- This volume offers an introduction to German culture and society, and a route-map to further study.

Covering politics, popular culture, private life, cultural institutions and significant events, the entries are fully cross-referenced and assume no prior knowledge, making this an essential reference for students of German culture in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
