Die Deutschen

Die Deutschen, Fifth Edition is a reader for second and Third-year German Civilization courses. It looks at German culture both historically and in the present day. The reader consists of three parts: the geography, history, and culture of Germany. The chapter readings are accompanied by pre-and post-questions on the text as well as grammar review exercises. Expansion exercises in the back of the book are designed to sharpen cultural insights and grammar skills. In its fifth edition, Die Deutschen has been updated to reflect recent changes in Germany, such as the continuous healing process of a reunited nation, the status of the country as a member of the European Union, the change of political leadership, the coming of the Euro, and much more.
