Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nelly Sachs. The Poetics of Silence and the Limits of Representation examines the poetry of the Nobel Prize-winning German Jewish poet Nelly Sachs. It firstly shifts established patterns of reception by analysing the author's reception in East and West Germany after the war and the role she came to play in the Federal Republic as a representative 'Poet of Reconciliation'. The study then situates Sachs' work within the framework of the debate surrounding the representation of the Holocaust by means of a thorough exposition of the aporia at the heart of Theodor Adorno's writings on post-Holocaust art. It demonstrates by close reading how Sachs' work is itself marked by this aporetic struggle and exposes in particular the aesthetic means by which Sachs renders this aporetic tension legible in her poetry through her use of, for example, prosopopoeia, her recasting of traditional metaphors and her reversal of biblical archetypes. The primary question addressed is whether Sachs' poetry, in spite of the fact that it thematises the impossibility of adequate representation, has representational value, or whether her work is bereft of concrete, representational meaning as a result of the often fragmented nature of her writing. In particular, the author confronts those critics who see in Sachs' work elements of consolation, reconciliation, or redemption in a transcendental realm, in favour of a reading that regards her work as permeated with the concrete events of the Holocaust and irreconcilably opposed to any notion of a religious sense-making and redemptive paradigm.Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Genthiner Strasse 13, 10785 Berlin 208 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The contributors to the present volume examine, from a wide variety of perspectives, the issues of war and peace in the Middle Ages and early modern time, probing the direction of the relevant discourse regarding the legitimacy and justification of military operations. Because man is a deeply aggressive and greedy creature, wars have been waged throughout times. Nevertheless, we can identify many voices in medieval literature, theology, philosophy, and in chronicle literature that questioned the validity and effectiveness of war, while many others argued for the traditional knightly ideals or called for crusades against the infidels. Those heroes who defend a people against an evil threat enjoyed profound respect, but there were also those figures calling for peace and the end of all fighting. As this volume demonstrates, war and peace have fundamentally determined medieval and early modern culture.Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Genthiner Strasse 13, 10785 Berlin 656 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -La présente étude cherche à éclaircir le principe du talion à partir de ses premières attestations dans les droits du Proche-Orient ancien. Elle essaie de démontrer que le talion ne se limite pas à une conception pénale, mais qu'il a existé également sous une forme réparatrice. Cette argumentation repose sur une analyse du formulaire du talion, qui interprète les versets bibliques dans le contexte des modèles cunéiformes, et qui s'étend jusqu'aux témoins de la Méditerranée datant des premiers siècles de notre ère. Le talion ressort ainsi comme un principe de justice qui est à l'origine complet et constructif, et qui ne se laisse pas réduire à une notion purement punitive.Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Genthiner Strasse 13, 10785 Berlin 168 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die aerodynamische Gestaltung von Fahrzeugen wie Automobile und Eisenbahnen, von Bauwerken wie weit gespannte Brücken, Türme oder Hochhäuser, ist eine äußerst vielschichtige Aufgabe. Ihre Auslegung basiert auf ingenieurmäßigen Verfahren, aber ihre Optimierung vorwiegend auf dem Prinzip von Trial & Error. Dabei erweist es sich als nützlich, das anstehende Problem auf möglichst einfache Modellfälle zurückzuführen. Das vorliegende Buch stellt die dazu erforderlichen Grundlagen bereit und beschreibt, wie sie anzuwenden sind. Gegenüber der ersten Auflage wurde das Buch vollkommen überarbeitet und erweitert: um die neuen Windlastnormen, die Seitenwindstabilität von schnellen Zügen, sowie die Wechselwirkung von Aerodynamik und Statik biegeweicher Konstruktionen. Das Kapitel über die numerischen Verfahren (CFD) wurde auf den allerneuesten Stand gebracht.Springer Vieweg in Springer Science + Business Media, Abraham-Lincoln-Straße 46, 65189 Wiesbaden 636 pp. Deutsch.
