Making of a landscape - Lower Saxony
Niedersachsen ist einzigartig: Es reicht vom Meer bis ins hohe Gebirge. Der Photograph Wolfgang Volz zeigt in seinen faszinierenden Bildern die Schönheit und Vielfalt der Landschaft. Sie ist Natur und Kultur zugleich. Hansjörg Küster erklärt in seinen anschaulichen Texten, wie erst durch menschliches Eingreifen Natur zur Landschaft wird.
The Demise of Diversity
Maintaining the natural diversity of the countless species on Earth is of fundamental importance for the continued existence of life on this planet. Nevertheless, ecosystems are being destroyed, as the cultivation of land for agriculture, industry and housing is intensified and oceans continue to be exploited. The Demise of Diversity: Loss and Extinction deals with biodiversity on this planet and the vital importance of sustaining it—nothing less than the future of life on Earth.
Hanover and England
When George I, Elector of Hanover, was crowned King of England in 1714, he established a dynastic union between the two countries that endured until 1837, leaving many cultural and political accomplishments to posterity. The 300th anniversary of this union led the Institute of Landscape Architecture, Technische Universität Dresden, and the Centre of Garden and Landscape Architecture (CGL), Leibniz Universität Hannover, to take a critical look at the gardens that resulted. The symposium “Hanover and England: a union of state and garden / German and British garden culture between 1714 and today” was sponsored by the Lower Saxonian Ministry of Science and Culture. The resulting papers dea...
Am Anfang war das Korn
Der bekannte Ökologe Hansjörg Küster lehrt uns in diesem bedeutenden Buch einen anderen Blick auf die Geschichte der Menschheit: Der Mensch ist, was er sät und erntet. Kultivierung ist der Akt der Menschwerdung schlechthin. Um Kulturpflanzen anzubauen, wurden Menschen sesshaft; sie wurden Bauern, die sich die Erde untertan machten, wie es in der Bibel heißt. Landwirtschaft und Kulturpflanzenanbau entwickelten sich an mehreren Orten der Erde etwa zur gleichen Zeit, aber unabhängig voneinander: in Vorderasien, in Südostasien, an verschiedenen Orten in Afrika, in Mittel- und Südamerika. Um den Anbau von Korn, Hülsenfrüchtlern und Ölpflanzen zu ermöglichen, musste die Umwelt teilweis...
Mensch und Natur
Hansjörg Küster folgt in seinem Essay in Kursbuch 179 dem Zusammenspiel von Natur und Kultur sowie Mensch und Landschaft vom Beginn der Menschheit bis hin zur Gegenwart. Dabei werden gegenseitige Beeinflussung und Abhängigkeit betont. Vor allem der Dreiklang aus Innovation, Ausbeutung und Übernutzung der Natur durch den Menschen steht im Vordergrund und mündet in der Fragestellung nach ihrer zukünftigen Ausrichtung.

Cultural Landscapes and Land Use
Cultural landscapes are created by people, and used by people, but still decidedly rich in biodiversity, and in harmony with nature. The landscapes of fairy tales, without dragons. Socio-economic complexity on top of biological diversity is the challenge nature conservation faces in the context of cultural landscape. This book is an attempt to approach this complexity and provide a theoretical background as well as guidelines and examples for hands-on solutions. It draws on inputs from scientists, administrators, independent consultants and politicians from Europe and the United States. With a particular emphasis on agriculture it attempts to merge disciplines such as philosophy, law, planning, economics and conservation biology toward a common goal: nature conservation and the preservation of biological diversity in landscapes under the pressure of human usage.
The Heirs of the Roman West
In this collection leading international authorities analyse the structures and economic functions of non-agrarian centres between ca. 500 and 1000 A.D. – their trade, their surrounding settlements, and the agricultural and cultural milieux.
