        Israel ist umgezogen

        by Diana Pinto

        Israel ist umgezogen – weg von den feindseligen Nachbarn und dem alten, vergeblichen Traum eines säkularen Zionismus, hin zu einem Land der boomenden High-Tech-Industrie, das in der archaischen Vergangenheit seine Zukunft neu entwirft, weltläufig, ethnisch abgeschottet und geprägt von der politischen Agenda der Religiösen. Dana Pinto zeigt Israel auf dem Weg in einen autistischen Ultramodernismus, der die Probleme des jüdischen Staates zu lösen versucht, indem er sie überspringt. »Israel ist umgezogen« ist ein kritisches Buch über Israel, entstanden aus Liebe zu einem Land, das sich dringend fragen muß, wohin die Reise geht. Die Beziehungen zu den alten Partnern in Europa und den USA verlieren mehr und mehr an Gewicht, und weder die Erinnerung an die Shoah noch der traditionelle zionistische Gründungskonsens sind länger Eckpfeiler des israelischen Selbstverständnisses. Die eigene Zukunft sieht das Land eher in der boomenden Hightech-Industrie mit starker Orientierung an China und in der Wiederverwurzelung in einer archaischen Vergangenheit – dank des Internets weltläufig und entgrenzt, zugleich ethnisch abgeschottet und politisch geprägt von den Vorstellungen der Nationalreligiösen und Ultraorthodoxen. In Form eines Reiseberichtes legt Dana Pinto das konzise Porträt eines Landes im Umbruch vor. In Gesprächen mit säkularen und orthodoxen, jüdischen und arabischen Israelis und in Beobachtungen, in denen sie die kleinsten Alltagsszenen gekonnt mit den Mitteln des engagierten Essays darstellt, gelingt es der Autorin zugleich, Hoffnung zu wecken für eine Zukunft jenseits der Gewalt.

        The Jews in western Europe, 1400–1600

        by Translated and Edited by John Edwards

        As European politics, society, economy and religion underwent epoch-making changes between 1400 and 1600, the treatment of Europe's Jews by the non-Jewish majority was, then as in later periods, a symptom of social problems and tensions in the Continent as a whole. Through a broad-ranging collection of documents, John Edwards sets out to present a vivid picture of the Jewish presence in European life during this vital and turbulent period. Subjects covered include the Jews' own economic presence and culture, social relations between Jews and Christians, the policies and actions of Christian authorities in Church and State. He also draws upon original source material to convey ordinary people's prejudices about Jews, including myths about Jewish 'devilishness', money-grabbing, and 'ritual murder' of Christian children. Full introductory and explanatory material makes accessible the historical context of the subject and highlights the insights offered by the documents as well as the pitfalls to be avoided in this area of historical enquiry. This volume aims to provide a coherent working collection of texts for lecturers, teachers and students who wish to understand the experience of Jewish Europeans in this period. ;

        Greenhouse Technology and Management

        by Nicolas Castilla. Translated by Esteban J Baeza

        Greenhouse cultivation has expanded in recent decades with increased demand for horticultural production. This book covers current technologies and management practices of general greenhouse production, with a particular emphasis on plastic greenhouses and vegetable growing. The author begins by addressing the natural greenhouse microclimate, in the context of managing greenhouse systems such as ventilation, cooling, heating, carbon dioxide enrichment, light management, crop physiology, greenhouse design and construction criteria. The book then moves on to cover other issues of greenhouse management including irrigation and fertilization, soil and substrate cultivation, plant protection, regulation, economic analysis, environmental impact, and post-harvest, production strategies and marketing. Providing an integrated approach to greenhouse production this practical text aims to provide clear advice on optimising the yield and quality of crops grown under greenhouse conditions.

        Lisbon rising

        Urban social movements in the Portuguese Revolution, 1974–75

        by Pedro Pinto

        Lisbon rising explores the role of a widespread urban social movement in the revolutionary process that accompanied Portugal's transition from authoritarianism to democracy. It is the first in-depth study of the widest urban movement of the European post-war period, an event that shook the balance of Cold War politics by threatening the possibility of revolution in Western Europe. Using hitherto unknown sources produced by movement organisations themselves, it challenges long-established views of civil society in Southern Europe as weak, arguing that popular movements had an important and autonomous role in the process that led to democratisation, inviting us to rethink the history and theories of transitions in the region in ways that account for popular agency. Lisbon rising will be of interest not only to students of twentieth-century European history, but across disciplines to students of democratisation, social movements and citizenship in political science and sociology. ;
