It took nearly thirty years for a forgotten box of cassette tapes, mislaid in an abbey in Austria, to be brought to light. On these tapes, recorded in 1985, the voice of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) walks his listeners, with small, careful steps, through the thick terrain of contemporary theology. Now, after decades, these lectures have been dusted off, transcribed, and published for readers across the globe. The Divine Project is a study of God the Creator and of man as this Creator's masterpiece. "Ratzinger", as Professor Matthew Levering writes, "guides us through the most difficult domains of modern theology and modern life: how to read the Bible; the Reason of God and the reasonableness of the cosmos; the meaning of original sin; technology, ecology, and creatureliness; the Cross and the Eucharist; and Vatican II, pluralism, the Magisterium, and the nature of the Church." This once-forgotten work offers a short and accessible tour of the whole theological world of Joseph Ratzinger, one of the most important minds of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

This volume reports on a series of fieldwork projects carried out in the Tregurra Valley, to the east of Truro, Cornwall between 2009-2015. The fieldwork led to the identification of a large number of pits and hearths across the site, the majority of which that have proved dateable spanning the Early Neolithic to the end of the Early Bronze Age.

"Pre-Astronautics versus Science" allows a daring look through a state-of-the-art lens at archaeological finds and modern theories. This book is an invitation to think beyond the textbook and explore the hidden chapters of our history. It is for the curious, the skeptics, and the visionaries – for all who are ready to delve into the mysteries of our existence. Step into another world where the inexplicable meets the quest for truth, and the paths of facts and speculation cross. As Horst Kaltenhauser said: "Speculation is the spark that ignites the fire of research." Join us on an exciting journey and discover a world full of fascinating possibilities.
Diese Studie zeigt das Potential einer Analyse archäologischer Fundzusammenhänge: Räumliche und soziale Kontextualisierungen ermöglichen aufschlussreiche Einblicke in die komplexen materiellen Kulturen adeliger Haushalte und in die zeitgenössische Nutzung von Burgarealen. Leicht veränderbare, nicht-ortsfeste Elemente der Innenausstattung – die meist in Form archäologischer Funde überliefert sind – stellen eine wichtige Quelle zur funktionalen Analyse von Räumen dar. Besonderes Potential für die Untersuchung von Raumfunktionen und Ausstattungsmustern auf Adelssitzen liegt dabei in der Interpretation des Zusammenspiels architektonischer und archäologischer Spuren. Im Fokus dieser Untersuchung stehen daher aus archäologischen Fundkontexten erschließbare Depositionsbedingungen, Gebrauchskontexte und Bezüge zu Objekten, Personen oder Räumen.
The Viking Age was a period of profound change in Scandinavia. As kingdoms were established, Christianity became the encompassing ideological and cosmological framework and towns were formed. This book examines a central backdrop to these changes: the economic transformation of West Scandinavia. With a focus on the development of intensive and organized use of woodlands and alpine regions and domestic raw materials, together with the increasing standardization of products intended for long-distance trade, the volume sheds light on the emergence of a strong interconnectedness between remote rural areas and central markets. Viking-Age Transformations explores the connection between legal and e...
In the 13th century, the monarchs of the Přemyslid dynasty, whose territory overlapped with that of the present-day Czech Republic, were increasingly affected by the dismal state of the Crown's finances. As a result, the Přemyslids initiated intensive silver exploitation, among other means to ensure income. This book's objective, based on interdisciplinary research, is therefore to describe and present the structure of mining and metallurgical areas in the kingdom of Bohemia, as well as to examine and identify how ore mining and metallurgy shaped and interacted with settlement organization and the medieval landscape.
