Dance
This gorgeous book presents the broad spectrum of ballet and dance historically in this country - where it has come from, what has influenced the art-form, who has been involved, and who are the present movers and shakers. It's beautiful to look at, with striking photos and ephemera, attractive poster designs, programme covers plus illustrations. There's great information and anecdotes on personalities, plus interesting 'facts' in separate breakout boxes. Its themes include the influence of overseas companies on dance in New Zealand from 1913 to the present; the advent of a national identity with the establishment of the Royal New Zealand Ballet; the emergence of modern dance in the 1930s and the contemporary dance scene today. Each chapter features a discussion on dance styles, the vigour of the artistic personalities involved and the social milieu in which they operated. A very thorough and lively examination of the dance scene in New Zealand.
Strangers Arrive
None of us had the faintest idea where we were going [but] during 1938–39 . . . the town [Christchurch] was made strangely interesting for anyone like myself, [with the] scattered arrival of ‘the refugees’. All at once there were people among us who were actually from Vienna, or Chemnitz, or Berlin . . . who knew the work of Schoenberg and Gropius. – Anthony Alpers, 1985 From the 1930s through the 1950s, a substantial number of forced migrants – refugees from Nazism, displaced people after World War II and escapees from Communist countries – arrived in New Zealand from Europe. Among them were an extraordinary group of artists and writers, photographers and architects whose Europe...

40. Symposium zur Geschichte Millstatts und Kärntens
Die Ergebnisse des 40. Symposiums zur Geschichte Millstatts und Kärntens spiegeln die reiche und wechselvolle Kulturgeschichte dieser Region. Die Autorinnen und Autoren widmen sich ihr aus den Perspektiven der Landschafts-, Architektur- und Kunstgeschichte, Kodikologie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Sie diskutieren, ob die Ortenburg (bei Spittal) die größte Burg Kärntens gewesen ist, und zeichnen den Weg illuminierter Handschriften aus Italien nach Millstatt nach, als Beispiel für die internationale spätmittelalterliche Buchkultur. Sie zeigen, wie anhand Millstätter Handschriftenfragmente prominente Texte identifiziert werden konnten, was neue Fragen zum Bücherkanon der Klöster aufwirft. Einblicke in die Wissenschaftsgeschichte um 1900 eröffnet ein Briefwechsel des Anthropologen Felix von Luschan mit dem Prähistoriker Carlo de Marchesetti. Nah an den Debatten des Hier und Heute ist zudem die Auswertung einer Porträtsammlung Felix von Luschans, die eine Neubewertung der damaligen anthropologischen Porträtphotographie fremder Kulturen erlaubt.
Handbook of Resilience in Children
The third edition of this handbook addresses not only the concept of resilience in children who overcome adversity, but it also explores the development of children not considered at risk addressing recent challenges as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this edition, expert contributors examine resilience in relation to environmental stressors as phenomena in child and adolescent disorders and as a means toward positive adaptation into adulthood. The significantly expa...
