European historyOctober 2013Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France
by Michael R. Lynn
Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

Roman
by Gabriela Avigur-Rotem, Anne Birkenhauer
Nach 25 Jahren kehrt Loja Kaplan nach Israel zurück. Sie gehört zur ersten Generation von Kindern, die als Israelis groß geworden sind. Nach dem Tod ihres Vaters hat sie mit Anfang Zwanzig das Land verlassen, alle Brücken zu ihrer Vergangenheit abgebrochen. Nun ist Davidi, ein enger Freund ihres Vaters, gestorben und hat sie als Erbin bestimmt. In seinem alten Haus im Orangenhain wird die Welt, werden die Menschen ihrer Kindheitsjahre wieder gegenwärtig, Einst und Jetzt schwingen ineinander. Nach und nach entdeckt sie, daß Davidi ihr ein Geheimnis hinterlassen hat: die Geschichte, die ihn und Lojas Vater tragisch verbindet und die sie, die beiden begeisterten Archäologen, immer bemüht waren, im dunkeln zu lassen. Auf der Suche nach ihrer bislang totgeglaubten Mutter fährt Loja schließlich nach Terezín, dem einstigen Ghetto Theresienstadt. Gabriela Avigur-Rotem gelingt es mit außergewöhnlicher sprachlicher Kraft, das Israel der 1950er und 1990er Jahre zu evozieren. Mit der Geschichte ihrer eigenwilligen Protagonistin Loja erzählt sie auch die einer ganzen Generation, der ersten Generation von Israelis, die erst spät gewahr wird, wie vielschichtig ihr Erbe ist.

Facing Off
by Graciela Vaserman Samuels
Facing Off is a kaleidoscope of departures. In a century-long journey, men and women escape from a Europe in flames to the often convulsive but welcoming shores of Argentina. As Gabriela unveils to her daughters the land of her birth, the country becomes a map of thumbtack flags of flesh and blood. Readers see a revolving door of political parades and moments through the innocent eyes of a child, a rebel, and a mature woman. Facing Off is a catharsis at each milestone of motherhood, reflected in the responses of Gabriela’s daughters. From Buenos Aires to Jerusalem to Paris and back to Jerusalem, fragile threads link family and tradition. A living willpower guides readers across the desert between generations. Facing Off was first published in Spanish as Dar la Cara by Metafora (Buenos Aires, 2010) and selected for display on the Argentinean stand at the 2010 Frankfurt Book Fair. Graciela Vaserman Samuels, born in Argentina, emigrated to Israel and studied political science at the Hebrew University. She holds a PhD in literature from Temple University and served as founding director of Hadassah Medical Relief Association. As a UNESCO official, she spends her time between Paris and Jerusalem. The author and her husband, Shimon Samuels, have three daughters and four grandsons. Vaserman Samuels also wrote the novel Decoding Colors. An English- Lanugage E-book edition was published in late 2014, by SWS Inc., C.A. 242 Pages, 15X22.5 CM

Spanische und spanisch-amerikanische Gedichte 1900–1950
by Erwin Walter Palm, Erwin Walter Palm, Hilde Domin
Zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen stand die spanische Dichtung noch einmal in der vordersten Reihe der europäischen Lyrik. Deren wichtigste Vertreter, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Antonio Machado, Rafael Alberti, Jorge Guillén und Federico García Lorca, gehören inzwischen zu den Klassikern des 20.Jahrhunderts. Die Proben lateinamerikanischer Lyrik von Gabriela Mistral, César Vallejo, Jorge Carrera Andrade und anderen vermitteln ein Bild von der literarischen Eigenständigkeit eines Kontintents, der sich bewußt von europäischen Modellen löste, um zu sich selbst zu finden.

Die wortkargen Fischer, der hochbegabte junge Tänzer und seine wilde, kleine Schwester, der Tierarzt und die greise Fotografin, die Intellektuelle aus der Großstadt – so unterschiedlich sie alle sind, sind sie doch auf eine besondere Art miteinander verbunden. Aber welche Rolle spielt der unheimliche Fremde mit seinem Raben? Als der Sommer sich langsam verabschiedet und die Insel beginnt, sich auf den Herbst vorzubereiten, müssen Insulaner und Neuankömmlinge sich plötzlich gemeinsam beweisen – in einem Sturm, bei dem es um alles geht.Ein Roman über eine Insel im Spätsommerlicht, über Menschen zwischen Aufbruch und Abschied.
