How Four Women Physicists Escaped Nazi Germany and Made Scientific History

Die Rückkehr der Großmächte

Eine Kulturgeschichte der Nationalismuskritik

No Love for Deutschland?

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This edited volume presents new research on the expansion and internationalisation of Italian banking during the first century after unification. It argues that, unlike the profit-driven overseas expansion of banks in other major European powers, Italy’s international banking strategy was closely linked to state-backed political and diplomatic ambitions.Bringing together leading scholars of Italian banking history, the volume examines how Italian banks pursued foreign markets despite operating in a capital-scarce economy. It explores strategies such as interbank cooperation, remittance management, foreign investment, and foreign exchange operations, while highlighting the roles of Catholic finance and the Bank of Italy. The contributors also reveal how financial expansion intersected with Italy’s imperial ambitions, both in its colonies and beyond. Offering fresh perspectives on the relationship between finance, state power, and international expansion, the volume will appeal to historians of banking, finance, and modern economic history.Giampaolo Conte&nbsp;

Italian Financial Expansion and State-Building

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

Weltweit gilt die italienische Küche als Inbegriff von Genuss und kulinarischer Perfektion. Und nichts ist in Italien so heilig wie die prodotti tipici, die regionalen Spezialitäten.Kaum ein anderes Buch erhitzte die italienischen Gemüter daher so sehr wie die Erkenntnisse des in Parma lehrenden Wirtschaftshistorikers Alberto Grandi: Die heute viel gehypte Authentizität italienischer Produkte sei vor allem auf geschickte Marketingstrategien der Lebensmittelindustrie in den 1970er-Jahren zurückzuführen.Das nationale Selbstverständnis seines Landes brachte Alberto Grandi damit gewaltig ins Wanken.

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history. The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. <ul> <li>In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events.</li> <li>We travel from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years.</li> <li>Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, and counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry in different historical eras and places.</li></ul> The Rothschilds reveals a truly new story of a very old family, making a great contribution both to history and our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

The Untold Family Story

The Rothschilds

Amid unprecedented growth in electricity demand and the rapid buildout of digital infrastructure, energy has become a strategic imperative. A visionary entrepreneur and energy industry pioneer, Michael Polsky has spent the last half-century at the forefront of the innovation, technology, and market shifts that define the energy landscape.With only $500 in cash, four suitcases, and a few words of English, Polsky immigrated to the US from Soviet Ukraine in 1976. Over the next 25 years, he built two successful energy companies before founding Invenergy in 2001. Since then, the company has grown into North America's largest independent energy developer, owner, and operator. Polsky has navigated all forms of politicization and uncertainty to achieve singular scale in the industry, having developed more than 230 projects, including some of the most complex energy infrastructure in the world.Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Polsky draws on his experience across nearly every energy technology to provide a firsthand account of the profound transformation underway. Inexhaustible is a story of deep determination and relentless effort, presenting a pragmatic vision for the future of American energy--and what it will take for us to achieve true energy independence.

Verso's Southern Questions

In 1960, as the Algerian War for Independence entered its sixth year, 22-year-old Djamila Boupacha was arrested for allegedly planting a bomb in a university cafeteria. While in custody, she was tortured and raped by French soldiers. Her case would have been buried like countless others had it not been for the efforts of her lawyer, Gisèle Halimi, and the philosopher Simone de Beauvoir to transform it into an international cause célèbre. Djamila Boupacha is the culmination of this campaign to expose the systemic violence of colonial rule. "To protest in the name of morality against ‘excesses’ or ‘abuses,’" Beauvoir writes, "is an error which hints at active complicity. There are no ‘abuses’ or ‘excesses’ here, simply an all-pervasive system." More than a historical document, the book is a profound exploration of morality, complicity and resistance. A classic text of anticolonialism, this is a story that demands to be read—and remembered.

Beginning with the observation that women’s surnames are often overlooked, marginalized, or lost across generations, 
 Glowing Women
 explores the social, cultural, and institutional factors that shape women’s opportunities for fulfilment, visibility, and self-realization throughout the different stages of their lives. The book addresses a wide range of topics, including family and school education, partner choice, life as a couple, parenthood, domestic responsibilities, self-confidence, gender bias, media representation, employment, career development, and professional recognition.
 Drawing on the author's experience as a university professor, the book combines personal reflections with interviews, anecdotes, and real-life accounts from women researchers in Operations Research. These contributors come from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds and represent countries ranging from Belgium and Brazil to Israel and Nepal. Despite their different circumstances, they reveal strikingly similar experiences in navigating academic careers, balancing professional and personal responsibilities, and seeking recognition for their achievements.Of particular relevance to women in academia and STEM disciplines, the book highlights both the visible and less visible barriers that continue to affect women's participation, advancement, and leadership. Through candid and often inspiring narratives, it offers insights into the challenges faced by women researchers while also celebrating their resilience, accomplishments, and capacity to shape their own paths.Combining personal testimony, professional experience, and reflections on gender and identity, the book offers an engaging perspective on the lives of women researchers in Operations Research. It will be of interest to academics, researchers, students, and professionals seeking to better understand the opportunities and challenges that women encounter in their personal and professional journeys, while contributing to broader conversations about equality, recognition, and inclusion in academia and beyond.
