Gorbachev: The Man and the System portrays Gorbachev's rise to power and his tenure in office against the background of a period of critical change and development in the Soviet system. The research is primarily based on Soviet materials, supplemented and critically compared with a wide range of Western press and academic studies. Both Zemtsov and Farrar bring to the analysis their own experiences, acquired under different circumstances. Part I focuses on a selected chronology of significant events from Gorbachev's assumption of power in March 1985 to June 1987. They examine leadership and personnel changes, the economy, the society, and the arts. Part II takes a look at foreign policies by ...

August 1991: Panzer auf Moskaus Straßen, Ausnahmezustand, der sowjetische Staatspräsident unter Hausarrest. Der Putsch am 19. August markiert das Ende der Ära Gorbatschow und den von da an nicht mehr aufzuhaltenden Untergang der Weltmacht Sowjetunion. Diese Zäsur in der russischen Nachkriegsgeschichte konnte mangels solider Quellen bisher nicht verlässlich und umfassend untersucht werden. Das Buch von Ignaz Lozo schließt diese Lücke. Der Russlandexperte und ehemalige Moskau-Berichterstatter hat zahlreiche Dokumente ausgewertet, die in Russland offiziell als Staatsgeheimnisse deklariert sind, und mehr als 30 Zeitzeugen befragt, darunter ehemalige Putschisten und Michail Gorbatschow selbst. War der sowjetische Präsident, wie oft behauptet, selbst einer der Verschwörer oder zumindest stiller Mitwisser? Lozos spannend geschriebenes Buch, das in Kürze auch als Übersetzung in Russland erscheint, legt die Hintergründe des Putsches dar, erläutert die Ursachen für sein Scheitern, zeigt die politischen Folgen auf und fragt nach Gorbatschows politischer Mitverantwortung. Ein historisch-politisches "Aufklärungsbuch" im besten Sinne!

Dark matter in the Universe has become one of the most exciting and central fields of astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology. The lectures and talks in this book emphasize the experimental and theoretical status and perspectives of the ongoing search for dark matter, and the future potential of the field into the next millennium, stressing in particular the interplay between astro- and particle physics.
The Physics of the Early Universe is an edited and expanded version of the lectures given at a recent summer school of the same name. Its aim is to present an advanced multi-authored textbook that meets the needs of both postgraduate students and young researchers interested in, or already working on, problems in cosmology and general relativity, with emphasis on the early universe. A particularly strong feature of the present work is the constructive-critical approach to the present mainstream theories, the careful assessment of some alternative approaches, and the overall balance between theoretical and observational considerations. As such, this book will also benefit experienced scientists and nonspecialists from related areas of research.
