The issue opens with an article by distinguished historian of science Lorraine Daston (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin) on the history of “Calculation and the Division of Labor” from 1750 to 1950, which is based on the presentation she delivered as GHI’s 31st Annual Lecture last November. Daston begins with the observation that while there is now a rich historical literature on the history of reading and writing, we still know very little about the history of calculation. Daston’s penetrating analysis of how the introduction of calculating machines changed the organization of labor in the “Big Calculation” projects of astronomy, railways or government statistics reveals that the capacity of machines to cal- culate did not lead contemporaries to the conclusion that machines were intelligent (as the current fascination with Artifi cial Intelligence might suggest) but that most calculation was mechanical and mind- less. The eff ect of making calculation mechanical was “to disqualify it as an intelligent activity,” which helps to explain why the history of calculation has attracted much less scholarly attention than that of reading and writing. Our second article is the keynote lecture delivered by Jörn Leonhard (University of Freiburg) at this year’s Annual Conference of the GHI’s parent foundation, the Max Weber Foundation, which was organized by the GHI Washington on the topic “Settlement and Unsettlement: The Ends of World War I and their Legacies.” In his lecture, “The Overburdened Peace: Competing Visions of World Order in 1918/19,” Leonhard, the author of the acclaimed Pandora’s Box: A History of the First World War, off ers a comprehensive analysis of the post- war peace settlement. Alive to the contradictory mixture of ruptures and continuities that characterized the postwar situation, he argues that the war’s long years of violence and sacrifi ce provoked enor- mous expectations that overtaxed the peace from the outset. Not only did the practical implementation of the concept of national self-determination prove contentious as it came up against the realities of multiethnic populations and competing identities, but the triumph of the nation state became increasingly dissociated from democracy. PREFACE 3 Jennifer Jenkins’s (University of Toronto) article on the “German moment” in 1918 shift s the focus from the postwar peace settlement back to the fi rst eight months of the year 1918. Originating in a confer- ence panel organized by the GHI’s “German History Intersections” Project at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association, Jenkins’s article recovers the “radically diff erent picture of Germany’s future” that characterized the months following the conclusion of the Brest-Litovsk treaty in March 1918. While German wartime plans for Mitteleuropa are well-known, Jenkins examines German plans for the creation of a German economic sphere much further East, across the territories of the former Russian Empire, in what the planners called the “New Orient.” Focusing on the Caucasus and Iran, she investigates the complex interaction of German diplo- mats, the German military, and Georgian and Persian local elites in

This article is a response to the publication by Nick Marriner, David Kaniewski, Christophe Morhange, Clément Flaux, Matthieu Giaime, Matteo Vacchi and James Goff entitled “Tsunamis in the geological record: Making waves with a cautionary tale from the Mediterranean”, published in October 2017 in Science Advances. Making use of radiometric data sets published in the context of selected palaeotsunami studies by independent research groups from different countries, Marriner et al. (2017) carried out statistical and time series analyses. They compared their results with an assessment of Mediterranean storminess since the mid-Holocene that was previously published by Kaniewski et al. (2016) based on a single-core study from coastal Croatia. Marriner et al. (2017) now present “previously unrecognized” 1500-year “tsunami megacycles” which they suggest correlating with Mediterranean climate deterioration. They conclude that up to 90 % of all the ‘tsunamis’ identified in original tsunami papers used for their study are “better as­ cribed to periods of heightened storminess”.

    The Cultivation of Friendship: French and German Cultural Cooperation, 1925-1954 Elana Passman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Dr. Donald M. Reid Dr. Christopher R. Browning Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Alice Kaplan Dr. Lloyd Kramer Dr. Jay M. Smith ©2008 Elana Passman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ELANA PASSMAN The Cultivation of Friendship: French and German Cultural Cooperation, 1925-1954 (under the direction of Donald M. Reid) Through a series of case studies of French-German friendship societies, this dissertation investigates the ways in which activists in France and Germany battled the dominant strains of nationalism to overcome their traditional antagonism. It asks how the Germans and the French recast their relationship as “hereditary enemies” to enable them to become partners at the heart of today’s Europe. Looking to the transformative power of civic activism, it examines how journalists, intellectuals, students, industrialists, and priests developed associations and lobbying groups to reconfigure the French-German dynamic through cultural exchanges, bilingual or binational journals, conferences, lectures, exhibits, and charitable ventures. As a study of transnational cultural relations, this dissertation focuses on individual mediators along with the networks and institutions they developed; it also explores the history of the idea of cooperation. Attempts at rapprochement in the interwar period proved remarkably resilient in the face of the prevalent nationalist spirit. While failing to override hostilities and sustain peace, the campaign for cooperation adopted a new face in the misguided shape of collaborationism during the Second World War.

