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.
Visions of Yesterday
Film is an important source of social history, as well as having been a popular art form from the early twentieth century. This study shows how a society, consciously or unconsciously, is mirrored in its cinema.

Keep Watching the Skies!
Bill Warren's Keep Watching the Skies! was originally published in two volumes, in 1982 and 1986. It was then greatly expanded in what we called the 21st Century Edition, with new entries on several films and revisions and expansions of the commentary on every film. In addition to a detailed plot synopsis, full cast and credit listings, and an overview of the critical reception of each film, Warren delivers richly informative assessments of the films and a wealth of insights and anecdotes about their making. The book contains 273 photographs (many rare, 35 in color), has seven useful appendices, and concludes with an enormous index. This book is also available in hardcover format (ISBN 978-0-7864-4230-0).

Liebe auf den zweiten Blick
Selbst der Dichter Johann Peter Hebel hatte viele Jahre Schwierigkeiten mit Karlsruhe. Wie ihm geht es vielen "Zugereisten", die eigentlich nie nach Karlsruhe gehen wollten, aber sich dann nach einigen Jahren mit der Stadt befreundeten und irgendwann den Entschluss fassten, immer in Karlsruhe zu bleiben. In ihrem neuen Buch lässt Doris Lott einige dieser "Persönlichkeiten" zu Wort kommen. Die Bücher der bekannten Autorin gehören zu den Karlsruher "Bestsellern", weil es ihr immer wieder gelingt, die Menschen und die Stadt mit den Augen der Liebe zu betrachten. "Ich bin zutiefst berührt. Die Geschichten von Doris Lott, einer waschechten Karlsruherin, die Begegnungen mit 22 Nichtkarlsruher...
