This book analyses the film industries and cinema cultures of Nazi-occupied countries (1939-1945) from the point of view of individuals: local captains of industry, cinema managers, those working for film studios and officials authorized to navigate film policy. The book considers these people from a historical perspective, taking into account their career before the occupation and, where relevant, pays attention to their post-war lives. The perspectives of these historical agents” contributes to an understanding of how top-down orders and haphazard signals from the occupying administration were moulded, adjusted and distorted in the process of their translation and implementation. This edited collection offers a more dynamic and less deterministic approach to research on the international expansion of Third-Reich cinema in World War Two; an approach that strives to balance the role of individual agency with the structural determinants. The case studies presented in this book cover the territories of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and the Soviet Union.

Publikace je určena zejména pro studenty medicíny a byla vytvořena kolektivem předních odborníků 1. LF UK v Praze. Kniha podobného charakteru není tohoto času k dispozici. Existující monografie na toto téma jsou příliš rozsáhlé ľ tato publikace je samozřejmě nemůže nahradit, ale umožňuje zorientovat se v oboru, což je někdy při množství dostupných informací značně problematické. V publikaci jsou uvedené informace naprosto základní a nezbytné pro pochopení, ale i zvládnutí učebních osnov. Najdete zde i unikátní spojení témat ryze teoretických (patobiochemie volných radikálů, apoptóza, enzymopatie) s tématy klinicko-biochemickými a klinickými (zánět, nádorové markery, likvor, metabolické vady a patobiochemie civilizačních onemocnění). Kniha reaguje na potřeby studentů, kteří na chybění podobné publikace v tomto oboru opakovaně upozorňovali.
