Only someone with such a brilliant, tricky, inexhaustible mind could get away with Wittgenstein&#8217;s Nephew.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times&#8220;In its obsessive, elegant rhythms and narrative eloquence, [Wittgenstein&#8217;s Nephew] resembles a tragic aria by Richard Strauss. . . . A memento mori that approaches genius.&#8221; &#8212;Wall Street Journal&#8220;Oddly moving and funny. . . . A meditative fugue for mad, brilliant voices on the themes of death, death-in-life and the artist&#8217;s and thinker&#8217;s role in society.&#8221;&#8212;Chicago Tribune&#8220;Bernhard is a writer of great originality and fascination.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Review of Books&#8220;In the annals of literature, Thomas Bernhard will stand as Austria&#8217;s postwar genius.&#8221;&#8212;The Washington Times&#8220;Thomas Bernhard is one of the masters of contemporary European fiction. . . . After Kafka and Canetti&#8217;s, his sensibility is one of the most acute, the most capable of exemplary images and gestures, in modern literature.&#8221;&#8212;George Steiner&#8220;It is high time that we keep Bernhard firmly in our mind, as European readers have been doing for many years now.&#8221;&#8212;Christian Science Monitor

"Winkelman's book offers his readers one of the most thought-provoking and well-documented studies of the recent developments in cognitive science and their rich implications for how we read and mentally respond to John Donne's highly dramatic and unprecedented early modern poetry. As the study clearly demonstrates, the reader's cognitive response is a vital element in the poem's expression of an inner reality." - Helen B. Brooks, Department of English, Stanford University

“Tennyson and the Fabrication of Englishness is, on the whole, scrupulously careful to define and, by and large, to fulfill its own mission. … of potentially significant use for students and other readers seeking an overview of major topics that unites both major and minor poems.” (Cornelia Pearsall, Victorian Studies, Vol. 57 (3), 2015)"...Sherwood's book contributes to a revival of interest in the relationship between poetry and nation that has taken place in the last couple of decades and that has generated a rich body of work... Sherwood raises some important questions about the Tennysonian vocabulary... her study is alive to the fragility of Englishness, to the possibility that it is a 'fantasy or falsehood' and to the sense that its individual threads are as likely to pull against one another as they are to be of a piece." Anna Barton, Tennyson Reseach Bulletin

Discovering the Cause and the Cure for America's Health Care Crisis

Sind im Fall von psychischen Problemen immer nur Fachleute heranzuziehen?
Der Autor, selber Psychotherapeut aus der tiefenpsychologischen Schule
von Alfred Adler, bestreitet deren Kompetenz keineswegs, tritt aber in
&uuml;berzeugender Weise daf&uuml;r ein, dass oftmals eine Erste Hilfe n&ouml;tig und
auch m&ouml;glich ist - wenn dazu dem Notleidenden gegen&uuml;ber eine angemessene,
n&auml;mlich solidarische Haltung eingenommen wird, jemand sich hilfsbereit
als sein N&auml;chster erweist. Psychologischem Dilettantismus wird damit keineswegs
das Wort geredet, wohl aber zu t&auml;tiger Mitmenschlichkeit auf diesem heiklen
Gebiet angeregt und eingeladen. Als eine Erste Hilfe betrachtet Brandl
- ganz im Sinne Adlers - aber auch erzieherische Aktivit&auml;ten, einen partnerschaftlichen
Umgang mit Heranwachsenden. Der Leser erh&auml;lt hier wertvolle Anregungen
psychohygienischer Art, die sowohl der Vorbeugung von Seelenleiden dienen
als auch ein Angebot zur Selbsthilfe sein k&ouml;nnen: sofern ein Mensch in
Bedr&auml;ngnis seiner bisherigen Isolation entsagt. Ein hervorragendes Buch
f&uuml;r Mitmenschen, dessen inhaltliches Gewicht in einem umgekehrten Verh&auml;ltnis
zu seinem Umfang steht.

"Jannetta's narrative is genuinely engaging, and it is enriched by her  use of primary sources in multiple languages . . . She delves deeply into decidedly local, personal interactions while keeping in view a broader, global historical context. This is quite an achievement."

'This book is a highly interesting historical, economic, and conceptual analysis of the automobile industry from a 'paradigmatic' perspective. It explains in great detail how scale and structure of car companies worldwide are determined by economies of scale and a certain extent of vertical integration. It also shows the limits of the present 'Budd' paradigm and provides an outlook to alternatives. This book is highly recommended for those interested in cars (nearly all of us), especially in this time of economic crisis that has great impact on the car industry as we know it.' - Philip J. Vergragt Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Technology Assessment, Senior Associate, Tellus Institute

'Surfing the Global Tide' is an important book at an important time. With automakers worldwide being battered by the global financial crisis, speculation abounds about consolidation, realignment and bankruptcy. Wynn-Williams' ambitious work applies to any company on the edge. In pinpointing the minimum size a carmaker must be to survive on its own, his research draws richly from both the theories of economics and the realities of the factory floor. His answer is that successful automakers can churn out a surprisingly low number of vehicles per year. The implications are broad reaching for a range of manufacturers, from Japan's Mazda Motor Corp. and Germany's Daimler AG to the nascent Chinese brands. 'Surfing' is fascinating read for anyone interested in the future path of the globalized auto industry.' - Hans Greimel, Asia Editor, Automotive News
