Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria: This Thorny Crown is the first comprehensive account of its subject's intense religiosity. This thematically structured biography explains how events in Victoria's life and reign - from her coronation to her marriage and many bereavements - changed and enlarged her faith. It portrays a woman with simple convictions but a complex identity, which suited her multinational kingdom and religiously plural Empire. Victoria was the Supreme Governor of the Church of England but preferred to worship with Scottish Presbyterians; she was an ardent Protestant, yet sympathetic to Roman Catholicism and Islam. Drawing on British and German archives, Michael Ledger-Lomas illuminates not just ...
Geographies of the University
This open access volume raises awareness of the histories, geographies, and practices of universities and analyzes their role as key actors in today’s global knowledge economy. Universities are centers of research, teaching, and expertise with significant economic, social, and cultural impacts at different geographical scales. Scholars from a variety of disciplines and countries offer original analyses and discussions along five main themes: historical perspectives on the university as a site of knowledge production, cultural encounter, and political interest; institutional perspectives on university governance and the creation of innovative environments; relationships between universities and the city; the impact of universities on national and regional economies and cultures; and the processes of internationalization through student mobility, the creation of education hubs, and global regionalism in higher education.

Heinrich
Ein Ort, eine Familie, ihr Unternehmen - und die deutsche Geschichte vom Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Nachkriegszeit. Anhand der Aufzeichnungen seiner Vorfahren bringt Autor Dieter Heymann die Geschichte seiner Familie zu Papier - und setzt diese dabei auch immer in einen historischen Kontext. Spannend und facettenreich folgt man einer Kaufmannsfamilie auf einem nicht immer einfachen Weg durch die Zeit. Durch sehr private Einblicke erfährt man beinahe am eigenen Leib, wie die Familie die Deutsche Revolution, die Reichsgründung sowie Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg durchlebt hat. Dieses Buch schreibt Heymann für die nachfolgenden Generationen, seine Kinder und Enkelkinder. Durch Aufzeichnungen seines Vaters und Onkels ist er selbst sehr nahe an der Vergangenheit. Zurecht hat er einige Bedenken, dass ohne das geschichtliche Wissen die Gegenwart nicht verstanden werden kann.

Zones of Tradition - Places of Identity
What is the heritage of our cities? Which are the monuments, places, and spaces in which it accumulates, and by which practices is it formed, handed down, appropriated? Gerhard Vinken takes the readers to twelve cities on three continents and analyses the diverse and contradictory heritage formations that have had a lasting impact on urban life. The vitality of urban heritage, as these vivid and in-depth case studies show, lies in the dynamic and often conflictual processes of social appropriation and interpretation. Covering a diverse range of themes, the book familiarizes the reader with important questions and theories in urban research and heritage studies.
