The comparison was carried out against the backdrop of the international discussion on proto-industrialization, its prerequisites and consequences. There has, however, been a certain bias in much of that debate, the focus being mainly on Western Europe, particularly on Britain, and on textile trades. This book offers an important contribution to the debate in that it widens the perspective by discussing Northern and Eastern Europe and by studying the iron industry. More particularly it examines actual production processes, the organization of work, social conflict, questions of ownership and its evolution, as well as the diffusion and organization of technical knowledge. The comparative approach is consistently applied throughout, with each chapter closely integrating the results relating to the two selected geographical areas, thus showing ways of solving some of the problems arising from comparative history.</p>", "author": "Maria Ågren", "slug": "iron-making-societies-270319-9781782388036", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9781782388036.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "270319", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/270319/iron-making-societies-270319-9781782388036", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS037030", "HIS010000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781571819550", "EISBN13": "9781782388036", "EISBN10": "1782388036" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010034248197" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000270318", "attributes": { "name": "The 'Conservative Revolutionaries'", "subtitle": "The Protestant and Catholic Churches in Germany after Radical Political Change in the 1990s", "description": "<p>\n\tDuring the forty years of division, the Protestant and Catholic churches in Germany were the only organizations to retain strong ties and organizational structures: they embodied continuity in a country marked by discontinuity. As such, the churches were both expected to undergo smooth and rapid institutional consolidation and undertake an active role in the public realm of the new eastern German states in the 1990s. Yet critical voices were heard over the West German system of church-state relations and the public role it confers on religious organizations, and critics often expressed the idea that despite all their difficulties, something precious was lost in the collapse of the German democratic republic. Against this backdrop, the author delineates the conflicting conceptions of the Protestant and Catholic churches' public role and pays special attention to the East German model, or what is generally termed the \"positive experiences of the GDR and the Wende.\"</p>", "author": "Barbara Theriault", "slug": "the-conservative-revolutionaries-270318-9781782387947-barbara-theriault", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9781782387947.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "270318", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/270318/the-conservative-revolutionaries-270318-9781782387947-barbara-theriault", "bisac_codes": [ "REL079000", "HIS014000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781571816672", "EISBN13": "9781782387947", "EISBN10": "1782387943" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010034245628" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000270317", "attributes": { "name": "Working for the Enemy", "subtitle": "Ford, General Motors, and Forced Labor in Germany during the Second World War", "description": "<p>\n\tGeneral Motors, the largest corporation on earth today, has been the owner since 1929 of Adam Opel AG, Russelsheim, the maker of Opel cars. Ford Motor Company in 1931 built the Ford Werke factory in Cologne, now the headquarters of European Ford. In this book, historians tell the astonishing story of what happened at Opel and Ford Werke under the Third Reich, and of the aftermath today.</p>\n<p>\n\tLong before the Second World War, key American executives at Ford and General Motors were eager to do business with Nazi Germany. Ford Werke and Opel became indispensable suppliers to the German armed forces, together providing most of the trucks that later motorized the Nazi attempt to conquer Europe. After the outbreak of war in 1939, Opel converted its largest factory to warplane parts production, and both companies set up extensive maintenance and repair networks to help keep the war machine on wheels.</p>\n<p>\n\tDuring the war, the Nazi Reich used millions of POWs, civilians from German-occupied countries, and concentration camp prisoners as forced laborers in the German homefront economy. Starting in 1940, Ford Werke and Opel also made use of thousands of forced laborers. POWs and civilian detainees, deported to Germany by the Nazi authorities, were kept at private camps owned and managed by the companies. In the longest section of the book, ten people who were forced to work at Ford Werke recall their experiences in oral testimonies.</p>\n<p>\n\tFor more than fifty years, legal and political obstacles frustrated efforts to gain compensation for Nazi-era forced labor; in the most recent case, a $12 billion lawsuit was filed against the computer giant I.B.M. by a group of Gypsy organizations. In 1998, former forced laborers filed dozens of class action lawsuits against German corporations in U.S. courts. The concluding chapter reviews the subsequent, immensely complex negotiations towards a settlement - which involved Germany, the United States, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Czech Republic, Israel and several other countries, as well as dozens of well-known German corporations.</p>", "author": "Reinhold Billstein, Karola Fings, Anita Kugler, Nicholas Levis", "slug": "working-for-the-enemy-270317-9781782387855", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9781782387855.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "270317", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/270317/working-for-the-enemy-270317-9781782387855", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS027100", "BUS023000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781845450137", "EISBN13": "9781782387855", "EISBN10": "1782387854" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010034247697" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000270316", "attributes": { "name": "Racism in Metropolitan Areas", "subtitle": "", "description": "<p>\n\tFor several decades, a political discourse, which incites exclusion and hatred againt those who are perceived as different, has been gaining ground, most notably in affluent and developed countries.

The contributions of the scientists and the non-academic specialists are grouped around common themes, highlighting existing debates and bringing together widely scattered information.

These children have been captive to various sorts of stereotyping, both academic and popular. They have been objectified, much as their parents and grandparents, as passive victims without the benefit of international protection. And they have become the beneficiaries of numerous humanitarian aid packages which presume the primacy of the Western model of child development as well as the psycho-social approach to intervention.
