Douglas County, Nebraska Marriages, 1854-1881
Windsor, Connecticut was one of the three towns that united to form the Colony of Connecticut in the 17th century. A great deal of data concerning Windsor's early inhabitants can be garnered from this work, which is based on records in the possession of the Connecticut Historical Society. By far the largest source transcribed for this publication is the Matthew Grant, or "Old Church," Record, 1639-1681. Comprising the first half of the volume, the Matthew Grant Record consists of several thousand births, marriages, and deaths for Windsor families throughout much of the 17th century. Though not an "official record" of the town, it nonetheless is one of the most important sources of Windsor "v...
Neutralität in der Krise: Die Schweiz zwischen den Kriegen
Die Schweiz – ein neutrales Land im Herzen Europas, umgeben von den Spannungen und Umbrüchen der Zwischenkriegszeit. Doch wie konnte sie in einer Welt der Konflikte und politischen Extreme ihre Neutralität bewahren? Wie reagierte die Schweizer Gesellschaft auf wirtschaftliche Krisen, soziale Herausforderungen und den Aufstieg radikaler Bewegungen? Markus Bisang beleuchtet in Neutralität in der Krise: Die Schweiz zwischen den Kriegen die facettenreichen Entwicklungen einer turbulenten Epoche. Von der politischen Landschaft und diplomatischen Strategie über gesellschaftliche Umwälzungen bis hin zu wirtschaftlichen Anpassungen – dieses Buch bietet eine vielschichtige Analyse der Jahre zwischen 1918 und 1939. Mit klarem Blick zeigt Bisang, wie die Schweiz ihre Identität als neutraler Staat bewahrte und gleichzeitig mit den tiefgreifenden Veränderungen der Zeit Schritt hielt. Eine packende Reise durch Geschichte, die zeigt, wie ein kleines Land seine Werte und Position in einer unruhigen Welt verteidigte. Ein Muss für alle, die sich für Schweizer Geschichte und die Dynamik einer schwierigen Ära interessieren.
The Greenland Entomofauna
In The Greenland Entomofauna an international team of 64 taxonomic specialists provide for the first time a richly illustrated guide to the identification of the ≈1200 species of Hexapods/Insects, Arachnids and Myriapods so far known to occur in the country. While the composition, origin and adaptations of the Greenland fauna has always been a challenge to biogeographers and ecologists/ecophysiologists, the provision of a tool for detailed identification of its constituent species is now particularly timely, since global climate change will expectedly have a particularly noticeable impact on biota at high latitudes. This obviously renders the feasibility of monitoring distributional range ...

The Artificial Ape
A breakthrough theory that tools and technology are the real drivers of human evolution Although humans are one of the great apes, along with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, we are remarkably different from them. Unlike our cousins who subsist on raw food, spend their days and nights outdoors, and wear a thick coat of hair, humans are entirely dependent on artificial things, such as clothing, shelter, and the use of tools, and would die in nature without them. Yet, despite our status as the weakest ape, we are the masters of this planet. Given these inherent deficits, how did humans come out on top? In this fascinating new account of our origins, leading archaeologist Timothy Taylor p...
