Die umfassende Studie beleuchtet Max Schmeling als Nationalheld und seine Rolle in der deutschen Identität von den 1920er Jahren bis heute. Sie analysiert seine Aufstieg zur Ikone in der Weimarer Republik, die Verbindung zu Amerika sowie seinen Status im Dritten Reich und die Rivalität mit Joe Louis. Darüber hinaus wird Schmelings Einfluss in der Nachkriegszeit thematisiert, wo er als moralisches Vorbild für eine Generation diente, die mit ihrer Vergangenheit umging. Das Buch richtet sich an Leser, die sich für die Verknüpfung von Sport, Kultur und Politik in Deutschland interessieren.

With 120 species described in detail, each illustrated with a full-colour, computer-generated image which brings it to life, this is a "photographic" identification guide to this fascinating group of creatures. As well as descriptive text for each species and its related family, there is an ID fact file which lists all the important information at a glance. A time line indicates the era in which the dinosaur lived and a scale guide also accompanies each one. Additional features such as eggs and habitat may also be illustrated.

The volume presents a unique cross-section of contemporary research in the broad field of migration and exile studies. Its particular focus is on the manner in which ideas, methodologies, scholarship and innovation, developed in German-speaking Europe, were transferred to Britain and the USA after 1933. The transformative effect of this exodus of talent upon the host cultures, and the corresponding impact of the host cultures upon the refugees, helped produce the groundbreaking work of German-speaking refugees in diverse areas. The essays include surveys of the contributions of exiles to academic disciplines and to art and design, and fresh examinations of the work of prominent refugees like Wittgenstein, as well as less well known figures such as Nina Rubinstein and Gaby Schreiber.
