Concentration Camps : A Global History
In popular perception concentration camps are synonymous with genocide.In fact, the great majority of concentration camps were not sites of genocide.This book shows they were a global phenomenon, with an astonishing range of functions.It asks why they were invented in the twentieth century, not before.Their origin on the colonial periphery raises questions about continuities from imperial warfare to political repression under authoritarian dictatorships and to the contemporary world.Concentration camps are a transnational phenomenon, emerging in learning processes simultaneously (within and between imperial spheres-Britain, Spain, the USA, and Germany around 1900), and diachronically (from then to the First World War, the Gulag, and Nazi camps).Discussing concentration camps not solely in the context of Auschwitz and genocide sometimes encounters strong emotional resistance; the notion that camps had functions other than mass murder seems like breaching a taboo.This sense of shock will spark curiosity for the argument that camps existed (and exist) under a variety of regimes, including at times democratic powers.They are often concomitant with empire-building by revolutionary dictatorships, used as sites of performative violence, and also as central elements of utopian schemes of social and racial transformation.The book contextualizes them with other carceral institutions, and integrates the perspective of perpetrators and the victims.It will reshape the way we think about concentration camps as part of modern civilization, past and present.

One Long Night : A Global History of Concentration Camps
For over 100 years, at least one concentration camp has existed somewhere on Earth.First used as battlefield strategy, camps have evolved with each passing decade, in the scope of their effects and the savage practicality with which governments have employed them.Even in the twenty-first century, as we continue to reckon with the magnitude and horror of the Holocaust, history tells us we have broken our own solemn promise of "never again."In this harrowing work based on archival records and interviews during travel to four continents, Andrea Pitzer reveals for the first time the chronological and geopolitical history of concentration camps.Beginning with 1890s Cuba, she pinpoints concentration camps around the world and across decades.From the Philippines and Southern Africa in the early twentieth century to the Soviet Gulag and detention camps in China and North Korea during the Cold War, camp systems have been used as tools for civilian relocation and political repression.Often justified as a measure to protect a nation, or even the interned groups themselves, camps have instead served as brutal and dehumanizing sites that have claimed the lives of millions. Drawing from exclusive testimony, landmark historical scholarship, and stunning research, Andrea Pitzer unearths the roots of this appalling phenomenon, exploring and exposing the staggering toll of the camps: our greatest atrocities, the extraordinary survivors, and even the intimate, quiet moments that have also been part of camp life during the past century.

Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.
