Letzte Tage am Savignyplatz
Wer tötete George Grosz? Am Morgen des 6. Juli 1959 fand man den Maler George Grosz tot in einem Treppenhaus am Savignyplatz. George Grosz war erst wenige Wochen zuvor aus seinem amerikanischen Exil nach Berlin zurückgekehrt. Die Polizei ging von einem Unfall aus. Doch was war in dieser Nacht wirklich geschehen? Die Geschichte führt uns in das geteilte Berlin vor dem Bau der Mauer. Mit George Grosz folgen wir der Spur von zwei seiner verschollenen Meisterwerke. Wir begegnen Menschen, für die Grenzkontrollen und unterschiedliche Währungen mit täglich schwankenden Wechselkursen zum Alltag gehören. Wir treffen den zurückgekehrten Exilanten Wieland Herzfelde, der an den Sieg des Sozialismus glaubt und den Schönen Eddy, der an gute Geschäfte glaubt. Wir machen Bekanntschaft mit den Jugendlichen Inge, Albert und Dieter, die Berlin nur als geteilte Stadt mit ständigen Krisen kennen und für die Bill Haley und der Rock`n Roll wichtiger sind als Walter Ulbricht, Willy Brandt und der Kalte Krieg.
A Dictionary of German-Jewish Surnames
This dictionary identifies more than 13,000 German-Jewish surnames from the area that was pre-World War I Germany. From Baden-Wuerttemburg in the south to Schleswig-Holstein in the north. From Westfalen in the west to East Prussia in the east. In addition to providing the etymology and variants of each name, it identifies where in the region the name appeared, identifying the town and time period. More than 300 sources were used to compile the book. A chapter provides the Jewish population in many towns in the 19th century.
Beyond the Box
Breaking the Mold of Convention Presenting installations, sculptures, objects, and paintings from Mexico, Cuba, West Africa, Israel, Bulgaria, Russia, South Korea, and Japan, rounded out by extraordinary works from the U.S. and Europe, this selection from the Dohmen Collection features artists from countries that did not typically register on "Western" art radars until fifteen years ago. It was the seminal documenta 11 (2002), curated by a team led by Okwui Enwezor, that ushered in a departure from the contemporary art world's entrenched geopolitical ideas. This book showcases a treasure that has long been ahead of its time yet did not attract public attention: the private collection of Werner Dohmen, a physician in Aachen. It includes works by Mariana Castillo Deball, Wim Delvoye, Jimmie Durham, Diango Hernández, Rodney McMillian, Pavel Pepperstein, Nora Turato, Haegue Yang, and other artists who continue to provoke audiences, ask probing questions, and prompt fresh thinking.

Knowledge Graphs
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to knowledge graphs, which have recently garnered notable attention from both industry and academia. Knowledge graphs are founded on the principle of applying a graph-based abstraction to data, and are now broadly deployed in scenarios that require integrating and extracting value from multiple, diverse sources of data at large scale. The book defines knowledge graphs and provides a high-level overview of how they are used. It presents and contrasts popular graph models that are commonly used to represent data as graphs, and the languages by which they can be queried before describing how the resulting data graph can be enhanced ...
Nanoparticles in the Lung
Nanoparticles have a physical dimension comparable to the size of molecular structures on the cell surface. Therefore, nanoparticles, compared to larger (e.g., micrometer) particles, are considered to behave differently when they interact with cells. Nanoparticles in the Lung: Environmental Exposure and Drug Delivery provides a better understanding
Pandemic Exposures
An illuminating, indispensable analysis of a watershed moment and its possible aftermath. For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this naive alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences to reflect on the myriad ways SARS-CoV-2 has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.
