Geschichte der Geschichtswissenschaft
Zdenek Kalista (1900-1982) geh rt zu den bedeutendsten tschechischen Historikern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er war der Sch ler von Josef Pekar (1870-1937), der gro en Gestalt der tschechischen Historiographie, der auch im deutschsprachigen Raum bekannt ist. In seinem Werk konzentrierte er sich einerseits auf die Barockzeit, an die er sich bem hte, in "geistesgeschichtlicher" Weise heranzugehen. Andererseits verfasste er zwei Studien, die er explizit dem Versuch widmete, die Teildisziplin der Geistesgeschichte (auf Tschechisch "duchov dejiny") methodologisch zu untermauern. An diesen Texten arbeitete er bereits seit dem Ende der 30er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die erste bersetzung einer von diese...
Widerstand und Biografie
Wie ist Milena Jesenská zur Widerständlerin geworden? Diese Frage steht im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung von Lucyna Darowska, die neue Perspektiven interpretativer Biografieforschung innerhalb der politisch-historischen Widerstandsforschung zum Nationalsozialismus erschließt. Ausgehend vom New Historicism setzt sie sich interdisziplinär mit verschiedenen Theorieansätzen auseinander und formuliert dabei den Begriff der widerständigen Praxis neu. Auf dieser an den Forschungsgegenstand angepassten methodisch-theoretischen Basis entwickelt sie Interpretationen widerständiger Handlungen der in literarischen Kreisen bekannten Prager Journalistin Milena Jesenská gegen das NS-Regime.

This contextual study of Janácek's operas reveals the composer's creative responses to a wide range of Czech and non-Czech traditions.
Molecular Complexes in Earth's Planetary, Cometary and Interstellar Atmospheres
This book introduces systematically the concept of weakly-bound complexes into the broad field of atmospheric sciences. To fill up the gap between our rapidly expanding knowledge of the individual properties of Van der Waals and hydrogen-bonded molecules, and our understanding of their role in the atmospheric processes, an ensemble of related topics are covered by a team of expert co-authors. The general properties of the weakly bound molecular complexes (or ?clusters?) are discussed, as well as their distribution in the planetary atmospheres. Collision-induced and dimeric absorption and emission are considered in the context of atmospheric spectroscopy. The advanced experimental techniques which enable us to study the spectroscopic features of molecular complexes in the gas phase, or which are adsorbed, are reviewed. The role of molecular complexes in the cometary atmosphere, the Earth mesosphere, and the atmospheres of the giant planets and some of their satellites are also discussed in detail.
The Dilemmas of Dissidence in East-Central Europe
Discusses one of the major currents leading to the fall of communism. Falk examines the intellectual dissident movements in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary from the late 1960s through to 1989. In spite of its historic significance, no other comprehensive survey has appeared on the subject. In addition to the huge list of written sources from samizdat works to recent essays, Falks sources include interviews with many personalities of those events as well as videos and films (including Oscar winners).
Western Plainchant
Plainchant is the oldest substantial body of music that has been preserved in any shape or form. It was first written down in Western Europe in the eighth to ninth centuries. Many thousands of chants have been sung at different times or places in a multitude of forms and styles, responding to the differing needs of the church through the ages. This book provides a clear and concise introduction, designed both for those to whom the subject is new and those who require a reference work for advanced study. It begins with an explanation of the liturgies that plainchant was designed to serve. It describes all the chief genres of chant, different types of liturgical book, and plainchant notations....

Revolution with a Human Face
In this social and cultural history of Czechoslovakia’s “gentle revolution,” James Krapfl shifts the focus away from elites to ordinary citizens who endeavored—from the outbreak of revolution in 1989 to the demise of the Czechoslovak federation in 1992—to establish a new, democratic political culture. Unique in its balanced coverage of developments in both Czech and Slovak lands, including the Hungarian minority of southern Slovakia, this book looks beyond Prague and Bratislava to collective action in small towns, provincial factories, and collective farms. Through his broad and deep analysis of workers’ declarations, student bulletins, newspapers, film footage, and the proceedin...
Relating Architecture to Landscape
These essays make a unique contribution to the documentation of twentieth century landscape architecture. They address key moments in history that have sometimes been overlooked or forgotten, emerging moments, and potential moments of leverage. The essays present contemporary examples in architecture, landscape architecture and garden design that offer new models. Relating Architecture to Landscape will challenge accepted assumptions about the nature of landscape architecture.
