kultURgeschichten
Der Begriff »KultURgeschichten« bietet vielfältige Lesarten an – und ist doch nicht beliebig. Als Titel einer Festschrift für Ulrich Veit liefert er einen Überblick über dessen Forschungsinteressen, Arbeitsschwerpunkte sowie verschiedene Zugriffe auf Materielle Kultur. Inhaltlich führen die Beiträger*innen theoretische, methodische sowie fachgeschichtliche Perspektiven aus der Ur- und Frühgeschichte mit benachbarten Disziplinen wie der Ethnologie, Philosophie, Soziologie und der Geschichtswissenschaft zusammen und spiegeln damit Veits Fachverständnis einer Archäologie als (historische) Kulturwissenschaft wider.
Roman Religion in the Danubian Provinces
The Danubian provinces represent one of the largest macro-units within the Roman Empire, with a large and rich heritage of Roman material evidence. Although the notion itself is a modern 18th-century creation, this region represents a unique area, where the dominant, pre-Roman cultures (Celtic, Illyrian, Hellenistic, Thracian) are interconnected within the new administrative, economic and cultural units of Roman cities, provinces and extra-provincial networks. This book presents the material evidence of Roman religion in the Danubian provinces through a new, paradigmatic methodology, focusing not only on the traditional urban and provincial units of the Roman Empire, but on a new space taxon...

Pandora's Toolbox
Reaching net zero emissions will not be the end of the climate struggle, but only the end of the beginning. For centuries thereafter, temperatures will remain elevated; climate damages will continue to accrue and sea levels will continue to rise. Even the urgent and utterly essential task of reaching net zero cannot be achieved rapidly by emissions reductions alone. To hasten net zero and minimize climate damages thereafter, we will also need massive carbon removal and storage. We may even need to reduce incoming solar radiation in order to lower unacceptably high temperatures. Such unproven and potentially risky climate interventions raise mind-blowing questions of governance and ethics. Pandora's Toolbox offers readers an accessible and authoritative introduction to both the hopes and hazards of some of humanity's most controversial technologies, which may nevertheless provide the key to saving our world.
