54 ans après avoir fui l'Allemagne, Käthe, d'origine juive, retourne à Berlin et tente de récupérer un immeuble familial confisqué par les nazis. Quelques jours après son arrivée, elle est retrouvée morte au pied d'un mémorial de la déportation. Sa nièce, Maja, qui ne croit pas à la thèse du suicide retenue par la police, soupçonne un vaste complot immobilier. Elle décide de mener une enquête au cours de laquelle elle va rencontrer des personnes au passé trouble ou douloureux. Mené comme un thriller, cette intrigue policière haletante permet de découvrir un vaste pan de l'histoire du XXe siècle : l'attitude des juifs sous le nazisme, la spoliation des biens juifs, Israël et le conflit avec la Palestine, les exactions du régime communiste en RDA et la difficile réunification de l'Allemagne.
Entre victime et bourreau, la frontière est parfois mince... Une enquête haletante sur les exactions du régime allemand, entre passé et présent.
This book aims to provide reader an overview of clinical applications of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in hepatic neoplasms diagnosis. Ultrasound images and pathological results of different hepatic neoplasms are introduced in the chapters, including benign liver tumors, malignant liver tumors, hepatic carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, rare liver benign and malignant neoplasms, regenerative nodules, inflammatory pseudotumor, parasite liver lesions, and hepatitis peliosis, etc. The combination of ultrasound findings with final histopathological results then discover the potential mechanical of contrast enhancement changes. With the development of ultrasound technology and widely application of ultrasound contrast agents (USCA) in recent decades, contrast-specific imaging modalities have been developed in combination with USCA and a low mechanical index (MI), allowing continuous real-time grey scale imaging. The updated contrast-specific software for liver diseases and hepatic tumors diagnosis has also been described described in detail. With high-resolution contrast ultrasound images during arterial phase, portal venous phase and late phase, author wants to show the whole dynamic wash-in and wash-out process of the different focal liver lesions.This book is an invaluable resource for radiologists, hepatologists and oncologists in their everyday clinical practice.
This book deals with the connection between media and the future. It is about the imagination of futuristic media and what this says about the present, but it also shows how media are imagined as means to control the future. The book begins by describing different theories of the evolution of media and by exploring how this evolution is tied to expectations regarding the future. The authors discuss the theories of imagination and how the imagination of media futures operates. To do so, they analyse four concrete examples: the imaginations once related to interactive television and how they were performed in an important piece of media art; those on "ubiquitous computing," which remain present today; those on three-dimensional, especially holographic, displays that are prevalent everywhere in cinema, and lastly the contemporary imaginations on quantum computing and how they have been enacted in science fiction. The book appeals to readers interested in the question of how our present imagines its technological futures.
The late 20th century was a formative phase in the history of digital media culture. The introduction of "new media" was associated with promises for the future that still resonate today. This book brings together contributions that discuss key aspects of the "imaginaries" surrounding new media in this epoch. The focus is on the works of the media artist group Van Gogh-TV, especially the historically very important interactive television project "Piazza virtuale" (1992).
