The provocative, audacious, brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel that has unquestionably been the main event of contemporary European literature. It has earned favorable comparisons to its obvious literary forebears "A la recherche du temps perdu" and "Mein Kampf"Nbut has been celebrated as the rare magnum opus that is intensely, addictively readable.
This classic text outlines the development of the Papacy as an institution in the Middle Ages. With profound knowledge, insight and sophistication, Walter Ullmann traces the course of papal history from the late Roman Empire to its eventual decline in the Renaissance. The focus of this survey is on the institution and the idea of papacy rather than individual figures, recognizing the shaping power of the popes' roles that made them outstanding personalities. The transpersonal idea, Ullmann argues, sprang from Christianity itself and led to the Papacy as an institution sui generis.

InThe Division of Christendom, revered historian Hans J. Hillerbrand details the events and ideas of the sixteenth century and contends that the Protestant Reformation must be seen as an interplay of religious, political, and economic forces in which religion played a major role. Hillerbrand tells the fascinating story of the ways in which theological disagreements divided the centuries-old Christian church and the roles that leading characters such as Luther, Zwingli, Anabaptists, and Calvin played in establishing new churches, even as Roman Catholicism continued to develop in its own ways. The book covers all significant aspects of this period and interprets these important events in their own context while reflecting on the consequences of the Reformation for later periods and for today.
The Trentepohliales are a unique group of green algae, about which not much information has been previously published. The first chapter of this book includes descriptions and keys to all its genera. The book's primary purpose, however, is to facilitate the identification of taxa in the epiphytic tropical and subtropical genera Cephaleuros, Phycopeltis and Stomatochroon. The book includes descriptions and keys to 41 species and one variety in the three genera. These keys are based on the literature and the authors' light and electron microscope observations of materials collected throughout the world. The taxonomy, morphology, and ecology of each species form the heart of this book. Original descriptions with drawings and micrographs are included; there are 60 plates with 265+ illustrations. The book will be useful not only to phycologists but also plant pathologists and ecologists as a milestone study on the Trentepohliales.
Offers a thorough examination of the philosophy of literature, looking at the place of literature in human culture, what literature can be defined as and much more.
