Book Description

Dieses zweibändige Werk über die Gesetzgebung des Dritten Reiches erfaßt die wichtigsten Gesetze und Gesetzgebungswerke der Zeit von 1933–1945 und macht sie allgemein zugänglich. Der erste Band wird eine Darstellung des Verlaufs der nationalsozialistischen Gesetzgebungsgeschichte enthalten. Der zweite Band enthält nach Sachgebieten gegliedert und in vollständigem Wortlaut jene Gesetze und Gesetzgebungswerke, denen die nationalsozialistische Weltanschauung erkennbar zu Grunde liegt, aber auch solche, deren Ursprünge in die Zeit vor 1933 zurückreichen, deren Inkrafttreten jedoch erst nach 1933 stattfand. Erfaßt und abgedruckt sind die Verfassungs- und Verwaltungsgesetzgebung, die Justizgesetze, die Gesetze über das Militärwesen, die Wirtschafts- und Sozialgesetzgebung, die Kulturgesetze, die Kirchengesetze, aber auch die Gesetzgebung zum Bürgerlichen Recht und zum Strafrecht. Beide Bände zusammen liefern einen Beitrag zu einer genaueren und quellenbezogeneren Kenntnis der legislativen Tätigkeit der Zeit von 1933–1945, die für das Verständnis dieser Epoche der jüngsten Geschichte unerläßlich ist. Noch zielbewußter als andere rivalisierende Weltanschauungen hat der Nationalsozialismus die Gesetzgebung als Instrument des Umbaus von Staat und Gesellschaft benutzt, um seine politischen Vorstellungen in die Realität umzusetzen. Als Ausdruck dieser Umsetzung begegnet uns eine Gesetzgebung, die nicht nur Spiegel ihrer Zeit ist, sondern von einer Gesetzesauffassung beherrscht wird, die nicht in einer Rechtstradition, als vielmehr in der Weltanschauung selbst ihren Ursprung hat.

Amazing accuracy.......1999-05-12

It's amazing how accurate the calculations are. Strictly speaking, we just want to have the positions more or less of the planets e.g., but Jean Meeus goes so far, he even takes the speed of light in account, delivering results with an accuracy beneath the arcsecond. However, the book is the only one in is kind and explains the formulae needed for the positions of all solar system bodies, including comets and minor planets. How difficult Jean Meeus goes doesn't matter, because he made the book easily reading. Corrections including nutation, aberration and recession are more comprehensible than ever. The book is a must for the amateur astronomers who also know how to build programs to simulate the movements of all lights at night. Specially because Jean Meeus starts the book with all possible surprises you meet when using floating numbers. You will never regret it.

There Are No Children Here, the true story of brothers Lafeyette and Pharoah Rivers, ages 11 and 9 at the start, brings home the horror of trying to make it in a violence-ridden public housing project. The boys live in a gang-plagued war zone on Chicago's West Side, literally learning how to dodge bullets the way kids in the suburbs learn to chase baseballs. "If I grow up, I'd like to be a bus driver," says Lafeyette at one point. That's if, not when--spoken with the complete innocence of a child. The book's title comes from a comment made by the brothers' mother as she and author Alex Kotlowitz contemplate the challenges of living in such a hostile environment: "There are no children here," she says. "They've seen too much to be children." This book humanizes the problem of inner-city pathology, makes readers care about Lafeyette and Pharoah more than they may expect to, and offers a sliver of hope buried deep within a world of chaos.

Book Description

This is the moving and powerful account of two remarkable boys struggling to survive in Chicago's Henry Horner Homes, a public housing complex disfigured by crime and neglect.

