The New Biography looks at the life stories of eight famous women in nineteenth-century France who became public figures even though they lived in a society that did not encourage women to speak out publicly. All of these women-activists, writers, and philosophers-became controversial figures who challenged conventional notions of femininity in their time. By showing how these women deliberately created their public lives, Jo Burr Margadant and her colleagues demonstrate the rich rewards of the new methods in biography. In her introduction Margadant gives a brilliant explanation of the new biography and how it fits into recent and current debates about the writing of history. Each essay that follows connects the lives of the women it discusses with major themes in French history. The famous activist Flora Tristan, the feminist journalist Marguerite Durand, and a leading advocate of birth control, Nelly Roussell, are just a few of the fascinating women brought to life in this book. Because these stories often expose the cracks in what has been seen as a monolithic separation of gendered spheres in nineteenth-century bourgeois France, they challenge historians to rethink assumptions about the history of this period. The New Biography thus joins a body of work that brings women from the margins of the historical record into history's mainstream

Begrenzte fossile Reserven und der wachsende Bedarf aufstrebender Volkswirtschaften schaffen Unsicherheiten über die künftige Energieversorgung. Nicht zuletzt die rekordhohen Energiepreise in den Jahren 2007 und 2008 weckten Befürchtungen über eine bevorstehende Knappheit fossiler Energien und damit einhergehende internationale Konflikte um deren Verteilung. Energie ist daher nicht nur im Fokus der Wirtschafts- und Klimapolitik, sondern vermehrt auch der Sicherheits- und Aussenpolitik. Doch in der Schweiz fehlt eine kohärente Energiestrategie. Viele Ansätze vernachlässigen den internationalen Kontext sowie die Funktionsweise der Märkte. Die neue Avenir-Suisse-Publikation schliesst diese Lücke. Das Buch plädiert für eine rationale und den internationalen Gegebenheiten angepasste Energiepolitik. Gleichzeitig liefert es die ökonomischen Grundlagen für eine fundierte energiepolitische Diskussion.
