    The scientific collective monograph Central and Eastern Europe and the World in the 20th Century. Continuities and Discontinuities is based mainly on the contributions of the international conference held in September 2021 at the University of Pécs (Hungary) in cooperation with the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Czech Republic) on the phenomenon of continuity and discontinuity in the 20th century. The individual chapters, authored by experts from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, the Federal Republic of Germany or Slovakia, deal with continuity and discontinuity problems, issues and challenges not only in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, but also focus on non-European areas in this context. Thus, the events of the Great War, the Versailles-Washington System, the era of dictators, the Second World War, the bipolarity of the world and the concurrent Cold War, which ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, made the 20th century not only a well-known age of extremes, but also an epoch of continuity and discontinuity not only in the European dimension.Die wissenschaftliche kollektive Monographie Central and Eastern Europe and the World in the 20th Century. Continuities and Discontinuities basiert hauptsächlich auf den Beiträgen der internationalen Konferenz, die im September 2021 an der Universität Pécs (Ungarn) in Zusammenarbeit mit der Westböhmischen Universität in Pilsen (Tschechische Republik) stattfand und sich mit dem Phänomen der Kontinuität und Diskontinuität im 20. Jahrhundert beschäftigte. Die einzelnen Kapitel, verfasst von Experten aus der Tschechischen Republik, Ungarn, Polen, der Bundesrepublik Deutschland oder der Slowakei, befassen sich mit Kontinuitäts- und Diskontinuitätsproblemen, Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen nicht nur in der Geschichte Mittel- und Osteuropas, sondern fokussieren in diesem Zusammenhang auch auf außereuropäische Räume. Die Ereignisse des Ersten Weltkriegs, das Versailles-Washington System, die Ära der Diktatoren, der Zweite Weltkrieg, die Bipolarität der Welt und der gleichzeitige Kalte Krieg, der mit dem Fall der Berliner Mauer und dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion endete, machten das 20. Jahrhundert nicht nur zu einem bekannten Zeitalter der Extreme, sondern auch zu einer Epoche der Kontinuität und Diskontinuität nicht nur in der europäischen Dimension.

    An illustrated tour through New York’s five boroughs and the past 100 years of its modern architecture, told through the charming yet bold drawings of Lukas Novotny.Modern New York: The Illustrated Story of Architecture in the Five Boroughs from 1920 to Today takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the changing fortunes of New York City throughout the last hundred years, from the heights of the Roaring Twenties and “Mad Men” Fifties, to the depths of the Great Depression Thirties, through to “Fear City” in the Seventies, and beyond. Many of the featured buildings won’t be found in city guides and some of them are no longer around—but each one played an integral part in the fascinating story of the five boroughs.The ten decades are explored through some 150 buildings in all corners of the city, from Rockefeller Center to the Pan Am Building to the Standard Hotel, as well as treasures lost, such as the 1927 Savoy-Plaza Hotel, and treasures rescued, such as the astonishingly glamourous 1924 American Radiator Building, now the Bryant Park Hotel. New York City has been described from every possible angle through thousands of books. But not many of them venture out of Manhattan, let alone visit all five boroughs. Out of these, only a handful is accessible to non-experts and fewer still are entertaining and illustrated. And none of them offer such a crisp and visually unified picture of the Big Apple.

    Nano-optics is the study of optical phenomena and techniques on the nanometer scale, that is, near or beyond the diffraction limit of light. It is an emerging field of study, motivated by the rapid advance of nanoscience and nanotechnology which require adequate tools and strategies for fabrication, manipulation and characterization at this scale. In this 2006 text the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and experimental concepts necessary to understand and work in nano-optics. With a very broad perspective, they cover optical phenomena relevant to the nanoscale across diverse areas ranging from quantum optics to biophysics, introducing and extensively describing all of the significant methods. Written for graduate students who want to enter the field, the text includes problem sets to reinforce and extend the discussion. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and course teachers.
