Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2013The 1989 Revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe
From Communism to Pluralism
by Kevin McDermott, Matthew Stibbe
This important book reassesses a defining historical, political and ideological moment in contemporary history: the 1989 revolutions in central and eastern Europe. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the authors reconsider such crucial themes as the broader historical significance of the 1989 events, the complex interaction between external and internal factors in the origins and outcomes of the revolutions, the impact of the 'Gorbachev phenomenon', the West and the end of the Cold War, the political and socio-economic determinants of the revolutionary processes in Poland, Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, and the competing academic, cultural and ideological perceptions of the year 1989 as communism gave way to post-communist pluralism in the 1990s and beyond. Concluding that the contentious term 'revolution' is indeed apt for the momentous developments in eastern Europe in 1989, this book will be essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and specialists alike. ;

Cosy Krimi trifft Buchzauber: Auf den Spuren eines geheimnisvollen Katers, einer Geisterbibliothekarin und eines wendungsreichen Rätsels Eines Morgens taucht ein Schränkchen mit gebrauchten Büchern vor Evans Schule auf – eine kleine Freiluftbibliothek! Bewacht wird sie von einem freundlichen, rot getigerten Kater namens Mortimer. Evan nimmt zwei Bücher mit nach Hause und findet alte Ausleihscheine darin. Gab es früher etwa eine richtige Bibliothek in der Stadt? Warum ist sie nicht mehr da? Evans Vater weicht seinen Fragen aus und auch die anderen Erwachsenen scheinen etwas zu verbergen. Zusammen mit seinem besten Freund Rafi begibt sich Evan auf die Spur der verschwundenen Bibliothek. Dabei kreuzt der geheimnisvolle Kater immer wieder den Weg der beiden. Mortimer scheint auf ganz besondere Weise mit der Geschichte der Bibliothek verbunden zu sein. Was Evan schließlich herausfindet, stellt nicht nur sein eigenes Leben auf den Kopf, es bringt auch eine Wahrheit ans Licht, die ihre Stadt für immer verändern wird. Der New-York-Times-Bestseller und #1 Indie Bestseller erzählt von Büchern und Freundschaften, die uns ein Leben lang begleiten. Eine herzerwärmende Geschichte ab 9 Jahren zum Gemeinsam- und Selberlesen. Kurze Kapitel lassen die Seiten vorbeifliegen und mit jeder neuen Entdeckung steigt die Spannung. Wer vor dem Lesen noch kein Bücherwurm ist, wird es danach garantiert sein.
