Appreciating Local Knowledge
In the light of the globalization, (post-)modernization, social fragmentation, and economization of many of today’s living contexts, local knowledge is receiving increasing attention in various sciences. Commonly, local knowledge indicates a counterpart to both rational forms of an explicit knowledge of facts and knowledge of universal validity. Local knowledge attempts to appreciate a more comprehensive view of people’s skills, capabilities, experience, and sophistication. On the other hand, the reference to ‘local’ implies an idea of bounded applicability of knowledge in a specific environment. Beyond this scope of application, local knowledge can be acknowledged either as instrume...
Baltic Light
During the first half of the nineteenth century, Danish and German artists studying in Paris and Rome brought back the concept of "plein air" painting and began to paint out-of-doors on their native soil. They introduced a whole new aesthetic that was sensitive to the light and atmospheric conditions peculiar to the north, especially during the long summer days. This beautiful book focuses on the painters and paintings of this period, particularly Caspar David Friedrich, who produced many fine works before he developed the romantic style for which he is better known. The book presents topographical landscapes, panoramas, and some group and individual portraits that often include a window fro...

The re-emergence of co-housing in Europe
Across Europe, the number of co-housing initiatives is growing, and they are increasingly receiving attention from administrators and professionals who hold high expectations for urban liveability. Is co-housing a marginal idealist phenomenon, or the urban middle class’ answer to the current housing crisis? And has the development of theoretical insight and research kept up with the actual expansion of co-housing as a practice? These questions were raised during the first European conference on co-housing research, which took place in Tours, France, in March 2012. Both the conference and this book aim to move beyond case-studies, and to look more particularly at the implications and wider ...
1810-1813
Der dritte Band der Briefe an Pestalozzi umfasst die Jahre 1810 bis 1813 und enthält über 600 Briefe. Sie zeigen, wie Pestalozzis Methode in den verschiedenen Staaten Europas (Preussen, Russland, Italien, England) Interesse erregt, geben Einblick in die ersten grösseren Krisen innerhalb der Organisation des Instituts, und sie machen deutlich, wie hoch die Nachfrage nach Ausbildungsplätzen für Schüler und Lehrer aus dem In- und Ausland war. Zudem berichten enge Mitarbeiter Pestalozzis in langen Briefen von ihren Erfahrungen mit der Methode im Ausland. In der Schweiz kann der Titel über die Neue Zürcher Zeitung bezogen werden.
Souvenirs from High Places
Concurrent with mountaineering's development began as a popular leisure-time pursuit in the Alps and before climbing became the high-tech, intense sport it is today -- photography began its evolution into a favorite activity as well. This parallel growth created the distinct genre of mountaineering photography. As much a history of mountaineering as a history of photography, Souvenirs from High Places offers a fascinating collection of images from both ground-breaking photographers and amateur enthusiasts that demonstrate not only how much has changed, but how much has remained the same.
