April 2004Die europäische Stadt
by Walter Siebel
In den kurzen goldenen Jahren nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg schien die europäische Stadt der Modellfall eines sozial ausgeglichenen, kulturell integrierten und prosperierenden Gemeinwesens. Heute wird ihr Ende vorhergesagt. Ihre Gestalt verliert sich in einem gesichtslosen Siedlungsbrei. Der öffentliche Raum wird privatisiert. Leerstehende Wohnungen und Industriebrachen reißen Lücken in das städtische Gefüge. Es entstehen abgeschottete Quartiere der Armen und der Einwanderer. Die Globalisierung, die Macht der Immobilienentwickler und die Finanzmisere stellen die europäische Stadt als eine Bastion des Wohlfahrtsstaats in Frage. Aber es gibt auch soziale, kulturelle, ökonomische und politische Gegentendenzen. Sie werden in diesem Band diskutiert, der sich an Stadtplaner, Stadtpolitiker und alle stadtpolitisch Interessierten ebenso richtet wie an Architekten und Sozialwissenschaftler. Beiträger sind u. a. Dieter Läpple, Peter Marcuse, Enzo Mingione, Claus Offe, Saskia Sassen, Thomas Sieverts und Erika Spiegel.

Reden über unser Land
by Norbert Lammert
Zwölf Jahre war Norbert Lammert zweiter Mann im Staat, Bundestagspräsident und bester Redner im Hohen Haus. Seine Worte verschafften ihm Respekt über alle politischen Lager hinweg und verliehen ihm höchstes Ansehen, nicht nur in Deutschland. Dieser Band versammelt seine bedeutendsten Reden und ist Weckruf und Appell in schwierigen Zeiten. Seit 1980 gehörte Norbert Lammert dem Deutschen Bundestag an. Die großen parlamentarischen Auseinandersetzungen der jüngeren Geschichte prägten ihn – Nato-Doppelbeschluss, Beitritt der DDR zum Geltungsbereich des Grundgesetzes, Irak-Konflikt –, sie überzeugten ihn von der Lebensnotwendigkeit der Debatte. Eine Überzeugung, die er in seinen Jahren als Bundestagspräsident wie kein zweiter verkörperte. Als Vorsitzender empfing er Gäste, Papst Benedikt XVI, Schimon Peres, Navid Kermani, Wolf Biermann. Und als Redner mahnte er unmissverständlich an, sich auseinanderzusetzen. Mit der Demokratie, mit deutscher Erinnerung, Europa und der Migration.

Spanische Lyrik der Gegenwart
by Javier Gómez-Montero, Petra Strien-Bourmer, Manfred Bös, Thomas Brovot, Ludger Damm, Julia Gramberg, Alexandra Ihmig, Martin Koppenfels, Susanne Lange, Franck Meyer, Theres Moser, Gerhard Poppenberg, Petra Strien-Bourmer, Javier Gómez-Montero
Erst in den sechziger Jahren erholte sich die Lyrik in Spanien vom Schock des Bürgerkriegs und vom Druck der alles erstickenden Franco-Diktatur. Langsam, aber unüberhörbar erhoben sich die Stimmen junger Autoren, deren Gedichte mit kraftvollen Sprachbildern ästhetische Paradigmen und ethische Grundmuster für die Lyrik unserer Gegenwart entwerfen. Heute sind diese Stimmen unverwechselbar geworden; jede einzelne kann den Status eines Klassikers der Moderne beanspruchen. Ob mit leicht zugänglicher Alltags- und Gedankenlyrik oder mit hermetischen, auf den ersten Blick schwer erschließbaren Texten: Diese Lyriker erdichten den Standort für den Menschen aufs neue – in immer wieder überraschenden Wendungen.Die Anthologie versammelt ein Dutzend dieser poetischen Stimmen, herausragende Beispiele der spanischen Gegenwartslyrik, die selbstbewußt das Erbe der international bekannten Großen der ersten spanischen Moderne – Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Luis Cernuda, Pedro Salinas – antreten: José Ángel Valente, Jaime Gil de Biedma, Leopoldo M. Panero, José Agustín Goytisolo, Carlos Barral, José Hierro, Pere Gimferrer, Ángel González, Juan-Eduardo Cirlot, Antonio Gamoneda, Ángel Crespo, Clara Janés.

The Power of Knowledge
The Israeli Science Corps
by Uriel Bachrach
Uriel Bachrach was born in Germany in 1926 and immigrated to Palestine in 1933. In 1945 he began studying chemistry at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. At the end of 1947, future Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion realized that once British forces left Palestine in May 1948, seven Arab countries would attack the newly formed Jewish state that at that time was home to only 600,000 people—including women, children, and the elderly, many of them Holocaust survivors. The State had only 10,000 rifles and 3,800 pistols, no anti-tank weapons, and no artillery. Weapons could not be purchased from other countries due to an embargo, so Ben-Gurion decided to produce weapons locally. On February 2, 1948, Bachrach was summoned to a secret meeting where he and twenty chemistry and physics students were told to save the nation. For three weeks they studied the secrets of explosives, incendiaries, gas, and smoke. Gradually more young scientists joined the group and on March 17, 1948, an IDF Science Corps named HEMED was formed. In 1949, Bachrach returned to The Hebrew University and became the chairman of the Department of Molecular Biology. He has been a visiting professor at various American and European universities and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Bologna in Italy. The Hebrew version of this book was published in 2009 and the author received a special prize for the State of Israel from President Shimon Peres. Uriel Bachrach continues to lecture in various forums about this unique chapter in Israel's history. An English-language eBook edition was published in early 2016 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 256 pages, 15X22.5 cm
