Wendemanöver : Die geheimen Wege zur Wiedervereinigung. Das Ende der Kohl-Legende (3446402713)

Der Zusammenbruch der DDR und der Mauerfall kamen völlig überraschend, Kohl nutzte die Gunst der Stunde und leitete die deutsche Wiedervereinigung ein. Das ist die offizielle Lesart - bis heute. Dieses Buch macht mit dieser Kohl-Legende Schluss: Die Hauptakteure der Wende wurden keineswegs von den Geschehnissen 1989 überrascht. Vielmehr war sie das Resultat langjähriger konspirativer Verhandlungen und geheimdienstlich gesteuerter Aktionen zwischen West und Ost. Bereits Anfang der 80er-Jahre finden Geheimgespräche über eine größere Öffnung der Mauer statt. 1983 vermittelt Franz-Josef Strauß der wirtschaftlich angeschlagenen DDR einen Milliardenkredit und unterminiert damit diese Sondierungen. Doch das bringt nicht dauerhaft Hilfe: 1986 errechnet das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit in einer Studie den wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch der DDR in spätestens vier Jahren. 1987 signalisiert Gorbatschow Kohl eine Lösung der deutschen Frage. 1988 wird Kohl der erste Vorschlag gemacht. Doch de...

A Complete Guide To Volume Price Analysis (1491249390)

It was good enough for them What do Charles Dow, Jesse Livermore, and Richard Ney have in common? They used volume and price to anticipate where the market was heading next, and so built their vast fortunes. For them, it was the ticker tape, for us it is the trading screen. The results are the same and can be for you too. You can be lucky too I make no bones about the fact I believe I was lucky in starting my own trading journey using volume. To me it just made sense. The logic was inescapable. And for me, the most powerful reason is very simple. Volume is a rare commodity in trading - a leading indicator. The second and only other leading indicator is price. Everything else is lagged. It's a simple problem As traders, investors or speculators, all we are trying to do is to forecast where the market is heading next. Is there any better way than to use the only two leading indicators we have at our disposal, namely volume and price? And such a powerful solution In isolation, ...

How to Do Ecology : A Concise Handbook - Second Edition (0691161763)

Most books and courses in ecology cover facts and concepts but don't explain how to actually do ecological research. How to Do Ecology provides nuts-and-bolts advice on organizing and conducting a successful research program. This one-of-a-kind book explains how to choose a research question and answer it through manipulative experiments and systematic observations. Because science is a social endeavor, the book provides strategies for working with other people, including professors and collaborators. It suggests effective ways to communicate your findings in the form of journal articles, oral presentations, posters, and grant and research proposals. The book also includes ideas to help you identify your goals, organize a season of fieldwork, and deal with negative results. In short, it makes explicit many of the unspoken assumptions behind doing good research in ecology and provides an invaluable resource for meaningful conversations between ecologists. This second edition of How ...

Unfinished Murder: The Capture of a Serial Rapist : Unfinished Murder: The Capture of a Serial Rapist (0671731858)

From 1983 to 1988, he made Cleveland's West Side his hunting ground and its women his prey. He spied on them, silently invading their most intimate moments, then entered their homes. For the victims of serial rapist Ronnie Shelton, the ordeal began with his terrifying whisper: "Don't look at me. Do what I say and you won't get hurt...." Each woman had been attacked by a stranger who in a moment devastated her life and left her to face "unfinished murder" - the emotional and psychological devastation that is the aftermath of rape. At the end of a five-year manhunt, Shelton would be convicted of raping twenty-nine women - probably less than a third of those he actually raped. Unfinished Murder is the incredible story of a group of survivors who found the courage to speak out, to testify against Shelton and see justice served. During his reign of terror, they lived in fear and silence, warned by him that if they talked he would come back and kill them. A...

Ett rum hos Daisy (9789189357310)

Daisy MacLean har sällan en lugn stund. Tillsammans med sin excentriske far Hector driver hon ett tjusigt hotell på den engelska landsbygden, och förutom allt arbete har hon ett rätt trassligt privatliv att reda ut. När en gammal pojkvän till Daisys vän Tara planerar att fira sitt bröllop på hotellet, blir hon till en början lite orolig och återseendet sätter igång en lång rad av oväntade händelser. Den irriterande snygge, före detta rugbyspelaren Dev Tyzack envisas med att dyka upp på hotellet och Daisy gör allt för att undvika honom. Samtidigt inleder hon på nytt ett förhållande med en gammal kärlek från universitetet, den rolige och betydligt tryggare Josh.

