Emblems and Impact Volume II
The art of the emblem is a pan-European phenomenon which developed in Western and Central Europe in the early modern period. It adopted meanings and motifs from Antiquity and the Middle Ages as part of a general humanistic impulse. Technological developments in printing that permitted the combination of letterpress with woodblock, and later copperplate, images, ensured that the emblem spread rapidly by way of printed collections. With time, emblematic ideas moved beyond Europe, conveying their insights and wisdom in the compact form of the book. These same books came to influence artists and designers working in the decoration of buildings, furniture, and household items, so that emblems ent...

Framing History in East-Central Europe and Beyond
During the 1970s todays Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung, BMBWF) supported the founding of the Center for Austrian Studies at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and the Austrian Chair at Stanford University in California.

The funding of the Ministry enables to connect senior scholars with young scholars, to help young PhD students, to participate in and to benefit from the scientific connec...
The Sinews of Habsburg Power
The Sinews of Habsburg Power explores the domestic foundations of the immense growth of central European Habsburg power from the rise of a permanent standing army after the Thirty Years' War to the end of the Napoleonic wars. With a force that grew irregularly in size from around 25,000 soldiers to as many as half a million in the War of the Sixth Coalition, the Habsburg monarchy participated in shifting international constellations of rivalry from western Europe to the Near East and in some two dozen, partly overlapping armed conflicts. Raising forces of such magnitude constituted a central task of Habsburg government, one that ultimately required the cooperation of society and its elites. ...
Philosophical Tools for Technological Culture
"Hickman['s] . . . style of pragmatism provides us with flexible, philosophical 'tools' which can be used to analyze and penetrate various technology and technological cultural problems of the present. He, himself, uses this toolkit to make his analyses and succeeds very well indeed." —Don Ihde A practical and comprehensive appraisal of the value of philosophy in today's technological culture. Philosophical Tools for Technological Culture contends that technology—a defining mark of contemporary culture—should be a legitimate concern of philosophers. Larry A. Hickman contests the perception that philosophy is little more than a narrow academic discipline and that philosophical discourse...

Die Republikaner
Die erste historische Studie über eine der bedeutendsten rechtsextremen Parteien in Deutschland. Ausgezeichnet mit dem renommierten Hans-Rosenberg-Gedächtnispreis. Die Geschichte rechter Parteien in Deutschland nach 1945 fristete lange Zeit ein Nischendasein unter Historikern. Erst mit dem Aufstieg der AfD wuchs das Interesse an ihren Vorläufern. Moritz Fischer nimmt eine mittlerweile fast vergessene Partei in den Blick: die Republikaner. Unter ihrem Vorsitzenden Franz Schönhuber verbuchten sie zwischen 1983 und 1994 mehrere Wahlerfolge und galten einige Zeit als die wichtigste rechtsextreme Partei in Deutschland. Anhand neuer Quellen, unter anderem des Nachlasses des Parteimitbegründer...
