318,95 kr. Jødernes historie begrænses i dag ofte til forfølgelser, holocaustforbrydelserne og de politiske begivenheder i Mellemøsten. Denne bog ønsker at åbne for et mere facetteret og farverigere billede, hvortil især også hører den frugtbare udveksling med andre kulturer. Selv om jøderne altid har udgjort en lille minoritet, har de efterladt deres spor i talrige kulturer, har præget de store verdensreligioner og har udviklet deres egne livsverdener. Michael Brenner skildrer præcist og gennem rammende eksempler den mangefacetterede historie for en nation og en religion. Han tager læserne med på en verdensrejse fra den Nære Orient over den græske og romerske verden, det mauriske Spanien og Centraleuropa til Østeuropa, Israel og Amerika. Der opstår således et fascinerende panorama over en historie, som netop på grund af de mange brud og tvungne nye begyndelser gør indtryk gennem sin kontinuitet og troskab mod egne rødder.

558,95 kr. Franken war eine bedeutende Wiege jüdischer Geschichte und Kultur in Süddeutschland. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Territorien des Heiligen Römischen Reichs Deutscher Nation wurden Juden nie dauerhaft aus ganz Franken vertrieben und lebten so seit dem Ende des 11. Jahrhunderts kontinuierlich in diesem Gebiet. Heute blicken wir auf eine fast tausendjährige jüdische Geschichte zurück, in der sich vielfältige und bedeutende kulturelle Traditionen entwickelten, mit groÃen Gelehrten, eigenen religiösen Riten, fränkisch-jüdischen Dialekten, besonderen kulinarischen Gebräuchen, erstaunlich vielen Synagogenbauten und über hundert jüdischen Friedhöfen. Mit Beiträgen von Monika Berthold-Hilpert, Yaakov Borut, Michael Brenner, Christoph Daxelmüller, Daniela F. Eisenstein, Johannes Heil, Steven Lowenstein, Aubrey Pomerance, Edith Raim, Barbara Rösch, Alexander Schmidt, Ittai J. Tamari, Jim G. Tobias, Cornelia Wilhelm, Carsten Wilke

669,95 kr. Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Beschaffung, Produktion, Logistik, Note: 1,0, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel der Arbeit ist es, den Transformationsprozess vom traditionell ausgerichteten produzierenden Unternehmen im Investitionsgüterbereich zum Lösungsanbieter mit all seinen wesentlichen Aspekten zu erfassen, zu analysieren und in einem mehrdimensionalen Reifegradmodell abzubilden. Einer zunehmenden Vergleichbarkeit von technischen Produkten und standardisierten Dienstleistungen versuchen produzierende Unternehmen mit dem Wandel zum Lösungsanbieter entgegen zu wirken. Im Zentrum dieses Wandels stehen Kundenlösungen als gezielte, aufeinander abgestimmte Integration von Sach- und Dienstleistungen zu kundenindividuellen und maßgeschneiderten Problemlösungen, deren kundenseitig wahrgenommener Wert, den Wert der Leistungsbestandteile übersteigt.Der Wandel vom produktorientierten Unternehmen zum Lösungsanbieter macht den schrittweisen Auf- und Ausbau zusätzlicher Kompetenzen erforderlich. Reifegradmodelle beschreiben diesen Veränderungsprozess und können Unternehmen helfen, den Wandel erfolgreich zu bewältigen. Mit Unzulänglichkeiten behaftete vorhandene Modelle und die Forderung nach einem holistischen Reifegradmodell stellen den Anstoß dieser Arbeit dar.Zunächst wird eine umfangreiche Literaturanalyse durchgeführt, um theoretische Grundlagen zu Veränderungsprozessen in Organisationen, sowie Merkmale und Kompetenzen eines erfolgreichen Lösungsanbieters zu erarbeiten. Daraus gehen sechs Gestaltungsdimensionen hervor, die den Erfolg eines Lösungsanbieters potentiell beeinflussen können. Der empirische Teil der Arbeit baut darauf auf und umfasst die Durchführung einer internetbasierten Umfrage im Rahmen einer Marktstudie.Aus den empirisch gewonnenen Daten geht mittels multivariater Analysemethoden (Clusteranalyse) ein mehrdimensionales, hierarchisch aufgebautes Reifegradmodell hervor, das die Entwicklung vom produzierenden Unternehmen hin zum Lösungsanbieter aufzeigt. Dieses Modell ermöglicht es produzierenden Unternehmen den Wandel zum Lösungsanbieter in seiner Gänze zu verstehen, ihre Ist-Situation festzustellen und Maßnahmen zur Zielerreichung (Soll-Zustand) abzuleiten.

