    Abstract: Großfürst Konstantin Nikolaevic (1827-1892) war einer der bemerkenswertesten russischen Staatsmänner des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der zweitgeborene Sohn von Kaiser Nikolaj I. begründete als General-Admiral der russischen Flotte im Marineministerium eine Kultur des Wandels in der St. Petersburger Politik, die dazu führte, dass sein Bruder, Kaiser Aleksandr II., Mitte der 1850er Jahre ein groß angelegtes Reformprogramm initiierte. Konstantin wurde bald unverzichtbar für die Politik im Reich seines Bruders: Er setzte die epochale Befreiung der Bauern aus der Leibeigenschaft durch und öffnete damit den Weg für weitere Modernisierungen der Autokratie. Als er kaiserlicher Statthalter im russisch beherrschten Polen wurde, verfolgte er die große Vision einer Versöhnung von Polen mit Russland auf der Grundlage von Respekt und Gesetzlichkeit, eine Vision, die jedoch im Aufstandskrieg von 1863 unterging.Matthias Stadelmanns Studie zur russischen Reformära verknüpft die Analyse entscheidender Wirkungsstationen des Großfürsten mit einer Kulturgeschichte des Politischen. Erst über die biographisch orientierte Betrachtung Konstantin Nikolaevics erschließen sich grundlegende Strukturen der Petersburger Politik: Reformdiskurse, Kommunikationsmechanismen, Handlungsstrategien und Entscheidungsfaktoren. Darüber hinaus gibt die Studie Einblick in die vielschichtige Persönlichkeit des Kaiserbruders, der - aufgeklärt und despotisch, kultiviert und schroff - seine Zeitgenossen stets polarisierte, gerade mit dieser Polarisierung aber Potential für Russlands historischen Wandel schuf. Vom eindrücklichen Beispiel des Großfürsten ausgehend stellt Stadelmann den persönlichen Faktor als entscheidendes Moment politischer Gestaltung im Russischen Kaiserreich heraus. ReiheForschungen zur osteuropäischen Geschichte - Band 79.

    Abstract: Die Region zwischen den Flüssen Tigris, Großer Zab und Diyala und den Randhängen des Zagros-Gebirges zeichnet sich durch eine große landschaftliche und klimatische Diversität aus. Diese prägte vom 7. bis 1. Jahrtausend v.Chr. nicht nur nachhaltig menschliches Siedlungsverhalten, sondern auch die wirtschaftlichen, politischen und kulturellen Beziehungen zu benachbarten Regionen, so dass sich das Gebiet in vielfacher Hinsicht als Grenzregion fassen lässt. Simone Mühl geht in ihrer Untersuchung zur wechselseitigen Geschichte des mittleren Osttigrisgebiets von archäologischem Material aus Notgrabungen des irakischen Antikendienstes in der Umgebung von Assur, der ersten Hauptstadt des assyrischen Reiches, aus. Um Aspekte kultureller Unterschiede oder Gemeinsamkeiten der Kulturgruppen nördlich und südlich des Kleinen Zab näher zu beleuchten, werden die Funde und Befunde dieser Untersuchungen in einen regionalen und überregionalen Kontext eingebettet. Zudem wird die Analyse des archäologischen Materials mit der Fernerkundung der Region anhand von Satellitenbildaufnahmen kombiniert. Dabei wird die Landschaft auf anthropogen verursachte Veränderungen untersucht und es konnten beispielsweise 1672 Tell- und Flachsiedlungen lokalisiert sowie das antike Verkehrs- und Bewässerungsnetz in erhaltenen Teilen kartiert, rekonstruiert und kontextualisiert werden. Mühls Studie liefert nicht nur wichtige Einblicke in das Wechselspiel von Innovation und Kulturtransfer, sondern auch in die Abgrenzung von Kulturgruppen im mittleren Osttigrisgebiet und bildet so die Grundlage für ein neues Verständnis ökonomischer und soziokultureller Entwicklungen, die der Region am Tigris ihr noch heute sichtbares Gepräge gegeben haben. ReiheAbhandlungen der Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft - Band 28.

