The central aim of this interdisciplinary book is to make visible the intentionality behind the ’forgetting’ of European women’s contributions during the period between the two world wars in the context of politics, culture and society. It also seeks to record and analyse women’s agency in the construction and reconstruction of Europe and its nation states after the First World War, and thus to articulate ways in which the writing of women’s history necessarily entails the rewriting of everyone’s history. By showing that the erasure of women’s texts fr

Physicists regularly invoke universal laws, like those of motion and electromagnetism, to explain events. Biological and medical scientists have no such laws. How then do they acquire a reliable body of knowledge about biological organisms and human disease? One way is by repeatedly returning to, manipulating, observing, interpreting, and reinterpreting certain subjects--such as flies, mice, worms, or microbes--or, as they are known in biology, "model systems." Across the natural and human sciences, other disciplinary fields have developed canonical examples that have played a

Noted for his excellent structural explanation of the Third Reich’s political culture in The Hitler Myth, eminent historian Ian Kershaw shifts approach in this innovative biography of the Nazi tyrant. The first of a two-volume study, Hubris is far from a simple rehearsal of "great man" history, impressively exploring the historical forces that transformed a shiftless Austrian daydreamer into a dictator with immense power. In his forthright introduction, Kershaw acknowledges that, as a committed social historian, he did not include biography in his original intellectual plans. However, hi

The newest immensely original undertaking from the historian who gave us the defining two-volume portrait of Hitler, Fateful Choices puts Ian Kershaw’s analytical and storytelling gifts on dazzling display. From May 1940 to December 1941, the leaders of the world’s six major powers made a series of related decisions that determined the final outcome of World War II and shaped the course of human destiny. As the author examines the connected stories of these profound choices, he restores a sense of drama and contingency to this pivotal moment, producing one of the freshest, most important b
