This book provides the first systematic description of the linguistic accommodation of Moravian migrants in Bohemia. By analyzing the linguistic behaviour of 39 university students from different parts of Moravia living at a hall of residence in Prague, the author investigates part of an unsubstantiated and ideologically motivated dialect contact hypothesis according to which in informal, everyday communication Moravians in Bohemia accommodate not in the direction of the standard dialect but to Common Czech, a non-standard interdialect that is spoken throughout Bohemia. The study combines a quantitative analysis of six linguistic variables with an ethnographic study of informants’ linguistic and social behaviour. A primary objective of the study is to identify the impact of various social criteria on informants’ acquisition of Common Czech forms.

Propaganda Postcards of the Luftwaffe focuses on the efforts of the powerful Nazi propaganda machine to promote the technical achievements and might of the then newly created German air force. The Luftwaffe had been announced to the world in March 1935, despite the restrictions contained in the Versailles Treaty signed after the First World War denying Germany the right to develop military aircraft. All major aircraft types used by the Luftwaffe together with many lesser known, obscure and secondary types are represented in this book. There is a section covering the main figures of the Luftwaffe and the leading aces who flew the aircraft. The German Air and Propaganda ministries worked together and, using professional photographers produced quality images, which were then made available to the general public in an attempt to inspire the nation and create strong moral.

Kniha Hitlerovo alpské útočiště poskytuje jedinečnou příležitost prohlédnout si krajinu, stavby (většinou dávno zničené) a „Vůdcovy“ blízké společníky v atmosféře doby. Každá ze skvostných dobových fotografií zaznamenává jedinečný dějinný okamžik, který by jinak navždy zmizel pod nánosem času.V dravém využívání nových metod k šíření svého politického poselství mezi lidmi neměli nacisté obdoby. Proto se ve třicátých letech stal i z obyčejné pohlednice účinný prostředek získávání srdcí i myslí německých občanů. James Wilson v této jedinečné knize dokazuje za použití 271 původních německých pohlednic a fotografií ze své soukromé sbírky, jak byla Hitlerova posedlost překrásnou a za normálních okolností pokojnou bavorskou horskou krajinou v okolí Berchtesgadenu používána k vytváření působivého, leč naprosto klamného obrazu jeho hrůzného režimu. Z prosté alpské chaty Wachenfeld, kterou si Hitler pořídil roku 1933, se postupem času stal Berghof, jižní sídlo vládce Třetí říše, které co do významu předčilo pouze Berlín.
