The Problem of Being Modern, Or, The German Pursuit of Enlightenment from Leibniz to the French Revolution
In The Problem of Being Modern, Thomas P. Saine provides a lucid introduction to German thought in the eighteenth century and the struggle of Enlightenment philosophers and writers to come to grips with the profound philosophical and theological implications of new scientific developments since the seventeenth century. He concentrates on those points at which the essential modernity and the secular viewpoint of the Enlightenment conflicted with traditional thought structures rooted in the religious world view that governed attitudes and behavior far into the eighteenth century.
The Seller's Challenge
There is a common question that troubles all sellers at different points in their careers: "So, what do I do now?" It may be uttered out of fear, or confusion, but it's that moment of paralysis where they realize they're about to lose an opportunity in which they'd invested so much time to win.The Seller's Challenge identifies 10 of the most frequently cited deal-killing obstacles sellers encounter. The challenge may be selling to change-resistant buyers, deploying a sales plan for a biased and unfair RFP process, selling to committees with numerous stakeholders, competing against an entrenched supplier, or engaging Procurement agents who are obsessed with driving price discounts.If you look...

Pepper Creek Murder
Mark Steele is delighted when his daughter Janet shows up at his Boston office for a surprise visit. Janet, however, has more than a visit with her detective father on her mind: she's seeking his help. Janet and her husband Thomas own The Pepper Creek Resort in Vermont, and it seems someone is pilfering valuable items belonging to guests. "Nothing big," she assures him, "come up and visit with us, bring your fianc�e, relax by the pool, and look around a bit-that's all." Steele has no way of knowing that his daughter's innocent invitation for a restful weekend for himself and his fianc�e, will be anything but a vacation. Fun, romance, and relaxing with family will come to an abrupt end when a horse returns to the stables without its rider. The search for Maurine Tazco, the missing woman, will escalate into a murder investigation when her body is found in a secluded spot off the bridle path, and Steele will be catapulted into the pursuit of her killer. Pepper Creek Resort and its unique guests hold more surprises for Steele than he could ever imagine, and he must navigate a whole new lifestyle while pursuing a clever killer.

The Internalized Revolution
This book, originally published in 1992, traces the discourse on the French Revolution in Germany and its contributors investigate the processes and results of adopting or rejecting the values of the French Revolution in Germany and reinterprets its documents in terms of their internalization. One of the questions discussed is whether the French Revolution is part of Germany’s progressive tradition, that is, whether it has been repressed or whether it constitutes a viable counter-discourse within the political culture. The first successful revolution in Germany – the ‘Velvet Revolution’ of Autumn 1989 does not fit the definition of ‘classic revolutions, but it ended in a change of power in Germany and in that respect, this book is an anatomy of German political consciousness before 1989.
Sibling Action
The sibling stands out as a ubiquitous—yet unacknowledged—conceptual touchstone across the European long nineteenth century. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, Europeans embarked on a new way of classifying the world, devising genealogies that determined degrees of relatedness by tracing heritage through common ancestry. This methodology organized historical systems into family trees in a wide array of new disciplines, transforming into siblings the closest contemporaneous terms on trees of languages, religions, races, nations, species, or individuals. In literature, a sudden proliferation of siblings—often incestuously inclined—negotiated this confluence of knowledge and iden...
