Product Description:
Did you know that more Germans have immigrated to the United States than any other ethnic group?While German culture is rich in its own traditions and history, Americans still tend to see German culture as similar to their own until they experience it firsthand. In his book, Germany: Unraveling an Enigma, Greg Nees seeks to highlight the background and customs of this fascinating group of people.As it turns out, Germans spend a great amount of time discussing their puzzling heritage and culture; in fact, discussing and debating almost anything is one of their favorite pastimes, and with Germany, Americans can begin to understand and unravel German culture as well. The book includes a review of modern German history, major German cultural themes and their relationship to German communication patterns, and it also looks to the future, piecing together a picture of twenty-first century Germany.Germany: Unraveling an Enigma will be welcomed by anyone interested in Germany or German culture. It can be especially valuable for students, managers, and others living in Germany, along with anyone else wishing to understand the dynamics of cross-cultural interaction between Germans and Americans.Germany: Unraveling an Enigma is a concise guide for any teacher who needs a course outline to teach topics in German culture in order to prepare students for a study abroad program or an internship in Germany.-Kerstin Somerholter, University of Texas at Austin, Die Unterrichtspraxis ReviewContentsTo the ReaderAcknowledgments1 Introduction2 Who Are the Germans?3 Major German Cultural Themes4 German Communication Patterns5 The German Social Market Economy6 Building Better Business Relationships7 Wertewandel: Creation of a New German Identity?Appendix: Statistical Comparison of Germany and the United StatesGlossary of German TermsReferences and Further ReadingsIndex

Product Description:

In one concise volume, Hagen Schulze brilliantly conveys the full sweep of German history, from the days of the Romans to the fall of the Berlin Wall. A story two thousand years in the making, it rings with battle, murmurs with intrigue, and hums with the music of everyday life. This richly various legacy, often overshadowed and distorted by the nation's recent past, offers a hopeful answer to the perennial question of what kind of country Germany is and will be.

From the revolt of the indigenous tribes against Roman domination, Schulze leads us through the events that have defined a nation at the center of European culture--the Thirty Years' War and the decline of the Holy Roman Empire, Luther's Reformation and Bismarck's attendance at the birth of modern Germany, the Great War and its aftermath, the nationalistic megalomania under Hitler, the division of the nation after World War II and its reunification. Throughout, we see what these developments have meant for the German people, in the arena of private life and on the stage of world history. A lavish array of illustrations provides a lively counterpoint to Schulze's elegantly written narrative.

As it follows the threads of German language, nationalism, and culture to the present day, this dramatic account provides ample reassurance that recent history will not repeat itself. Germany: A New History will prove indispensable to our understanding of Germany, past and present, and the future of Europe.

Now, award-winning historian Steven Ozment, whom The New Yorker has hailed as "a splendidly readable scholar," gives us the fullest portrait possible in this sweeping, original, and provocative history of the German people, from antiquity to the present, holding a mirror up to an entire civilization -- one that has been alternately Western Europe's most successful and most perilous.</TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Five-Germanys-I-Have-Known/dp/0374530866%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0374530866" onmouseover="window.status='Five Germanys I Have Known';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">Five Germanys I Have Known</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT">By Fritz Stern Farrar, Straus and Giroux Released: 2007-07-24 Paperback (560 pages) <CENTER><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Five-Germanys-I-Have-Known/dp/0374530866%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0374530866" onmouseover="window.status='Five Germanys I Have Known';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41VxUxQifCL._SL160_.jpg" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="160" BORDER="0" ALT="Five Germanys I Have Known"></A></CENTER></TD><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER">List Price: $16.00* Lowest New Price: $6.45* Lowest Used Price: $2.51* Usually ships in 24 hours* *(As of 04:29 Pacific 4 Feb 2012 <A HREF="javascript:alert('Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.

In this unusual fusion of personal memoir and history, the celebrated scholar Fritz Stern refracts the question through the prism of his own life. Born in the Weimar Republic, exposed to five years of National Socialism before being forced into exile in 1938 in America, he became a world-renowned historian whose work opened new perspectives on the German past. Stern brings to life the five Germanys he has experienced: Weimar, the Third Reich, postwar West and East Germanys, and the unified country after 1990. Through his engagement with the nation from which he and his family fled, he shows that the tumultuous history of Germany, alternately the strength and the scourge of Europe, offers political lessons for citizens everywhere--especially those facing or escaping from tyranny. In this wise, tough-minded, and subtle book, Stern, himself a passionately engaged citizen, looks beyond Germany to issues of political responsibility that concern everyone. Five Germanys I Have Known vindicates his belief that, at its best, history is our most dramatic introduction to a moral civic life. </div></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Illustrated-History-Germany-Histories/dp/0521794323%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0521794323" onmouseover="window.status='The Cambridge Illustrated History of Germany (Cambridge Illustrated Histories)';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">The Cambridge Illustrated History of Germany (Cambridge Illustrated Histories)</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT">By Martin Kitchen Cambridge University Press Paperback (352 pages) <CENTER><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Illustrated-History-Germany-Histories/dp/0521794323%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0521794323" onmouseover="window.status='The Cambridge Illustrated History of Germany (Cambridge Illustrated Histories)';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51S98MWA7BL._SL160_.jpg" WIDTH="126" HEIGHT="160" BORDER="0" ALT="The Cambridge Illustrated History of Germany (Cambridge Illustrated Histories)"></A></CENTER></TD><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER">List Price: $35.00* Lowest Used Price: $19.12* *(As of 04:29 Pacific 4 Feb 2012 <A HREF="javascript:alert('Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.

Written in a lively, accessible manner for a general audience by a leading academic expert, this book is unique in its authority, approach and scope.
