Party-Voter Linkage in Africa
Parties in Africa are often described as organisationally and programmatically weak. On the other hand, they mobilise substantial numbers of voters at election time. This contradiction provokes an interesting question: How do political parties in Africa relate to the society? How do they mobilise their voters and sympathisers, and which strategies do they employ? Anja Osei analyses how parties in Ghana and Senegal adapt to their local context by employing locally embedded strategies.
War, the State and International Law in Seventeenth-Century Europe
One of the great paradoxes of post-medieval Europe, is why instead of bringing peace to a disorganised and violent world, modernity instead produced a seemingly endless string of conflicts and social upheavals. Why was it that the foundation and institutionalisation of secured peace and the rule of law seemed to go hand-in-hand with the proliferation of war and the violation of individual and collective rights? In order to try to better understand such profound questions, this volume explores the history and theories of political thought of international relations in the seventeenth century, a period in which many of the defining features and boundaries of modern Europe where fixed and codif...
Minutes and Correspondence of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 1812-1924
Ever since its foundation in 1812, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila. has preserved manuscript documents even after the information has been published. The secretaries, curators, librarians, editors & other officers of the Academy had all cached such papers somewhere for posterity. These holdings were largely brought together by Edward Nolan for his history to celebrate the 100th anniversary. He had hoped to have his long history published & presented as a memorial at that time. When funds were not available for printing, the ¿Short History¿ listed in the bibliography was used instead. The materials published here in microfilm form have always been locked away in the Academy¿s hall & always remained in the custody of the librarian.
Discovering the Ice Ages
Tobias Krüger explores the discovery of the Ice Ages, how the idea was received, and what further research it stimulated. The approach used in Discovering the Ice Ages is uniquely sweeping. The contemporary debates on the subject are compared from an international perspective. Krüger retraces the arguments advanced from the middle of the 18th century to the threshold of the 20th century. The positions held by defenders of the glacial theory as well as those by its most important opponents are set within the context of the then current understanding of geology. In an interdisciplinary overview Krüger then focuses on the impetus gained from early ice-age research. The most prominent examples worth mentioning are the discovery of trace gases and the greenhouse effect.

Briefwechsel I (1788-1801)
Der Band enthält die in Arnims Kindheit und Jugend, während seiner Schul- und Universitätsjahre bis zum Beginn der Bildungsreise überlieferten sowie erschlossenen Briefe von ihm (107) und an ihn (94) mit Erläuterungen. Außerdem werden Stammbuch-Eintragungen und Kontextdokumente ediert. Ein erheblicher Teil der Brief- und sonstigen Texte wird erstmals oder erstmals vollständig nach Handschriften gedruckt: 14 von Arnim, 88 von anderen. Wäre die Ausgabe auf die Briefe Arnims beschränkt, wüßte man kaum die Hälfte von dem über ihn, was sich aus dem gesamten Briefwechsel ergibt. Die mit ihm korrespondierenden Naturwissenschaftler verschiedener Disziplinen hatten großenteils wegweisen...
