Crossing Frontiers
This volume brings together two very popular and active research fields: Swiss Studies and Intercultural Studies. It includes contributions on the movement of ideas, literatures, and individuals from one culture to another or one language to another, and the ways in which they have been either assimilated or questioned. All of the writers explore this general theme; some come from a literary angle, some look at linguistic inventiveness and translation, whilst others study the problems faced when crossing geographical and cultural borders or presenting ideas which do not `travel¿ well. By emphasising the connections, borrowings and mutual influences between Switzerland and other countries su...
»Vorn die Ostsee, hinten die Friedrichstraße« / »Z przodu Bałtyk, z tyłu Friedrichstraße«
Dieser Band dokumentiert die Jahrestagung der Kurt Tucholsky-Gesellschaft 2016, die sich – wie in geraden Jahren üblich – der biographischen Spurensuche widmete. In der damals pommerschen Metropole Stettin hat die Familie Tucholsky zwischen 1893 und 1899 gelebt. Die Tagung, ausgerichtet in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Germanistischen Institut der Universität Szczecin, widmete sich neben der Kinderzeit Tucholskys, die er im damaligen Stettin verbrachte, auch seiner problematischen Mitarbeit am deutschen Propagandablatt »Pieron«, mit dem im Vorfeld der Volksabstimmung 1921 für den Verbleib Oberschlesiens in Deutschland »geworben« wurde und schlug einen Bogen zur Gegenwart des heutigen deu...

This volume brings together two very popular and active research fields: Swiss Studies and Intercultural Studies. It includes contributions on the movement of ideas, literatures, and individuals from one culture to another or one language to another, and the ways in which they have been either assimilated or questioned. All of the writers explore this general theme; some come from a literary angle, some look at linguistic inventiveness and translation, whilst others study the problems faced when crossing geographical and cultural borders or presenting ideas which do not ‘travel’ well. By emphasising the connections, borrowings and mutual influences between Switzerland and other countries such as Germany, Hungary, France, the UK, and the Americas, the articles reaffirm the importance for Switzerland of intellectual openness and cultural exchange.
Groundwater Vulnerability and Pollution Risk Assessment
This volume offers detailed comparisons and validations of different methods of assessing groundwater vulnerability (DRASTIC, GOD, PI, RTt, AVI, SINTACS, COP). It contains new aspects of vulnerability assessment for the evaluation of coastal aquifer vulnerability and aquifer vulnerability to methane gas leakage from shale gas wells. The book also contains the results of studies on intrinsic and specific vulnerability assessment (migration of antibiotics and nitrate, groundwatersurface water interaction), with examples of the different national approaches to groundwater vulnerability mapping in Poland, Ireland, Italy and elsewhere. There are 15 chapters derived from two IAH conferences held in Ustron ́, Poland in 2015 and 2018. The book is valuable for those interested in groundwater vulnerability, in risk assessment, and in environmental issues. It is aimed at land use planners, water managers, the environmental industry, regional and local environmental protection councils and students studying hydrogeology and environmental sciences.

Bürgerkrieg global
Die deutschsprachige Gegenwartsliteratur ist welthaltiger, innovativer und kosmopolitischer als die Kritik des wahrhaben will. Innerhalb der postkolonialen und globalen Tendenzen der internationalen Literatur überraschen die Romane aus den deutschsprachigen Ländern durch ihr seismographisches Erfassen von Krisen aus unterschiedlichen Kontinenten, die im Zeitalter der Globalisierung auch die heimische Kultur betreffen. Zum Beispiel die Bürgerkriege der letzten Jahrzehnte mit ihren Menschenrechtsverletzungen und zivilisatorischen Verwüstungen: Es sind die Romanschriftsteller, die durch das Erzählen individueller Schicksale differenzierte Einblicke in die persönlichen und gesellschaftlich...
The Vegetation of Poland
International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Biology, Volume 9: The Vegetation of Poland focuses on the plant geography of Poland, including climate, hydrography, geology, and ecology. The selection first offers information on the historical outline of the development of plant geography and the factors affecting the geographical distribution of plants in Poland. Discussions focus on the development of phytogeographical cartography, floristic and ecological plant geography, and the climate, boundaries, land-relief, hydrography, and geology of Poland. The text then ponders on the influence of man and his economic activities on the vegetation of Poland and the floristic statistics and...
