155
On November 11, 2000, a train caught fire in a mountain tunnel at the Kaprun ski resort in Austria, killing 155 people. The disaster and its aftermath traumatized the nation. This in-depth account by authors Hannes Uhl and Hubertus Godeysen brings the events to life and reveals the astonishing incompetence and corruption that led to the accident and undermined the subsequent trial. 155: The Kaprun Cover-Up serves as a warning to people in every country about threats to public safety and the rule of law.
It's all about the spirit
Gerhard Drexel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Spar Austria, tells the story of how the company became the number 1 Austrian food retailer after years of catching up to the competition. In doing so, he designs a modern counter-model to the spirit-free, technocratic-sterile leadership style. He shows how, with the right spirit, employees can be motivated on the path to market leadership. In Drexel's model, companies are there for the people again instead of the other way around, and that's exactly what makes them successful.

The Topophilia Effect
Health. Success. Love. How do the places where we live, work or spend our vacations, affect our life? Historian Roberta Rio is researching the history of buildings, apartments or land and finds recurring patterns. In this book she shows, based on old knowledge and new research results, what we should know about the effect of places and how we find out.
Buchpaket - Die Ära Faymann
Die Darstellung der Regierungszeit von Werner Faymann ist keine Biografie des österreichischen Bundeskanzlers der Jahre 2008 bis 2016, sondern der Versuch einer Gesamtdarstellung der österreichischen Politik dieser Jahre, die durch die erheblichen Folgen externer Ereignisse – die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise, die Besetzung der Krim durch Russland und die Flüchtlingskrise – sowie durch ordnungspolitische Differenzen der Regierungsparteien und innerparteiliche Krisen gekennzeichnet waren. Wenngleich Werner Faymann drei Vizekanzler und Parteiobmänner seines Koalitionspartners "verbrauchte", so waren es letztlich die innerparteilichen Spannungen in der SPÖ, die zu einem in dieser Form bisher einmaligen Ereignis und zum Rücktritt des Parteivorsitzenden und Bundeskanzlers führten, als er sich erstmals in der Geschichte der SPÖ beim traditionellen Mai-Aufmarsch auf dem Wiener Rathausplatz mit offen geäußerten Unmutsäußerungen von erheblichen Teilen der Parteibasis konfrontiert sah.
Zwischen Krisenbewältigung und Stillstand. Die Ära Faymann
Band 1 behandelt die Jahre 2008 bis 2013, die durch die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise und deren globale Auswirkungen geprägt waren, die im Fall Österreichs durch das starke Engagement des heimischen Bankensektors in Ost- und Mitteleuropa einen erheblichen Problemhaushalt verursachten. Im Rahmen der Darstellung der österreichischen Geschichte bilden die ordnungspolitischen Kontroversen der Regierungskoalition von SPÖ und ÖVP den zweiten Schwerpunkt der Analyse. Die Darstellung der Regierungszeit von Werner Faymann ist keine Biografie des österreichischen Bundeskanzlers der Jahre 2008 bis 2016, sondern der Versuch einer Gesamtdarstellung der österreichischen Politik dieser Jahre, die dur...
Gendering Fascism
What role did gender play in fascist visions and politics? The contributions in this volume map the category of gender in modern forms of political organisation and mobilisation of women and men; in propaganda and in the disciplining of bodies. In this theoretical framework, gender and fascism are seen as deeply intertwined. ‘Gendering fascism’ denotes a paradigmatic lens through which to explore the configurations, strategies, and technologies of fascist imaginaries and politics. Presenting empirical case studies of Europe, Asia and America as gendered sites of historical and transnational fascist engagement, the volume challenges lingering Eurocentric perspectives in fascism studies. Contributors are: Ryan Anningson, Anca Axinia, Andrea Germer, Brian J Griffith, Vera Marstaller, Meguro Akane, Toni Morant, Inbal Ofer, Hanna-Leena Paloposki, Andrea Pető, Jasmin Rückert, George Souvlis, Rosa Vasilaki, Caroline Waldron, and Dagmar Wernitznig.
