"Zeitansagen"
„Zeitansagen“ hat Markus Meckel im Laufe seines Wirkens unzählige gemacht. Er war Pfarrerssohn, unbequemer Schüler und Wehrdienstverweigerer in der DDR, Pfarrer, Gründer der oppositionellen sozialdemokratischen Partei in der DDR, Außenminister der ersten frei gewählten DDR-Regierung, langjähriger Bundestagsabgeordneter und Außenpolitiker im vereinten Deutschland sowie schließlich Präsident des Volksbundes Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e.V. Sehr offen spricht Markus Meckel in seinen Texten und Reden aus zwei Jahrzehnten über seinen ungewöhnlichen Lebensweg in der DDR und über die Zeit von Friedlicher Revolution und Deutscher Einheit. Er stellt unbequeme Fragen an unseren Umgang mit der wechselvollen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts und plädiert mit Leidenschaft für eine durch und durch europäische Sichtweise auf Geschichte und Außenpolitik.
Zu wandeln die Zeiten
Ein Akteur der deutschen Einheit erinnert sich Markus Meckel ist bekannt als langjähriger SPD-Bundestagsabgeordneter und ein Außenpolitiker, der sich bis heute aktiv um eine europäisch orientierte Erinnerungskultur und die Aufarbeitung der Diktaturen des 20. Jahrhunderts bemüht. In besonderer Weise ist sein Name jedoch in der Öffentlichkeit mit der Oppositionsbewegung in der DDR verbunden, mit der Friedlichen Revolution von 1989 und dem Prozess der Deutschen Einheit. Mit Martin Gutzeit initiierte er die Gründung der Sozialdemokratischen Partei in der DDR und saß als ihr Vertreter am Runden Tisch. Nach der freien Wahl in der DDR führte er zeitweise die Ost-SPD und verhandelte als Außenminister die deutsche Einheit. In seinen Erinnerungen beschreibt er seinen besonderen Weg in der DDR, der ihn, den Pfarrerssohn, zum Politiker werden ließ. Markus Meckel – Akteur und Beobachter des großen Zeitenwandels – legt mit seinen "Erinnerungen" ein unersetzliches Stück Zeitgeschichtsbertrachtung vor.
Exiting the Cold War, Entering a New World
This book explores how and why the dangerous yet seemingly durable and stable world order forged during the Cold War collapsed in 1989, and how a new order was improvised out of its ruins. It is an unusual blend of memoir and scholarship that takes us back to the years when the East-West conflict came to a sudden end and a new world was born. In this book, senior officials and opinion leaders from the United States, Russia, Western and Eastern Europe who were directly involved in the decisions of that time describe their considerations, concerns, and pressures. They are joined by scholars who have been able to draw on newly declassified archival sources to revisit this challenging period.
Cyberpragmatics
Cyberpragmatics is an analysis of Internet-mediated communication from the perspective of cognitive pragmatics. It addresses a whole range of interactions that can be found on the Net: the web page, chat rooms, instant messaging, social networking sites, 3D virtual worlds, blogs, videoconference, e-mail, Twitter, etc. Of special interest is the role of intentions and the quality of interpretations when these Internet-mediated interactions take place, which is often affected by the textual properties of the medium. The book also analyses the pragmatic implications of transferring offline discourses (e.g. printed paper, advertisements) to the screen-framed space of the Net. And although the main framework is cognitive pragmatics, the book also draws from other theories and models in order to build up a better picture of what really happens when people communicate on the Net. This book will interest analysts doing research on computer-mediated communication, university students and researchers undergoing post-graduate courses or writing a PhD thesis.

Linguistic and Rhetorical Perspectives on Congressional Hearings
Congressional hearings are often the most requested government documents in US libraries. However, among the genres that have been traditionally of interest to political discourse analysts – e.g. political speeches, political interviews, policy documents – hearings have not been of much scrutiny on the part of discourse scholars, an attitude somehow contrasting with the lay public’s interest. Cinzia Giglioni takes the opportunity to gain a unique view into the actors, the interested parties, the issues, from a linguistic and rhetorical perspective. Her intent is to provide an in-depth analysis of witnesses’ opening statements, which are probably the most salient parts in a congressional hearing. The investigation begins with, but is not constricted by, theoretical aspects, which are integrated with empirical observations and suggestions for critical reading.

The Annenbergs
"This is the colorful and dramatic biography of two of America's most controversial entrepreneurs: Moses Louis Annenberg, 'the racing wire king, ' who built his fortune in racketeering, invested it in publishing, and lost much of it in the biggest tax evasion case in United States history; and his son, Walter, launcher of TV Guide and Seventeen magazines and former ambassador to Great Britain."--Jacket.
