Das Pulverfass explodiert
1620: Auf dem Weg ins aufständische Böhmen zieht die Katholische Liga durch Österreich. Als Linz den kaiserlichen Truppen kampflos die Tore öffnet, glaubt Floryk Loyal sich und die Seinen vorerst sicher. Doch Söldner nehmen sich, was sie begehren ... In dieser Lage müssen Floryk und Mila entscheiden: Sollen sie zum katholischen Glauben konvertieren oder die Stadt verlassen? In Linz wird es für sie zunehmend gefährlich. Johannes Kepler hat seine Wahl längst getroffen. Er verlässt mit seiner Familie die Stadt, schon um seine Mutter Katharina vor einem württembergischen Gericht verteidigen zu können. Sie ist wegen Hexerei im Haus ihrer Tochter verhaftet worden und schwebt in höchster Gefahr. René Descartes hingegen hat sich von der Katholischen Liga anwerben lassen und erlebt die blutige Schlacht am Weißen Berg vor Prag hautnah mit. Die dramatischen Erlebnisse desillusionieren den jungen Studenten der Kriegskunst für den Rest seines Lebens.

Nazi Cinema's New Women
This book examines the careers of three of Nazi cinema's preeminent movie actresses, painting a unique portrait of mass entertainment and stardom under Nazi rule. Bruns uses undiscovered sources and a new approach, which integrates visual analysis within a thorough political and social context, to trace how the Nazis tried to use films and stars to build National Socialism. This analysis focuses on female stars - an important but largely unexplored area - because they were mostly responsible for Nazi cinema's spectacular commercial success and political failure. Challenging earlier studies, which view Nazi cinema as an effective propaganda instrument that helped turn Germans into devoted "Aryan" mothers and tough warriors, the book shows that the Nazi regime's liaison with the cinema was ambivalent. Films failed to disseminate a coherent political message and to Nazify German society. However, they helped the regime maintain power by diverting people's attention from the brutality of Hitler's rule and, eventually, from impending defeat.

Friendship in Medieval Iberia
Private and public relationships - frequently labelled as friendships - have always played a crucial role in human societies. Yet, over the centuries ideas and meanings of friendship transformed, adapting to the political and social climates of different periods. Changing concepts and practices of friendship characterized the intellectual, social, political and cultural panorama of medieval Europe, including that of thiteenth-century Iberia. Subject of conquests and 'Reconquest', land of convivencia, but also of political instability, as well as of secular and religious international power-struggles: the articulation of friendship within its borders is a particularly fraught subject to study...

Comparative Germanic Syntax
The present volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 23rd and 24th Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop held at the University of Edinburgh and the Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussels. The contributions provide new perspectives on several topics of current interest for syntactic theory on the basis of comparative data from a wide range of Germanic languages. Among the theoretical and empirical issues explored are various ellipsis phenomena, the internal structure of the DP, the syntax-morphology interface, the syntax-semantics interface, Binding Theory, various diachronic developments, and 'do-support'-type phenomena. This book is of interest to syntacticians with an interest in theoretical, comparative and/or diachronic work, as well as to morphologists and semanticists interested in the connections their fields have with syntax. It will also be of interest to graduate and advanced undergraduate students in linguistic disciplines.
