Austrian Philosophy Past and Present
This book is about Austrian philosophy leading up to the philosophy of Rudolf Haller.

Arts and Cultural Education in a World of Diversity
This volume gathers, analyses, discusses and evaluates results of current research on arts and cultural education in Europe, focusing on the challenges of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is an increasingly characteristic feature of contemporary societies. Groups with different ethnic, social or cultural backgrounds coexist, interact and merge. The challenges of cultural diversity – its innovative potential as well as tensions and conflicts – are reflected in transnational discourses on education, culture, democracy, and citizenship. Transcultural approaches, multicultural education, and intercultural learning are key concepts. The same challenges are reflected in arts and cultural education within and outside schools, in teachers’ and artists’ training, cultural and educational policies, and research. The thirteen chapters in this book report on nine countries represented in the European Network of Observatories in the Field of Arts and Cultural Education (ENO). They showcase good practices in research and teaching, foster the exchange of experiences, stimulate researchers and stakeholders and give insights into their professional practices.

Into the Fire
'I tore through it' Erin Kelly 'Perfect storytelling' Victoria Selman 'A wicked plot' The Times Eleven guests. Three nights. One murderer. In a stately mansion in the Hertfordshire countryside, sisters Lois and Ebba throw a launch party for their new venture: Archipelago, a virtual reality game. In attendance are their celebrity investors including a glamorous British couple, a brooding Swedish financier, a Dutch banker and his film star wife, and a controversial politician. But beneath the glamorous surface, there are sordid secrets that include steamy affairs, deals in dirty money and anonymous death threats. So when eight of the guests are involved in a helicopter crash, it quickly becomes clear that it was no accident. It was murder. 'Sizzles with suspense' Jane Isaac 'Gripping and beautifully told' Clare Empson 'Held me in a tight grip' Caroline Green 'Intelligent, modern and richly textured' Dominic Nolan
Leopold von Andrian (1875-1951)
Der osterreichische Schriftsteller und Diplomat Leopold von Andrian (1875-1951) wurde bislang vor allem als Autor eines Kultbuches des Wiener Fin de Siecle, "Der Garten der Erkenntnis", und als Freund Hugo von Hofmannsthals rezipiert. Die Auswahledition von Tagebucheintragungen, Essays, politischen Berichten sowie Briefen von und an Andrian beleuchtet allerdings die verschiedenen Felder, auf denen sich Andrian bewegte: seine Rolle als Akteur auf dem diplomatischen Parkett zwischen 1900 und 1918 in Rio de Janeiro, Athen, St. Petersburg, Bukarest und Warschau sowie sein kulturpolitisches Engagement als Intendant der k. k. Hoftheater. Die Konzeption einer ruckwarts gewandten Osterreich-Utopie a...
