Age of Fear – The Cold War and Its Influence on Czechoslovakia, 1945–1968
Czechoslovakia played an important role within the Soviet bloc, yet its history remains under-researched. This monograph blends historical analysis of the superpowers foreign policies with an assessment of their impact on Czechoslovakia and its position within the Soviet bloc. The book thereby places Czechoslovakia on the map of Cold War history, i.e. the era of mutually assured destruction that lasted almost half a century. It provides a lucid introduction to some milestones in international Cold War history in their relation to Czecho-Slovak history. The books novel contribution is to explain Czechoslovakias domestic situation during the Cold War from the outside. Drawing on extensive source materials of Slovak, Czech, American, and Russian provenance, it provides a more comprehensive understanding of post-war Czecho-Slovak history while also contributing to general knowledge about the nature and impact of the Cold War.

Claudius
Claudius became emperor after the assassination of Caligula, and was deified by his successor Nero in AD 54. Opinions of him have varied greatly over succeeding centuries, but he has mostly been caricatured as a reluctant emperor, hampered by a speech impediment, who preferred reading to ruling.Barbara Levick's authoritative study reassesses the reign of Claudius, examining his political objectives and activities within the constitutional, political, social and economic development of Rome. Out of Levick's critical scrutiny of the literary, archaeological and epigraphic sources emerges a different Claudius - an intelligent politician, ruthlessly determined to secure his position as ruler.Now updated to take account of recent scholarship, Claudius remains essential reading for students and historians of the early Roman Empire.

Claudius Claudianus. L'epitalamio per Palladio e Celerina
L'autrice presenta «c.m.» 25 come controparte di c.10 più legato alla mitologia, anche se meno conosciuto, ma non per questo di minore qualità. L'analisi del carme rivela una sostanziale differenza di elementi e di approccio al carattere panegirico. Rispetto a c.10 l'autore gode qui di maggior libertà poetica nell'affrontare il tema nuziale.

Milan Rastislav Štefánik and Those Who Followed Him
This book presents seven diplomats, seven Slovaks. Milan Rastislav Štefánik, Štefan Osuský, Vladimír S. Hurban, Vladimír M. Palic, Juraj Slávik, Ivan Krno and Ján Papánek. They were also authors, poets, soldiers, politicians, and international lawyers. They represent a selective and subjective sample of Czecho-Slovak diplomats in the fi rst half of the 20th century. The book is focused not only on them as men, but on their stories as well. Their chronicles provide insight into the era, relationships and situations which shaped their actions. These seven lives were linked by common characteristics such as strong national awareness, the fi ght for democracy and Czecho- Slovak statehood, as well as disgust with Nazi and Communist totalitarianism, and firm Lutheran roots. Modern Slovak history, whether viewed internally or in a Central-European or pan-European contexts, underwent dynamic transformation at the beginning of the 20th century.The entire world began to change and Slovaks were no exception. It is only natural for every nation or state to seek the roots of its national identity. As this identity is embodied by the people and personalities who created it, we perceive the past through their lives. It is a privilege that as a small European nation, Slovaks can say that their dignitaries have succeeded worldwide. It is a great honor that their work can be seen in the Treaty of Trianon, the Declaration of the United Nations, the UN Charter, and everywhere where the voice of freedom and democracy was rising.

Telling Queen Michal's Story
This book, an anthology of previously published writing about Michal together with some new and original essays, is something of an experiment. Its purpose is to provide reders with raw materials for developing their own reading of the Michal story. It does not offer a unified portrait of this biblical character, but rather invites readers to form their own assessment interactively with these readings of the Michal story. At the same time, this book presents some systematic guidance for coping with these divergent interpretations of the complex and tantalizing figure of Michal.

Nazi Germany and the Role of the US in the Fate of Czechoslovak Monetary Gold
This book provides a detailed account of the Czechoslovak-American dispute that arose over monetary gold which was forcibly seized by Nazi Germany in the 1930s. After the Second World War, the Czechoslovak gold was found by the American armed forces in the salt mines in Merkers, Germany. Over the next 37 years, it became a part of complicated Czechoslovak-American relations, international economic trade, and political-ideological disputes and conflicts. Only in February 1982, after extensive diplomatic discussions, was a sufficient portion of the gold returned to the Czechoslovak State Bank in Prague. This book maps the story of this gold, how it was seized, blocked and finally, returned. Tracing the path of the monetary gold from its seizure by Nazi Germany in the 1930s to the last decade of the Cold War, the author outlines the main diplomatic steps taken to resolve the dispute, which framed the shape of bilateral relations between Communist Czechoslovakia and the USA.

Strategien zur Abfallenergieverwertung
Das Buch nimmt Bezug auf aktuell in der Diskussion befindliche Probleme, wie die Abfall- und Abfallenergieproblematik, eine zukunftsfähige Gestaltung von Energietechnik und Energiewirtschaft und die Einordnung in allgemeine Entwicklungsleitlinien wie sustainable developement. Durch die Orientierung am Entropiegesetz, das für unbelebte, belebte und soziale Systeme Schlussfolgerungen erlaubt, lässt sich eine naturwissenschaftlich begründbare Leitlinie formulieren, die von der Arbeitsgruppe als Entropiewirtschaft bezeichnet wird. Mit ihrer Hilfe wird eine allgemein gültige Darstellung gegeben, die weitgehend unabhängig von tagespolitischen Diskussionen und ideologischen Vorurteilen ist. Das Buch analysiert aus dieser Sicht Fakten und Sachverhalte und leitet so Bewertungs-, Entwicklungsstrategien und Leitlinien für Teilbereiche ab und liefert Handlungsempfehlungen, ohne die jeweils außerdem notwendige Lösung spezieller Probleme vorweg nehmen zu wollen. Deshalb wird die strategische Orientierung im Titel ausdrücklich hervorgehoben.
