Trace Fossils
This book serves as an up-to-date introduction, as well as overview to modern trace fossil research and covers nearly all of the essential aspects of modern ichnology. Divided into three section, Trace Fossils covers the historical background and concepts of ichnology, on-going research problems, and indications about the possible future growth of the discipline and potential connections to other fields. This work is intended for a broad audience of geological and biological scientists. Workers new to the field could get a sense of the main concepts of ichnology and a clear idea of how trace fossil research is conducted. Scientists in related disciplines could find potential uses for trace f...
Schauspielen heute
Das zeitgenössische Theater zeichnet sich durch eine Vielzahl von Schauspielstilen aus. Der Grenzübertritt zwischen Theater, Performance, Tanz, bildender Kunst und der Arbeit mit neuen Medien scheint alltäglich zu sein. Dieser Band nimmt eine Bestandsaufnahme der aktuellen Tendenzen vor und stellt dabei die schauspielerische Arbeit ins Zentrum der Auseinandersetzung. Schauspieler_innen - wie beispielsweise Ulrich Matthes, Lars Eidinger, Petra Hartung und Anne Tismer - geben über ihre Erfahrungen Auskunft und treten mit Wissenschaftlern und Kritikern in einen Austausch darüber, was es bedeutet, allabendlich Fiktionen und Phantasmen einen Körper und eine Stimme zu geben. Schauspielen wird so als ein Prozess der permanenten Selbst- und Neuerschaffung vor Publikum begreifbar, der die Ästhetik des Gegenwartstheaters nachhaltig prägt.
Cicero's Style
Cicero was speaking like everybody, but better than anybody. Far from confining himself to the so-called 'periodic style', Cicero was a master of a thousand shades. This synopsis, followed by examples, shows in detail, why a study of Cicero's style might be rewarding even today.
Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes
The history of biology is populated by numerous model species or organisms. But few vertebrate groups have aided evolutionary and ecological research more than the live-bearing fishes of the family Poeciliidae. Found throughout tropical and subtropical waters, poeciliids exhibit a fascinating variety of reproductive specializations, including viviparity, matrotrophy, unisexual reproduction, and alternative mating strategies, making them ideal models for research on patterns and processes in ecology, behavior, and evolution. Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes is a much-needed overview of the scientific potential and understanding of these live-bearing fishes. Chapters by leading researchers take up a wide range of topics, including the evolution of unisexual reproduction, life in extreme environments, life-history evolution, and genetics. Designed to provide a single and highly approachable reference, Ecology and Evolution of Poeciliid Fishes will appeal to students and specialists interested in all aspects of evolutionary ecology.
The Zoological Record
"Zoological Record is published annually in separate sections. The first of these is Comprehensive Zoology, followed by sections recording a year's literature relating to a Phylum or Class of the Animal Kingdom. The final section contains the new genera and subgenera indexed in the volume." Each section of a volume lists the sections of that volume.
The Ring
A celebratory summary of one of the greatest operatic events at the Royal Opera House in London, The Ring charts the story of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen--the first staging in 1892 through the increasingly controversial productions of the late twentieth century. Each chapter is richly illustrated to evoke the character of the productions and their times.

Welt, Bild, Theater: Politik des Wissens und der Bilder
Der Titel des Buches ruft das alte Konzept des Theatrum Mundiwieder auf. Damit soll nicht nur das Verhältnis von Welttheater undWelterkenntnis in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart in den Mittel-punkt der Diskussion gerückt werden. Gleichzeitig wird eine dritteGröße in dieses Ambivalenzgefüge eingebracht:das Bild. JüngereEntwicklungen in der Bildforschung machen uns heute auf eineerneute Relevanz des Bildes aufmerksam. War unsere Wissenskul-tur seit Beginn der Moderne von der Ordnung der Schrift be-stimmt, erhalten Bilder durch die technischen Verbreitungsmöglich-keiten, welche die digitalen Medien eröffnen, eine neue Wertigkeitals Kategorie des Wissens. Gleichzeitig wird die Macht der Bild...
The Trace-Fossil Record of Major Evolutionary Events
This volume addresses major evolutionary changes that took place during the Ediacaran and the Paleozoic. These include discussions on the nature of Ediacaran ecosystems, as well as the ichnologic signature of evolutionary radiations, such as the Cambrian explosion and the Great Ordovician biodiversification event, the invasion of the land, and the end-Permian mass extinction. This volume set provides innovative reviews of the major evolutionary events in the history of life from an ichnologic perspective. Because the long temporal range of trace fossils has been commonly emphasized, biogenic structures have been traditionally overlooked in macroevolution. However, comparisons of ichnofaunas through geologic time do reveal the changing ecology of organism-substrate interactions. The use of trace fossils in evolutionary paleoecology represents a new trend that is opening a window for our understanding of major evolutionary radiations and mass extinctions. Trace fossils provide crucial evidence for the recognition of spatial and temporal patterns and processes associated with paleoecologic breakthroughs.