    Der andere Pabst Anmerkungen zur G. W. Pabst-Retrospektive der Berliner Filmfestspiele Thomas Brandlmeier, epd Film, Nr. 05, 1997 Die letzte große Pabst-Retrospektive hierzulande wurde 1963/64 von Rudolf Joseph im Münchner Filmmuseum gezeigt. Seither gab es immer wieder kleinere Retrospektiven mit dem Kanon der Meisterwerke, "Die Büchse der Pandora", "Die freudlose Gasse", "Tagebuch einer Verlorenen, "Geheimnisse einer Seele", "Kameradschaft", dann und wann auch noch "Die Liebe der Jeanne Ney", "Westfront 1918", "L'Atlantide", "Abwege", "Der Schatz", "Die 3-Groschen-Oper", "Du haut en bas", "Skandal um Eva", "Don Quichotte", "Die weisse Hölle von Piz Palü". Das sind im wesentlichen die Filme, die unter den Oberbegriff "Pabst – späte 20er Jahre – Neue Sachlichkeit" fallen. Dazu ein bißchen Frühwerk und französische Periode. Der Rest – schamhaft verschwiegen. Die Fallhöhe zwischen "Die Büchse der Pandora" (1928/29) – in meinen Augen der ultimative Pabst-Film – und, sagen wir, "Rosen für Bettina" (1955/56) ist in der Tat gewaltig. Gemessen an der Flut von Filmbüchern, Retrospektiven und filmhistorischen Forschungs- und Rekonstruktionsarbeiten zum Werk von Murnau und Lang ist Pabst, anerkanntermaßen die Nummer Drei der deutschen Filmgeschichte, ziemlich vernachlässigt. So gesehen füllt diese Berliner Gesamt-Retrospektive der Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek eine große Lücke. Rekonstruktionsarbeit Je stärker der Zerstörungsgrad eines Werks ist, desto drastischer sind die Dejà-vu- Effekte der besonderen Art. "Die Büchse der Pandora" (1928/29) und "Die freudlose Gasse" (1925), in Berlin in rekonstruierten Fassungen vorgestellt, kursieren, vor allem infolge von Zensureingriffen, in höchst unterschiedlichen Versionen. "Immer-wieder- Schreiben einer längst beendeten, zur Unzufriedenheit beendeten Arbeit – dieses Revenanthafte also bezeichnet die höchste Steigerung des Dejà vu nach Seite seines Versäumnis-Choks", schreibt Ernst Bloch.

As the fortunes of war shifted, so did borders, populations and national allegiances. In a period of acute and almost constant political crisis, the German government faced issues concerning citizenship, minority rights, religious identity, nationhood and statehood. My dissertation analyses these issues through the prism of the so-called 'Jewish Question'.

    Autarky and Lebensraum. the Political Agenda of Academic Plant Breeding in Nazi Germany[1]

