Regional Identity and Economic Change
The current debate about the best methods of European organization - central or regional - is influenced by an awareness of regional identity, which offers an alternative to the rigidities of organization by nation-state. Yet where does the sense of regionalism come from? What are thedistinctive factors that transform a geographical area into a particular 'region'? Tom Scott addresses these questions in this study of one apparently 'natural' region - the Upper Rhine - between 1450 and 1600. This region has been divided between three countries and so historically marginalized,yet Dr Scott is able to trace the existence of a sense of historical regional identity cutting across national frontiers, founded on common economic interests. But that identity was always contingent and precarious, neither 'natural' nor immutable.

EthniCity
Urban ethnic groups frequently are confronted by residential segregation, discrimination, xenophobia, and conflict. However, ethnic diversity has also enriched the urban scene with a variety of languages, religions, businesses, and cultural activities. In this volume, distinguished scholars present analyses of ethnic population change in twelve urban areas: Chicago, Los Angeles, Sydney/Melbourne, Paris, London, Amsterdam, the Ruhr conurbation, Vienna, Milan, Madrid, Johannesburg/Durban, and Singapore. EthniCity reveals fundamental commonalities in ethnic community dynamics as well as significant differences from place to place. It will be important for scholars and students of human geography, sociology, anthropology, and history.

Stadt und Bergbau
Obwohl der Bergbau nicht zu den spezifisch stadtischen Wirtschaftszweigen gehorte, konnten zwischen beiden enge Beziehungen bestehen, die Entstehung und Entwicklung einer Stadt oft entscheidend beeinflussten. Der Bogen reichte dabei von den wirtschaftlich wichtigen, haufig privilegierten Bergstadten des Mittelalters und der fruhen Neuzeit bis zu den Grossstadten des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts in den Steinkohlerevieren. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes greifen zentrale, aber auch weniger bekannte Aspekte der mannigfachen Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Stadt und Bergbau heraus. Dabei behandeln sie in einem breiten raumlichen Zugriff wichtige Stadte und Bergbaureviere im mittleren und westlichen Europa vom Mittelalter bis an die Schwelle der Gegenwart. So entsteht ein ebenso umfassendes wie differenziertes Bild eines von der Stadtgeschichte bislang kaum beachteten Themas. Die beigefugte CD-ROM bietet eine virtuelle Reise durch den historischen Harzbergbau.
