Story1
Fifty years after it was bombed to rubble, Berlin is once again a city in which Jews gather for the Passover Seder. Paris and Antwerp have recently emerged as important new centers of Jewish culture. Small but proud Jewish communities are revitalizing the ancient centers of Budapest, Prague, and Amsterdam. These brave, determined Jewish men and women have chosen to settle - or remain - in Europe after the devastation of the Holocaust, but they have paid a price.

We have released the genie from the bottle: climate change is coming, and there's no stopping it. The question, according to Matthew Kahn, is not how were going to avoid a hotter future but how were going to adapt to it. In Climatopolis, Kahn, one of the worlds foremost experts on the economics of the environment, argues that cities and regions will adapt to rising temperatures over time, slowly transforming our everyday lives.

Story0
Jews and the Military is the first comprehensive and comparative look at Jews' involvement in the military and their attitudes toward war from the 1600s until the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. Derek Penslar shows that although Jews have often been described as people who shun the army, in fact they have frequently been willing, even eager, to do military service, and only a minuscule minority have been pacifists.

In 1851 Queen Victoria opened the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park. It was the high water mark of English achievement - the nation at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution, at the heart of a burgeoning Empire, with a queen who would reign for another 50 years. In the following 150 years, the fate of the nation has faced turmoil and transformation. But it is too simple to talk of decline? Has Great Britain sacrificed its identity in order to stay part of the present world order?

Derided by the Right as dangerous and by the Left as spineless, Barack Obama puzzles observers. In Reading Obama, James T. Kloppenberg reveals the sources of Obama's ideas and explains why his principled aversion to absolutes does not fit contemporary partisan categories. Obama's commitments to deliberation and experimentation derive from sustained engagement with American democratic thought.

The incredible story of a flood of near-Biblical proportions - its destruction, its heroes and victims, and how it shaped America’s natural-disaster policies for the next century. The storm began March 23, 1913, with a series of tornadoes that killed 150 people and injured 400. Then the freezing rains started and the flooding began. It was the nation’s most widespread flood ever - more than 700 people died, hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed, and millions were left homeless.

Nel 1936, nel pieno della Grande depressione, il San Francisco News commissiona a John Steinbeck una serie di articoli sulla condizione dei braccianti agricoli immigrati in California. Sono americani del Midwest, colpiti dalla crisi e costretti a fuggire dalle tempeste di sabbia della Dust Bowl. Reduce dal grande successo di "Pian della Tortilla", Steinbeck sale su un furgone da panettiere e inizia il suo viaggio fra le vallate della California.

Story0
La storia dell'Italia repubblicana comincia nel caos. La fine della guerra ha lasciato dietro di sé un paese logoro e diviso, ma soprattutto ha fatto emergere le fratture di lungo periodo che il fascismo aveva oscurato a colpi di propaganda e di retorica nazionalista. Nel 1945 il paese è costretto a fare i conti con le profonde differenze che lo attraversano da nord a sud. C'è squilibrio economico, infrastrutturale e demografico, ma anche divergenza sul piano delle reazioni alla fine del conflitto: la guerra non è stata vissuta da tutti allo stesso modo.

Otto Adolf Eichmann, figlio di Karl Adolf e di Maria Schefferling, catturato in un sobborgo di Buenos Aires la sera dell'11 maggio 1960, trasportato in Israele nove giorni dopo e tradotto dinanzi al Tribunale distrettuale di Gerusalemme l'11 aprile 1961, doveva rispondere di 15 imputazioni. Aveva commesso, in concorso con altri, crimini contro il popolo ebraico e numerosi crimini di guerra sotto il regime nazista. L'autrice assiste al dibattimento in aula e negli articoli scritti per il "New Yorker", sviscera i problemi morali, politici e giuridici che stanno dietro il caso Eichmann.

Story0
Apparso per la prima volta nel 1997 sulle pagine del "New Yorker", questo impetuoso, lucidissimo saggio di Cynthia Ozick strappa il velo di dissimulazione e retorica che negli anni ha ovattato e mistificato la limpida voce di Anne Frank e del suo Diario. Troppo spesso e troppo a lungo oggetto di interpretazioni semplificate e fuorvianti, di appropriazioni indebite, tradimenti e comode "santificazioni", il Diario è servito da lasciapassare per un'amnesia collettiva - storica e culturale - sulle cause e le circostanze della morte della sua autrice e di milioni di altre vittime dell'Olocausto.

Una storia vera, simile a un romanzo di avventure: l'incredibile vicenda del commerciante padovano Giorgio Perlasca (1910-1992) che, nell'inverno del 1944, a Budapest, riuscì a salvare dallo sterminio migliaia di ebrei, spacciandosi per il console spagnolo. Era stato un fascista entusiasta e aveva combattuto in Spagna come volontario per Franco. L'8 settembre 1943 lo trovò lontano da casa, ricercato dalle SS. Avrebbe potuto mettersi in salvo, decise di rischiare la vita.

Le due guerre balcaniche del 1912-1913 sono comunemente considerate i prodromi della prima guerra mondiale. Bulgaria, Serbia, Grecia e Montenegro, coalizzate, affrontarono e vinsero nel 1912 l'impero ottomano in Tracia, in Macedonia, negli attuali Kosovo e Albania; i contrasti nella spartizione delle terre macedoni accesero nel 1913 un secondo conflitto, questa volta tra la Bulgaria e i suoi ex alleati. L'intera crisi fu accompagnata dal braccio di ferro diplomatico fra l'Austria-Ungheria e la Russia imperiale, moltiplicando le rivalità fra le grandi potenze.

Questa solida sintesi della Grande Guerra è frutto del lavoro di due storici diversi ma affini: l'uno, Rochat, esperto della dimensione prettamente militare; l'altro, Isnenghi, versato nella storia della cultura e degli intellettuali. Il volume intreccia così felicemente due filoni di studio per raccontare vicende politiche e culturali ma anche operazioni militari, ideologie e sogni ma anche cifre e fatti: il racconto stringente di come la guerra fu voluta e non voluta, condotta e contestata, maledetta e ricordata, di quale ruolo vi giocarono le forze politiche.

Una strada, o meglio una rete di strade, un fascio di percorsi terrestri e marittimi hanno spostato nel corso dei secoli uomini, merci e conoscenze dall'estremità orientale dell'Asia sino al Mediterraneo e all'Europa. Romantica e recente, l'espressione "via della seta" restituisce il senso di un mondo vasto, attraversato fin dai tempi antichi da guerre e conflitti ma animato anche dal fervore di scambi commerciali, culturali e politici. Fra montagne e altipiani per questo cammino sono transitati spezie, animali, ceramiche, cobalto, carta, e naturalmente la seta.

The destruction of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-16 was the greatest atrocity of World War I. Around one million Armenians were killed, and the survivors were scattered across the world. Although it is now a century old, the issue of what most of the world calls the Armenian Genocide of 1915 is still a live and divisive issue that mobilizes Armenians across the world, shapes the identity and politics of modern Turkey, and has consumed the attention of U.S. politicians for years.
