Overview: The Alps are an arched mountain chain stretching 1500 km between Vienna and Graz in Austria and Genova in Italy. They resulted from the collision of the African and Laurasian plates during Mesozoic and Tertiary times. The high standard of knowledge attained over the last 30 years by the working groups on "Alpine Metamorphism" is well known and helped considerably to recognize pre-Mesozoic elements in the Alps. In Part I of this book the subdivision of the major Alpine units and pre-Mesozoic pal­ inspastic reconstructions are covered before discussion of the pre-Mesozoic geology in Pa

Overview: The oceans are so large and our knowledge of them so limited that we sometimes think of the sea floor as a vast uniform wasteland. But modern oceanographic research is revealing that each part of the sea floor has its own characteristic features and is as distinct as the geologic and topographic provinces on land. The deep ocean floor holds the same fascination for us as unexplored mountain tops, jungles, or the surface of the moon and planets. And, since the oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth‘s surface, the ocean floor holds the key to much of the history and evolution o

Overview: Die politische Soziologie und die politische Wissenschaft beschäftigen sich in zunehmen­ dem Maße mit Erscheinungen des politischen und sozialen Wandels von Herrschafts­ und Gesellschaftsstrukturen. Den Tendenzen zur Veränderung und Umstrukturierung von Teilsystemen stehen jedoch häufig Beharrungstendenzen anderer gesellschaftlicher Teilbereiche gegenüber. Sozialer Wandel schließt deshalb latente und manifeste Kon­ flikte ebenso ein wie sich in industriellen Gesellschaftsordnungen immer wieder neu bildende Differenzierungsprozesse. Der geistige, politische und soziale Wandel ist nich

Overview: Makes extensive use of a wide variety of primary sources.Engages with both fiction and non-fiction.Focuses on reader response and the construction of empathyThis study provides a comprehensive analysis of representations of Holocaust perpetrators in literature. Such texts, often rather controversially, seek to undo the myth of pure evil that surrounds the Holocaust and to reconstruct the perpetrator in more human (“banal”) terms. Following this line of thought, protagonists frequently place emphasis on the contextual or situational factors that led up to the genocide.
