Strategies for Sustainability of the Earth System
This volume builds on an international workshop held in 2019, inspired by James Lovelock's "The Revenge of Gaia - Why the Earth Is Fighting Back, and How We Can Still Save Humanity". It, therefore, understands the Gaia concept as an umbrella term for the living world that planet Earth is hosting for nearly 4 billion years. Humankind has intervened in this ecosystem since its emergence on the planet about 2.5 million years ago, often with painful consequences for itself. In its reactions, the Earth system follows only the laws of nature. Consequently, humanity needs to develop strategies for a sustainable Earth system. This volume presents a unique trans- and interdisciplinary variety of approaches to this challenge, offering philosophical considerations as well as practical medical research. It addresses a broad knowledgeable and general audience in environmental management, public administration, and higher education alike.

The Apocalyptic Dimensions of Climate Change
Climate change and the apocalypse are frequently associated in the popular imagination of the twenty-first century. This collection of essays brings together climatologists, theologians, historians, literary scholars, and philosophers to address and critically assess this association. The contributing authors are concerned, among other things, with the relation between cultural and scientific discourses on climate change; the role of apocalyptic images and narratives in representing environmental issues; and the tension between reality and fiction in apocalyptic representations of catastrophes. By focusing on how figures in fictional texts interact with their environment and deal with the consequences of climate change, this volume foregrounds the broader social and cultural function of apocalyptic narratives of climate change. By evoking a sense of collective human destiny in the face of the ultimate catastrophe, apocalyptic narratives have both cautionary and inspirational functions. Determining the extent to which such narratives square with scientific knowledge of climate change is one of the main aims of this book.
Die römische Expansion
Wie wurde Rom zur Weltmacht? Welche Faktoren waren auf diesem Weg ausschlaggebend? Einblick in diese Fragen ermöglicht die vorliegende Publikation, die wirtschafts-, sozial- und militärhistorische Details zu einem Modell der römischen Expansion vereint. Obwohl der Fokus der Analyse chronologisch auf die augusteische Zeit und geographisch auf den Alpen-Donau-Adria-Raum ausgerichtet ist, liegt ihr ein generalistischer Ansatz zu Grunde. Methodisch spannt dieses Buch einen Bogen von klassischen Ansätzen der Geschichtswissenschaft bis hin zu Erkenntnissen aus dem Bereich der experimentellen Archäologie. Die Vielfalt der sich darin widerspiegelnden Eindrücke lässt eine vergangene Welt auferstehen.
