O.D. Skelton
When O.D. Skelton became Prime Minister Mackenzie King's foreign policy advisor in 1923, he was already a celebrated critic of the status quo in international and domestic affairs, a loyal Liberal Party man, and a fervent nationalist who believed Canada needed to steer a path independent of Britain. Two years later, he became the permanent head of Canada's Department of External Affairs. Between then and his tragic death in 1941, Skelton created Canada's professional diplomatic service, staffing it with sharp young men such as Lester B. Pearson. Skelton's importance in Ottawa was unparalleled, and his role in shaping Canada's world was formative and crucial. Using research from archives across Canada and around the world, Norman Hillmer presents Skelton not only as a towering intellectual force but as deeply human - deceptively quiet, complex, and driven by an outsize ambition for himself and for his country. O.D. Skelton is the definitive biography of the most influential public servant in Canada's history, written by one of the most prolific Canadian historians of international affairs and the editor of Skelton's voluminous papers.

Die Affaere Hillmer- Ein Okulist Aus Berlin in Petersburg 1751
Im Dezember 1751 wurde der Okulist Josef Hillmer wegen Scharlatanerie aus Russland ausgewiesen. Friedrich II. hatte ihn 1748 zum Professor am Collegium Medico-chirurgicum in Berlin ernannt. Der Direktor der obersten Medizinalbehörde Russlands, Hermann Kaau Boerhaave, musste sich wegen der Ausweisung des Okulisten gegen Vorwürfe aus Petersburger Hofkreisen wehren. Hillmer war vom russischen Thronfolger, dem späteren Zaren Peter III., protegiert worden. Kaau Boerhaave liess alle medizinischen Dokumente über Hillmer in Russland in Buchform auf 178 Seiten drucken. Dies ist das erste Buch mit russischer ophthalmologischer Fachsprache. Es erschien fünf Jahre vor dem ersten russischen medizinischen Lehrbuch und 47 Jahre vor dem ersten russischen Buch der Augenheilkunde. Die Affäre Hillmer hat neben medizinischen geheimdiplomatische Aspekte im Vorfeld des Siebenjährigen Krieges.

Technology Acceptance in Mechatronics
Ute Hillmer investigates technology acceptance behavior in the mechatronics industry in Germany and develops a multi-disciplinary understanding, which includes psychology, sociology and business science. It is shown that individuals accept new technologies more easily, if the technology replicates their individual social values and if the implementation process considers the prime social values that can typically be found in their social networks.

Kausalanalyse makroökonomischer Zusammenhänge mit latenten Variablen
Das Buch vermittelt einen umfassenden Überblick über die verschiedenen empirischen Ansätze zur Erfassung kausaler Wirkungszusammenhänge in der Makroökonomie. Dabei werden Lösungen für die zwei grundsätzlichen Schwierigkeiten ökonometrischer Analysen, dem Operationalisierungs- und dem dynamischen Spezifikationsproblem, erarbeitet. Durch die Kombination der drei Analysetraditionen Ökonometrie, Psychometrie und Zeitreihenanalyse wird ein neuartiges Verfahren vorgeschlagen, mit dem Wirkungsbeziehungen zwischen theoretischen Variablenkonstrukten, sogenannten latenten Variablen, unverzerrt geschätzt und getestet werden können. Zudem erlaubt dieser Ansatz die konfirmatorische Untersuchung abstrakter Modellvorstellungen durch die explizite Modellierung des hypothetischen Generierungsmechanismus beobachtbarer Phänomene. In einem ausführlichen empirischen Teil wird das vorgeschlagene Verfahren auf zahlreiche geldtheoretisch und -politisch relevante Problemstellungen angewandt, und daran die Eignung der Methodik zur Analyse kausaler Wirkungsbeziehungen demonstriert. Aufgrund seines allgemeinen, methodisch orientierten Ansatzes ist das Buch für sämtliche auf dem Gebiet der empirischen Wirtschaftsforschung tätigen Wissenschaftler und Praktiker von besonderer Relevanz. Die modernen Entwicklungen der psychometrischen Kausalanalyse und der Zeitreihenanalyse werden einführend und lehrtextartig dargestellt und in den traditionellen ökonometrischen Analyserahmen integriert.

Hill 112: The Key to defeating Hitler in Normandy
‘He who holds Hill 112 holds Normandy’ seemed an unlikely maxim when the hill is viewed from a distance, but on reaching its plateau, the vistas unfold in every direction across a huge swath of Normandy. For the Germans it was their vital defensive ground, but for the British it was an essential steppingstone en route to the River Orne and access to the open country south to Falaise.The Hitlerjugend SS Panzer Division lost Hill 112 to 4th Armoured Brigade when the Scots captured the Tourmauville Bridge intact, but the essence of Hill 112’s tactical problem soon became clear. It was impossible for armour to survive on its broad plateau, while the infantry could only hold the skeletal orchards and woods at the cost of crushing casualties. With II SS Panzer Corps preparing to attack the British, the toe hold was given up and 11th Armoured Division was left holding a bridgehead across the River Odon.Ten days later, 43rd Wessex Division was ordered to resume the advance to the Orne with Hill 112 its first objective. As the west countrymen and tanks rose to advance, they met withering fire from the stronghold that Hill 112 had become. The scene was set for one of the grimmest battles of the campaign.For six weeks from the end of June into August, when the Allied advances finally gained momentum, Hill 112 was far too important to let the opposition hold and exploit it. Consequently, it was regularly shelled and mortared, and shrouded with smoke and dust, while soldiers of both sides clung to their respective rims of the plateau.By the end, Hill 112 had developed a reputation as evil as that of any spot on the First World War’s Western Front.

Monty's Normandy Hammer
The first of two volumes, Monty’s Normandy Hammer traces the major operations fought by Lieutenant-General Guy Simonds’ II Canadian Corps in July 1944. Thrust into the epicentre of the action on the eastern flank, II Canadian Corps planned and executed two major operations to expand Second British Army’s elbow room in the bridgehead even while holding the panzer divisions of the vaunted I SS Panzer Corps in place near Caen. Operation ATLANTIC, tied in with Operation GOODWOOD, completed the clearance of Caen and established bridgeheads over the Orne. Operation SPRING was a great holding attack to support Montgomery’s main effort of the entire campaign, the breakout launched by the Americans codenamed COBRA. Rickard goes into exceptional detail and paints a fresh picture of Simonds as a corps commander and his role in achieving Montgomery’s army group strategy. Monty’ Normandy Hammer is an insightful study of command at various levels. The follow-on volume will trace the fortunes of II Canadian Corps in the climatic battles in August.
