\"\"VIKTOR FRANKL’S SEARCH FOR MEANING<\/a>
\nAn Emblematic 20th-Century Life
\nTimothy Pytell
\nVolume 23, Making Sense of History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First published in 1946, Viktor Frankl\u2019s memoir Man\u2019s Search for Meaning<\/em> remains one of the most influential books of the last century, selling over ten million copies worldwide and having been embraced by successive generations of readers captivated by its author\u2019s philosophical journey in the wake of the Holocaust. This long-overdue reappraisal examines Frankl\u2019s life and intellectual evolution anew, from his early immersion in Freudian and Adlerian theory to his development of the \u201cthird Viennese school\u201d amid the National Socialist domination of professional psychotherapy. It teases out the fascinating contradictions and ambiguities surrounding his years in Nazi Europe, including the experimental medical procedures he oversaw in occupied Austria and a stopover at the Auschwitz concentration camp far briefer than has commonly been assumed. Throughout, author Timothy Pytell gives a penetrating but fair-minded account of a man whose paradoxical embodiment of asceticism, celebrity, tradition, and self-reinvention drew together the complex strands of twentieth-century intellectual life.<\/p>\n

\"\"FAULT LINES<\/a>
\nEarthquakes and Urbanism in Modern Italy
\nGiacomo Parrinello
\nVolume 6, Environment in History: International Perspectives<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Earth\u2019s fractured geology is visible in its fault lines. It is along these lines that earthquakes occur, sometimes with disastrous effects. These disturbances can significantly influence urban development, as seen in the aftermath of two earthquakes in Messina, Italy, in 1908 and in the Belice Valley, Sicily, in 1968. Following the history of these places before and after their destruction, this book explores plans and developments that preceded the disasters and the urbanism that emerged from the ruins. These stories explore fault lines between \u201crural\u201d and \u201curban,\u201d \u201cbackwardness\u201d and \u201cdevelopment,\u201d and \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter,\u201d shedding light on the role of environmental forces in the history of human habitats.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE LONG AFTERMATH<\/a>
\nCultural Legacies of Europe at War, 1936-2016
\nEdited by Manuel Bragan\u00e7a and Peter Tame
\nForeword by Richard Overy
\nAfterword by Jay Winter
\nVolume 17, Contemporary European History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In its totality, the \u201cLong Second World War\u201d\u2014extending from the beginning of the Spanish Civil War to the end of hostilities in 1945\u2014has exerted enormous influence over European culture. Bringing together leading historians, sociologists, and literary and film scholars, this broadly interdisciplinary volume investigates Europeans\u2019 individual and collective memories and the ways in which they have shaped the continent\u2019s cultural heritage. Focusing on the major combatant nations\u2014Spain, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Russia\u2014it offers thoroughly contextualized explorations of novels, memoirs, films, and a host of other cultural forms to illuminate European public memory.<\/p>\n

\"\"COMRADES OF COLOR<\/a>
\nEast Germany in the Cold War World
\nEdited by Quinn Slobodian
\nVolume 15, Protest, Culture & Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In keeping with the tenets of socialist internationalism, the political culture of the German Democratic Republic strongly emphasized solidarity with the non-white world: children sent telegrams to Angela Davis in prison, workers made contributions from their wages to relief efforts in Vietnam and Angola, and the deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Ho Chi Minh, and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired public memorials. Despite their prominence, however, scholars have rarely examined such displays in detail. Through a series of illuminating historical investigations, this volume deploys archival research, ethnography, and a variety of other interdisciplinary tools to explore the rhetoric and reality of East German internationalism.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE SECOND GENERATION<\/a>
\n\u00c9migr\u00e9s from Nazi Germany as Historians
\nWith a Biobibliographic Guide
\nEdited by Andreas W. Daum, Hartmut Lehmann, and James J. Sheehan
\nVolume 20, Studies in German History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the thousands of children and young adults who fled Nazi Germany in the years before the Second World War, a remarkable number went on to become trained historians in their adopted homelands. By placing autobiographical testimonies alongside historical analysis and professional reflections, this richly varied collection comprises the first sustained effort to illuminate the role these men and women played in modern historiography. Focusing particularly on those who settled in North America, Great Britain, and Israel, it culminates in a comprehensive, meticulously researched biobibliographic guide that provides a systematic overview of the lives and works of this \u201csecond generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"THE ANATOMY OF MURDER<\/a>
\nEthical Transgressions and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich
\nSabine Hildebrandt
\nForeword by William E. Seidelman<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the many medical specializations to transform themselves during the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received relatively little attention from historians. While politics and racial laws drove many anatomists from the profession, most who remained joined the Nazi party, and some helped to develop the scientific basis for its racialist dogma. As historian and anatomist Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, however, their complicity with the Nazi state went beyond the merely ideological. They progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression, turning increasingly to victims of the regime for body procurement, as the traditional model of working with bodies of the deceased gave way, in some cases, to a new paradigm of experimentation with the \u201cfuture dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"GENOCIDE ON SETTLER FRONTIERS<\/a>
\nWhen Hunter-Gatherers and Commercial Stock Farmers Clash
\nEdited by Mohamed Adhikari
\nVolume 22, War and Genocide<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

