The alternate history novel by Volkmar Weiss

The Millenial Empire Artam: The Alternate History 1941-2099. KDP 2020, 332 pages

The first Leader was killed in a plane crash in November 1941 ... the Reich did not declare war on the United States ... history took an alternative course. By 2050, Old Europe was wallowing in the Great Chaos. But
now in 2084, flourishing in the East with its capital city of Reichsburg (formerly Kiev), is the new Reich, Artam, where generations of genetic selection have created a new human race.


The German counterpoint to "The Bell Curve":
 Die IQ-Falle: Intelligenz, Sozialstruktur und Politik. Graz 2000, 2. extended edition, Graz 2021, 328 pages, translation of foreword and epilogue of the second edition

Book review by P. Netter, Department of Psychology, University of Giessen: Personality and Individual Differences 13 (2002) 185-186 - full text -
This is an exceptional book ... . It leaves the protected intellectual field of 'pure science' and extends psychology into the battle field of politics, sociodemographic and economic statistics and statements by promoting ideas which are partly contrary to the present Zeitgeist. ... It is recommended for everybody who engages in intelligence research and wants to convey the idea of the relevance of this concept to all areas of social and political life, and it should be recommended to students of psychology. It would be useful to have an English translation.

Even far better: Die Intelligenz und ihre Feinde: Aufstieg und Niedergang der Industriegesellschaft. Graz: Ares 2012, 544 pages
