Romanticism A German Affair

Romanticism A German Affair
Romanticism: A German Affair By Rüdiger Safranski, Rudiger Sanfranski, Robert E. Goodwin (trans.)
2014 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 0810126532 | PDF | 7 MB
The renowned scholar Rüdiger Safranski's Romanticism: A German Affair both offers an accessible overview of Romanticism and, more critically, traces its lasting influence, for better and for ill, on German culture. Safranski begins with the eighteenthcentury Sturm und Drang movement, which would sow the seeds for Romanticism in Germany. While Romanticism was a broad artistic, literary, and intellectual movement, German thinkers were especially concerned with its strong philosophical-metaphysical and religious dimension. Safranski follows this spirit in its afterlife in the work of Heinrich Heine, Richard Wagner, Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, and through the later artistic upheavals of the twentieth century. He concludes by carefully considering Romanticism's possible influence in the rise of National Socialism and the student revolt of 1968.Romanticism: A German Affair is essential reading for anyone interested in the power of art, culture, and ideas in the life of a nation.

Risikomanagement in Bau- und Immobilienprojekten

Risikomanagement in Bau- und Immobilienprojekten
Risikomanagement in Bau- und Immobilienprojekten: Grundlagen für die Praxis
Deutsch | 2022 | ISBN: 3662651483 | 134 Pages | PDF EPUB | 20 MB
Das Buch erläutert übersichtlich, was sich hinter dem Begriff "Risikomanagement" verbirgt. Es liefert zudem Handlungsempfehlungen und -anleitungen. Bauprojekte werden von unterschiedlichen Risiken begleitet, die sich auf die gesteckten Ziele auswirken können. Um die zu Projektbeginn definierten Ziele am Ende des Projekts auch wirklich zu erreichen, sind regelmäßig Entscheidungen zu treffen. Eine zielführende Entscheidung kann jedoch nur dann mit großer Sicherheit getroffen werden, wenn alle Abhängigkeiten bekannt sind. Sind den Projektbeteiligten diese Abhängigkeiten unbekannt, bestehen Unsicherheiten, die sich aus einem Anteil Ungewissheit (Wagnis) und einem Anteil Risiken zusammensetzen. Die Risiken lassen sich je nach Ausprägung als Gefahren (negative Zielerreichung) oder aber als Chancen (positive Zielabweichung) darstellen. Ein im Projekt etabliertes Risikomanagement hilft, die immanenten Risiken maßgeblich zu minimieren. Es kann die negativen Abweichungen in den Projektprozessen optimieren und einen Mittelweg zwischen Gefahren und Chancen austarieren.

Richard II Manhood, Youth, and Politics 1377-99

Richard II Manhood, Youth, and Politics 1377-99
Richard II: Manhood, Youth, and Politics 1377-99 (Oxford Historical Monographs) by Christopher Fletcher
English | November 15, 2008 | ISBN: 0199546916, 0199595712 | True EPUB | 336 pages | 3.9 MB
Richard II (1377-99) has long suffered from an unusually unmanly reputation. Over the centuries, he has been habitually associated with lavish courtly expenditure, absolutist ideas, Francophile tendencies, and a love of peace, all of which have been linked to the king's physical effeminacy. Even sympathetic accounts have essentially retained this picture, merely dismissing particular facets of it, or representing Richard's reputation as evidence of praiseworthy dissent from accepted norms of masculinity.

English | 2019 | pages: 355 | ISBN: 0198802633 | PDF | 8,8 mb
For some time before his death in July 2015, former colleagues and students of Paul Langford had discussed the possibility of organising a festschrift to celebrate his remarkable contribution to eighteenth-century history. It was planned for 2019 to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the appearance of his seminal A Polite and Commercial People, the opening volume in the New Oxford History of England series, Paul's best-known and most influential publication. He was delighted to hear of these plans and the tragic news of his death only made the contributors more determined to see the project through to completion.

Rescue, Relief, and Resistance The Jewish Labor Committee's Anti-Nazi Operations, 1934-1945
Catherine Collomp, "Rescue, Relief, and Resistance: The Jewish Labor Committee's Anti-Nazi Operations, 1934-1945"
English | ISBN: 0814346197 | 2021 | 364 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Rescue, Relief, and Resistance: The Jewish Labor Committee's Anti-Nazi Operations, 1934-1945 is the English translation of Catherine Collomp's award-winning book on the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC). Formed in New York City in 1934 by the leaders of the Jewish Labor Movement, the JLC came to the forefront of American labor's reaction to Nazism and antisemitism. Situated at the crossroads of several fields of inquiry-Jewish history, immigration and exile studies, American and international labor history, World War II in France and in Poland-the history of the JLC is by nature transnational. It brings to the fore the strength of ties between the Yiddish-speaking Jewish worlds across the globe.
