Dollfussby Johannes Messner; John Zmirak; Dr. Alice von Hildebrand
IHS Press 2003; US$ 12.95Introduced in this book is Englebert Dollfuss, the Austrian hero who plotted a course for Austria against Nazism, against Socialism, and against unbridled capitalism until his assassination by the Nazis in 1934.

Vienna in the Age of Uncertaintyby Deborah R. Coen
University of Chicago Press 2008; US$ 30.00Vienna in the Age of Uncertainty traces the vital and varied roles of science through the story of three generations of the eminent Exner family, whose members included Nobel Prize–winning biologist Karl Frisch, the teachers of Freud and of physicist Erwin Schrödinger, artists of the Vienna Secession, and a leader of Vienna’s women’s movement.

Vienna in the Age of Uncertainty... more...
