New York, Berghahn, 2002. BRAND NEW. Virgin copy, not yet traded. 8vo. Pp. xvi, 357. With 6 tables and text figures; notes, list of works cited, index. Hardcover, green cloth lettered in silver, without dust-jacket as issued. First edition. Examines the relationship between technology and society in Nazi Germany. The role of National Socialism in the development of German society remains a central question of historical inquiry. This study presents original answers by examining the politics of inventing, a crucial but long ignored problem at the intersection of the history of technology, legal, political, and business history. The analysis of conflicts over the rights of inventors and the meaning of inventing from the 1920s to the 1950s reveals a deep chasm, reaching back to the late nineteenth century, between the forces of capital and big business on one hand and the exponents of intellectual capital - inventors, engineers, industrial scientists - on the other.

Excellent set, practically unused. - - First edition. '...Im Gegensatz zum Titel haben wir es hier nicht mit einem 'Katzenbuch' zu tun, sondern mit einem luxemburger Naturführer besonderer Art. Wenn der Titel sich durch eine eher realistisch-pessimistische Atmosphäre des Textbandes erklären lässt, so zeugt der Bildband davon, dass die Autorin doch selber nicht so recht glaubt, dass alles 'für die Katz' gewesen war. Der Textband veranschaulicht anhand von Pressenotizen (Leserbriefen, oft von der Autorin selbst) mehrere Jahrzehnte Tauziehen zwischen Natur- und Umweltschutzbegeisterten und den übrigen politischen und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen. Er erörtert verpasste (und in Zukunft noch zu verpassende) Gelegenheiten, das Spiessbürgertum und sonstiges materialistisches Denken in punkto hautnaher Umwelt etwas zu dämpfen. Für die an diesem Geschehen unfreiwillig beteiligten Militanten ein Denkstein, für andere (hoffentlich) ein Denkanstoss ... Der Bildband, in der Form eines gedruckten Fotoalbums, zeigt Natur, vor allem in der Escher Gegend und im 'Minett'. Interessant sind vergleichende Aufnahmen von Tagebaugebieten in bis zu 20-jährigem Intervall, welche den Verbuschungsprozess dokumentieren.' - Haus vun der Natur, Kockelscheuer. .

Incidentally, no eye contact is possible with certain faces, because these ones are placed high above us, looking dreamily in the distance, or observing stoical the opposite façades...' - Nelly Moia. . more information

Washington, Catholic University of America, 2001. BRAND NEW. Virgin copy, not yet traded. Royal 8vo. Pp. xviii, 410. With portrait frontispiece, 11 halftone illustrations (some full-page); notes, bibliography, index. With errata slip laid in. Hardcover, green cloth, lettered in gilt, without dust-jacket as issued. First edition. The story of Joseph Görres's life is in many ways the story of German political culture in the revolutionary epoch. His dates, 1776-1848, frame the 'Age of Revolution' and, like the age in which he lived, Görres's life was marked by great upheavals. One of the most prominent German journalists of his age, Görres pioneered political journalism, or what was called Publizistik in Germany. He was a founder of political Catholicism, and was in no small part responsible for the fact that Germany eventually developed a party based on the Catholic confession. Görres was also an extraordinarily prolific scholar with an almost dizzying range of interests. His life provides a window into an incredibly prolific era in European history, into the political implications of the Enlightenment, the wide-reaching intellectual movement of German romanticism, the roots of German nationalism, and the origins of German political party formation. 'Vanden Heuvel's study fills an important gap in the historical literature on the development of modern Germany's political culture. This is a study of one of the revolutionary epoch's most fascinating characters, Joseph Görres, but beyond that it is a portrait of a seminally important and understudied and inadequately understood period of modern history: that of Germany during the two or three generations prior to the country's unification under Bismarck.' - From the Foreword by Dr. Henry A.
