Es ist einfach unglaublich. Jahre oder gar Jahrzehnte lang hält man Sachverhalte wie unverrückbare Fixpunkte in seinen Gedanken fest. Doch plötzlich wie aus dem nichts, stellt sich dieser fixierte Sachverhalt als nicht ganz richtig oder vollständig falsch heraus. Eine kleine Welt bricht zusammen. Jedenfalls für einen Moment. Was ist der Grund für diesen Schreckmoment? Eigentlich ist es leicht zu erklären. Es gibt zu dem fixiert geglaubten Sachverhalt neue Informationen. So einfach ist das. Eine neue Technologie, eine neue Informationsquelle oder schlicht eine andere Sicht der Dinge, können ein Grund dafür sein. Was hat das nun mit diesem Buch zu tun, fragen Sie sich jetzt. Geschichte wird von Siegern geschrieben, ist nicht nur ein Spruch, sondern Tatsache. Doch auch Sieger sind nur Menschen und unterliegen Subjektivitäten. So ist es nahe liegend, dass jeder Mensch Geschichten erzählen kann.
Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.

"Usable Social Science represents a remarkable collaboration between Neil J. Smelser, one of America’s most distinguished sociologists, and John Reed, a highly successful member of corporate America. Together, they accomplish an even more remarkable feat of making accumulated social science knowledge accessible to non-academics while, at the same time, making an academic contribution to the social sciences by reviewing the history, accumulated findings, and conceptual approaches in key areas of specialization in sociology and elsewhere in the social sciences."—Jonathan H. Turner, University Professor & Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of California, Riverside. “This boo...
The Heir of Redclyffe tells the story of the Byronic Guy Morville, heir to the Redclyffe baronetcy, and his cousin Philip Morville, a conceited hypocrite who enjoys an unwarrantedly high reputation. When Guy raises money to secretly pay off the debts of his blackguard uncle, Philip spreads the rumour that Guy is a reckless gambler. As a result Guy's proposed marriage to his guardian's daughter Amy is called off and he is disowned by his guardian. Guy bears the situation with a new-found Christian fortitude until the uncle clears his character, enabling him to marry Amy after all.
