Vergessene Legenden
Nach dem Verlust seiner engsten Vertrauten und beruflicher Perspektiven sieht der Handwerksgehilfe Tantruid keinen Sinn mehr im Leben und verlässt sein Dorf. Während das Land von sonderbaren Dämonenräubern terrorisiert wird und die Bürger unter der Steuerlast der Großfürsten zu verarmen drohen, schwindet im Vagabunden die letzte Lebensglut ... Alsdann erscheint ein rätselhafter Fremder in seiner Penne, der vorgibt, ihn zu kennen. Völlig überraschend bietet er Tantruid an, mit einer Holzapparatur namens Gleitschirm gemeinsam eine Schlucht hinabzuspringen. Sollte er sterben, hätte er endlich Frieden. Sollte der Jüngling jedoch lebendig im Tal ankommen, müsse er dem Fremden sein Geleit zu einem geheimen Mönchsorden in ein Schloss in der Wildnis geben. Nach kurzem Zaudern springt Tantruid los. In ein nie für möglich gehaltenes Abenteuer ... (Leseproben und weitere Infos unter www.von-hainrich.de)

Illustrated Slovak History
Little contemporary scholarship on Slovak history exists in English. This title fills an important gap in historiography about events throughout Central Europe over the last fourteen centuries. It presents the history of Slovakia in terms of the latest scholarship and in the context of on-going historical debate about Slovak history and its presentation in post-socialist world. Extensive footnotes by scholars, 350 color illustrations, Index, Bibliography, Foreword and Epilogue.
The Life of Pico
Presented to modern readers in English for the first time in 500 years, The Life of Pico is a biography of one of the Renaissance¿s most famous figures: Giovanni Pico de la Mirandola (1463-94). Given More¿s demanding personal spiritual life, one would assume that More wishes to praise a famous and virtuous man. But what emerges from this book is quite different. Pico turns out to be an extraordinarily virtuous, talented, and wealthy man, but a man nonetheless, who is missing something essential. And so More calls Pico "a very spectacle" of virtue.More sees Pico as very much like himself, as the two turn out to have very similar life experiences. Both carry some scars from difficult or miss...
The Four Last Things
In The Four Last Things, More prescribes frequent meditation on Death, Judgment, Pain and Joy in order to combat the spiritual diseases of pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth.The Supplication of Souls is More's vigorous, humorous, and artful defense of one of the flashpoints of the Reformation: the Catholic dogma of Purgatory. It is his devastating response to a defamatory political tract that claimed that the greed and corruption of English clergymen stemmed from their insistence on being paid to pray for the dead.
Negative Monetary Policy Rates and Portfolio Rebalancing: Evidence from Credit Register Data
We study negative interest rate policy (NIRP) exploiting ECB's NIRP introduction and administrative data from Italy, severely hit by the Eurozone crisis. NIRP has expansionary effects on credit supply-- -and hence the real economy---through a portfolio rebalancing channel. NIRP affects banks with higher ex-ante net short-term interbank positions or, more broadly, more liquid balance-sheets, not with higher retail deposits. NIRP-affected banks rebalance their portfolios from liquid assets to credit—especially to riskier and smaller firms—and cut loan rates, inducing sizable real effects. By shifting the entire yield curve downwards, NIRP differs from rate cuts just above the ZLB.

Banks, Firms, and Jobs
We analyze the employment effects of financial shocks using a rich data set of job contracts, matched with the universe of firms and their lending banks in one Italian region. To isolate the effect of the financial shock we construct a firm-specific time-varying measure of credit supply. The contraction in credit supply explains one fourth of the reduction in employment. This result is concentrated in more levered and less productive firms. Also, the relatively less educated and less skilled workers with temporary contracts are the most affected. Our results are consistent with the cleansing role of financial shocks.
