Maximilian Hell (1720–92) and the Ends of Jesuit Science in Enlightenment Europe
The Viennese Jesuit court astronomer Maximilian Hell was a key figure in the eighteenth-century circulation of knowledge. He was already famous by the time of his celebrated 1769 expedition for the observation of the transit of Venus in northern Scandinavia. However, the 1773 suppression of his order forced Hell to develop ingenious strategies of accommodation to changing international and domestic circumstances. Through a study of his career in local, regional, imperial, and global contexts, this book sheds new light on the complex relationship between the Enlightenment, Catholicism, administrative and academic reform in the Habsburg monarchy, and the practices and ends of cultivating science in the Republic of Letters around the end of the first era of the Society of Jesus.

A hagyományos világ átváltozásai
A Magyar Királyságnak és az Erdélyi Nagyfejedelemségnek egy új európai rendezést (utrechti béke, 1713) követően – a Német-Római Birodalmon belül, a török kiűzése, a Thököly Imre, majd a II. Rákóczi Ferenc vezette Habsburg-ellenes felkelés és szabadságharc után – vesztett helyzetben kellett elkezdenie az ország újjáépítését. Úgy, hogy az Európa nyugatibb feléről érkező modernizálási szándék ambivalens érzések mentén és csak részben valósult meg. A mindenki által üdvözölt változások mellett ugyanis a külső hatalom kiterjesztésének nem is nagyon leplezett kísérlete, sokszor gyakorlata visszatetszést keltett azokban a vezetőkben ...

The State of Nature: Histories of an Idea
Listen to the New Books Network Podcast! The phrase, “state of nature”, has been used over centuries to describe the uncultivated state of lands and animals, nudity, innocence, heaven and hell, interstate relations, and the locus of pre- and supra-political rights, such as the right to resistance, to property, to create and leave polities, and the freedom of religion, speech, and opinion, which may be reactivated or reprioritised when the polity and its laws fail. Combining intellectual history with current concerns, this volume brings together fourteen essays on the past, present and possible future applications of the legal fiction known as the state of nature. Contributors are: Daniel S. Allemann, Pamela Edwards, Ioannis D. Evrigenis, Mary C. Fuller, David Singh Grewal, Francesca Iurlaro, Edward J. Kolla, László Kontler, Grant S. McCall, Emile Simpson,Tom Sparks, Benjamin Straumann, Karl Widerquist, Sarah Winter, and Simone Zurbuchen.

The Battle of Mohács, 1526
The story of the battle of Mohács and of King Louis II’s dramatic escape, only to meet his end by falling from his horse and drowning in the stream of Csele, is well-known. These traumatic events have been seen as symbolizing the fall of the independent Hungarian Kingdom and the dawn of an age of oppression. This volume presents new research on these events and their interpretation, focusing on topics such as battlefield reconstruction, troop involvement, firearm use, and later political use and abuse of the memory of the battle. Contributors are Pál Fodor, Péter Gyenizse, Erika Hancz, Máté Kitanics, Sándor Konkoly, Dénes Lóczy, Tamás Morva, Norbert Pap, Júlia Papp, Gábor Szalai, and Gábor Varga.
