The four~volume series is a project of the Leo Baeck Institute, established in 1955 in Jerusalem, London, and New York for the purpose of advancing scholarship on the Jews in German~speaking lands. Emancipation and Acculturation: 1780~1871, the second of the four volumes to be published by Columbia University Press, focuses on a period of fundamental political, economic, and social change chat permanently transformed German Jewry. The book begins in the 1780s, with Stefi Jersch~Wenzel's discussion of Christian Wilhelm Dohrn's programmatic work, On the Civil Improvement of the Jews, in Prussia and Habsburg Emperor Joseph II's toleration edicts, two monumental events that paved the way toward Jewish civil equality. The Jews' emancipation, however, usually depended on their willingness to reeducate themselves as Germans. Michael A. Meyer traces this transformation, revealing it as an act of both political expediency and a personal desire for acculturation. Thus, Jews redefined their identity more narrowly as a religious denomination and eagerly adopted the German language and culture. Although succeeding decades still saw widespread resistance to the granting of equal rights to the Jewish minority~sometimes manifested in outbreaks of violence ~ the period was characterized by a general feeling of optimism as economic success and a sense of bourgeois well~being gradually became realities. But even the political equality gained at the end of the period did not entail universal social or cultural acceptance. Michael Brenner discusses how, despite their expressions of patriotism, Jews remained subject to widespread discrimination and resistance. The volume also explores how Jews dealt with Christianity in German culture and with German Christianity's insistent denial of Judaism's viability; how they sustained and developed their community in the face of pressures to diminish or abandon Jewish identity; how they adapted their faith to modern sensibilities, creating new forms of Jewish belief and practice; and how leading Jewish writers and intellectuals, like Heinrich Heine and Berthold Auerbach, coped with the ambiguities of expressing Jewishness in Germany. Carefully researched and accessible to general readers, this second volume of German~Jewish History in Modern Times is an indispensable resource for understanding the complex process by which Jews became an integral part of the modern world.…

Internally, clean and fresh, with unmarked and uncreased pages. Publisher's note: A comprehensive historical survey of the Jewish presence in Central Europe from the seventeenth century to the Holocaust, German-Jewish History in Modern Times is a four-volume collective project by a team of leading scholars, offering a vivid portrait of Jewish History. The series is sponsored by the Leo Baeck Institute, established in 1955 in Jerusalem, London, and New York for the purpose of advancing scholarship on the Jews in German-speaking lands. Integration in Dispute 1871-1918 comprises the third volume and focuses on a period of political, economic, and social change that fundamentally transformed German Jewry. Eminent scholars consider a broad range of topics: religious and cultural life, demographics, political, legal, and socioeconomic status, relations between Jews and non-Jews, and Jewish participation in the larger context of European history. Volume 3 begins with the establishment of civil equality for Jews in Germany and Austria-Hungary and describes the complexities of their economic and social integration. The contributors explore the challenges that confronted Jews as they encountered both unprecedented opportunities and continued resistance to their full emancipation and participation in public life. The book discusses their standing as a minority group within German political and professional life and as a differentiated portion of the German middle class; how they coped with successive waves of political antisemitism; how they continued to adapt traditional religious practices to modernity; and how urban middle-class life transformed Jewish families as well as the role of Jewish women in the domestic and public spheres. The forces of social change, coupled with the persistence of antisemitism formed the context for the emergence of Zionism, which posed a powerful challenge to the dominant principle of integration. This volume also seeks to understand the nature and timing of the exceptional contributions of German Jews to the thriving modern culture of such cities as late imperial Vienna and Berlin as well as to the specific religious culture of Judaism. Each volume includes a bibliographical essay referring readers to the most important secondary literature, a chronology covering the major events discussed, and a series of maps and illustrations. Encompassing the most up-to-date research on the topic, German Jewish History in Modern Times is an achievement to be valued by historians, educators, and any reader seeking to understand the singular heritage of the Jewish people in Central Europe.

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very Good, not far from Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 1973. The February, 1973 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. "Science and Public Affairs" time period. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - is not at this time period on the cover, but shows as twelve minutes to midnight on the contents page. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. Very Good, plus some; no salient flaws. Essentially flawless but for modest spots of external touch-wear and a rear-cover subscriber mailing label to a Hampshire College professor. Contents are immaculate. Firmly bound. See all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change, and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Some feature topics and contributors in this vintage 1973 issue: The (early) Space Shuttle; Hannes Alfven / Space Exploration; Charles Darwin; Environment; Daley Organization; Energy Limits; Military-Industrial Complex; International Censorship; World Disarmament. See scan of contents page. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR40.…