216,95 - 544,95 kr. From acclaimed historian Michael Brenner, a mesmerizing portrait of Munich in the early years of Hitler's quest for powerIn the aftermath of Germany's defeat in World War I and the failed November Revolution of 1918-19, the conservative government of Bavaria identified Jews with left-wing radicalism. Munich became a hotbed of right-wing extremism, with synagogues under attack and Jews physically assaulted in the streets. It was here that Adolf Hitler established the Nazi movement and developed his antisemitic ideas. Michael Brenner provides a gripping account of how Bavaria's capital city became the testing ground for Nazism and the Final Solution.In an electrifying narrative that takes readers from Hitler's return to Munich following the armistice to his calamitous Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Brenner demonstrates why the city's transformation is crucial for understanding the Nazi era and the tragedy of the Holocaust. Brenner describes how Hitler and his followers terrorized Munich's Jews and were aided by politicians, judges, police, and ordinary residents. He shows how the city's Jews responded to the antisemitic backlash in many different ways-by declaring their loyalty to the state, by avoiding public life, or by abandoning the city altogether.Drawing on a wealth of previously unknown documents, In Hitler's Munich reveals the untold story of how a once-cosmopolitan city became, in the words of Thomas Mann, "e;the city of Hitler."e;

219,95 kr. A concise narrative history that brings the story of the Jewish people marvelously to lifeThis is a sweeping and powerful narrative history of the Jewish people from biblical times to today. Based on the latest scholarship and richly illustrated, it is the most authoritative and accessible chronicle of the Jewish experience available. Michael Brenner tells a dramatic story of change and migration deeply rooted in tradition, taking readers from the mythic wanderings of Moses to the unspeakable atrocities of the Holocaust; from the Babylonian exile to the founding of the modern state of Israel; and from the Sephardic communities under medieval Islam to the shtetls of eastern Europe and the Hasidic enclaves of modern-day Brooklyn. The book is full of fascinating personal stories of exodus and return, from that told about Abraham, who brought his newfound faith into Canaan, to that of Holocaust survivor Esther Barkai, who lived on a kibbutz established on a German estate seized from the Nazi Julius Streicher as she awaited resettlement in Israel. Describing the events and people that have shaped Jewish history, and highlighting the important contributions Jews have made to the arts, politics, religion, and science, A Short History of the Jews is a compelling blend of storytelling and scholarship that brings the Jewish past marvelously to life.

- Interpreters of Jewish History
600,95 kr. Prophets of the Past is the first book to examine in depth how modern Jewish historians have interpreted Jewish history. Michael Brenner reveals that perhaps no other national or religious group has used their shared history for so many different ideological and political purposes as the Jews. He deftly traces the master narratives of Jewish history from the beginnings of the scholarly study of Jews and Judaism in nineteenth-century Germany; to eastern European approaches by Simon Dubnow, the interwar school of Polish-Jewish historians, and the short-lived efforts of Soviet-Jewish historians; to the work of British and American scholars such as Cecil Roth and Salo Baron; and to Zionist and post-Zionist interpretations of Jewish history. He also unravels the distortions of Jewish history writing, including antisemitic Nazi research into the "e;Jewish question,"e; the Soviet portrayal of Jewish history as class struggle, and Orthodox Jewish interpretations of history as divinely inspired. History proved to be a uniquely powerful weapon for modern Jewish scholars during a period when they had no nation or army to fight for their ideological and political objectives, whether the goal was Jewish emancipation, diasporic autonomy, or the creation of a Jewish state. As Brenner demonstrates in this illuminating and incisive book, these historians often found legitimacy for these struggles in the Jewish past.

- Jewish Identities in Germany and Austria, 1918-1933
258,95 kr. A collection of essays interrogates the nature of Jewish identity in the time between two world wars. The history of Jews in interwar Germany and Austria is often viewed either as the culmination of tremendous success in the economic and cultural realms and of individual assimilation and acculturation, or as the beginning of the road that led to Auschwitz. By contrast, this volume demonstrates a re-emerging sense of community within the German-speaking Jewish population of these two countries in the two decades after World War I. The fresh research presented here shows that while Jews may have experienced a deepening sense of impending crisis and economic decline, a renewal of Jewish communal life took place during these years, as new groupings sprang up, including organizations for youth, for rural Jews, and for political groups such as Zionists and Bundists. Several chapters consider the impact of economic and political crises on German-Jewish family life. Together, these essays form a complex mosaic of German Jewry on the eve of its demise. ';An excellent collection... well written and cogently argued.' David N. Myers