The other America indeed.......2007-09-25

Nice mix of anecdote and historical background on life in inner city America. Excellent insight into the everyday difficulties faced by families and some of the root causes. This book, though almost 20 years old, still has a message that needs to be heard.

a sobering account of the horrendous state of America's impoverished.......2007-07-18

You don't need to look to Africa or the Middle East to find crime and poverty. Millions live in gang-riddled public housing projects, where violence is a fact of life. If these thoughts don't stir your heart, this book will.

impressive work of reserach and great story telling.......2007-04-30

As in his other book, The other side of the River, Alex Kotlowitz proves again what an amazing story teller he is. Kotlowitz spent a couple of years living with and getting to Know Pharaoh and Lafeyette in the Chiacgo housing project, a place where even the police are afraid to go into without back up. The life of these children seems to be written in the stars, everything is planned for them - poverty, delinquency, prison, abuse, drugs and finally death. Regardless of your stand on social (in)equality, wellfare and other government help, it is easy to relate to Kotlowitz' regard for the boys and some of their friends, although most of us are on the "right" side of the law and the more affluent side of society. The poignant story brings to mind the chicken and the egg debate - do people sink into poverty because of inadequate government help or do they have a hand in it? The boys' mother has 8 children, no job and her husband wont provide for them. Why does she continue to have more children? The government built housing for the people, but the housing is substandard, and reinforces the residents' feelings of being left behind, not on society's top priority. Has America given up on these children?
Can't wait for Alex to write an update, 10 years later.

Great Reading.......2007-04-07

I was required to read this book for a class and loved it! The story of these boys was so moving. I would recommend this book to everyone!

You MUST read this book.......2007-01-10

This goes out to everyone living in America today.... you have to read this book. I grew up in a small rural town. My only experience of urban life came from movies and rap music. This book made it plainly clear to me that we are sweeping Americas own problems under a rug. Though I feel strongly for the plight of others all over the world, how can we help them when we haven't spent the time and energy that we need to fix our own backyard? We need to invest in our future and it needs to happen now. This book should be required reading in our schools especially with regards to small town schools. These schools tend to "glamorize" urban life and gangs instead of understanding what they are, a means of survival for our scared youth looking for protection and who don't see another way out nor a future for themselves.

With the exception of Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright has quite possibly had more biographies written about her than any other secretary of state, and the titles keep coming. Unlike earlier biographies, which focused more attention on her personal history and the years leading up to her appointment as secretary of state (Seasons of Her Life, Madeleine Albright: A Twentieth-Century Odyssey), Madeleine Albright and the New American Diplomacy goes in depth into Albright's performance as the nation's chief diplomat. Written by a former bureau chief of the Washington Post who traveled with Albright for two and a half years, it discloses her every move, from her own campaigning for the post to her frustrations with the Middle East peace process during Netanyahu's rule to her attempts to shore up the floundering Russian democracy. Thomas Lippman gives us a bird's-eye view of negotiations, public appearances, and private confidences. He also reveals where and why Albright's hands were tied (in Kosovo and Rwanda, for example) and why she was forced to make evasive statements that frustrated the rest of the world. This makes for a fascinating review of recent foreign policy, and clarifies not only Albright's personal style but the workings of diplomacy.

Both Bill Clinton and Albright have had to redefine foreign policy in an era no longer defined by the black-and-white lines of the cold war, but overwhelmed by "a world of growing complexity and murkiness, where the arguments for or against any particular decision seemed always to multiply." Lippman shows how Albright struggled to develop a sensible foreign policy while also interjecting a new concern for women and the environment into foreign-policy considerations. While Lippman has no trouble critiquing Albright for her belief that the United States' take on an issue is always right as well as her lack of compassion for Palestinians, she is ultimately painted as a success. Albright, according to Lippman, has been "a secretary of state like no other, [who] has tried to renovate diplomacy in theory and practice ... [with] boundless enthusiasm, an immense capacity for work, and an absolute confidence in the special talents of women." This is a rare and valuable report of an extraordinary person and time. --Lesley Reed

MUST READ.......2003-09-19

we need to bring back Albright as soon as possible and this book helps us learn why. Why do we need albright? Because Albright will help Islam conquer the west. Albright will help the albanians topple most of their neighboors and we will bomb the civilians to stop these people from defending themselves. Albright is the greatest secretary of state in modern memory(the last 2 years are an exeption) and this book details every exploit, every inch Jihad came closer to our shores, every helping hand we gave to communism and terrorism and fascism. Albrights book is just a wonderful necceary aaccount of americas foreign policy.

