Die Lücke, die der Teufel läßt

Im Umfeld des neuen Jahrhunderts

by Alexander Kluge

Von hoher analytischer Kraft sind diese etwa 500 Geschichten, die Alexander Kluge seiner Chronik der Gefühle folgen läßt. Stichworte wie Revolution, Holocaust, Weltkrieg, Tschernobyl, 11. September oder Irakkrise bezeichnen einige der unheimlichsten Komplexe einer undurchdringlich-übermächtigen Wirklichkeit. In acht Kapiteln gehen Kluges Erzählungen diesen und anderen Menetekeln des 20. Jahrhunderts nach, um dann in der großen Coda eines neunten Kapitels noch einmal alle Motive und Themen zu variieren – und zu wenden.

Neil Armstrong

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Christophe Jacques, Silke Kleemann

Neil ist zwei Jahre alt, als er mit seinem Vater eine Flugshow besucht. Von dem Spektakel ist er so begeistert, dass er anschließend nur noch einen Wunsch hat: Er will selbst fliegen. Zunächst schickt er Modellflugzeuge in die Luft, aber schon mit sechzehn erwirbt er seine Fluglizenz. Er studiert Flugzeugbau, wird Pilot bei der US-Marine und fliegt Einsätze im Koreakrieg. Als die NASA nach Testpiloten sucht, bewirbt er sich. Und schreibt als Astronaut und Kommandant der Apollo 11 Geschichte. Am 24. Juli 1969 setzt er als erster Mensch der Welt einen Fuß auf die Oberfläche des Mondes. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht.

Bilder eines Jahrzehnts

by Rainald Goetz

Neun Jahre elfter September. 11. September, Datum des Jahrzehnts. Ein Bildtagebuch der letzten neun Jahre. Im Augenblick, Frühherbst 2010. Wie sieht die Welt aus im Moment hier in Berlin. Wie war es in diesen Jahren. Was hat Rainald Goetz gesehen. Wie schaut es aus für ihn: das Gemachte, das, was da ist, das Kaputte, das Normale, der Alltag. Wie sieht er die Welt. Eben so, wie man hier sieht. Schau. Jeder Satz sagt nein, und jedes Bild sagt ja. Wohnen, Wachen, Träume. Trümmer, abstrakt, Lichtvorfall. Was wird ausgeblendet, was wird übersehen, was wird nicht gezeigt, wovon abzusehen wäre. Eine Weltsicht, eine implizite Ethik. Ein Bildtagebuch von Rainald Goetz. »Rainald Goetz ist zweifellos einer der ganz wenigen Autoren, die an einem vollkommen anderen Verständnis von Literatur festhalten, an einem Schreiben, das die Nahtstellen zwischen Erfahrung und Text ständig freilegt, das die Reflexion über das Schreiben immer schon enthält.« Andreas Bernard, Süddeutsche Zeitung Wochenende

Development as Rebellion

A Biography of Julius Nyerere

by Issa G. Shivji, Saida Yahya-Othman, Ng’wanza Kamata

This is the first comprehensive biography of Julius Nyerere, a national liberation leader, the first president of Tanzania and an outstanding statesman of Africa and the global south. Written by three prominent Tanzanians, the work spans over 1200 pages in three volumes. It delves into Nyerere's early days among his chiefly family, and the traditions, friends and education that moulded his philosophy and political thought. All these provide the backdrop for his entrance into nationalist politics, the founding of the independence movement and his original experiment with socialism. The work took six years to research and write, involving extensive and wide-ranging interviews with persons from all walks of life in Tanzania and abroad. Among these were several leaders in East and Southern Africa who were based in Dar es salaam during their liberation struggles. The authors also visited several British universities and archives with material related to Nyerere and Tanzania, thus enriching the work with primary sources that not available in Tanzania. The book does not shy away from a critical assessment of Nyerere’s life and times. It reveals the philosopher ruler’s dilemmas and tensions between freedom and necessity, determinism and voluntarism and, above all, between territorial nationalism and continental Pan-Africanism.

Re-evaluating Irish national security policy

Affordable threats?

by Michael Mulqueen

On the afternoon of September 11 2001 the Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach), Bertie Ahern ordered the 'heads of the security services of key government departments' to undertake a complete re-evaluation of measures to protect the state from attack. Hence, underway within hours of the 9/11 outrage in the United States was potentially the most far-reaching review of Irish national security in decades. This book, the first major academic investigation of Irish national security policy as it has operated since 9/11, provides a theoretically informed analysis of that re-evaluation and the decisions which have been taken as a consequence of it up until September 2008. In so doing it draws on unprecedented access to Ireland's police, security and intelligence agencies; over twenty senior personnel agreed to be interviewed. Theoretically the author demonstrates the utility to the analysis of national security policy of three conceptual models of historical institutionalism, governmental politics and threat evaluation. The text is of interest to scholars of Security Studies, International Relations and Politics, as well as state and NGO personnel, journalists and general readers. ;
