Ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumour on the lateral border of the tongue: Some historical and clinical considerations
The advent of consumer societies in the United Kingdom and West Germany after 1945 led to the mass 'production' of garbage. This book compares the social, cultural and economic fallout of the growing volume and changing composition of waste in the two countries from 1945 to the present through sustained attention to changes in the business of handling household waste. Though the UK and Germany are similar in population density, degrees of urbanis…

Constructing Socialism. Technology and Change in East Germany, 1945-1990
Trabant cars carried many East Germans westward after the Berlin Wall came down in November 1989. The car's 1950s design, obvious environmental incorrectness and all-plastic body became a symbol of the technological limitations of East German communism. But as Raymond G. Stokes points out in this text, eastern Germany in 1945 was one of the most highly developed, technologically sophisticated industrial areas in the world. Despite the evident fai…
Americanization and Its Limits: Reworking U.S. Technology and Management in Postwar Europe and Japan (review)
Rarely do collections such as this live up to their potential, all too often fulfilling only our limited expectations. There may be one or two insightful, or even brilliant, essays, but usually such books are merely an assortment of more-or-less independent essays, lacking coherence and a sense of purpose
Elektrizitatswirtschaft zwischen Umwelt, Technik und Politik: Aspekte aus 100 Jahren RWE-Geschichte, 1898-1998 (review)
The giant German energy concern known as RWE celebrated its centenary in 1998. As part of the celebration, it published a beautiful volume, Der gläserne Riese: RWE, Ein Konzern wird transparent, edited by Dieter Schweer and Wolf Thieme. Although this book included a few essays by professional historians, its primary purpose was not so much scholarship as public relations. The much more modestly produced collection of essays under consideration he…

Autarky, Ideology, and Technological Lag: The Case of the East German Chemical Industry, 1945–1964
The ignominious and total collapse of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in 1989/90 revealed all too clearly the disastrous state of the country's economy, especially in comparison to the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). This fact must not, however, be seen in isolation from another, apparently contradictory one: From the beginning to the end of its existence, the GDR was the shining economic and technological star in the communist firmament …

Divide and Prosper: The Heirs of I. G. Farben under Allied Authority, 1945-1951
Technology and the West German Wirtschaftswunder
By any standard, the West German economy has performed exceedingly well since the beginning of the 1950s. West Germans have enjoyed satisfactory-at times spectacular-growth rates, perennial trade surpluses, a steadily improving standard of living, and low rates of inflation. Recently, growth has subsided somewhat, and unemployment, for many years very nearly nonexistent, has become an intractable problem, but the West German economy remains an ob…

The oil industry in Nazi Germany provides an excellent focus for studying the interplay between economics, politics, and government policy in the Third Reich. In this article, Mr. Stokes brings to this subject a comparative approach, making comparisons both within the oil industry and with the industry's major industrial counterparts. He concludes that a variety of factors—including the degree of shared interest between individual firms and the g…
