So Much Stuff
"To be human means to need things. Even more human is to need more and more of them. In this engaging, charming book, archaeologist, curator, and writer Chip Colwell takes us around the world, covering topics as wide-ranging as the dawn of tool making, the earliest cave paintings, the complexities of clothing, the Industrial Revolution, the torrent of gizmos invented to bring us closer and supposedly make our lives easier, and, finally, the mountains of unwanted stuff in dumps. Along the way, he raises questions such as: Why is a treasured keepsake sacred to one person but meaningless to another? What do we go through when we clean out the belongings of the dearly departed? And what is the point of storing things in museums? The book is organized around three historical phases: (1) the invention of tools; (2) the dawn of the belief that things mean something beyond their immediate use (around 50,000 years ago); and (3) the Industrial Revolution and the age of mass consumption. Colwell takes us on a tour across millions of years to explain how humans have arrived at this moment-a world that both requires things and is suffering because of them"--
NATO in the Post-Cold War Era
This book analyses the evolution of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its policies from the Cold War until today. NATO’s future cannot be fully understood without analysing its past: the origins of its structure and goals, and their transformation over time. By exploring NATO’s geopolitical and military role at crucial points throughout history, this edited volume considers the challenges and threats which have faced the alliance, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. It covers highly-debated and unresolved issues such as budgetary burden-sharing and the military transatlantic gap, the enlargement process, and the role of Asia in influencing NATO’s policies. Combining a historical approach with international perspectives, this book is an interdisciplinary read that will appeal to scholars of diplomatic history and international relations.

Die Bergier-Kommission oder das Gespenst einer Staatsgeschichte
In der Geschichtsforschung gilt, dass das Geschichtsverständnis nicht Angelegenheit des Staats, sondern allein Sache der Gesellschaft ist. Verletzt infolgedessen der Staat dieses Prinzip, wenn er historische Fragen durch Expertenkommissionen klären lässt und diese mit besonderen Privilegien ausstattet? Die aus liberaler Sicht berechtigte Warnung vor staatlichen Engagements in historischen Abklärungen ist bisher vor allem aus grundsätzlichen Rechts-überlegungen abgehandelt worden. Dieses Buch behandelt die Problematik am konkreten Fall der Bergier-Kommission (eigentlich: Unabhängige Expertenkommission «Schweiz-Zweiter Weltkrieg» UEK) im Licht ihres realen politischen Kontexts ab. Die Abklärungen von Georg Kreis führen zu folgenden Befunden: Die Schaffung der UEK geschah nicht in der Absicht, eine bestimmte «Staatswahrheit» zu etablieren, und sie hatte auch nicht eine solche Wirkung. Die Arbeiten der vom Staat eingesetzten Kommission genossen wohl vorübergehend eine grössere Aufmerksamkeit, sie etablierten aber kein neues Geschichtsbild, sondern beförderten lediglich den ohnehin laufenden Wandel im Gefüge konkurrierender Geschichtsbilder.
