Universities in Imperial Austria 1848–1918
Combining history of science and a history of universities with the new imperial history, Universities in Imperial Austria 1848–1918: A Social History of a Multilingual Space by Jan Surman analyzes the practice of scholarly migration and its lasting influence on the intellectual output in the Austrian part of the Habsburg Empire. The Habsburg Empire and its successor states were home to developments that shaped Central Europe's scholarship well into the twentieth century. Universities became centers of both state- and nation-building, as well as of confessional resistance, placing scholars if not in conflict, then certainly at odds with the neutral international orientation of academe.

Eduard Suess
Dieser Band ist Eduard Sueß (1831–1914) nicht primär als Geologen gewidmet, sondern fasst den Rahmen weiter. In den schönen Künsten vollzieht sich in der Zeit zwischen Biedermeier und Sezession ein dramatischer Wandel. Vergleichbar entwickeln sich in diesem Zeitraum, der die Lebensspanne von Eduard Sueß abdeckt, die Erdwissenschaften: beginnend mit den ersten flächendeckenden staatlichen Landesaufnahmen, der Etablierung erdwissenschaftlicher Lehrkanzeln an den Universitäten über das Hofmineralienkabinett, das in dieser Periode eine zuvor nie gekannte Blütezeit erlebt, bis zum Aufkommen »mobiler Theorien« wie der Deckenlehre und der Kontinentaldrift. Mit großem Weitblick hat Sueß viele dieser Entwicklungen direkt oder indirekt initiiert und wesentlich mitgetragen. Dieser Band stellt Eduard Sueß' Wirken in den wesentlichen geologischen Institutionen Österreichs ebenso dar wie seine Interaktion mit den bedeutendsten Erdwissenschaftlern des In- und Auslandes.
