Journey Around Lake Constance
Highlighting one of the largest lakes in Central Europe, this guide explores Lake Constance, demonstrating how it holds great appeal in both its fantastic setting in the northern foothills of the Alps and its splendid cultural landscape. The magnificent backdrop of the Appenzell Alps is captured as well as the peaks of the Bregenz Forest and the Alpine summits of the Allgäu. The lake's eleven islands are detailed, including Reichenau—now a UNESCO World Heritage Site—the city island of Lindau, and the famous floral isle of Mainau.

Lake Constance
Lake Constance, located along the Swiss-German Border is a large and deep lake of of 183 sq-mi. area (11.3 cubic mi of water!) with well established boundary conditions. Because Lake Constance has been the subject of scientific study for more than a century, it is one of the best studied lakes worldwide. This volume documents, integrates and interprets a large body of new hydrodynamic, chemical, paleolimnological and microbiological data with data on plankton and fish ecology. The data were mostly collected between 1979 and 1997 as part of an interdisciplinary research program funded by the German Research Council (DFG). The twenty-six contributions to this volume highlight the advantage of interdisciplinary approaches to problems which in the past were commonly considered to be essentially biological in nature.

To what extent is an apparently place-dependent cultural form such as theatre affected by the processes of cultural globalisation? Through detailed analysis of theatrical case studies from Lake Con...