    Abstract: Die tradierten Rollen von Arbeitnehmenden und Arbeitgebenden verlieren zunehmend an Kontur. Jeder Einzelne ist seines Glückes Schmied und spielt, so scheint es, virtuos auf der Klaviatur des Selbstmanagements. Zwischen der eigenverantworteten Freiheit, dem enormen Maß an Leistungsverdichtung und biografischen Unsicherheiten entstehen neue Arbeitsformen - aber auch neue Phänomene der Belastung. Wie gehen die Menschen damit um und bleiben gesund und leistungsfähig? Wie kann man diesem Wandel aus gesellschaftlicher Sicht begegnen? Und wie reagieren wir individuell auf diese Herausforderungen? Die Beiträge des Bandes geben Antworten.   The traditional roles of employees and employers increasingly lose clear definition. Every individual forges his own destiny and performs, it seems, with virtuosity on the keyboard of self-management. Between the autonomous freedom, an enormous degree of performance concentration and biographical uncertainties, new forms of work emerge - but also new phenomena of stress. How do people deal with this while staying healthy and fit? How can one handle this change from a societal point of view? And how we react to these challenges as individuals? The contributions to this volume provide answers.   Rezension »Sowohl für den Einsteiger ins Thema Wandel der Erwerbsarbeit - Wandel der Lebensbedingungen, als auch denjenigen, der tiefer mit der Materie vertraut ist, bietet diese Tagungsdokumentation wertvolle Impulse zum weiterlesen, -recherchieren und -forschen. Der Versuch einen Bogen von den allgemeinen Grundlagen hin zu speziellen - vom Wandel der Erwerbstätigkeit geprägten - Gesellschaftsfeldern zu spannen, ist gelungen.« Maria Wolf, www.socialnet.de, 04.06.2013.

    Keywords: Soziologische Theorie
    Abstract: Die Vielfalt soziologischer Zugriffe auf die moderne Gesellschaft lässt sich in die drei Stränge der ungleichheits-, der differenzierungs- und der kulturtheoretischen Denktradition bündeln. Alle drei Stränge setzen sich aus einer Pluralität von Perspektiven zusammen, und es gibt vielfältige Verbindungen zwischen ihnen - bis hin zu Versuchen, zwei oder sogar drei Stränge in theoretischen Synthesen zusammenzuführen. Dieses Bild, das die soziologische Gesellschaftstheorie seit den Klassikern bis heute bietet, wird in der Einführung systematisch dargestellt und kommentiert. Ein besonderer Akzent wird dabei darauf gelegt, wie die verschiedenen Perspektiven zum Verständnis heutiger gesellschaftlicher Problemlagen beitragen und welche zeitdiagnostischen Horizonte sie eröffnen.   Rezension »Dem Buch gelingt ein schwieriger Spagat: Es ist Überblick und Debatte zugleich. Auf knapp 200 Seiten bündelt es aktuelle Diskussionen soziologischer Gesellschaftstheorien und gibt zudem Denkanstöße für eine Weiterentwicklung der Gesellschaftsforschung.« Yvonne Niekrenz, www.socialnet.de, 27.01.2014 »Schimank belässt es nicht bei einer deskriptiven Darstellung der einzelnen z.T. widerstreitenden Theorien(-familien), sondern macht deutlich, dass die genannten Ansätze v.a. im Austausch und im Verbund das Rüstzeug zur theoretischen Beschreibung und Analyse der modernen kapitalistischen Gesellschaften liefern können.« Mario Kowalak, ekz bibliotheksservice, 42 (2013).

    Abstract: Robert Michels legt Anfang der 30er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts in der Schweiz eine Reihe von Städteporträts vor, in denen er sich essayistisch dem Thema »Weltstädte und ihre Bewohner« widmete. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Soziologen seiner Zeit wie Simmel, Sombart und Weber war er nicht an einer Theorie zur Entstehung der Stadt interessiert, obwohl auch er über die Ursprünge der jeweiligen Stadt Auskunft gab, sondern sein phänomenologischer Blick hielt die Eigentümlichkeiten der jeweiligen Stadt fest. So gelingen ihm anschauliche Miniaturen, die ebenso amüsant wie lehrreich sind und die heute in der Zeit der »urban studies«, in denen der Begriff die »Weltstadt« durch den der »global city« ersetzt ist, als ein Beispiel der frühen Stadtsoziologie gelesen werden können.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Paris -- London -- Berlin -- Rom als Großstadt -- Wien -- Die Wissenschaften von den Weltstädten.

