Sommario/riassunto

Benny Morris' The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem was



published in 1988. Its startling revelations about how and why 700,000 Palestinians left their homes and became refugees during the Arab-Israeli war in 1948 undermined traditional interpretations as to whether they left voluntarily or were expelled as part of a systematic plan. This book represents a revised edition of the earlier work, compiled on the basis of newly-opened Israeli military archives. While the focus remains the 1948 war and the analysis of the Palestinian exodus, the new material contains more information about what happened in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa, and how events there led to the collapse of Palestinian urban society. It also sheds light on the battles and atrocities that resulted in the disintegration of  rural communities. The story is a harrowing one. The refugees now number four million and their existence remains a major obstacle to peace.

Sommario/riassunto

So sehr Goethe seine Theorie von der dynamischen Einheit der verschiedenen Naturformen als wesentlichen Beitrag zum naturwissenschaftlichen Diskurs seiner Zeit verstand, so wenig Wertschätzung erfuhr er in einer zunehmend auf physikalische und mathematische Methoden setzenden scientific community. Goethes zentraler Gedanke, dass das Gemeinsame der unterschiedlichen Naturgestalten nicht in abstrakten Allgemeinbegriffen zu fassen sei, sondern sich in der Übersicht über die vielgestaltigen Phänomene anschaulich zeige, fand dagegen früh Aufnahme in die Humanwissenschaften. Wie Goethe bei seiner Naturbetrachtung standen auch die Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften nach 1800 vor der Herausforderung, eine als zunehmend unübersichtlich empfundene Lebenswelt beschreibend zu ordnen, ohne dabei die lebendigen Entwicklungen in abstrakten Begriffen stillzustellen. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes widmen sich der langen Reihe namhafter Autoren, von Wilhelm von Humboldt über Droysen, Dilthey, Simmel und Wittgenstein bis zu Adorno und Jünger, die sich programmatisch auf Goethes Morphologie bezogen haben. Der Band deckt eine bislang noch wenig beleuchtete ideengeschichtliche Kontinuität auf und liefert damit zugleich einen systematischen Beitrag zur aktuellen Diskussion um eine Theorie der Unbegrifflichkeit.

Sommario/riassunto

Catalysts are increasingly used by chemists engaged in fine chemical synthesis within both industry and academia. Today, there exists a huge choice of high-tech catalysts, which add enormously to the repertoire of synthetic possibilities. However, catalysts are occasionally capricious, sometimes difficult to use and almost always require both skill and experience in order to achieve optimal results. This series aims to be a practical help for advanced undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, as well as experienced chemists in industry and academia working in organic and organometalli
