrie im Nationalsozialismus und auf das Asperger-Syndrom.