    Abstract: In Fabricating the Absolute Fake, Jaap Kooijman explores the ways people around the world interpret and attempt to reproduce "Americanness." Tracing the ways America has been appropriated by pop culture produced outside the United States, he examines such icons as the Elvis-inspired performer Lee Towers and the Moroccan-Dutch rapper Ali B. This revised edition features a new chapter on Barack Obama's global celebrity and an afterword on teaching American pop culture. Like the first edition, it will prove an illuminating resource for scholars of American culture and popular cultures the world over.

    Abstract: In Managing Conflicts in India, Bidisha Biswas analyzes how democratic states choose between policies of coercion and accommodation by addressing the under-studied topic of India's approach to internal conflicts. Biswas weaves an examination of three conflicts in India into a larger exploration of the challenges and choices facing democratic and multiethnic countries that are dealing with protracted insurgencies.

    Abstract: Après avoir fait le point sur les connaissances en matière de « néonaticide », « filicide » et « infanticide », cet ouvrage se propose une analyse de situations infanticides à partir de dizaines de cas, depuis la mort du nouveau-né, parfois répétée plusieurs fois, jusqu'au meurtre de masse (plusieurs enfants).  Ces mères qui ont tué leur(s) bébé(s) ou leurs enfants sont habitées par une mélancolie particulière qui est au centre de ces histoires dramatiques, mais cependant toutes singulières. Cette mélancolie n'est pas une maladie mentale et se doit d'être expliquée, car incomprise, par le clinicien lors de procès souvent fort médiatisés.L'ouvrage, issu de l'expérience clinique de l'auteur, tente de décrypter et de répondre à une interrogation essentielle qui fait aujourd'hui débat : Comment certaines femmes se retrouvent-elles face à un besoin de « néantisation » qui les fait se supprimer en tant que mères ou conserver comme témoins de leur « maternalité » les corps de leurs nourrissons décédés ?.

    Abstract: Kniha se ve 24 kapitolách zabývá vybranými problémy tvorení slov v predklasické a klasické francouzštine 16. a 17. století. V první cásti se autor venuje nekterým teoretickým otázkám (problematika periodizace, lexikalizace, jazyková norma, morfologická produktivita, teorie optimality a její využití v diachronní morfologii, aj.), ve druhé je nekolik studií zamereno na konkrétní slovotvorné typy (nominalizace na -ment, -ance,-aison, problematika kolektivních substantiv na -age, aj.) a konkrétní historie urcitých slov (adjektiv tvorená od matin-, slova odvozovaná od základu assassin- aj.). Tretí cást analyzuje francouzsko-španelský slovník Jeana Palleta a postoj jazykových „pozorovatelu" 17. století k slovotvorbe.Le volume aborde, en 24 chapitres, un choix de problèmes liés à la formation des mots en français préclassique et classique. Dans la première partie, l'auteur analyse un certain nombre de questions à portée théorique (périodisation, lexicalisation, norme linguistique, productivité morphologique, théorie de l'optimalité et son utilisation en morphologie diachronique, etc.). Les études de la deuxième partie se focalisent sur des patrons dérivationnels concrets (nominalisations en -ment, -ance, -aison, évolution des noms collectifs en -age, etc.) et sur l'histoire de quelques mots concrets (adjectifs et noms formés, respectivement, à partir des bases matin- et assassin-, etc.). La troisième partie comprend une étude consacrée aux aspects morpholexicaux du dictionnaire français-espagnol de Jean Pallet et une autre qui aborde l'attitude des remarqueurs du XVIIe siècle vis-à-vis de la formation des mots.

    Abstract: This book deals with a variety of socio-cultural, economic and political problems facing Cameroon and the rest of Africa, with particular reference to unemployment, corruption, poverty, criminality, violence, insecurity, and moral decadence. It presents a critical analysis of government policies from the colonial era to the present time; arguing that most of these policies have been stalled by an uncommitted leadership. The regime in Cameroon has drifted away from basic managerial and democratic principles in in favour of the ethnicisation of politics, sterile consumption, clientelism and patronage. The book contends that corruption has become the main instrument of governance whereby the political and economic elites control the wealth of the nation at the expense of a majority who wallow in abject poverty and misery. Faced with the difficult economic and political situation, most youth and the intelligentsia have adopted official and unofficial' means to circumvent all immigration rules to travel to affluent Western countries, the consequences notwithstanding. Brain drain is often the outcome. Further, it examines issues of social exclusion, political representation and marginalization with special focus on the predicament of Anglophone Cameroonians as a socio-cultural community. The inclusion of examples and case studies based on empirical and secondary data from Africa is intended to foreground the importance of comparison, and attract the interest of both academic and non-academic readership.

