  Nazi Germany’s Conquest of...

  Europe’s attempts to appease Hitler, most notably at Munich in 1938, failed, as Nazi Germany swallowed up Austria and Czechoslovakia by 1939. Italy was on the march as well, invading Albania in April of 1939. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1 of that year. Two days later, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, and World War II had begun in earnest. 
  Of course, as most people now know, the invasion of Poland was merely the preface to the Nazi blitzkrieg of most of Western Europe, which would include Denmark, Belgium, and France by the summer of 1940. The resistance put up by these countries is often portrayed as weak, and the narrative is that the British stood alone in 1940 against the Nazi onslaught, defending the British Isles during the Battle of Britain and preventing a potential German invasion. 
  In particular, the campaign in Poland is remembered as one in which an antiquated Polish army was quickly pummeled by the world’s most modern army. Polish lancers charging in a valiant yet idiotic attack against German tanks is the only image from the 1939 Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland remaining in the popular imagination today. Originating as a piece of Nazi propaganda, paradoxically adopted by the Poles as a patriotic myth, the fictional charge obscures the actual events of September 1939. Outnumbered, outgunned, and under-equipped, the Polish army nevertheless inflicted heavy losses on the invading Wehrmacht. In fact, only the unexpected advance of Soviet forces from the east put a quick end to the struggle and saw the Polish republic partitioned again after just 20 years of independence. Nonetheless, the campaign that started World War II was a bloody sign of things to come as the conflict engulfed the globe.

  Historian, journalist, educator, and civil rights advocate W. E. B. Du Bois was perhaps most accomplished as a sociologist of race relations and of the black community in the United States. This volume collects his most important sociological writings from 1898 to 1910. The eighteen selections include five on Du Bois’s conception of sociology and sociological research, especially as a tool in the struggle for racial justice; excerpts from studies of black communities in the South and the North, including The Philadelphia Negro; writings on black culture and social life, with a selection from The Negro American Family; and later works on race relations in the United States and elsewhere after World War II. This section includes a powerful fiftieth-anniversary reassessment of his classic 1901 article in the Atlantic in which he predicted that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.“ 
   
  The editors provide an annotated bibliography, a lengthy overview of Du Bois’s life and work, and detailed introductions to the selections.

  Sustainable Urban Development -...

  Sustainability in urban contexts represents a pivotal concept in addressing the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and environmental degradation. As cities grow exponentially, they have become both the epicenters of human activity and the focal points of environmental stress. Defining sustainability in the urban realm requires a holistic understanding of how economic, social, and environmental systems can coexist harmoniously within densely populated areas. The essence of sustainable urban development lies in creating cities that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to thrive. 
  Urban sustainability emphasizes the importance of balancing growth and development with environmental stewardship. This involves minimizing the negative impacts of urbanization, such as pollution, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss, while enhancing the quality of life for residents. Sustainable cities are designed to be inclusive, equitable, and resilient, promoting social cohesion and economic vitality alongside ecological preservation. Key principles include efficient resource management, integration of renewable energy, sustainable transportation systems, and the adoption of green infrastructure. 
  Central to this concept is the recognition that cities are complex, interdependent systems. Housing, transportation, energy, water, and waste management are all interconnected elements that must be addressed cohesively to achieve sustainability. For example, designing energy-efficient buildings can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but such efforts must be complemented by policies that encourage renewable energy adoption and sustainable urban planning. Similarly, enhancing public transportation systems can alleviate traffic congestion and reduce emissions while improving accessibility for marginalized communities.
