2020Vitamin D
The healing power of the sunshine vitamin
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

Shattered Crystal
by Baruch Cohen
A riveting historical novel about a Berlin family during World War II, whose members struggle to come to terms with conflicting parts of their identities. Widower Franz Kerner and his three grown children live their lives as loyal German citizens. With the Third Reich’s rise to power and subsequent war, they do their best for their beloved country, during those tumultuous times. Karl, the eldest, enlists in the Luftwaffe and becomes a pilot; Elsa, the middle child, works at a government office; and Helmut, the youngest, joins the infantry. But Franz harbors a deep secret, one that defines the Kerners’ identity. When he finally reveals the secret, their worlds are deeply shaken. Illustrating the characters’ inner struggles against the backdrop of the raging war, the author vividly recounts this intricate tale. The historical aspects in the novel are based on largescale, comprehensive research, and serve to shed light on major global events from a more intimate point of view, one that illustrates the repercussions of war for all of mankind. Baruch (Bobby) Cohen was born in Romania (1927) and, after previous unsuccessful attempts, immigrated to Israel in 1948 upon its establishment. The author served in the Israeli Navy, and later worked at the State Comptroller’s Office until his retirement as deputy director of inspection of Israel’s security forces. For his activities in helping the Romanian Jews between 1945-1947, Cohen was awarded the Decoration of State Warriors by the Israel Ministry of Defense. Shattered Crystal is Cohen’s second book. His first, The Decade of Tears, recounts the story of three young Jews in the newly-born State of Israel in the decade following WWII. An English-language North-American edition was published in early 2021 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA. 242 Pages, 15X22.5 cm

October 1994Revolutionen in der Naturwissenschaft
by I. Bernard Cohen, Werner Kutschmann
Wie konnte sich der Ausdruck ›Revolution‹, der ursprünglich immerhin ein Terminus für astronomische Vorgänge, Umläufe oder Umdrehungen von Himmelskörpern, gewesen war, in einen Begriff der politischen Macht- und Herrschaftsgeschichte verwandeln? Und wie kam es dazu, dass dieser gesellschaftspolitische Revolutionsbegriff wiederum auf die Naturwissenschaften und deren Erkenntnisgeschichte angewandt wurde? Ist es überhaupt legitim, den Begriff der politischen Revolution einschließlich all seiner machttheoretischen Konnotationen auf den Siegeszug einer naturwissenschaftlichen Idee, eines erkenntnisleitenden Paradigmas, zu übertragen, wie es uns die theoretische Wissenschaftsgeschichtsschreibung seit Th. S. Kuhn lehrt? Die sind die Fragen, mit denen Cohens Untersuchung über Revolutionen in der Naturwissenschaft anhebt. Cohen verfolgt einen Zeitraum von mehr als vier Jahrhunderten umspannt und nahezu alle wichtigen Bereiche der Naturwissenschaften erfasst – von der Astronomie bis zur Evolutionstheorie, von den Geowissenschaften bis zur Freudschen Psychoanalyse, von der Galileischen Kinematik bis zur Einsteinschen Relativitätstheorie und Atomphysik -, die historische Kariere eines Begriffs, der sich in mehreren Wandlungen und Metamorphosen durch die Naturwissenschafts- und Sozialgeschichte hindurchzieht, um letztlich als der entscheidende Begriff des mit Kuhn vollzogenen sociological turn in der Wissenschaftsgeschichtsschreibung eine neue Auferstehung zu erleben.

Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America
by Tiberiu Dianu
The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

September 2017Freiheit
Zeitgenössische Texte zu einer philosophischen Kontroverse
by Philipp Schink
Wie sieht ein überzeugendes Verständnis der Freiheit von Individuen in Gesellschaft und Politik aus? Welche philosophischen Traditionen helfen bei der Beantwortung dieser Frage? Welcher analytische Zugang ist geboten? Das in den 1990er Jahren wiedererwachte Interesse an einer theoretischen Reflexion der Freiheit hat seither zu einer Reihe von bahnbrechenden Studien geführt, die an einflussreiche Beiträge aus der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts anschließen, wie sie etwa Isaiah Berlin, Hannah Arendt oder Friedrich August von Hayek geliefert haben. Der Band versammelt sowohl diese Klassiker als auch diejenigen Texte, die im Zentrum der aktuellen Debatte stehen: von Charles Taylor, Philip Pettit, Quentin Skinner, Rainer Forst, Gerald Cohen, Nancy Hirschmann u. a. Er bietet so eine umfassende Einführung in eine der lebhaftesten und wichtigsten philosophischen Kontroversen der Gegenwart.

Shattered Crystal: Ein historischer Roman
by Baruch Cohen
Ein spannender historischer Roman über eine Berliner Familie während des Zweiten Weltkriegs, deren Mitglieder sich mit widersprüchlichen Teilen ihrer Identität auseinandersetzen müssen. Witwer Franz Kerner und seine drei erwachsenen Kinder leben ihr Leben als treue deutsche Staatsbürger. Mit der Machtergreifung des Dritten Reiches und dem anschließenden Krieg geben sie in diesen bewegten Zeiten ihr Bestes für ihr geliebtes Land. Karl, der Älteste, tritt in die Luftwaffe ein und wird Pilot. Elsa, das mittlere Kind, arbeitet in einem Regierungsbüro, und Helmut, der jüngste, schließt sich der Infanterie an. Aber Franz birgt ein tiefes Geheimnis, das die Identität der Kerners definiert. Als er endlich das Geheimnis preisgibt, sind ihre Welten tief erschüttert. Der Autor illustriert die inneren Kämpfe der Charaktere vor dem Hintergrund des tobenden Krieges und erzählt anschaulich diese komplizierte Geschichte. Die historischen Aspekte des Romans basieren auf umfangreichen Recherchen und dienen dazu, wichtige globale Ereignisse aus einer intimeren Perspektive zu beleuchten. So werden die Auswirkungen des Krieges auf die gesamte Menschheit veranschaulicht. Baruch (Bobby) Cohen wurde in Rumänien (1927) geboren und wanderte nach früheren erfolglosen Versuchen nach seiner Gründung 1948 nach Israel aus. Der Autor diente in der israelischen Marine und arbeitete später bis zu seiner Pensionierung als stellvertretender Inspektionsdirektor der israelischen Sicherheitskräfte im Büro des State Comptroller. Für seine Aktivitäten zur Unterstützung der rumänischen Juden zwischen 1945 und 1947 wurde Baruch Cohen vom israelischen Verteidigungsministerium mit der Auszeichnung als Staatskrieger ausgezeichnet. Shattered Crystal ist Cohens zweites Buch. Sein erstes, Das Jahrzehnt der Tränen, erzählt die Geschichte von drei jungen Juden im neugeborenen Staat Israel im Jahrzehnt nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.
