Preservation, Tourism and Nationalism
Since its discovery by German romantics and nationalists, Rothenburg has been an established icon of the German nation and its medieval past. By tracing Rothenburg's historical development as a place of national importance, this book examines the cultural politics of historical preservation and tourism in general. In exploring the shifting practice and importance of tourism in Rothenburg and how this relates to broader debates about German culture and identity, Preservation, Tourism and Nationalism offers an important and original perspective on the changing dynamics of romanticized historical landscapes and how events are used to further national, cultural and political agendas. It also analyses the changing practices of historical preservation, and in particular, how historic preservation in Rothenburg reflects a desire to make it more historic and more German. With important insights into what it means to be German, how Germans relate to the past and how the answers to these questions have changed over time, this richly illustrated and detailed volume offers an important narrative of the rise, evolution and contestation of memory in German culture.

The Successor
David Slater, Professor of Islam History, finally broke the centuries old code of the Caprotti Manuscripts. One contained a bombshell: two scrolls were buried in the royal tombs at Axum, Ethiopia, which could prove that there was a missing chapter of the Koran. The verses proclaimed that only descendants of the Prophet should lead Islam as the Caliph, the Successor. All Muslims must obey this Caliph. Who would he be today?The world was on the brink of war. The Supreme Jihad, a confederation of fanatical Muslim states, was preparing to invade what they claimed were stolen Muslim lands in Europe, Kuwait, Russia and Kashmir.David Slater held the key to war or peace. After evading Supreme Jihad commandos who had tried to kill him in Axum, he fled with one scroll in the company of the beautiful, black Falasha Jewess, Mariam, a secret Mossad agent. Supreme Jihad assassins, Israeli and American allies, and the Sabiya Imam, the person best placed to become the Successor, all wanted David's scroll. What would he do?
