Herzog Bernhard von Weimar
Als Herzog Bernhard von Weimar (1604-1639) Ende 1638 die Festung Breisach einnahm, schien es eine Wende im Dreißigjährigen Krieg zu geben. Ihm war ein entscheidender Schlag gegen Habsburg gelungen. Der Herzog selbst wollte sich hier am Rhein und im Elsass eine Territorialherrschaft aufbauen. Bernhard, einer der wichtigsten Militärunternehmer dieses Krieges, agierte zwischen und mit den großen Mächten: Dänemark, Schweden, Frankreich, stets gegen den Kaiser. Ihm ging es um Herrschaft, finanziellen Gewinn, Ruhm, den lutherischen Glauben und die reichsständischen Freiheiten. Die Biographie zeigt den Heerführer und Politiker Bernhard, sie fragt nach der Finanzierung seines Krieges und der Versorgung seiner Weimarischen Armee, nicht zuletzt durch die Eidgenossenschaft, wie nach seinen medialen Strategien. Die ambitionierten Bündnisprojekte des Herzogs, geplante Ehen und seine Verbindungen zu Zeitgenossen wie Hugo Grotius, der Königin von Böhmen oder Herzog Henri de Rohan, dem Hugenottenführer, lassen politische und diplomatische Beziehungsnetze im protestantischen Europa sichtbar werden.
The Legions of Pestilence
In the world the West Virginians of Grantville came from, the borderlands between France and Germany had been a source of turmoil for centuries. In the new universe created by the Ring of Fire, the situation isn't any better. The chaotic condition of the German lands has been ended—for a time, at least. And the near-century long war between Spain and the Netherlands has finally been resolved. But now France is unstable. The defeat of Richelieu's forces in the Ostend War has weakened the Red Cardinal's grip on political power and emboldened his enemies, Foremost among them is King Louis XIII's ambitious younger brother, Monsieur Gaston. An inveterate schemer and would-be usurper, Gaston's r...
Schiller: National Poet – Poet of Nations
To mark the 200th anniversary of Schiller’s death, leading scholars from Germany, Canada, the UK and the USA have contributed to this volume of commemorative essays. These were first presented at a symposium held at the University of Birmingham in June 2005. The essays collected here shed important new light on Schiller’s standing as a national and transnational figure , both in his own lifetime and in the two hundred years since his death. Issues explored include: aspects of Schiller’s life and work which contributed to the creation of heroic and nationalist myths of the poet during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; his activities as man of the theatre and publisher in his own, pre-national context; the (trans-)national dimensions of Schiller’s poetic and dramatic achievement in their contemporary context and with reference to later appropriations of national(ist) elements in his work. The contributions to this volume illuminate Schiller’s achievements as poet, playwright, thinker and historian, and bring acute insights to bear on both the history of his impact in a variety of contexts and his enduring importance as a point of cultural reference.
Clinical Image-Based Procedures. From Planning to Intervention

Alexander Von Humboldt and the United States
The enduring influence of naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt on American art, culture, and politics Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) was one of the most influential scientists and thinkers of his age. A Prussian-born geographer, naturalist, explorer, and illustrator, he was a prolific writer whose books graced the shelves of American artists, scientists, philosophers, and politicians. Humboldt visited the United States for six weeks in 1804, engaging in a lively exchange of ideas with such figures as Thomas Jefferson and the painter Charles Willson Peale. It was perhaps the most consequential visit by a European traveler in the young nation's history, one that helped to shape...
