The illustrations in this book are wonderful. A true artist. Very cleverly hides the elves in each page and its much fun for a 3 year old to find them and the mice and birds too.

I greatly appreciate this book by Clifford Smith as I have found, discovered, and verified many, many of my ALDINGER family ancestors who immigrated from Fellbach, Germany. Since receiving this book in 1995, I have lived in Fellbach for five months and have personally met many ALDINERS in Fellbach. Thanks again!!

I can`t read this book beacause I`m a chinse student.I wonder if someone woudle help me .

Mordecai Kurz offers one of the most important contributions to recent macroeconomics. The book provides a genuine research highway towards the building up of a theory of expectations with both rigour and practical usefulness. The idea or "paradigm" of Rational Beliefs is present in all the papers of this volume. They combine rigourous modelling with insigthful conclusions and provocative questions that look more ambitious than the Rational Expectations research program.This book highlights how important are agents' beliefs and their reactions to observed contradictions between observed values and ex-ante estimates of observable economic variables. With no doubt, this volume is an important tool for academic and non-academic economists. It provides sophisticatesd modelling with insightful interrogants and conclusions that invite to re-think the usefulness of mainstream macroeconomic theory. Its reading is a "must" for every economist or social scientist focused on the analysis of the limitations of human knowledge for decision-making in dynamic and changing environments.

This well-researched and engaging biography broadens the awarenesses of psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, historians of Europe in the past century and of Jewish history, and feminists. Knowing Anna O.'s enormously influential life trajectory sends a message of which we need continual reminders: someone can suffer from severe mental illness in one phase of his/her life and emerge from the experience strong and heroic, making powerfully contructive contributions.
And read Gail Hornstein's "To Redeem One Person Is to Redeem the World:The Life of Frieda Fromm-Reichmann" - they complement each other beautifully.

Colonel-General Johannes Blaskowitz was a splendid soldier, a patriot, and a devout Christian. He was, unfortunately, in the employ of criminals. His protests of the atrocities in occupied Poland earned Hitler's enduring hatred, but the old soldier's professional skills were called upon repeatedly nonetheless. He never failed to perform superbly and humanely in the most adverse circumstances, for example saving the bulk of German forces in the retreat from southern France. His reward was his death in Allied confinement, possibly at the hands of the S.S.
His story is well told in this thoroughly researched and admirably written account, with photos, source notes, bibliography, and index. The maps are rudimentary but adequate for the casual reader.

(The "score" rating is an ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books.)

ENLIGHTENED NATIONALISM is a profound and lucid account of how nationalism arose in Germany by tracing its roots to Prussia in the early 1800's after Prussia's defeat by Napoleon. The author's research is based on his groundbreaking analysis of previously unavailable documents. He carefully describes the interplay between King Frederick III, his aristocratic advisers -- some liberal, others staunchly reactionary -- the traditionalist landed nobility, and the growingly restive citizenry in the struggles over whether and how to grant Prussia a constitution. The book's well-documented insights help us understand how Prussia later came to dominate Germany.

Dr. Thomas Nevin is a great guy. Jim an I (my roommate) are students, and during the off hours, buds with the good professor. Tonight we went down to the Cleveland Cinematheque an saw the flick "Murderous Maids with the professor an another good man Mike Schneeberger(?). The movie wasn't bad, but I'll tell you one thing, from what I hear this book is ten times better.

Nevin's writing is like butter, tasty, smooth, and easily absorbed; yet intriguing and sophisticated, leaving you wanting more. But alas, when the book is finished, as when the bread gone, a great loss comes across the consumer; a loss that can only be cured with another Nevin book or perhaps, more butter.

A great read, and a must for a history major like I.

This is the most charming book I have come across in years, and I can't wait to read the original in German (available now on amazon.de for about $30.) The combination of master storytelling by Dische and Enzensberger and Sowa's richly surreal art is mesmerizing. The story is light, simple, and very rewarding. You will return again and again to this story of a rabbit traveling through modern Germany. It brings back memories of my time in both East and West Germany, around the wall. When I read it, I smile and feel better.
