Tchaikovsky's Empire
A thrilling new biography of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky--composer of some of the world's most popular orchestral and theatrical music "A lively, argumentative and thoughtful reflection on one of the 19th century's most important musical figures."--Michael O'Donnell, Wall Street Journal Tchaikovsky is famous for all the wrong reasons.

Dankbarkeit gilt einerseits als positives Lebensgefühl, andererseits endet sie in der Selbsterniedrigung. Was also macht die Dankbarkeit mit den Menschen? Warum hat sie im Umfeld von Psychologie und Pädagogik wieder Konjunktur? Die emanzipatorische Behindertenbewegung hat in ihren Anfängen mit den Dankbarkeitserwartungen radikal gebrochen und selbstverständliche Rechte gefordert.

Die vorliegende Studie von Nati Radtke und Udo Sierck bietet eine Vielzahl von Originalquellen, Textzitaten sowie nachdenklichen Reflexionen. (Quelle:buchhandel.de).

Landscape Archaeology Between Art and Science
This volume contains thirty-five papers from a 2010 conference on landscape archaeology focusing on the definition of landscape as used by processual archaeologists, earth scientists, and most historical geographers, in contrast to the definition favored by postprocessual archaeologists, cultural geographers, and anthropologists. This tension provides a rich foundation for discussion, and the papers in this collection cover a variety of topics including: how do landscapes change; how to improve temporal, chronological, and transformational frameworks; how to link lowlands with mountainous area.
