Japanese "new religions"shinshūkyō have used various media forms for
training, communicating with members, presenting their messages, reinforcing or protecting 
the image of the leader and potentially attracting converts. In this book, the complex and dual 
relationship between the media and new religions is investigated by looking at the tensions 
groups face between the need for visibility and the risks of facing attacks and 
criticism through the media. Indeed, media and new technologies have been extensively 
used by religious groups not only to spread their messages and to try to reach a wider audience, 
but also to promote themselves as a highly modern and up-to-date form of religion appropriate for a 
modern technological age. In the 1980s and early 1990s, some movements, such as Agonshū, Kōfuku no 
Kagaku and Aum Shinrikyō, came into prominence especially via the use of media (initially pub- 
lications, but also ritual broadcasts, advertising campaigns and public media events). This created 
new modes of ritual engagement and new ways of inter- actions between leaders and members. The aim 
of this book is to develop and illustrate particular key issues in the wider new religions and 
media nexus by using specific movements as examples. In particular, the analysis of the inter- 
action between media and new religions will focus primarily on three case studies 
predominantly during the first period of development of the groups.

Tweets and the Streets analyses the culture of the new protest movements of the 21st century. From the Arab Spring to the 'indignados' protests in Spain and the Occupy movement, Paolo Gerbaudo examines the relationship between the rise of social media and the emergence of new forms of protest. Gerbaudo argues that activists' use of Twitter and Facebook does not fit with the image of a 'cyberspace' detached from physical reality. Instead, social media is used as part of a project of re-appropriation of public space, which involves the assembling of different groups around 'occupied' places such as Cairo’s Tahrir Square or New York’s Zuccotti Park. An exciting and invigorating journey through the new politics of dissent, Tweets and the Streets points both to the creative possibilities and to the risks of political evanescence which new media brings to the contemporary protest experience.

This works describes an approach to lane-precise localization on current digital maps. A particle filter fuses data from production vehicle sensors, such as GPS, radar, and camera. Performance evaluations on more than 200 km of data show that the proposed algorithm can reliably determine the current lane. Furthermore, a possible architecture for an intuitive route guidance system based on Augmented Reality is proposed together with a lane-change recommendation for unclear situations.

In the last two decades a large amount of previously secret documents on Jewish issues emerged from the newly opened Communist archives. The selection of these papers published in the volume and stemming mostly from Hungarian archives will shed light on a period of Jewish history that is largely ignored because much of the current scholarship treats the Shoah as the end of Jewish history in the region. The documents introduced and commented by the editor of the volume, András Kovács, will give insight into the conditions and constraints under which the Jewish communities, first of all, the largest Jewish community of the region, the Hungarian one had to survive in the time of the post-Stalinist Communist dictatorship. They may shed light on the ways how “Jewish policy” of the Soviet bloc countries was coordinated and orchestrated from Moscow and by the single countries. The archival material will prove that the ruling communist parties were restlessly preoccupied with the “Jewish question.” This preoccupation, which kept the whole issue alive in the decades of communist rule, explains to a great extent its open reemergence in the time of transition and in the post-communist period.
