Nicholas of Cusa - A Companion to his Life and his Times
This work is a guide to the life, thought and activities of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464), the great fifteenth-century philosopher, theologian, jurist, author of mystical and ecclesiastical treatises, cardinal and reformer. It is intended not only for advanced scholars, but also for beginners and those simply curious about a man who has been called 'one of the greatest Germans of the fifteenth century' and a 'medieval thinker for the modern age'. The book provides a series of detailed but readable essays on ideas, persons, and places, a work developed over the course of nearly three decades. First, it contains articles on the important events and concepts that affected Cusanus--philosophical,...
Plants and People
This first monograph in the EARTH series, The dynamics of non-industrial agriculture: 8,000 years of resilience and innovation, approaches the great variety of agricultural practices in human terms. It focuses on the relationship between plants and people, the complexity of agricultural processes and their organisation within particular communities and societies. Collaborative European research among archaeologists, archaeobotanists, ethnographers, historians and agronomists using a broad analytical scale of investigation seeks to establish new common ground for integrating different approaches. By means of interdisciplinary examples, this book showcases the relationship between people and plants across wide ranging and diverse spatial and temporal milieus, including crop diversity, the use of wild foodstuffs, social context, status and choices of food plants.
Variantenwörterbuch des Deutschen
Das Variantenwörterbuch des Deutschen enthält ca. 12.000 Wörter und Wendungen der Standardsprache mit national oder regional eingeschränkter Verbreitung oder Differenzen im Gebrauch sowie deren gemeindeutsche Entsprechungen. Es basiert auf der Auswertung eines umfangreichen Quellenkorpus aus allen Ländern, in denen Deutsch nationale oder regionale Amtssprache ist, sowie des Internets als Belegquelle. Damit ist erstmals ein Wörterbuch greifbar, das die Variation auf der Ebene der deutschen Standardsprache systematisch und umfassend darstellt. Ein solches Wörterbuch existiert bisher noch für keine andere Sprache. Es kommt für alle Sprachen in Betracht, die sich über mehrere Nationen erstrecken und nationale oder regionale Besonderheiten aufweisen (plurinationale oder plurizentrische Sprachen). Dieses Wörterbuch ist deshalb von grundlegender wissenschaftlicher Bedeutung nicht nur für die deutsche Lexikographie, sondern für die Sprachwissenschaft insgesamt. Es hat großen praktischen Wert u. a. für Übersetzer, Autoren, Lehrer und Lerner des Deutschen, auch für das Fach ‚Deutsch als Fremdsprache', und als Nachschlagewerk für Leser deutschsprachiger Literatur.
One Country, Two Systems, Three Legal Orders - Perspectives of Evolution
“One Country, Two Systems, Three Legal Orders” – Perspectives of Evolution – : Essays on Macau’s Autonomy after the Resumption of Sovereignty by China” can be said, in a short preamble-like manner, to be a book that provides a comprehensive look at several issues regarding public law that arise from, or correlate with, the Chinese apex motto for reunification – One Country, Two Systems – and its implementation in Macau and Hong Kong. Noble and contemporary themes such as autonomy models and fundamental rights are thoroughly approached, with a multilayered analysis encompassing both Western and Chinese views, and an extensive comparative law acquis is also brought forward. Fur...
Nazis on the Run
This is the story of how Nazi war criminals escaped from justice at the end of the Second World War by fleeing through the Tyrolean Alps to Italian seaports, and the role played by the Red Cross, the Vatican, and the Secret Services of the major powers in smuggling them away from prosecution in Europe to a new life in South America. The Nazi sympathies held by groups and individuals within these organizations evolved into a successful assistance network for fugitive criminals, providing them not only with secret escape routes but hiding places for their loot. Gerald Steinacher skillfully traces the complex escape stories of some of the most prominent Nazi war criminals, including Adolf Eichm...
Archaeological and Historical Aspects of West-European Societies
The contents of this volume of essays in his honour gives a good overview of the fields in which Prof. Van Doorselaer has been active throughout his academic career. This book is especially an Album Amicorum, filled with reminiscences and intentions to continue the work. The voluminous size of this book may be considered as an adequate measure of the overall sympathy for Prof. Van Doorselaer. We hope that this publication may encourage him to remain active in the field of archaeology, and that the co-operation among colleagues, stimulated by this project, may be continued in the future.
