Die Staatsbürgerschaft war im 20. Jahrhundert das Signum politischer Zugehörigkeit in Europa. Sie entschied über Schutz und Freiheit eines Menschen und damit über seine Lebens- wie Überlebenschancen. Erzählt wird hier erstmals eine gemeinsame Geschichte der Staatsbürgerschaft in West- und Osteuropa von der Hochphase des Nationalstaats bis in unsere Gegenwart, die von den Krisen der europäischen Union geprägt ist. Es ist die Geschichte einer zentralen rechtlichen Institution, die Kämpfe um Migration, Integration und Zugehörigkeit maßgeblich repräsentiert und zugleich bestimmt. Welche Lehren aus ihr mit Blick auf die Zukunftschancen einer europäischen Staatsbürgerschaft zu ziehen sind, ist eines der Themen dieses Buches.
With the phenomenal development of electromagnetic wave communication devices and stealth technology, electromagnetic wave absorbing materials have been attracting attention as antielectromagnetic interference slabs, stealth materials, self-concealing technology, and microwave darkrooms. This book starts with the fundamental theory of electromagnetic wave absorption in loss medium space, followed by a discussion of different microwave absorbents, such as manganese dioxide, iron-based composite powder, conductive polyaniline, barium titanate powder, and manganese nitride. Then, structural absorbing materials are explored, including multilayer materials, new discrete absorbers, microwave absor...

In his short life, Bollinger created an oeuvre that is complex, radical and intense, and well worth rediscovering. At the same time, the show aims to contribute to the current reappraisal of hitherto neglected art positions. At the height of the space race, he was creating sculptures that explore the gravity, balance and specific properties of a wide variety of materials. The cosmos and water are key elements in the work of Bollinger, who was fascinated by curved space, the vertical and the horizontal, resulting in evanescent, purist, energy-laden works with a radical edge that still have the power to astound us, even today.
It is the time of the Rebecca Riots when economic turmoil and unjust taxes have left the communities of south Wales in dire poverty with many on the brink of starvation. A time when young men ride through the night smashing and burning the symbols of their oppression. The Mortymer family have left their home in the iron-making country of Blaenafon to seek work in the coal mines of the south. Young Jethro Mortymer decides that he must join the rioters in their bitter struggle even as he is tortured by his own struggle to conceal the love he has for the beautiful Mari, his brother's wife. THE HOSTS OF REBECCA is a brilliant continuation of Alexander Cordell's classic story of mid-nineteenth century Wales which began with THE RAPE OF THE FAIR COUNTRY.
