September 2004Weinen hat seine Zeit und Lachen hat seine Zeit
Erinnerungen aus zwei Welten
by Max Kirschner, Ebba D. Drolshagen, Bernd Hontschik
Max Kirschner ist ein deutscher Jude, geboren und aufgewachsen um die Jahrhundertwende in München; er dient »seinem Vaterland« als Sanitätsoffizier im Ersten Weltkrieg, wofür ihm das Eiserne Kreuz verliehen wird, das er mit Stolz trägt; arbeitet lange Jahre als Arzt in Frankfurt am Main – bis der Nationalsozialismus auch dieses Leben von Grund auf verändert: Dem Entzug der Approbation folgt der Transport ins Konzentrationslager Buchenwald, der Verlust allen Eigentums, aller sozialen Wurzeln. Kirschner flieht mit seiner Familie nach England, emigriert in die Vereinigten Staaten. Dort beginnt er, mit über 50 Jahren, noch einmal von vorn, studiert noch einmal, erhält die neue Staatsbürgerschaft, baut eine Praxis auf und lernt dort endlich wieder das Glück des Lebens kennen – mit seinen Kindern und vielen Enkeln.Max Kirschner ist nie wieder nach Deutschland zurückgekommen, und seine Erinnerungen hat er in englischer Sprache geschrieben. Weinen hat seine Zeit und Lachen hat seine Zeit ist ein ergreifendes Dokument, ein einfacher, auf jede Ausschmückung verzichtender Blick auf eine Existenz, die eine jüdische, deutsche und amerikanische war, ein Bericht, der von der Kraft eines Mannes erzählt, der sich sein Leben nicht nehmen ließ.Das Manuskript dieser Erinnerungen schenkte Fred Kirschner, Max Kirschners Sohn, nach einer erfolgreichen Behandlung dem Frankfurter Chirurgen Bernd Hontschik. Der vertraute es dem Jüdischen Verlag an.

2020Vitamin D
The healing power of the sunshine vitamin
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2021Making home
Orphanhood, kinship and cultural memory in contemporary American novels
by Maria Holmgren Troy, Elizabeth Kella, Helena Wahlstrom, Maria Holmgren Troy
Making home explores the figure of the orphan child in a broad selection of contemporary US novels by popular and critically acclaimed authors Barbara Kingsolver, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Marilynne Robinson, Michael Cunningham, Jonathan Safran Foer, John Irving, Kaye Gibbons, Octavia Butler, Jewelle Gomez and Toni Morrison. The orphan child is a continuous presence in US literature, not only in children's books and nineteenth-century texts, but also in a variety of genres of contemporary fiction for adults. Making home examines the meanings of this figure in the contexts of American literary history, social history and ideologies of family, race and nation. It argues that contemporary orphan characters function as links to literary history and national mythologies, even as they may also serve to critique the limits of literary history, as well as the limits of familial and national belonging.

The ArtsSeptember 2025Picturing the Romantic
New perspectives on European Romanticism(s) in the visual arts
by Elisabeth Ansel, Johannes Grave, Christin Neubauer, Mira Claire Zadrozny
European Romanticism in the visual arts has always been defined by transnational transfer processes. It is surprising that international aspects of Romantic movements have been, in contrast to literary studies, a gap in art historical research. Picturing the Romantic addresses this issue and reveals new perspectives on European Romanticism(s) in the visual arts by reconsidering the phenomenon's traditional canon, geographical dimensions and terminology and analysing various examples of the complex and heterogeneous works of Romantic painting. In sixteen original essays, renowned and early career researchers examine the question of whether to speak of several independently considered Romanticisms or one European Romanticism. They adopt a transnational perspective on Romantic art in and beyond Europe, focusing on the interconnections between the countries.

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2026Sovereignty disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
A public order perspective
by Thomas D. Grant
Because maritime questions are often admixed with territorial sovereignty questions, parties sometimes seek to settle them together. Jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS-according to the received view does not encompass disputes concerning territorial sovereignty. In this book, international law scholar and practitioner Thomas D. Grant argues that the received view overstates the exclusion of sovereignty disputes. In Coastal State Rights, UNCLOS Annex VII arbitrators overstated the scope of the term 'sovereignty dispute' as well, an error of definition compounded when they ignored evidence probative as to whether a sovereignty dispute exists. Examining UNCLOS, its drafting history, and decades of decided cases, Sovereignty Disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea relates an important problem of international dispute settlement to the public order of which UNCLOS forms part.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2024Off white
Central and Eastern Europe and the global history of race
by Catherine Baker, Bogdan C. Iacob, Anikó Imre, James Mark
This volume foregrounds racial difference as a key to an alternative history of the Central and Eastern European region, which revolves around the role of whiteness as the unacknowledged foundation of semi-peripheral nation-states and national identities, and of the region's current status as a global stronghold of unapologetic white, Christian nationalisms. Contributions address the pivotal role of whiteness in international diplomacy, geographical exploration, media cultures, music, intellectual discourses, academic theories, everyday language and banal nationalism's many avenues of expressions. The book offers new paradigms for understanding the relationships among racial capitalism, populism, economic peripherality and race.

June 2004Der Graf von Monte Christo
by Alexandre (d. Ä.) Dumas, Pavel Brom, Dagmar Bromova, Meinhard Hasenbein
Alexandre Dumas (d. Ä.) wurde 1802 als Sohn eines napoleonischen Generals in Villers-Cotterêts geboren, mit 19 Jahren ging er nach Paris ans Theater. Seine Dramen sind heute vergessen, seine Romane dagegen, wie Die drei Musketiere (1844) oder Der Graf von Monte Christo (1845-46) machten ihn berühmt. Alexandre Dumas starb 1870 in Puys bei Dieppe.