She details how an foreign policy of invading countries that support terror is viscous. She shows how a better foriegn policy is supporting terrorists because if we support them enough they will become wealthy and then hopefully they wont have time to waste blowing themselves up because they can hire someone to do it for them. Albright explains in this book how she helped the PLO build airports and schools and day care centers so that the terrorists could mor easily get his bombs from Iran(the airport) teach his children the art of bomb making(schools) and then put his kids in day care while he went to become the next martyr. This policy was well on the way to achieving her goal(the destruction of israel) when viscious right wing neo conservatives stole the 2000 election.

A must read to understand americas morasss.

Balanced & Insightful.......2002-05-09

Lippman's biography is balanced, fair and an enjoyable read. You'll come away with a clear sense of Albright's strengths and special qualities as well as her weaknesses as a leader. You'll learn how her style differs from that of Christopher and Powell. I would have liked a little more clarity and depth on how she justified women's issues as a foreign policy imperative. Her comments about enslavement of women and the likelihood of war under women political leaders hinted at her views. I suspect, however, there's more to her arguments than the book covered. Albright's perspective and the national security establishment's reaction to it may color our relations with Arab allies, the Chinese and other important global players. I also would have liked to explore more how her personal history influenced her views on the Middle East. Lippman kept mentioning that Albright showed unusually little compassion for Palestinians yet I never learned why.

A Lippmanese Nutshell of Albright's Diplomatic Challenges.......2000-06-15

"Madeleine Albright and the New American Diplomacy" is a seasoned reporter's lensview of "classic Albright" and the political, cultural and diverse complexities involved in the politiking of American diplomacy at the beginning of the 21st century. This book is the first up-front and up-close skillfully crafted exposé of the unyielding and seemingly overwhelming intricacies of the first Information Age secretary of state's practice of diplomacy. This book details from an American reporter's point of view the articulation of, and the simultaneous architecturing of Albright's personal and public political art and science of what I call "real-time" international human relations. This highly timely and acutely valuable book, which is an engaging read on American diplomatic practice in the Information Age, commences what will be a long series of critical evaluations of this period. This book merits an attentive reading for a variety of reasons. First, it provides a multi-dimensional insider's view of the behind the scenes collaborative (and at times coercive) "maneuvering" from all the respective domains, i.e., State Department, press, White House, Congress, foreign diplomats etc., which induced the outcomes of this new diplomacy. Second, it is the first book on the new diplomacy to provide a discerning profile of Madeleine Albright, the diplomat, as the reengineering diplomatic practitioner she has had to become in assuming the role of an information age secretary of state-a position the job description of which is just beginning to formulate its definition. Notwithstanding, it would have chartered its own course, Lippman in a lucid and vivid writing style demonstrates how Secretary Albright decisively sets Post-Cold War diplomacy on a new course. Third, this book educates us to some degree on the extreme difficulty in selling real-time civic-humanitarian (RTC) diplomacy convincingly to the American people-even though this era will demand more of global citizens than has traditional diplomacy. Fourth, Lippman details the critical relationship-building skills which are, and will continue to be, crucial as this revolution in American diplomatic affairs continues to chart its course. Fifth, Lippman does not foreclose, but aptly demonstrates, the intensity of plural flexibility which is required of new civic and governmental diplomats. Sixth, in as much as Madeleine Albright is the central figure around whom this book is written, this book is as much about the inevitable funeral of traditional diplomacy the world once knew and the birth of a civic revolution in American diplomatic affairs, as it is the inevitability of the emergence of creative and diverse meanings of the term "diplomacy' bringing new and diverse forms of diplomatic practice, i.e., website/Internet diplomacy, OP-Ed diplomacy, NGO-host diplomacy, public forum diplomacy, red-eye diplomacy, media diplomacy, etc. In the end Lippman's book demonstrates the unpredictable nature of RTC diplomacy in our new world even when you have the best resources, a steel will, the strategic means and noble motives as well as the most highly skilled and well intentioned of diplomats. Seventh, this book gives us a realistic look at who Madeleine Albright is and what she is about while at the same time demanding that diplomacy be broadly redefined "as whatever it takes in the context of ethical international human relations to reach the high ground of the, or some, moral excellence of peace." Eighth, this book provides one American male journalist's story of how an American diplomat has courageously role modeled for American citizens their own respective ownership of the American diplomatic process. Ninth, Lippman allows us to learn from Secretary Albright that American diplomacy for the cause of peace is something we must fight for-it is not a passive American past time in which American citizens have no investment-but that American diplomacy is an enterprise which the American people have an intimate role and responsibility to direct the future of, and to support-this message could not have come at a more appropriate time than during this UN proclaimed International Year of the Culture of Peace; Ten, this book is as much about the coming of [information] age of the press and the field of journalism as it is of the diplomats and diplomatic correspondents who are the moves and shakers of this RTC diplomacy. This book reflects the adjustment the media has had to make in reaction to, and commensurate with, the new demands of RTC diplomatic practice. Notwithstanding these commendable accomplishments the book is not without its flaws. The book being the first of many diplomatic affairs Information Age-time piece publications is understandably more concerned with recording the multitudinous diplomatic actions Madeleine Albright executed during her term rather than focusing on an academic impact study of the high technology information age revolution on her practice of diplomacy-- this comes through only as a backdrop to her diplomatic maneuvers. In other words, those criteria which make "the new diplomacy" new are so intricately woven into the fabric of Albright's "management of world affairs" that any study of the impact of her diplomacy on their outcome is expectedly obscured by the diplomatic war to overcome them. Third, being the fresh, first book of its kind this book subjects itself to the very scrutiny to which its main character is also subject-that of being a trail blazer with no previous model on which to depend-this is both a positive and negative factor. For the most part, this factor makes it more difficult to measure the merit of this type of book. If this book, through the active parlance of diplomacy of Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, is designed to speak to and warn the diplomats of today and tomorrow, man or woman, governmental or nongovernmental of the intensity of, as well as the types of battles, confrontations, frustrations, criticisms and crises, both at home and abroad, they will continue to face in an unpredictable world of real-time civic humanitarian diplomacy of the 21st century it does just that. Finaly, Lippman accomplishes this while emphasizing the necessity to fully engage Americans in the role of incorporating "America" into the public enterprise and the international domains of American diplomacy.

