Learning Democracy
Scholarship on the history of West Germany's educational system has traditionally portrayed the postwar period of Allied occupation as a failure and the following decades as a time of pedagogical stagnation. Two decades after World War II, however, the Federal Republic had become a stable democracy, a member of NATO, and a close ally of the West. Had the schools really failed to contribute to this remarkable transformation of German society and political culture? This study persuasively argues that long before the protest movements of the late 1960s, the West German educational system was undergoing meaningful reform from within. Although politicians and intellectual elites paid little atten...
Germany and Vocational Education in Republican China
This book offers a new perspective on the transnational dimensions of China’s educational and economic history by focusing on Sino-German interactions in the field of vocational education. It explores how Chinese perceptions of manual work, vocational skills, and educational practices changed dramatically throughout the first half of the twentieth century as Chinese educators increased their efforts to study and translate German pedagogical writings. Case studies researched in this book illustrate how a Chinese appreciation for German technological and scientific advances and German interests in profiting from a growing Chinese economy are not just recent phenomena but have their roots in the early twentieth century.

Mein Leben für eine pädagogische Schule
In seinen spannend geschriebenen Lebenserinnerungen führt Wilhelm Ebert den Leser durch ein halbes Jahrhundert bildungspolitischer Entwicklungen mit seinen Höhen und Tiefen. Er war als Präsident des Bayerischen Lehrer- und Lehrerinnenverbandes, des Verbandes Bildung und Erziehung und der Weltvereinigung der Lehrerorganisationen auf bayerischer, deutscher und internationaler Ebene mitgestaltend tätig. Unermüdlich trat er ein für eine fruchtbare Verbindung von schulischem Lernen, politischem Handeln und wissenschaftlichem Forschen. Getreu seiner Überzeugung, dass Trennung Vorurteile schafft, bekämpfte er Fundamentalisten aller Art, die sich im Besitz absoluter Wahrheiten wähnten. Zentrales Motiv seines Handelns war stets die Sicherung einer wahrhaft pädagogischen Schule und der Freiheit des Lehrers. Die ungelöste Spannung zwischen Bildungsanspruch und Verwertungsnutzen, schulischer Tradition und erzieherischer Emanzipation bewegt nach wie vor sein Denken im Geist der Demokratie.
Under the Radar
1961. A squadron of Vulcan aircraft, Britain's most lethal nuclear bomber, flies towards the east coast of the United States. Highly manoeuvrable, the great delta-winged machines are also equipped with state of the art electronic warfare devices that jam American radar systems. Evading the fighters scrambled to intercept them, the British aircraft target Washington and New York, reducing them to smoking ruins. They would have done, at least, if this were not an exercise. This extraordinary raid (which actually took place) opens James Hamilton-Paterson's remarkable novel about the lives of British pilots at the height of the Cold War, when aircrew had to be on call 24 hours a day to fly their...
