Architectural guide to Hannover
The Architectural Guides from the tried and trusted Reimer Verlag series are readable, clearly set out and in a handy format. For all their brevity, the texts are informative and critical, a considerable achievement. These guides do not only line out the more or less famous ensembles, places, and buildings but also lead the way to little-known treasures, details, inner courts and gardens. The buildings are documented with informative texts, up-to-date photos, and ground plans. The layout according to tours of city districts, maps and detailed indices make orientation easy, even for strangers to the city.

Visions of Nature
"Visions of nature" are the ideas that people hold of what nature is and how we should relate to it. These visions are important for the design of democratically grounded landscape and nature policies. These contributions were presented at an expert meeting at Radboud University, June 2001
Photography in the Third Reich: Art, Physiognomy and Propaganda
This lucid and comprehensive collection of essays by an international group of scholars constitutes a photo-historical survey of select photographers who embraced National Socialism during the Third Reich.

The volume begins with three chapters about the genesis, development and scope of Romany Studies. Constructions of Romany culture and identity are at the heart of the second part. Part three focuses on nineteenth and twentieth century literary constructions of Romany identity, be it from a gadzo or Romany perspective. The final part tackles the question of how the role of the Romanies will be remembered, recorded and commemorated.
Kuratierte Erinnerungen: das Fotoalbum
Das Fotoalbum als Aufbewahrungsort einzelner Abzüge zählt seit den Anfängen zur Geschichte der Fotografie. Anfangs mit vorgestanzten Ausschnitten und gedruckter Ornamentik hochwertig gestaltet, entwickelte es sich mit dem Siegeszug der Privatfotografie im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts als Massenartikel zum festen Bestandteil eines jeden Haushalts. Fotoalben bieten kuratierte Einblicke in den privaten Alltag. Sie geben Aufschluss darüber, was als festhaltenswert und erinnerungswürdig galt. Ausschnitthaft lassen sie die Betrachterin und den Betrachter an Unternehmungen teilhaben - an Reisen, Familienfeiern, Ausflügen, Kindheiten, aber auch an die Schrecken des Krieges. Oftmals ergÃ...