    Series Statement: Cases in Modern Chinese Business
    DDC: 306.360951
    Abstract: Many people want to do business with China, but very few foreign business people have an understanding and appreciation of how business is actually conducted in the country. This book offers insights into the history, philosophy, and practice of business in China today. The book begins by asking several key questions about business in China: Why is it a common phenomenon in China that one prefers being a leader in a small organization to being led in a big one? Why is it common in Chinese enterprises that within an organization there is generally a bureaucracy to control a network of comparatively independent sub-units? There are different forms of self-organized sub-units within an enterprise, such as affiliated subsidiaries or self-directed teams, contracted out business units, independent local branches, profit-center departments, and internal startup teams. Why do Chinese enterprises always network with each other to realize an all-win situation? These cooperative networks include regional business groups, small enterprise networks, platform-based models, network consolidators, and industry networks characterized by one town focusing on a single industry. In exploring these questions, the book examines the form and structure of Chinese social networks and indigenous management. It looks at the origins and importance of Chinese management philosophies, including "Guanxi" management - a concept and practice crucial to understanding business in China and increasingly central to management teaching in China. Guanxi is examined in great detail and from various dynamics and perspectives. The book is based upon a series of lecturers given to management students at the prestigious Tsinghua University in Beijing. Therefore, it also offers an insight into what China's business leaders of the future are learning. (Series: Cases in Modern Chinese...

    Abstract: Offers insights into the hopes and aspirations of British Muslims from remarkably diverse ethnicities. In Britain's highly politicised social climate in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings, this book provides an in-depth understanding of British Muslim identity. Nahid Kabir has carried out over 200 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with young Muslims in five British cities: London, Leicester, Bradford, Leeds and Cardiff. By emphasising the importance of biculturalism, Kabir conveys a realistic and hopeful vision for their successful integration into British society.

    Abstract: In our increasingly complicated and data-driven world, many new developments are so complex that only experts comprehend their nuances. But what they don't grasp is how to tell the world about them. Communicating technical content to nontechnical listeners has fast become a critical 21st-century skill. Explaining what you do and why it's important drives funding, policy decisions, media exposure, public awareness, and customer adoption. This groundbreaking guide will help anyone to deliver clear, persuasive messages that win hearts, minds, and budgets. Supercommunicator explains how to: ● Distill details and data into big ideas ● Deliver meaning to audiences ● Use storytelling to captivate and educate ● Humanize content to make complicated ideas more tangible ● Layer harder ideas on top of easier ideas ● Strip away complex language, jargon, and acronyms ● Use analogies to explain unfamiliar areas ● Master new digital modes of expression ● And more Enhanced with a wealth of examples--from how the National Academy of Sciences used audience research to improve the way evolution is taught, to how NASA incorporated cutting-edge tools to visualize issues in climatology--this one-of-a-kind book reveals how to make the complex comprehensible, and the dry deeply compelling.

    Abstract: Quick and easy access is the goal of the new 11th edition of The American Marketplace: Demographics and Spending Patterns. Designed for convenience, The American Marketplace draws on scores of government sources to give you a population profile of the United States in one handy volume. Its hundreds of tables are organized into 11 chapters covering attitudes, education, health, housing, income, labor force, living arrangements, population, spending, time use, and wealth. The American Marketplace reveals the latest demographic trends and tells the American story. It examines changing lifestyles in rich detail, from growing racial and ethnic diversity to declining homeownership, from disappearing nuclear families to recovery in household spending, from another baby bust to new attitudes toward gay marriage. New to this edition of The American Marketplace are 2012 population estimates for the nation, states, and metropolitan areas, revealing new patterns of growth. The Attitudes chapter has data from the 2012 General Social Survey. The Income chapter, with 2012 income statistics from the 2013 Current Population Survey, reveals the struggle to stay afloat. The American Marketplace is a reference tool that will help you cut through the clutter and track the trends.