    Journal of History of Science and Technology | Vol.3 | Fall 2009 Autarky and Lebensraum. The political agenda of academic plant breeding in Nazi Germany[1] By Thomas Wieland * Introduction In a 1937 booklet entitled Die politischen Aufgaben der deutschen Pflanzenzüchtung (The Political Objectives of German Plant Breeding), academic plant breeder and director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (hereafter KWI) for Breeding Research in Müncheberg near Berlin Wilhelm Rudorf declared: “The task is to breed new crop varieties which guarantee the supply of food and the most important raw materials, fibers, oil, cellulose and so forth from German soils and within German climate regions. Moreover, plant breeding has the particular task of creating and improving crops that allow for a denser population of the whole Nordostraum and Ostraum [i.e., northeastern and eastern territories] as well as other border regions…”[2] This quote illustrates two important elements of National Socialist ideology: the concept of agricultural autarky and the concept of Lebensraum. The quest for agricultural autarky was a response to the hunger catastrophe of World War I that painfully demonstrated Germany’s dependence on agricultural imports and was considered to have significantly contributed to the German defeat in 1918. As Herbert Backe (1896–1947), who became state secretary in 1933 and shortly after de facto head of the German Ministry for Food and Agriculture, put it: “World War 1914–18 was not lost at the front-line but at home because the foodstuff industry of the Second Reich [i.e., the German Empire] had failed.”[3] The Nazi regime accordingly wanted to make sure that such a catastrophe would not reoccur in a next war.

Although the First World War was over, Germany began a new and violent chapter as an outbreak of civil war threatened to tear the country apart. The birth of the Weimar Republic, Germany’s first democratic government, did not begin smoothly as republican institutions failed to re-establish centralized political and military authority in the wake of the collapse of the imperial regime. Coupled with painful aftershocks from defeat in the Great War, the immediate postwar era had only one consistent force shaping and guiding political and cultural life: violence.

    THE NAZI ANTI-URBAN UTOPIA Generalplan Ost

THE NAZI ANTI-URBAN UTOPIA Generalplan Ost UNAI FERNÁNDEZ DE BETOÑO Nazi Germany saw Eastern Europe as an opportunity to expand its territory, its living space. Poland would become the laboratory for an inhumane colonisation plan, the Generalplan Ost (“General Plan for the East”), which involved replacement of the non-Aryan population with Germanic farmers. The anti-urban management of that lobotomised territory was scientifically drafted by a group of architects, geographers, and agronomists working under the orders of Heinrich Himmler. The urban planning aspects of this utopian plan, based on central place theory, self-sufficiency, and neighbourhood units, were of great technical interest and influenced the creation of new communities within Franco’s regime. However, we cannot overlook the fact that, had the Nazi plan been completed, it would have resulted in the forced relocation of 31 million Europeans. Keywords: Nazi Germany, Generalplan Ost, land management, colonisation, urban planning. ■ INTRODUCTION for the colonisation of the Eastern territories, mainly the land occupied in Poland between 1939 and 1945. The fields of urban planning and land management The Nazi colonisation of Poland, both in territories have historically focused on significantly different annexed by the Third Reich and those in the objectives depending on the authors of each plan and Generalgouvernement, was a testing ground for land when they were created. Some have given greater management and was understood as a scientific and prominence to the artistic components of urban technical discipline.

The Complex Relationship between Jews and African Americans in the Context of the Civil Rights Movement Abstract The Civil Rights Movement occurred throughout a substantial portion of the twentieth century, dedicated to fighting for equal rights for African Americans through various forms of activism. The movement had a profound impact on a number of different communities in the United States and around the world as demonstrated by the continued international attention marked by recent iterations of the Black Lives Matter and ‘Never Again’ movements. One community that had a complex reaction to the movement, played a major role within it, and was impacted by it was the American Jewish community. The African American community and the Jewish community were bonded by a similar exclusion from mainstream American society and a historic empathetic connection that would carry on into the mid-20th century; however, beginning in the late 1960s, the partnership between the groups eventually faced challenges and began to dissolve, only to resurface again in the twenty-first century.

Craik School of Mathematics & Statistics, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9SS, Scotland, United Kingdom Abstract Edward Sang (1805–1890), aided only by his daughters Flora and Jane, compiled vast logarithmic and other mathematical tables. These exceed in accuracy and extent the tables of the French Bureau du Cadastre, produced by Gaspard de Prony and a multitude of assistants during 1794–1801. Like Prony’s, only a small part of Sang’s tables was published: his 7-place logarithmic tables of 1871. The contents and fate of Sang’s manuscript volumes, the abortive attempts to publish them, and some of Sang’s methods are described. A brief biography of Sang outlines his many other contributions to science and technology in both Scotland and Turkey.
