Orthopädie im Wandel
Ein rundes Jahrhundert haben Orthop�die und Orthop�den gebraucht, um sich als medizinische Wissenschaftsdiziplin und fach�rztlicher Berufsstand zu etablieren. Dieser Entwicklung nachzugehen und dabei den Wandel, aber auch die Kontinuit�ten - v.a. im Hinblick auf die �pr�mature� handwerklich-laikale Spezialisierung des beginnenden 19. Jahrhunderts - einsichtig zu machen, ist das Ziel des vorliegenden Buches. Erstmals wird hier das historische Quellenmaterial nicht nur umfassend pr�sentiert, sondern es werden bei dessen Interpretation auch - bislang noch weitgehend unbeachtet gebliebene - wissenschaftstheoretische und wissenschaftssoziologische Deutungsmuster genutzt. Dies erm�glicht neue Schlu�folgerungen, die die Vielfalt der Entwicklungsfaktoren beruecksichtigten, ohne aus Gruenden der Modellbildung einen wesentlichen Teil auszublenden.

Studies in Coptic Culture
Coptic contributions to the formative theological debates of Christianity have long been recognized. Less well known are other, equally valuable, Coptic contributions to the transmission and preservation of technical and scientific knowledge, and a full understanding of how Egypt's Copts survived and interacted with the country's majority population over the centuries. Studies in Coptic Culture attempts to examine these issues from divergent perspectives. Through the careful examination of select case studies that range in date from the earliest phases of Coptic culture to the present day, twelve international scholars address issues of cultural transmission, cross-cultural perception, representation, and inter-faith interaction. Their approaches are as varied as their individual disciplines, covering literary criticism, textual studies, and comparative literature as well as art historical, archaeo-botanical, and historical research methods. The divergent perspectives and methods presented in this volume will provide a fuller picture of what it meant to be Coptic in centuries past and prompt further research and scholarship into these subjects.

Iconophages
An unprecedented art-historical account of practices of image ingestion from ancient Egypt to the twentieth century Eating and drinking images may seem like an anomalous notion but, since antiquity, in the European and Mediterranean worlds, people have swallowed down frescoes, icons, engravings, eucharistic hosts stamped with images, heraldic wafers, marzipan figures, and other sculpted dishes. Either specifically made for human consumption or diverted from their original purpose so as to be ingested, these figured artifacts have been not only gazed upon but also incorporated—taken into the body—as solids or liquids. How can we explain such behavior? Why take an image into one’s own bo...

Kafka
The eagerly anticipated final volume of the award-winning, definitive biography of Franz Kafka How did Kafka become Kafka? This eagerly anticipated third and final volume of Reiner Stach's definitive biography of the writer answers that question with more facts and insight than ever before, describing the complex personal, political, and cultural circumstances that shaped the young Franz Kafka (1883–1924).
