Cosimo dei Medici stabilized ducal finances, secured his borders, doubled his territory, attracted scholars and artists to his court, academy, and universities, and dissipated fractious Florentine politics. These triumphs were far from a foregone conclusion, as Gregory Murry shows in this study of how Cosimo crafted his image as a sacral monarch.
Oral History: An Interdisciplinary Anthology is a collection of classic articles by some of the best known proponents of oral history, demonstrating the basics of oral history, while also acting as a guidebook for how to use it in research. Added to this new edition is insight into how oral history is practiced on an international scale, making this book an indispensable resource for scholars of history and social sciences, as well as those interested in oral history on the avocational level. This volume is a reprint of the 1984 edition, with the added bonus of a new introduction by David Dunaway and a new section on how oral history is practiced on an international scale. Selections from the original volume trace the origins of oral history in the United States, provide insights on methodology and interpretation, and review the various approaches to oral history used by folklorists, historians, anthropologists, and librarians, among others. Family and ethnic historians will find chapters addressing the applications of oral history in those fields.

"Die Hurenbewegung" bietet zuerst einen kompakten Überblick über den Umgang mit Prostitution und Sexarbeiter im 20. Jahrhundert, speziell zur Geschichte der Hureninitiativen in Österreich und Deutschland. Ein derartiger Überblick wird hier erstmals publiziert.

Anhand von Interdependenzen zwischen der linksfeministischen Hausarbeitsbewegung und der politischen Hurenbewegung beleuchtet die Autorin die Wirkungsmacht von ökonomischen Systemen, selbst auf intime Bereiche der Gesellschaften.
