Pragmatic Evolution
Of what use is evolutionary science to society? Can evolutionary thinking provide us with the tools to better understand and even make positive changes to the world? Addressing key questions about the development of evolutionary thinking, this book explores the interaction between evolutionary theory and its practical applications. Featuring contributions from leading specialists, Pragmatic Evolution highlights the diverse and interdisciplinary applications of evolutionary thinking: their potential and limitations. The fields covered range from palaeontology, genetics, ecology, agriculture, fisheries, medicine, neurobiology, psychology and animal behaviour; to information technology, education, anthropology and philosophy. Detailed examples of useful and current evolutionary applications are provided throughout. An ideal source of information to promote a better understanding of contemporary evolutionary science and its applications, this book also encourages the continued development of new opportunities for constructive evolutionary applications across a range of fields.
Wilhelm II
Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) ruled Imperial Germany from his accession in 1888 to his enforced abdication in 1918 at the end of the First World War. This book, based on a wealth of previously unpublished archival material, provides the most detailed account ever written of the first half of his reign. Following on from John Röhl's definitive and highly acclaimed Young Wilhelm: The Kaiser's Early Life, 1859-1888 (1998), the volume demonstrates the monarch's dynastic arrogance and the wounding abuse he showered on his own people as, step by step, he built up his personal power. His thirst for glory, his overweening nationalism and militarism and his passion for the navy provided the impetus ...
The Legacies of Two World Wars
The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was done mainly, if one is to believe US policy at the time, to liberate the people of Iraq from an oppressive dictator. However, the many protests in London, New York, and other cities imply that the policy of “making the world safe for democracy” was not shared by millions of people in many Western countries. Thinking about this controversy inspired the present volume, which takes a closer look at how society responded to the outbreaks and conclusions of the First and Second World Wars. In order to examine this relationship between the conduct of wars and public opinion, leading scholars trace the moods and attitudes of the people of four Western countries (Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy) before, during and after the crucial moments of the two major conflicts of the twentieth century. Focusing less on politics and more on how people experienced the wars, this volume shows how the distinction between enthusiasm for war and concern about its consequences is rarely clear-cut.

Die Herrschaft Kronenburg und ihre Erträge um 1780
Im Jahre 1781 ließ Gräfin Augusta von Sternberg-Manderscheid die Einnahmen und Ausgaben in ihren Eifeler Territorien erfassen. Sie ordnete an, dass in jeder Herrschaft ein Ertragsverzeichnis angefertigt werden solle. Das geschah kurz darauf auch in der Herrschaft Kronenburg. Das damals entstandene Dokument hat sich bis heute erhalten. Es bietet einen interessanten Einblick in die Art und Weise, wie der Adel des Alten Reiches seine Güter bewirtschaftete. Die Aufstellung listet die Einkünfte auf, die das gräfliche Haus von den Untertanen bezog, und nennt die Ausgabeposten, die bei der Wirtschaftsführung anfielen. Ergänzt um Kommentare und Erläuterungen, wird die Ertragsübersicht für die Herrschaft Kronenburg in der vorliegenden Edition erstmals vorgestellt.
