"Nothing New But 'Abortive Gasp'“ portrays the short-lived, controversial Hamburg electro-industrial band Abortive Gasp (1987–1989). Founded by Harry Luehr (instruments) and Tim Paal (vocals) with rotating guests, they stood out for their high improvisation – unusual in the electronic scene. Their sound mixed early dub, parodies of Front 242/Ministry, and ironic-anarchic elements. As "Hamburg Bunker Bands“ (with Girls Under Glass), they played clubs like Kir or Stairways near the Schanzenviertel Flakbunker – a refuge from scene hostility.

In the 18th Century, young English gentlemen would embark on Grand Tours - educational journeys to foreign climes, absorbing the sights, sounds and stories that defined them. But we get it - you’re busy. These days, all you need to see the world is a pair of headphones.

Though extremely different men in most ways, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Third Reich Fuhrer Adolf Hitler shared a passion for science, technology, and (sometimes impractical) "wonder weapons." In some cases, this fixation paid off handsomely, as in the case of British centrimetric radar, a compact, powerful radar type that enabled fitment to individual aircraft and contributed to the defeat of German U-boats.

Although the Counter-Reformation is sometimes also called the Catholic Reformation, the latter term properly refers to the set of measures of spiritual, theological and liturgical renewal with which the Catholic Church had attempted to reform its institutions even before the Council of Trent. During the Council of Constance, for example, the council fathers had already called for a reform "in the head and in the members", but it was only after the Protestant Reformation that this need became urgent, resulting in the application of the Tridentine conciliar provisions.

Schon vor mehr als 300 Jahren gewöhnten sich die Deutschen an das Leben in der Welt des Kolonialismus.

Private Unternehmer hatten die Voraussetzungen dafür geschaffen. An der Härte, mit der viele Europäer ihre Interessen durchsetzten, hatte die Abschaffung der Sklaverei im Lauf des 19. Jahrhunderts nur wenig geändert.

The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country–a land of opportunity–they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book–the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians–tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors.
