Dictionary of Contemporary Germany

These alphabetical reference guides have been compiled to give up-to-date information on all aspects of each country-explanations of terms that are outside the scope of a standard dictionary or encyclopedia-including acronyms, political and legal institutions, cultural phenomena, social welfare programs, industrial concerns, media, literary and political personalities, and much more.
Each Dictionary has been compiled by two people-a native of the individual country and an English-speaking collaborator from either Great Britain or the United States. Readers are thus assured of authoritative information that is rendered in terms comprehensible to English-language readers. The Dictionaries will prove invaluable to researchers, librarians, and students.