    Keywords: Lindqvist, Sven ; Aborigines ; Rassismus ; Australien ; Reisebericht
    Abstract: Sven Lindqvist is one of our most original writers on race, colonialism, and genocide, and his signature approachuniting travelogues with powerful acts of historical excavationrenders his books devastating and unforgettable. Now, for the first time, Lindqvist's most beloved works are available in one beautiful and affordable volume with a new introduction by Adam Hochschild. The Dead Do Not Die includes the full unabridged text of "Exterminate All the Brutes", called "a book of stunning range and near genius" by David Levering Lewis. In this work, Lindqvist uses Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness as a point of departure for a haunting tour through the colonial past, retracing the steps of Europeans in Africa from the late eighteenth century onward and thus exposing the roots of genocide via his own journey through the Saharan desert. The full text of Terra Nullius is also included, for which Lindqvist traveled 7,000 miles through Australia in search of the lands the British had claimed as their own because it was inhabited by "lower races," the native Aboriginesnearly nine-tenths of whom were annihilated by whites. The shocking story of how "no man's land" became the province of the white man was called "the most original work on Australia and its treatment of Aboriginals I have ever read . . . marvelous" by Phillip Knightley, author of Australia.

    Abstract: This edited volume explores transnational gestational surrogacy and how its practice is changing the traditional concept of parenthood across the globe. The phenomenon has given rise to a thriving international industry where money is being 'legally' exchanged for babies and 'reproductive labor' has taken on a lucrative commercial tone. This interdisciplinary collection of essays addresses significant issues in commercial gestational surrogacy as it plays out in a peculiar relation between the United States and India.

    Abstract: In crisp and accessible language, TheEffects of Globalization in Latin America, Africa, and Asia challenges conventional wisdom that often provides one-sided views of globalization. The book brings to light that which many scholars ignore: the symbiotic linkages within a global supranational regime consisting of MNCs, WTO, the IMF/World Bank, western media technology, and the lone superpower that are the principal actors in the global political economy.

    Abstract: The idea of the imagination is as evocative as it is elusive. Not only does the imagination allow us to project ourselves beyond our own immediate space and time, it also allows us to envision the future, as individuals and as collectives. The radical imagination, then, is that spark of difference, desire and discontent that can be fanned into the flames of social change. Yet what precisely is the imagination and what might make it 'radical'? How can it be fostered and cultivated? How can it be studied and what are the possibilities and risks of doing so? This book seeks to answer these questions at a crucial time. As we enter into a new cycle of struggles marked by a worldwide crisis of social reproduction, scholar-activists Max Haiven and Alex Khasnabish explore the processes and possibilities for cultivating the radical imagination in dark times. A lively and crucial intervention in radical politics, social research and social change, and the collective visions and cultures that inspire them.

    Abstract: As Africa and its diaspora commemorate fifty years of post-independence Pan-Africanism, this unique and sometimes provocative collection of biographical essays provides profound insight into the thirteen prominent individuals of African descent who have won the Nobel Peace Prize since 1950. From the first American president of African descent, Barack Obama, whose father was Kenyan and whose career was inspired by the civil rights and anti-apartheid struggles promoted by other key individuals such as Marin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, and Albert Luthuli; to influential figures in peacemaking such as Ralph Bunche, Anwar Sadat, Kofi Annan, and F.W. De Klerk; as well as Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, Wangari Maathai, and Mohamed El-Baradei, who have been variously involved in women's rights, environmental protection, and nuclear disarmament, Africa's Peacemakers reveals how this remarkable collection of individuals have changed the world - for better or worse.

    Abstract: This book examines the problem of transparency in the news media in China through analysis of the political and market control jointly imposed by the party-state and the media. It argues that the gap between rhetoric and reality reveals the disjuncture of the party-state and the media from their political representation.

    Abstract: Nur wenn Kinder krabbeln, greifen und laufen, lernen sie ihre Umwelt optimal kennen - und sich selbst. Ausreichende Bewegung ist daher bereits im Babyalter wichtig: Sie sorgt für eine bessere Haltung, eine kräftige Muskulatur, gute Koordination, einen ausgebildeten Intellekt und ein gesundes Selbstbewusstsein. Die zahlreiche Anregungen und Bewegungsspiele in diesem Ratgeber sind kinderleicht im Alltag umzusetzen. Durch die Einteilung nach Entwicklungsstufen, Alter und Situationen ist es einfach, das passende Spiel zu finden - ob auf der Wickelkommode, dem Fußboden oder an der frischen Luft. Biographische InformationenUlla Nedebock hat über viele Jahre Mutter-Kind-Kurse geleitet. Sie ist überzeugt, dass eine frühe Förderung die Entwicklung des Kindes positiv beeinflusst. Zusammen mit weiteren Experten entwickelte sie für dieses Buch einalltagstaugliches Konzept für alle Eltern, die die Entwicklung ihrer Kinder positiv unterstützen möchten. Ulla Nedebock arbeitet außerdem für Kinderbuchverlage, schreibt Kinderbücher und führt Buchprojekte in Grundschulendurch. Sie ist Mutter von drei Töchtern.

