Cultivating the City in Early Medieval Italy
Demonstrates how food-growing gardens in early medieval cities transformed Roman ideas and economic structures into new, medieval values.
The Architecture of Modern Italy
The history of design in Italy is explored in this authoritative and comprehensive work. Design periods include the era of Piranesi, the eclecticism of the 19th century, the futurism of the early 20th century, the dogmatic fascism of the interwar period, the designs of Pier Luigi Nervi and on to the present day.
Cities and Cultural Landscapes
Places are locations of value where psychological and cultural needs are satisfied. Human relationships with particular environments play a key role in motivating, developing, and nurturing the life of societies. Undifferentiated space becomes ‘place’ as we understand it better and its built and natural forms become endowed with value. However, misunderstanding the critical importance of heritage locations, particularly based on rejection of local and regional distinctiveness, has often led to their destruction. Featuring essays from across central Europe and beyond, and aimed at practitioners, decision makers and concerned citizens alike, this book raises awareness about the responsibility that we bear for every action taken that modifies the formal and socio-cultural context. Potentially, these actions can negatively impact the cultural landscape. Learning to recognize the essential value of heritage to the ‘place-ness’ of our cities and landscapes is vital in helping us to preserve and enjoy their intrinsic beauty and cultural importance.

Immune Response Activation
The book Immune Response Activation is aiming to analyse the multifaceted aspects of the immune response, treating a number of representative cases in which the immune response is, on one hand, activated against pathogens, and, on the other hand, involved in pathologic settings, leading to allograft rejection, allergy and autoimmunity. The regulatory mechanisms in which the immune response can be modulated for rendering its effector components more efficient and/or not harmful to the organism is also dissected in translational purposes in cancer immunotherapy, local immunity against bacteria and viruses, as well as in allergy and autoimmunity.
Der Freimaurergarten
Die in den Freimaurergärten versteckten Kultsymbole werden erst seit den 80er Jahren nach und nach entschlüsselt. Aber für viele Gärten kommt das aktuelle Interesse zu spät: Sie sind bereits verschwunden oder entstellt. Der Historiker Franz Wegener hat ihre Geschichte untersucht. Beispielhaft erläutert er die Gartenanlagen des Parc Monceau in Paris und des Schlosses Louisenlund in Schleswig-Holstein. Beide Anlagen wurden von Freimaurern im 18. Jahrhundert angelegt, sind heute frei zugänglich und vergleichsweise gut erhalten. Wegener belässt es dabei nicht bei der Beschreibung der freimaurerisch inspirierten Kleinarchitekturen der Gärten, er geht auch den Motiven ihrer Erbauer nach: Was glaubten und erträumten sie? Dieser Ansatz erleichtert auch die Antwort auf die Frage, warum nach 1800 kaum noch Anlagen in Europa entstanden sind, die vorhandenen langsam verfielen und das Wissen um die geheimen Gärten in den folgenden Jahrhunderten fast vollständig verloren ging.
