Book Description
The letters are worn thin from rereading and sharing with family and friends, and age has discolored them. As you read the letters, you will relive the war experience in the details of the Rawert familys everyday lives, love, worry, concern, faith, pride, and neighborhood news of a typical American family during the war. The correspondence between the Rawert family of Schnitzelburg in Louisville, Kentucky, and their son, who served in the US Army far from home and at the European front shortly after D-day, convey the high price that the troops and their families paid during wartime from 19421944. The letters reveal such detail as Im writing this letter from the hole I sleep in. PFC Norbert Rawert, HQ 59th Signal Battalion wrote this on July 3, 1944, from somewhere in France. He continues, Its about six feet long and about 2 feet deep. Its not the most comfortable place in the world but it might be one way to keep from getting a Purple Heart. Its pretty cozy though. I got my bed roll on the bottom and my tent over the top. The only thing is, I dont know who is going to give it up, me or this ground mole. He sticks his ass out and I gave him a boot and he crawls back into his own hole. Ha. Then in about an hour hes digging back out again. This book is an ideal choice for those who want to know more about daily life in the 1940s on and off the battlefield during WWII.

Book Description
Having met with resistance in his attempts to reform the clergy in his native Xanten, Norbert (ca. 1080-1134) founded a religious community in France. His establishment was the first house of an eventually hugely successful order, the Canons Regular of Premontre, also known as the Premonstratensians or Norbertines. Although Norbert, who was appointed archbishop of Magdeburg in 1126, left no writings, his followers produced many important texts in their efforts to reform a lax and demoralized clergy. Yet, despite these authors' significance to the spirituality of their age, their words and their historical context are little-known to modern readers. This volume renders audible the voices of the twelfth-century followers of Norbert, presenting the most important early Premonstratensian texts (including two versions of the Vita Norberti), along with an introductory essay describing their place in twelfth-century religious life. Book jacket.

Book Description
Norbert Wiener's celebrated autobiography, available for the first time in one volume. Norbert Wiener—A Life in Cybernetics combines for the first time the two volumes of Norbert Wiener's celebrated autobiography. Published at the height of public enthusiasm for cybernetics—when it was taken up by scientists, engineers, science fiction writers, artists, and musicians—Ex-Prodigy (1953) and I Am a Mathematician (1956) received attention from both scholarly and mainstream publications, garnering reviews and publicity in outlets that ranged from the New York Times and New York Post to the Virginia Quarterly Review. Norbert Wiener was a mathematician with extraordinarily broad interests. The son of a Harvard professor of Slavic languages, Wiener was reading Dante and Darwin at seven, graduated from Tufts at fourteen, and received a PhD from Harvard at eighteen. He joined MIT's Department of Mathematics in 1919, where he remained until his death in 1964 at sixty-nine. In Ex-Prodigy, Wiener offers an emotionally raw account of being raised as a child prodigy by an overbearing father. In I Am a Mathematician, Wiener describes his research at MIT and how he established the foundations for the multidisciplinary field of cybernetics and the theory of feedback systems. This volume makes available the essence of Wiener's life and thought to a new generation of readers.

Book Description
This book presents key conceptualizations of violence as developed by Norbert Elias. The authors explain and exemplify these concepts by analyzing Elias’s late texts, comparing his views to those of Sigmund Freud, and by analyzing the work of filmmaker Michael Haneke. The authors then discuss the strengths and shortcomings of Elias’s thoughts on violence by examining various social processes such as colonization, imperialism, and the Brazilian civilizing process—in addition to the ambivalence of state violence. The final chapters suggest how these concepts can be used to explain difficulties in implementing democracy, grappling with memories of violence, and state building after democracy.