    Abstract: Das Thema »soziale Innovationen« hat in den letzten 20 Jahren in westlichen Gesellschaften zwar immer größere Aufmerksamkeit erfahren, ist dabei aber sowohl begrifflich und konzeptionell als auch inhaltlich äußerst unscharf geblieben. Angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung sozialer Innovationen ist eine konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung des theoretischen Ansatzes von großer Bedeutung. Dieser Band diskutiert die Frage, was eine Innovation zur sozialen Innovation macht. Die Autoren gehen theoretischen Konzepten, empirischen Forschungsfeldern und beobachtbaren Trends nach und arbeiten die zentralen Dimensionen eines sozialwissenschaftlichen Konzepts sozialer Innovation heraus.   Rezension Besprochen in: WSI Mitteilungen, 3 (2011), Hellmuth Lange Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 2 (2014), Gorgi Krlev/Thomas Scheuerle.

    Abstract: An Bahnhöfen, vor Fußballstadien, in Stadtgärten und Fußgängerzonen, überall trifft man sie an: die Pfandsammler. Es sind Männer und Frauen, alte und junge, und sie gehören spätestens seit der Einführung des Pfandes auf Einweggetränkeverpackungen im Jahre 2006 zum Bild einer jeden deutschen Großstadt. Verdienen kann man mit dem Aufklauben von Dosen und Flaschen kaum etwas; diese nur vordergründige rein ökonomische Aktivität erlaubt es noch nicht einmal, die eigene Existenz auf minimale Weise selbstständig zu sichern. Zudem werden diese Menschen, die mit ihren Händen tief in die Abfalltonne der Innenstädte greifen, die öffentlichen Plätze vom Unrat der anderen reinigen und dann mit dem signifikanten Klappern der Flaschen in ihren Tüten weiterziehen, zumeist nur toleriert oder gar vor aller Augen erniedrigt. Ihnen haftet das Etikett des Drecksarbeiters, Penners und Schmarotzers an. Die vermeintlich einfache Frage, warum Menschen trotz all dieser widrigen Umstände tagtäglich aufs Neue durch die Straßen der Großstädte ziehen, welche Aussagen die Betrachungen dieser Sozialfigur in Bezug auf Prekarität und Marginalität, auf Armut und Einsamkeit in unserer modernen Gesellschaft zum Ausdruck bringt, erkundet die vorliegende Studie. Den heutigen Sammlern von Pfandflaschen werden historische Gefährten vergleichend zur Seite gestellt. Sie sammelten Holz, Lumpen und Ähren und fügten sich in ihre Rollen in den jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Gebilden. Sebastian J. Moser legt mit diesem Buch die bisher einzige wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Figur des Pfandsammlers vor. Die Arbeit räumt mit gängigen Klischees auf, ermöglicht einen Einblick in die Welt der Pfandsammler und führt zu überraschenden Einsichten in die Verfasstheit unserer modernen Gesellschaft.   Biographische Informationen Sebastian J.

    Abstract: Veterans are celebrated with speeches, statues, memorials, holidays, and affirmative action. They are lavishly praised in public gatherings and private conversations. Contradicting this widespread attitude, Stephen Kershnar's Gratitude toward Veterans: A Philosophical Explanation of Why American Should Not Be Very Grateful to Veterans argues that U.S. citizens should not be very grateful to veterans.

    Abstract: Author Angelo Codevilla asks, What is to be America's peace? How is it to be won and preserved in our time? He notes that our government's increasingly unlimited powers flow in part from our statesmen's inability to stay out of wars or to win them and that our statesmen and academics have ceased to think about such things. The purpose of this book is to rekindle such thoughts. The author reestablishes early American statecraft's understanding of peace-what it takes to make it and what it takes to keep it. He reminds Americans why our founding generation placed the pursuit of peace ahead of all other objectives; he shows how they tried to keep the peace by drawing sharp lines between America's business and that of others, as well as between peace and war. He shows how our 20th-century statesmen confused peace and war as well as America's affairs with that of mankind's. The result, he shows, has been endless war abroad and spiraling strife among Americans. Codevilla provides intellectual guidelines for recovering the pursuit of peace as the guiding principle by which the American people and statesmen may navigate domestic as well as international affairs.
