Jews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust, yet the world did not recognize their destruction equally. In the years and decades following the war, the Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts, scholars, educators, curators, and politicians, while the genocide of Europe's Roma went largely ignored. Rain of Ash is the untold story of how Roma turned to Jewish institutions, funding sources, and professional networks as they sought to gain recognition and compensation for their wartime suffering.

Was Rilke mit anderen "offenen Quellen" dieser Geistesströmung, wie Nietzsche, Heine, Kierkegaard und Hölderlin gemeinsam hat, ist das Vertrauen in den Menschen, ohne das der Mut zur Redlichkeit, zu einem unverstellten Glauben niemals möglich wäre.

Che cosa pensiamo del capitalismo? Le idee più diffuse sul suo conto sono ancorate ai fatti e alla storia? Oppure, al contrario, sono dei pregiudizi smentiti dall'evidenza empirica? In questo libro, Rainer Zitelmann esamina inizialmente i dieci capi d'accusa più frequentemente rivolti all'economia di mercato: dominata da un'élite di persone ricche che dettano l'agenda politica, sarebbe responsabile della fame e della povertà nel mondo, del degrado ambientale e del cambiamento climatico, delle disuguaglianze, dei monopoli, delle crisi finanziarie e delle guerre, promuoverebbe l'avidità e l'egoismo.

Armed with a hungry curiosity and a willingness to self-experiment, author Barney Shaw goes in search of the hidden meanings of smells. Using plain words to describe what he finds, he investigates the chemistry, psychology, history and future of this underappreciated sense.

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten wurde die Demokratie in einer beispiellosen Weise ausgehöhlt. Demokratie wurde durch die Illusion von Demokratie ersetzt, die freie öffentliche Debatte durch ein Meinungs- und Empörungsmanagement, das Leitideal des mündigen Bürgers durch das des politisch...

The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm's unique social psychological notion.

As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life.

In posing the question, "What was the effect of policy entrepreneurs' use of a scenario on federal efforts to clean up the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone?" I explain the momentum that leads to and sustains the theoretical phenomena of punctuated equilibrium. After establishing that the policy process in this case was measurable as a statistically significant case of punctuated equilibrium, I defined a scenario as an organized form of discourse with a plot with three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. To analyze the policy process, I plotted a narrative.

A profound work of formalized introspection, this nonfiction essay charts a consciousness fixed against a single, chaotic acoustic event: a severe rainstorm on a metal roof. Through the eyes of a self-reflective narrator who remains immobile, observing only the difference between internal rigidity and external torrent the book dissects the small, inescapable failures of precision in a disordered world. It is a meticulous study of sound, memory interference, and the deep discomfort of the untied knot, presented without metaphor, moral lesson, or emotional summary.
