April 2002Talmud und Internet
Eine Geschichte von zwei Welten
by Jonathan Rosen, Christian Wiese
»Der Ausgangspunkt dieses Buches war eine Elegie für meine Großmutter, die vor drei Jahren starb und die sich weder für den Talmud noch das Internet besonders interessierte. Dennoch weckten ihr Leben und ihr Tod Gedanken in mir, die weit in die dunkle Vergangenheit des Talmuds zurückführen wie auch hinein in die schwer zu fassende technologische Zukunft.« Jonathan Rosens bewegende »Geschichte von zwei Welten« verbindet Reflexionen und persönliche Erinnerungen; sie wird zu einer intellektuellen Reise, die überraschende Parallelen zwischen Talmud und Internet zutage bringt.Die unerschöpfliche Fülle der rabbinischen überlieferung, die Seiten des Talmud, wie auch das World Wide Web machen die Chance eines Diskurses sichtbar, zu dessen Wesen es gehört, mit Ungewißheiten und Paradoxien zu leben, anstatt sie mit autoritären Sinnstiftungen aufzuheben. Der Talmud mit seinen die Grenzen von Zeit und Ort übergreifenden Debatten sicherte das überleben des Judentums nach der Zerstörung des Tempels. Die Exilsituation, die über Jahrhunderte jüdische Existenz geprägt hat, wird in Rosens Deutung transparent für eine hoffnungsvolle Wahrnehmung der Gegenwart. Indem er die Geschichte der eigenen Familie erzählt, gelingt ihm eine exemplarische Positionsbestimmung jüdischen Lebens in unserer Zeit.

Wie die digitalen Medien die Politik verändern
by Tobias Moorstedt
Die USA sind die älteste (Medien-)Demokratie der Welt. Franklin D. Roosevelt unterhielt sich in den dreißiger Jahren bei den »Fireside Chats« per Radio mit den Wählern, John F. Kennedy war der erste Präsident des TV-Zeitalters, 2008 kommt die nächste Medienrevolution: Barack Obama und John McCain kämpfen vor allem im Internet um Stimmen, werben auf MySpace und sammeln so Millionen an Spendengeldern und rekrutieren eine Armee von Graswurzelaktivisten. Tobias Moorstedt erkundet in seiner Reportage, wie die politische Software den demokratischen Prozeß verändert. Er trifft junge Texaner, die durch das Netz mit liberalen Gedanken in Kontakt kommen, begleitet Bürgerjournalisten und spricht mit Internetstrategen und Bloggern – den Meinungsführern des 21. Jahrhunderts.

The main characters of the book, a teenage Matvii and his father Petro, go to Lviv to visit their grandmother. There are still heaps of Soviet things in her ceiling cabinet and they are good at telling stories. Paretns are good at this as well, if you ask them well. The book gives a reason to talk about feelings of nostalgia and values.

by Lutz Jäncke
Is modern digital technology changing our social behavior, communication, and the way we see ourselves? How do we cope with the increasing flood of information pouring over us?

April 2022The Blackest Thing in Slavery Was Not the Black Man
The Last Testament of Eric Williams
by Brinsley Samaroo
The Blackest Thing in Slavery Was Not the Black Man: The Last Testament of Eric Williams represents the final instalment of research and analysis by one of the Caribbean’s foremost historians. In this volume, Eric Williams reflects on the institution of slavery from the ancient period in Europe down to New World African slavery and considers, too, other forms of bondage that followed slavery, including of Japanese, Chinese, Indians and Pacific peoples in many locations worldwide. Williams points ways in which this bondage led to European and American prosperity and the manner in which bonded peoples created their own spaces. This they did through the preservation and revival of the transported culture to the new locations. The Blackest Thing in Slavery makes a significant contribution in that it moves beyond African slavery. It continues the narrative after abolition by showing how the capitalist impulse enabled Europe and the United States to devise other (non-slavery) ways of further exploiting of non-African people in developing countries. These nations fought this further exploitation in banding together to create the south-to-south nonaligned movement, which gave mutual assistance in a number of areas. Most other works tend to separate these issues or deal with them on a regional basis. Eric Williams offers a comprehensive view, tying together many themes in a vast compendium.

January 2022States of Matter: Gases, Liquids, Plasmas, and Solids, Third Edition
by Krista West
Praise for the previous edition: "...aided by clear diagrams and photographs, as well as sidebars that cover historical background, notable scientists, and practical applications of the chemistry concepts."—The Horn Book Guide Without the different states of matter—the solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas that make up our universe—the world would be a very boring place. States of matter are constantly changing form all around us: hot showers steam up the bathroom mirror, gaseous water falls to the ground as snow, liquid escapes from our skin to cool the body, and plasma moves from the atmosphere to the surface of the Earth via lightning strikes. But, as readers of this insightful eBook will learn, these things don't happen by accident. States of Matter: Gases, Liquids, Solids, and Plasmas, Third Edition deciphers the science behind these chemical states to present an engaging and eye-opening reference enhanced by full-color photographs and illustrations.
