East Germany’s ruling party never officially acknowledged
responsibility for the crimes committed in Germany’s name during
the Third Reich. Instead, it cast communists as both victims of and
victors over National Socialist oppression while marginalizing
discussions of Jewish suffering. Yet for the 1977 Academy Awards,
the Ministry of Culture submitted Jakob der Lügner – a film
focused exclusively on Jewish victimhood that would become the only
East German film to ever be officially nominated. By combining
close analyses of key films with extensive archival research, this
book explores how GDR filmmakers depicted Jews and the Holocaust in
a country where memories of Nazi persecution were highly
prescribed, tightly controlled and invariably political.

setup for the best result, making this a comprehensive guide for
any user. Nine case studies in a variety of environments, including
gullies, high altitudes, wetlands and recreational architecture are
included to enhance learning. This new edition includes small
unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and discusses changes in legal
practices across the globe. In addition, the book presents the
history of SFAP, providing background and context for new
developments.
The image, status and function of queens and empresses, regnant and
consort, in kingdoms stretching from England to Jerusalem in the
European middle ages. Did queens exercise real or counterfeit
power? Did the promotion of the cult of the Virgin enhance or
restrict their sphere of action? Is it time to revise the early
feminist view of women as victims? Important papers on Emma of
England, Margaret of Scotland, coronation and burial ritual,
Byzantine empresses and Scandinavian queens, among others, clearly
indicate that a reassessment of the role of women in the world of
medieval dynastic politics is under way. Contributors: JANOS BAK,

Let us not go over the old ground, let us rather prepare for what
is to come. -Marcus Tullius Cicero Improvements in the health
status of communities depend on effective public health and
healthcare infrastructures. These infrastructures are increasingly
electronic and tied to the Internet. Incorporating emerging
technologies into the service of the community has become a
required task for every public health leader. The revolution in
information technology challenges every sector of the health
enterprise. Individuals, care providers, and public health agencies
can all benefit as we reshape public health through the adoption of
new infor- tion systems, use of electronic methods for disease
surveillance, and refor- tion of outmoded processes. However,
realizing the benefits will be neither easy nor inexpensive.
Technological innovation brings the promise of new ways of
improving health. Individuals have become more involved in knowing
about, and managing and improving, their own health through
Internet access. Similarly, healthcare p- viders are transforming
the ways in which they assess, treat, and document - tient care
through their use of new technologies. For example, point-of-care
and palm-type devices will soon be capable of uniquely identifying
patients, s- porting patient care, and documenting treatment simply
and efficiently.
Audiences for contemporary German film and television are becoming
increasingly transnational, and depictions of German cultural
history are moving beyond the typical post-war focus on German’s
problematic past. Entertaining German Culture explores this radical
shift, building on recent research into transnational culture to
argue that a new process of internal and external cultural
reabsorption is taking place through areas of mutually assimilating
cultural exchange such as streaming services, an increasingly
international film market, and the import and export of
Anglo-American media formats.
Replete with color photographs, drawings, and maps of Viking sites,
artifacts, and landscapes, this book celebrates and explores the
Viking saga from the combined perspectives of history, archaeology,
oral tradition, literature, and natural science. The book's
contributors chart the spread of marauders and traders in Europe as
well as the expansion of farmers and explorers throughout the North
Atlantic and into the New World. They show that Norse contacts with
Native American groups were more extensive than has previously been
believed, but that the outnumbered Europeans never established more
than temporary settlements in North America.
Map Librarianship identifies basic geoliteracy concepts and
enhances reference and instruction skills by providing details on
finding, downloading, delivering, and assessing maps, remotely
sensed imagery, and other geospatial resources and services,
primarily from trusted government sources. By offering descriptions
of traditional maps, geographic information systems (GIS), remote
sensing, and other geospatial technologies, the book provides a
timely and practical guide for the map and geospatial librarian to
blend confidence in traditional library skill sets.
