"This book is the definitive volume on the history of chess in Singapore. Covering 1945–1990, it covers the post-war emergence of a truly "local" chess scene out of the colonial period, then taking the story up to the modern era. Contained within these pages are tributes to the modern founding fathers of Singapore chess. Also chronicled within are the careers of Singapore's top players and their achievements. This includes fine team performances (belying Singapore's seeming status in the chess world as a tiny red dot) and spectacular individual successes on the international stage. In documenting chess development in Singapore for the period in question, this book also provides glimpses of a wider social history. Personal stories (based on fresh interviews) are provided that give a sense of the chessplaying milieu of the time. Stalwarts in the chess scene, featured in this book, went on to be notable figures in the wider social and political landscape. A selection of 139 annotated games played by top Singapore-based players and Singapore masters between 1949 and 1990 is matched by a rich collection of more than 200 rare illustrations. This volume is a wonderful resource for chess aficionados, interested amateurs, collectors and historians."--Publisher's website.

Here the author focuses on the territory of the Soviet Occupied Zone (1945-1949) and the German Democratic Republic that emerged from it (1949-1990).

In addition, brief lexical passages are devoted to discussing the history of the Eastern German firms that manufactured large diesel engines for ships in Berlin, Görlitz, Halberstadt, Magdeburg (SKL), Nordhausen, Rosslau, Rostock (DMR) and Schönebeck.

Soviet government in Lithuania was in power almost for a half of century. This system solved urban problems almost in the same way as the rest of the world. However, Soviet power some topics tried to interpret on its own way and some of them simply simulated. Urban design practice and theory were based on the foundation of ideology and socialist economics, so the urban fabric of Klaipėda city was stretched. Anyway, those 45 years were very important for the city. It was a time, when the urban development hasn't stopped. It has left its own landmarks and gave some new impulses. Urban processes of this period, especially connected with port's development, have made a great impact on the plan of city. And some of those processes are still working. Santrauka Tarybų valžia Lietuvoje funkcionavo beveik pusę amžiaus. Nors daugelį urbanistinių problemų ši sistema sprendė panašiai kaip ir visas pasaulis, kai kuriuos dalykus intepretavo savaip, o kai ką tiesiog imitavo. Ideologiniais ir socialistinės ekonomikos argumentais grindžiamos projektavimo disciplinos ir praktika Klaipėdos veidą ištampė kaip kreivas veidrodis. Vis dėl to tie 45 metai Klaipėdai nepaprastai svarbūs. Per juos urbanistinė raida nesustojo, paliko savo ženklų, davė naujų impulsų. Urbanistiniai procesai, ypač susiję su uosto plėtra, miestą pakeitė ir vis dar keičia negrįžtamai. Reikšminiai žodžiai:uostas,miestas,urbanistinė raida,rangas,mastelis,hinterlandas,forelandas.

"The East German Ministry for State Security stood for Stalinist oppression and all-encompassing surveillance. The 'shield and sword of the party, ' it secured the rule of the Communist Party for more than forty years, and by the 1980s it had become the largest secret-police apparatus in the world, per capita. Jens Gieseke tells the story of the Stasi, a feared secret-police force and a highly professional intelligence service. He inquires into the mechanisms of dictatorship and the day-to-day effects of surveillance and suspicion. Masterful and thorough at once, he takes the reader through this dark chapter of German postwar history, supplying key information on perpetrators, informers, and victims. In an assessment of post-communist memory politics, he critically discusses the consequences of opening the files and the outcomes of the Stasi debate in reunified Germany. A major guide for research on communist secret-police forces, this book is considered the standard reference work on the Stasi and has already been translated into a number of Eastern European languages"--Provided by publisher
