"Terror Flyers examines the "lynch justice" (Lynchjustiz) committed against American airmen in Nazi Germany during World War II. Using engaging first-person accounts of downed pilots, as well as previously unused primary sources, Terror Flyers challenges the notion that such lynchings were exclusively the domain of Nazi party officials and soldiers. New evidence reveals ordinary German people executed Lynchjustiz as well. Initially occurring as a spontaneous reaction to the devastation of the Allied air campaign against the cities of the Third Reich, Lynchjustiz offered the Nazi regime a unique propaganda opportunity to harness the outrage of the German population. Fueled by inspiration from America's own history of the lynching of African Americans, Nazi propaganda exploited the very same imagery found in US publications to escalate the anger of the German people. Drawing heavily on the accounts of the downed airmen themselves, testimonies from the "flyer trials" held in Dachau during 1945-48, and rarely seen Nazi propaganda, Terror Flyers offers a new narrative of this previously overlooked aspect of the Allied campaign in Europe and suggests that at least 3,000 cases of lynch justice likely occurred between 1943 and 1946."

Showcases the latest research on Scotland's rural economy and society.Early modern Scotland was predominantly rural. Agriculture was the main occupation of most people at the time, so what happened in the countryside was crucial: economically, socially and culturally. The essays collected here focus on the years between around 1500 and 1750. This period, although before the main era of agricultural "improvement" in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, was nevertheless far from static in terms of agrarian development. Specific topics addressed include everyday farming practices; investment; landlords, tenants and estate management; and the cultural context within which agriculture was "imagined". The disastrous famine of 1622-23 is analysed in detail. The volume is completed by a comprehensive survey of recent historiography, setting agricultural history in its broader context.

Nicht erst seit der Covid-19-Pandemie hat der Krisenbegriff Hochkonjunktur. Auch in Debatten rund um den Klimawandel, die Weltwirtschaft und die Frage nach der (In-)Stabilität politischer Systeme ist die Krise ein zentrales Schlagwort. Wissenschaftlich-technisches Wissen wird dabei gerne als Lösungsstrategie hervorgehoben. Zugleich ist Wissen aber selbst in höchstem Maße krisenanfällig. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes untersuchen aus der Perspektive der Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung die komplexe Verbindung zwischen Wissenschaft und Krise. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller und vergangener Entwicklungen diskutieren sie u.a. Praktiken, Utopien, Definitionen und Defizite.
