Ancient Thrace and the Classical World
A captivating examination of the profound impact Thracian art and culture had on the Greeks and the entire northern Aegean region. The Thracians—a collection of tribal peoples who inhabited territories north of ancient Greece, an area that comprises present-day Bulgaria, much of Romania, and parts of Greece and Turkey—were renowned for their skill as warriors and horsemen, as well as for their wealth in precious metals. Thracians left few written records, and knowledge of their history and customs has long been dependent on brief accounts from ancient Greek authors. They appeared in Greek myth as formidable adversaries in the Trojan War, cruel kings, and followers of the ecstatic god Dio...
New Architecture in Wood
Timber: the old raw material and building material returns.There are many reasons today for building with wood and there are great advantages over conventional designs. Wood is not only a renewable building material that helps reduce the levels of CO2 and is hence good for climate change, but, due to modern computing and manufacturing processes, it can also be used for a variety of construction tasks. Wood possesses excellent qualities for both construction and indoor climate control, and can easily be combined with other common building materials. Based on 24 international projects, the book provides an overview of the range of possibilities in wood construction today. Texts, images, and plans document the architectural and constructive qualities of contemporary timber structures from the conceptual design to the structure in detail. The various uses are based on current research in modern timber engineering but also on timber construction expertise that has been developing over many centuries. This special discipline has evolved significantly in recent decades, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and is a world leader today.

Geschichte der bulgarischen Literatur
Dieser dritte Band der Literaturgeschichte Milena Kirovas setzt neben den bewährten Themenkapiteln, die intellektuelle Oppositionsfiguren und soziokulturelle Konfliktspannungen in der bulgarischen Geistesgeschichte analysieren, und den Porträtkapiteln über wichtige Autoren, zwei neue Akzente: Erstmalig wird hier das Werk weiblicher Autoren angemessen - also keineswegs immer lobend! - gewürdigt, der männliche Blick anhand gesellschaftlicher Fakten und Statistiken als patriarchal vorstrukturiert entlarvt. Der schwere Eintritt der Frauen in die bulgarische Literatur wird dabei nicht immanent interpretiert, sondern vor dem Hintergrund des den Frauen lange versperrten Zugangs zu Schul- und H...
