Die Zulieferindustrie für Kraft- und Luftfahrzeuge war das eigentliche Rückgrat der nationalsozialistischen Rüstungs- und Kriegswirtschaft. Auf der Basis vielfach neu erschlossener Quellen aus dem Archiv wie verschiedenen Registraturbeständen von Continental wird die Entwicklung des Gummi- und Reifenunternehmens in der NS-Zeit erstmals umfassend untersucht. Ausgehend von der schleichenden Transformation der Unternehmenskultur und der Entwicklung Continentals zu einem NS-Musterbetrieb wird eingehend die Unternehmenspolitik im Kontext des nationalsozialistischen Vierjahresplans und die Radikalisierung der Produktionsprozesse mit Zwangsarbeit und Expansion in die besetzten Gebiete im Verlauf des Krieges untersucht. Es handelt sich dabei aber auch um eine vergleichende Geschichte, da unter anderem auch die später zum Continental-Konzern hinzugekommenen Unternehmen Phoenix sowie Teves und VDO, die hydraulische Präzisionssteuergeräte für das Heer und die Luftwaffe entwickelt haben, mituntersucht werden. Denn mit dem Kauf und der Übernahme eines Unternehmens wird auch dessen Geschichte mit allen Höhen und Tiefen miterworben, die dann gleichsam Teil einer neuen Konzerngeschichte werden. Obschon inzwischen zahlreiche Untersuchungen zu Unternehmen im Dritten Reich erschienen sind, bietet die vorliegende Studie eine Reihe neuer Erkenntnisse und Untersuchungsaspekte.

Although a regular occurrence for millions of women, menstruation is typically represented in US culture as an illness or a shameful episode--to the benefit of an entire industry. Elizabeth Kissling reveals how corporations capitalize on long-standing negative attitudes about menses to sell solutions for nonexistent problems. The commercialization of menstruation, Kissling acknowledges, has in many ways been positive: women embrace readily available, reasonably priced, and easy-to-use products with good reason. But it has also been one of the worst things to happen to women. Documenting how industry advertising portrays women as "the weaker sex," Kissling explores the profound gender bias inherent in--and reinforced by--the business of menstruation.

The Delft Prototype is a single apartment from a not yet realized Concept House Urban Villa, which consists of 16 apartments on 4 floors. Both the urban villa and the prototype demonstrate the characteristics of high level industrial production with an extremely low ecological footprint, as well as being energy-positive in use, and both are suitable for multi-storey housing. The research, development, production and built prototype resulted in a unique innovation on the Dutch building market: a sustainable energy-positive apartment system for medium-rise energy-positive housing. This scientific report deals with the history, development and realization process of the prototype up to the completion of the building phase, after which the prototype was furnished and the garden landscaped, culminating with the opening of the prototype in October 2012. The development was initiated by Mick Eekhout’s Chair of Product Development at the TU Delft at the specific request of the building industry and was carried out in close collaboration with a consortium of partners from the SME building supply industry. Innovation continues to progress in these partner industries. The entire project was externally financed for the 8 years of its duration. Apart from initiative and natural project leadership, the innovative contribution of the Chair included the design, coordination and integration of the many components into the single coherent entity of the Concept House ‘Delft’ Prototype.
