It is well-known that the topic of composite mate- rials affects many engineering fields, such as civil, mechanical, aerospace, automotive and chemical. In the last decades, in fact, a huge number of scientific papers concerning these peculiar constituents has been published. Analogously, the industrial progress has been extremely noticeable. The study of composite materials, in general, is a challenging activity since the advancements both in the academia and in the industry provide continually new sparks to develop innovative ideas and applications. The communication, the sharing and the exchange of views can surely help the works of many researchers. This aspect represents the main purpos...
Europe in the Long Twentieth Century
Thanks to their economic and military strength, the European empires had achieved global supremacy by 1900, with large parts of the world under their dominance in the wake of colonial expansion. This situation fuelled ideas of Europe's permanent, almost natural global superiority, especially among the middle classes. However, as early as the First World War, such claims came under increasing pressure. This volume explains the role played by modern nationalism and anti-imperial movements, the competition between different political orders, changes in the economy and society, and the great ideas and utopias. Their interplay gave rise to enormously destructive forces in Europe. From the Boer an...
The Revolution of 1861
It was no coincidence that the Civil War occurred during an age of violent political upheaval in Europe and the Americas. Grounding the causes and philosophies of the Civil War in an international context, Andre M. Fleche examines how questions of national self-determination, race, class, and labor the world over influenced American interpretations of the strains on the Union and the growing differences between North and South. Setting familiar events in an international context, Fleche enlarges our understanding of nationalism in the nineteenth century, with startling implications for our understanding of the Civil War. Confederates argued that European nationalist movements provided models...
Nonkonformismus
In Zeiten ausgeprägten sozioökonomischen Wandels und zunehmender Unsicherheitsempfindungen scheinen sich viele Menschen nach Geborgenheit, nach Strukturen und auch der Einbettung in das Kollektiv zu sehnen. Dabei gerät – so die These – ein Ideal zahlreicher politischer, künstlerischer und sozialer Bewegungen mehr und mehr ins Hintertreffen: der Non-Konformismus. Galt abweichendes Verhalten vormals, speziell in einigen Subkulturen und insbesondere in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren, als ein Ausdruck besonderer Individualität und als Ziel politischer Emanzipation, so scheint es inzwischen ein verstärktes Bedürfnis zu geben, wieder genauer zu wissen, wer man ist, wo man steht, wozu man ...
Auf der Suche nach der neuen Universität
Als Reformuniversitäten sollten Konstanz und Bielefeld in den 1960er Jahren neue Konzepte erproben, Reformen an den bereits bestehenden Hochschulen vorbereiten und eine Differenzierung des Hochschulsystems einleiten. Für diese Prestigeprojekte der damaligen Hochschul- und Landespolitik engagierten sich institutionelle Akteure im bundesdeutschen Wissenschaftssystem, wie der Wissenschaftsrat, die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft oder der Verband Deutscher Studentenschaften, aber auch prominente Wissenschaftler wie Ralf Dahrendorf in Konstanz und Helmut Schelsky in Bielefeld. Die Entwicklung von Universitäten neuen Typs schloss an intensive Diskussionen an, die seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieg...
History of Universities
This volume contains the customary mix of learned articles, book reviews, conference reports and bibliographical information, which makes this publication useful for the historian of higher education.

Electromagnetic Technologies for Medical Diagnostics
Electromagnetic (EM) radio-wave technologies for medical imaging represent an emerging alternative diagnostic modality with some unique features, which is attracting the attention of many researchers worldwide. Diagnostic devices based on EM technology have no side-effects, as they exploit non-ionizing radiation, and their intrinsic low cost makes them sustainable for healthcare systems. This Special Issue provides a comprehensive account of this very active research area by gathering contributions that cover a variety of topics ranging from fundamental research questions to experimental validation and clinical translation.
Writing the History of the Humanities
What are the humanities? As the cluster of disciplines historically grouped together as “humanities” has grown and diversified to include media studies and digital studies alongside philosophy, art history and musicology to name a few, the need to clearly define the field is pertinent. Herman Paul leads a stellar line-up of esteemed and early-career scholars to provide an overview of the themes, questions and methods that are central to current research on the history of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century humanities. This exciting addition to the successful Writing History series will draw from a wide range of case-studies from diverse fields, as classical philology, art history, and Biblical studies, to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the field. In doing so, this ground-breaking book challenges the rigid distinctions between disciplines and show the variety of prisms through which historians of the humanities study the past.
Allies and Rivals
The first history of the ascent of American higher education told through the lens of German-American exchange. During the nineteenth century, nearly ten thousand Americans traveled to Germany to study in universities renowned for their research and teaching. By the mid-twentieth century, American institutions led the world. How did America become the center of excellence in higher education? And what does that story reveal about who will lead in the twenty-first century? Allies and Rivals is the first history of the ascent of American higher education seen through the lens of German-American exchange. In a series of compelling portraits of such leaders as Wilhelm von Humboldt, Martha Carey ...
Die Vermittlung des Unbegreiflichen
In Deutschland und Großbritannien – wie auch in anderen Ländern – nimmt der Holocaust einen zentralen Platz in der nationalen Erinnerungskultur ein. Wie gelingt es, mit dem gemeinsamen historischen Erbe umzugehen und den nachfolgenden Generationen die nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen und deren Hintergründe näherzubringen – auch im Hinblick auf eine Sensibilisierung für gegenwärtige Menschenrechtsverletzungen? Am Beispiel des Imperial War Museum in London und des Deutschen Historischen Museums in Berlin fragt Angelika Schoder, mit welchen museumsspezifischen und didaktischen Methoden die Vermittlung der nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen erfolgt und welche Ausstellungskonzeptionen und pädagogischen Konzepte sich hinter dieser Vermittlung verbergen.
