Women in a World at War: Seven Dispatches from the Front
by Gagnon, Madeleine    Aronoff, Phyllis    Scott, Howard
(Paperback - English - 9780889224834)
br In 1999, poet and novelist Madeleine Gagnon undertook to document the experience of women in the many war zones at the end of a "century of ashes" through their own eyes and in their own words. Her record of those encounters boldly confronts the harshest realities of and asks the most difficult questions about not only the horrors of war, but also the quest for justice, the experience of love and compassion, the inextinguishable hope for the future, and the will to live--the humanity that endures against all odds. Travelling to Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, Gagnon talked with women of all ages and social cla ..

John Maynard Keynes
by Barnett, Vincent       
(Hardcover - English - 9780415567695)
John Maynard Keynes is arguably the most important and influential economist of the twentieth century, and stands alongside Adam Smith and Karl Marx as one of the most famous economic thinkers of all time.

Sowjetisierung Oder Neutralitat?: Optionen Sowjetischer Besatzungspolitik in Deutschland Und Osterreich 1945-1955
by Hilger, Andreas    Schmeitzner, Mike    Vollnhals, Clemens
(Hardcover - German - 9783525369067)
English summary: The present volume attempts, for the first time, a systematic comparison of the Soviet occupation policies in Austria and Germany after 1945. The question of why Austria was able to retain its sovereignty and achieve the withdrawal of occupation troops in 1955, while, in the same year, Moscow definitively cemented its doctrine of the existence of two German states, is the focal point of this study. The contributed articles examine, on the one hand, the often very similar procedures and policies implemented by the occupying power in the two zones while, on the other hand, inquiring into the fundamental differences in circumstances that initially ..

Wasser & Wirtschaft Im Klimawandel: Konkrete Ergebnisse Am Beispiel Der Sensiblen Region Oststeiermark
by Dalla-Via, Andreas    Prettenthaler, Franz   
(Paperback - German - 9783700138921)
Even though the population of Austria considers its plenitude of water nearly part of its national identity, only about 3% of the available water is used. In addition, there are large regional differences regarding the vulnerability to fluctuations in local water supplies through rainfall and other parameters, in part caused by global climate changes. In parts of Lower Austria, Burgenland and eastern Styria, the massive quaternary gravel deposits from the large fluvia-glacial valleys (Murtal, Drautal, Donautal), famous as excellent ground water conductors, are lacking. As well, some of these areas are considered "water poor" districts, as they show the effects o ..

History of the Council of Europe
by Council of Europe, Directorate       
(Paperback - English - 9789287176332)
The Council of Europe, the oldest European organisation, was founded in 1949 with the aim of unifying the continent as a whole. The decision to establish its headquarters in Strasbourg was, moreover, symbolic of the desire for reconciliation between peoples. From the outset the Council of Europe adopted an institutional structure comprising a committee of ministers and a parliamentary assembly - the first in Europe. This book retraces the history of the Organisation. Consisting initially of Western European states, the Council of Europe was destined to embrace all the continent's countries, but the Cold War delayed its enlargement. It is only since 1989 that th ..