Crime and Punishment in the Jim Crow South (9780252084195)

Policing, incarceration, capital punishment: these forms of crime control were crucial elements of Jim Crow regimes. White southerners relied on them to assert and maintain racial power, which led to the growth of modern state bureaucracies that eclipsed traditions of local sovereignty. Friction between the demands of white supremacy and white southern suspicions of state power created a distinctive criminal justice system in the South, elements of which are still apparent today across the United States. In this collection, Amy Louise Wood and Natalie J. Ring present nine groundbreaking essays about the carceral system and its development over time. Topics range from activism against police brutality to the peculiar path of southern prison reform to the fraught introduction of the electric chair. The essays tell nuanced stories of rapidly changing state institutions, political leaders who sought to manage them, and African Americans who appealed to the regulatory state to protect their...

Der Nationalsozialismus und die Antike (9783805347686)

"Wir haben keine Vergangenheit", räsonierte Hitler über die verzweifelten Versuche der SS-Archäologen, die in den Wäldern Germaniens nach den Vorfahren der Deutschen gruben und lediglich Scherben zu Tage förderten. Die Vergangenheit einer Rasse, so Hitler, auf welche die Deutschen stolz sein könnten, befand sich deshalb in Griechenland und in Rom. Die Inszenierung dieser erlogenen Abstammung breitete sich folgerichtig im öffentlichen Raum aus: in der neo-römischen Architektur, in der neo-griechischen Nacktheit in Kunst und Sport, in den Feldzeichen und Standarten der Aufmärsche oder in der antikisierenden, pathetischen Ästhetik der Parteitage. Was eignete sich besser als Sparta, um einen neuen Menschen zu schaffen? Welches Beispiel konnte besser sein als Rom, um ein Imperium, ein Weltreich aufzubauen? Die bahnbrechende Darstellung von Johann Chapoutot belegt akribisch anhand zahlreicher Beispiele die totalitäre Instrumentalisierung der Antike für ein verbrecherisches Weltbild...

The One World Tartarians (Black and White) : The Greatest Civilization Ever Erased From History (9798689261379)

This book could very well be the greatest revisionist history book ever written in modern times to date about the Greatest Lie about our common world history. The Tartary civilization encompassed most of the World we know today. From Russia to China to Africa to India to Australia and New Zealand to the North and South America's. There have been swept from modern his-story books and were likely destroyed in the 19th-20th centuries along with many of their amazing buildings. There are numerous documents proving that there were also Giants amongst them. The people of Tartary were destroyed by the same advanced technology that controls our weather were flooded, fire bombed, earthquaked and likely had directed energy weapons (DEW) used against them and many of their bones are buried under our cities today. Their "Old Word Order" was a benevolent society where they used sacred geometrical designs, pipe organs and catillion bells to help and to heal and to achieve higher consci...

Ready for a Brand New Beat : How Dancing in the Street Became the Anthem for a Changing America (9798200063857)

Can a song change a nation? In 1964, Marvin Gaye, record producer William Mickey Stevenson, and Motown songwriter Ivy Jo Hunter wrote Dancing in the Street. The song was recorded at Motown's Hitsville USA Studio by Martha and the Vandellas, with lead singer Martha Reeves arranging her own vocals. Released on July 31, the song was supposed to be an upbeat dance recording--a precursor to disco, and a song about the joyousness of dance. But events overtook it, and the song became one of the icons of American pop culture. The Beatles had landed in the U.S. in early 1964. By the summer, the sixties were in full swing. The summer of 1964 was the Mississippi Freedom Summer, the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, the beginning of the Vietnam War, the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and the lead-up to a dramatic election. As the country grew more radicalized in those few months, Dancing in the Street gained currency as an activist anthem. The song took on new meanings, multiple meanings, for m...

Tematem książki „TECH. Krytyka Środowiska Technologicznego." jest problematyka wdrażania do 2040 roku nowych technologii i powstającego w związku z tym ewolucyjnego środowiska technologicznego oraz problematyka mechanizacji człowieka i środowiska naturalnego.
