The personal and professional life of Bruno Kreisky, Austria's Socialist chancellor from 1970 to 1983, has been widely studied, yet his complex relationship with his Jewish identity, the State of Israel, and Zionism remains underexplored. This work systematically analyzes these aspects, placing Kreisky in a comparative context with other twentieth-century European Jewish politicians who reached similar heights of power. It highlights Kreisky as a significant and controversial figure in post-World War II politics. The focus is on how his Jewishness influenced his approach to "Jewish" issues in Austrian politics, Austrian-Israeli relations, and Middle Eastern affairs. This understanding is developed through key events such as the Kreisky-Peter-Wiesenthal affair, the Waldheim affair, and the 1973 Marchegg incident, alongside his connections to Zionism and the Palestinian Arab world. Rather than serving as a comprehensive biography, the work documents Kreisky's complex engagement with his Jewish identity and the sensitive issues surrounding it, framed within historical, political, ideological, and personal contexts. Ultimately, it delves into the intricate and often ambiguous politics of identity that shaped his understanding of his Jewishness.

Originally published in 1941, An Apache Life-Way remains one of the most important and innovative studies of southwestern Native Americans, drawing upon a rich and invaluable body of data gathered by the ethnographer Morris Edward Opler during the 1930s. Blending the analysis of individual Apache lives with the analysis of their culture, this landmark study tells of the ceremonies, religious beliefs, social life, and economy of the Chiricahua Apache. Opler traces, in fascinating detail, how a person “becomes an Apache,” beginning with conception, moving through puberty rites, marriage, and the various religious, domestic, and military duties and experiences of adulthood, and concluding with the rites and beliefs surrounding death.

Rosie and Nona are sisters. Yapas. They are also best friends. It doesn't matter that Rosie is white and Nona is Aboriginal: their family connections tie them together for life. Born just five days apart in a remote corner of the Northern Territory, the girls are inseperable, until Nona moves away at the age of nine. By the time she returns, they're in Year 10 and things have changed. Rosie has lost interest in the community, preferring to hang out in the nearby mining town, where she goes to school with the glamorous Selena, and Selena's gorgeous older brother Nick. When a political announcement highlights divisions between the Aboriginal community and the mining town, Rosie is put in a difficult position: will she be forced to choose between her first love and her oldest friend? 'A fascinating book, beautifully told, with rich insight into a deeply Australian but little known community.' - Jackie French 'Rosie's story brims with the joy and pain and complexity of friendship and love at sixteen. I adored this smart, heartfelt book about family, kinship, country, and finding out what really matters.' - Fiona Wood 'Nona & Me is one of those wonderful books that takes you deeply into a rarely seen world and brings it vibrantly to life.' - Books+Publishing

"The Tetralemma" is the tale of a young scientific polymath who, having achieved sudden wealth in the computer industry, enjoys encounters with various Buddhists, LSD, a journey through India, a Burmese vihara, wisdom-bearing damsels, a Tibetan lama, acquires a Buddhist name, ends up in Kyoto chanting the Heart Sutra, realizes an enlightenment and returns to America wondering what to do with his secular self. Described as a serio-comic tour through modern Buddhism, the story illustrates how life's completely random encounters causally create a chain-of-events on the meaning of silent words in one's mind and of thought, of consciousness, of chance and necessity, philosophical emptiness, the "middle-way", psychedelic chemicals, mathematics, neuroscience, enlightenment, machine intelligence, and once again the absolute indispensable future of sex.

«Nunca te has preguntado si lo que hicimos estuvo mal y si todavía estemos a tiempo de repararlo?» Este impactante debut de Jon Sistiaga explora las heridas abiertas del conflicto vasco. Hace treinta y cinco años, Imanol Azkarate fue secuestrado y ejecutado, y sus asesinos permanecen en la sombra. Uno de ellos, Josu Etxebeste, un restaurador guipuzcoano, ha guardado las cartas y dibujos de la víctima. Ahora, decide confesar su crimen y entregar el material a Alasne, la hija de Imanol, y al comisario Ignacio Sánchez, quien investigó el caso. Sin embargo, Josu solo confesará si Sánchez admite haber sido un torturador. Mientras intentan reconciliar su pasado sin rencor, antiguos militantes de la Organización, que nunca fueron detenidos, intentan impedir este acercamiento. La novela retrata un País Vasco donde las culpas no se ocultan, sino que emergen. Se habla de una tierra llena de armas oxidadas, traiciones, lealtades y secretos atroces, de terroristas arrepentidos y orgullosos, y de víctimas que no pueden cerrar su duelo. Además de ser un tenso thriller que mantiene al lector en vilo, es un espacio de reconocimiento del mal y un intento de sanación.

Dieses essential zeigt, wie strategisch und konzeptionell ein Markenauftritt im Metaverse entwickelt werden muss und was es dafür braucht. Die Vorgehensweise wird an vier realen Beispielen konkret illustriert. Kaum ein Thema wird gerade so kontrovers wie das Web 3.0 und seine Metaversen diskutiert. Täglich wächst die Zahl der Publikationen, Veranstaltungen und Produkte, die sich damit beschäftigen sowie auch die Zahl der Unternehmen, die auf keinen Fall den abfahrenden Zug verpassen wollen. Mindestens genauso groß ist aber die Zahl derer, die das Ganze für sinnlos ausgegebenes Marketingbudget halten. Es wird Zeit, Licht ins Dunkel der unendlichen Weiten des Web 3.0 zu bringen, Grundlagen und Begriffe zu erklären, Wege und Chancen aufzuzeigen, aber auch laut und deutlich vor den Risiken und Fehlern zu warnen.
