Gemeinschaftsunternehmen Naturforschung
Die Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin, im Jahre 1773 als Aufklarungsgesellschaft gegruendet, forderte durch das Sammeln von Naturobjekten und das Wissen darueber die Naturgeschichte als Wissenschaft. Ihr ungewohnlicher Name wurde dabei zum Programm, dem ein moderner, interessegeleiteter Freundschaftsbegriff zu Grunde lag. Zudem zeigt die Gesellschaft viele strukturelle und ideelle Parallelen zur Freimaurerei. Kennzeichen ihrer langjahrigen Geschichte ist die Entwicklung eines Traditionsbewusstseins, das seinen Ursprung im Forschungsziel der Naturgeschichte hat und in der kulturellen Praxis der Gesellschaft nachgewiesen werden kann.

Handbook on Sustainable Investments: Background Information and Practical Examples for Institutional Asset Owners
A fast growing share of investors have recently widened their scope of analysis to criteria regarded as extra-financial. They are driven by different motivations. Adoption of sustainable investment strategies can be driven, on the one hand by the sole motivation to hedge portfolios against knowable risks by expanding the conceptual framework to incorporate the latest best practice in risk management. Other investors focus rather on a long-term view and make an active bet on societal change. Recent empirical research has shown that considering sustainability factors within investment practices does not come at a cost (i.e. through a reduced opportunity set) but allows for competitive returns. Furthermore, the growing market and resulting competition in the wake of sustainable investing going mainstream has the welcome effect to compress fees for such products. Hence, staying informed about recent trends in sustainable investing is imperative no matter what the main motivation is.

He was also a remarkable personality, perhaps the only important man in Europe who was able to keep his head through the incredible ferment of ideas and beliefs that permeated the age; he never yielded to ext...
Religious Context of Early Christianity
This is a uniquely well-informed and comprehensive guide to the world of religion in the Graeco-Roman environment of early Christianity. Drawing on the most up-to-date scholarship, the volume paints a carefully nuanced portrait of the Christians' religious context. Besides describing ordinary domestic and civic religion and popular belief (including astrology, divination and 'magic'), there is extended discussion of mystery cults, ruler and emperor cults, the religious dimensions of philosophy, and Gnosticism. A valuable textbook for advanced students, as well as an authoritative reference work for scholars.
Baiae
Pontano was the most innovative, versatile Latin poet of Quattrocento Italy. His Two Books of Hendecasyllables, subtitled Baiae, are the elegant offspring of Pontano's leisure, written to celebrate love, good wine, friendship, nature, and all the pleasures of life to be found at the seaside resort of Baiae on the Bay of Naples.