First I have to say that I adore Mrs. Sarah Fountain and I knew before I opened this book that I would love it. Mrs Fountain is an Arkansas treasure. This book is a wonderful gift for anyone that is interested in Southern history and geneaolgy. The letters paint a picture of the past in a way that nothing else can. The people were alive for me, their sorrows were mine, and I really admired the bravery of those women. Thank you Mrs Sarah! Jamie Sanders Peacock UCA 1977

This collection of essays, most of which have previously appeared in major lesbian and mainstream periodicals, begins with an account of Victoria Brownworth's development as a radical child. A white girl standing up for civil rights, an out lesbian speaking her mind in a Catholic high school, Brownworth went on to wrestle with the controversies of queer culture: passing as straight, economic class consciousness, lipstick lesbians, lesbian chic, same-sex marriage, and why queers are pushing for service in the military. An early, extremely principled proponent of selective outing, Brownworth's voice remains provocative and intelligent. Too Queer is a Lambda Literary Award finalist for Lesbian Studies and Small Press.

Very good essays.......2007-01-17

27 essays on a whole range of different subjects by a queer activist. She writes about everything from personal things such as gardens, cats, and breast cancer (well okay, this can be political too), to essays about the death of gay black men from AIDS and essays on female genital mutilation. She writes about her own life experiences - and she's undergone a lot - and about causes and controversial issues such as outing and gay marriage. I really want to give this 4 1/2 stars because it's very good, it's just not my utter favourite enough to give 5 stars to. It's a very good read and will get you thinking, whether you agree with the author's beliefs or not. I wish she wrote for my local newspaper.

a great read, well worth it.......1999-10-07

An amazing book, absolutely worth reading

essential reading for the radical queer.......1997-03-07

Tired of those conservative assimilationist queers? Read this book, dealing with large political subjects as well as the details of trying to construct a life. Nominated for TWO lammy awards.....
