Reviews

For historians of Germany and of the sciences as well as of Jews in that culture, this book provides important new insights into the way highly educated German-speaking Jews reflected upon and responded creatively to their very specific historical situation, ca. 1870-1914. -- SHOFAR, Vol. 18. No. 2, 2010
