Die Staufer
The Staufers were indisputably one of the most powerful dynasties of the High Middle Ages, and also amongst the most fascinating. Initially as dukes, and later as kings and emperors, they decisively determined the destiny of the Holy Roman Empire and large parts of Europe. This volume recounts the history of the ruling family from its beginnings to the coronation of Frederick Barbarossa as emperor. Long reigns enabled the Staufers to plan and exert their influence strategically during this epoch. At the same time, however, they repeatedly faced substantial challenges due to far-reaching social changes & such as the rise of the nobility, the bishops and the new urban upper classes, as well as the continuing conflict between the secular and ecclesiastical powers. Wolfgang Stürner skilfully combines these complex developments into a concise overall presentation.

The Social Politics of Medieval Diplomacy
Late nineteenth- and twentieth-century political and intellectual boundaries have heavily influenced our views of medieval Germany. Historians have looked back to the Middle Ages for the origins of modern European political crises. They concluded that while England and France built nation-states during the medieval era, Germany--lacking a unified nation-state--remained uniquely backward and undeveloped. Employing a comparative social history, Huffman reassesses traditional national historiographies of medieval diplomacy and political life. Germany is integrated into Anglo-French notions of western Europe and shown to be both an integral player in western European political history as well as...
Charles Darwin's Natural Selection
Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species is unquestionably one of the chief landmarks in biology. The Origin (as it is widely known) was literally only an abstract of the manuscript Darwin had originally intended to complete and publish as the formal presentation of his views on evolution. Compared with the Origin, his original long manuscript work on Natural Selection, which is presented here and made available for the first time in printed form, has more abundant examples and illustrations of Darwin's argument, plus an extensive citation of sources.
Medieval Cologne
In Anglophone literature, historical questions about urban, socio-economic, political, religious, and cultural development have often been answered using Anglo-French, Anglo-Low Countries, and Anglo-Italian paradigms and sources. Medieval Germany has been largely overlooked, seen as a peripheral and irrelevant anomaly. Conversely, scholars from the German Rhineland have mostly remained within the traditions of civic public history and Landesgeschichte. As a result, they rarely engage with the historical questions raised in wider European discourses. This volume challenges these historiographical propensities by offering a fresh perspective on medieval urban Germany. It aims to integrate Cologne and the Rhineland more accurately and equitably into the wider histories of medieval Europe. The book engages with historical questions of wider relevance across both German and European medieval histories. It invites all scholars and students of medieval Europe to utilize Cologne as a key source for their research and writing.
