Wer bei Emanzipation ausschließlich an die Frauenbewegung denkt, liegt falsch. Schließlich stammt das Wort bereits aus dem alten Rom. Damals bezeichnete es noch die Entlassung eines Sklaven aus dem Frondienst. Und gründete Kants Aufruf, sich aus der "selbstverschuldeten Unmündigkeit" zu befreien, nicht auch auf einem emanzipatorischen Prinzip? Emanzipation betrifft alle, die den Mut haben, sich ihres eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen. Woher sie kam, was sie heute bedeutet und was jeder bzw. jede für sie tun kann, erklärt die Journalistin und Bloggerin Katrin Rönicke.

"Ben Shepherd ... uses Austro-Hungarian Army records to consider how the personal experiences of many Austrian officers during the Great War played a role in brutalizing their behavior in Yugoslavia. A comparison of Wehrmacht counter-insurgency divisions allows Shepherd to analyze how a range of midlevel commanders and their units conducted themselves in different parts of Yugoslavia, and why"--Jacket.

The first full-length treatment of Mussolini's campaign against Yugoslavia reveals a brief but tragic chapter in Balkan history replete with ethnic cleansing and atrocities that set the stage for the violence in the 1990s.

Daniel Dunglas Home (1833-1886) was a charismatic medium whose seances were attended by European royalty and eminent Victorians like Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Thrown out by his aunt because of the paranormal events which plagued him since childhood, Home became a 'professional house guest' and medium at the age of 17. During seances he purportedly levitated, handled hot coals and channelled the voices of the dead. This volume, first published in 1877, is an evocative examination of spiritualism which explores the history of the practice via the Greeks, the Romans, and Joan of Arc. Simultaneously attacking fraudulent mediums while celebrating 'true' spiritualist practitioners, this fascinating work details both the criticism and support received by Home and features reproductions of numerous fan letters. Although colourful and impassioned, Home's polemic is written in an amiable style and provides fascinating insights into the life and work of the self-proclaimed 'Grandfather of English Spiritualism'.
