Painting on Light
The names Albrecht Dürer and Hans Holbein the Younger evoke the dazzling accomplishments of Renaissance panel painting and printmaking, but they may not summon images of stained glass. Nevertheless, Dürer, Holbein, and their southern German and Swiss contemporaries designed some of the most splendid works in the history of the medium. This lavish volume is a comprehensive survey of the contribution to stained glass made by these extraordinarily gifted draftsmen and the equally talented glass painters who rendered their compositions in glass. Included are discussions of both monumental church windows and smaller-scale stained-glass panels made for cloisters, civic buildings, residences, and...

The German Chemical Industry in the Twentieth Century
In the twentieth century, dyes, pharmaceuticals, photographic products, explosives, insecticides, fertilizers, synthetic rubber, fuels, and fibers, plastics, and other products have flowed out of the chemical industry and into the consumer economies, war machines, farms, and medical practices of industrial societies. The German chemical industry has been a major site for the development and application of the science-based technologies that gave rise to these products, and has had an important role as exemplar, stimulus, and competitor in the international chemical industry. This volume explores the German chemical industry's scientific and technological dimension, its international connections, and its development after 1945. The authors relate scientific and technological change in the industry to evolving German political and economic circumstances, including two world wars, the rise and fall of National Socialism, the post-war division of Germany, and the emergence of a global economy. This book will be of interest to historians of modern Germany, to historians of science and technology, and to business and economic historians.
Knowledge and Competitive Advantage
A comparison of the development of the synthetic dye industry in Europe and the US.
Molecular World
A compelling and innovative account that reshapes our view of nineteenth-century chemistry, explaining a critical period in chemistry’s quest to understand and manipulate organic nature. According to existing histories, theory drove chemistry’s remarkable nineteenth-century development. In Molecular World, Catherine M. Jackson shows instead how novel experimental approaches combined with what she calls “laboratory reasoning” enabled chemists to bridge wet chemistry and abstract concepts and, in so doing, create the molecular world. Jackson introduces a series of practice-based breakthroughs that include chemistry’s move into lampworked glassware, the field’s turn to synthesis and...
Malerei, Musik und textile Künste in Frauenstiften des späten Mittelalters
Der vorliegende Band ist die letzte Veröffentlichung des DFG-Netzwerkes Forum für Frauenstiftsforschung. Er präsentiert Beiträge von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, die sich im Zuge der dritten Tagung gezielt auf die Suche nach Malerei, Musik und textilen Künsten in Frauenstiften des späten Mittelalters gemacht haben. Einschlägige Gegenstände, Formen und Gattungen wurden so im Hinblick auf die Frage neu untersucht, was für Frauenkonvente spezifisch war – hinsichtlich der Fertigung, der Stiftung, der Performanz oder auch der Rezeption. Der Zyklus von 1456 in St. Ursula wird in diesem Band erstmals vollständig farbig abgedruckt, die Stiftungen der Familie Hirtz dort werd...