European colonial conquest included many instances of indigenous peoples being exterminated. Cases where invading commercial stock farmers clashed with hunter-gatherers were particularly destructive, often resulting in a degree of dispossession and slaughter that destroyed the ability of these societies to reproduce themselves. The experience of aboriginal peoples in the settler colonies of southern Africa, Australia, North America, and Latin America bears this out. The frequency with which encounters of this kind resulted in the annihilation of forager societies raises the question of whether these conflicts were inherently genocidal, an issue not yet addressed by scholars in a systematic way.<\/p>\n

\"\"EMPIRE OF PICTURES<\/a>
\nGlobal Media and the 1960s Remaking of American Foreign Policy
\nS\u00f6nke Kunkel
\nVolume 8, Explorations in Culture and International History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Cold War historiography, the 1960s are often described as a decade of mounting diplomatic tensions and international social unrest. At the same time, they were a period of global media revolution: communication satellites compressed time and space, television spread around the world, and images circulated through print media in expanding ways. Examining how U.S. policymakers exploited these changes, this book offers groundbreaking international research which shows that U.S. power came to depend more and more not on military superiority or economic strength alone, but also on America\u2019s ability to create appealing pictures that assured recognition of its global leadership.<\/p>\n

\"\"TELEVISION’S MOMENT<\/a>
\nSitcom Audiences and the Sixties Cultural Revolution
\nChristina von Hodenberg<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Television was one of the forces shaping the cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, when a blockbuster TV series could reach up to a third of a country\u2019s population. This book explores television\u2019s impact on social change by comparing three sitcoms and their audiences. The shows in focus \u2013 Till Death Us Do Part in Britain, All in the Family in the United States, and One Heart and One Soul in West Germany \u2013 centered on a bigoted anti-hero and his family. Between 1966 and 1979 they saturated popular culture, and managed to accelerate as well as deradicalize value changes and collective attitudes regarding gender roles, sexuality, religion, and race.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE HISTORY OF THE STASI<\/a>
\nEast Germany’s Secret Police, 1945-1990
\nJens Gieseke
\nTranslated from the German by David Burnett<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an excellent book, full of careful, balanced judgements and a wealth of concisely-communicated knowledge. It is also well written. Indeed, it is the best book yet published on the MfS\u2026More than any other written on the MfS, his is a work of real scholarship which attempts a comprehensive history of the Ministry and its operations and assesses their development and significance.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 German History<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nEdited by Samantha Christiansen and Zachary Scarlett
\nForeword by Arif Dirlik
\nVolume 8, Protest, Culture & Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Essential reading for all scholars of the global 1960s. Christiansen and Scarlett have brought together an extraordinary group of contributors. They challenge readers to think about the vector and velocity of political change in the long Sixties era by grounding their work in the fierce struggles for freedom in what was once called ‘the Third World.’\u201d<\/em> \u2022 David Farber<\/strong>, Temple University<\/p>\n

\"\"BLOOD AND KINSHIP<\/a>
\nMatter for Metaphor from Ancient Rome to the Present
\nEdited by Christopher H. Johnson, Bernhard Jussen, David Warren Sabean, and Simon Teuscher<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a book of astonishing quality, comprising a wealth of outstanding studies that underline the various shifts and mutations that took place mostly in the late medieval and late modern periods. It is true that issues of gender could play a more prevalent role and that discourses and semantic issues are largely privileged over visual matters, cultural practices, and material culture, but rather than a critique this is an invitation for further investigations on those aspects. In any case, those limitations certainly do not make this book less inspiring and pioneering regarding the history of the blood metaphor and its shifting meanings.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Contributions to the History of Concepts<\/strong><\/p>\n
