Polnische Aufständische in Ost- und Westpreußen (1831-1833)
Um den Novemberaufstand in Polen (1830-1831), der mit einer Niederlage endete, rankt sich eine romantische Legende. Die letzten Etappen dieser Freiheitserhebung ereigneten sich in Ostund Westpreußen, diesen “vergessenen” Provinzen des preußischen Staates. Hier traf die geschlagene polnische Armee ein, hier mussten die Militärmitglieder über ihre Rückkehr ins Heimatland bzw. den Aufbruch in die Emigration entscheiden. Für viele Offiziere und Soldaten begann von hier aus der Weitermarsch nach Frankreich, begleitet vom begeisterten Empfang im liberalen Deutschland, von Polenvereinen und Polenliedern. Die meisten Internierten optierten für die Rückkehr ins Heimatland. Dort lebten ihr...
Ideas of the Founders on Constitutional Government
The political ideas of John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other Founders of the United States have been a rich civic legacy for successive generations of citizens. An important means of ensuring that these ideas on constitutional government continue to inspire and guide people in the 21st century lies in the curricula of secondary schools. Students need exposure to the constitutional thought of the Founders, and the documents that contain the Founders' ideas, if they are to be expected to think critically about these ideas in order to identify and maintain the best of them and to modify and improve upon the rest of them.

Remediation
A new framework for considering how all media constantly borrow from and refashion other media. Media critics remain captivated by the modernist myth of the new: they assume that digital technologies such as the World Wide Web, virtual reality, and computer graphics must divorce themselves from earlier media for a new set of aesthetic and cultural principles. In this richly illustrated study, Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin offer a theory of mediation for our digital age that challenges this assumption. They argue that new visual media achieve their cultural significance precisely by paying homage to, rivaling, and refashioning such earlier media as perspective painting, photography, film, and television. They call this process of refashioning "remediation," and they note that earlier media have also refashioned one another: photography remediated painting, film remediated stage production and photography, and television remediated film, vaudeville, and radio.

Spirituality and Ageing
Spirituality and Ageing presents the experience of ageing as an opportunity for spiritual reflection and affirmation of life. The contributors are religious and spiritual leaders and ethical thinkers from a range of different backgrounds. They define 'spirituality' not just as a religious concept but as the fulfilment of the universal human need for purpose, values and relationships - a sense of wholeness in life. This spiritual dimension helps people face the emotional and psychological challenges of growing older, such as memory loss, dementia, bereavement and fear of death. Existing systems of social care often focus on the material and physical needs of older people; this collection proposes that the spiritual needs of older people are as vital a consideration for their welfare. Through their spirituality, older people can attain a fuller appreciation and understanding of life, which can also inform and enrich the lives of others.Spirituality and Ageing will be an invaluable resource to carers looking for a holistic and more reflective approach to work with older people.
