        A concordance to the rhymes of The Faerie Queene

        by Richard Brown, J. B. Lethbridge, J. B. Lethbridge

        This book is the first ever concordance to the rhymes of Spenser's epic. It gives the reader unparalleled access to the formal nuts and bolts of this massive poem: the rhymes which he used to structure its intricate stanzas. As well as the main concordance to the rhymes, the volume features a wealth of ancillary materials, which will be of value to both professional Spenserians and students, including distribution lists and an alphabetical listing of all the words in The Faerie Queene. The volume breaks new ground by including two studies by Richard Danson Brown and J. B. Lethbridge, so that the reader is given provocative analyses alongside the raw data about Spenser as a rhymer. Brown considers the reception of rhyme, theoretical models and how Spenser's rhymes may be reading for meaning. Lethbridge in contrast discusses the formulaic and rhetorical character of the rhymes. ;

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Aaron Cushley, Silke Kleemann

        Schon in der Schule hatte er ein Faible für alte Sprachen. Er lernte nicht nur Latein und Griechisch, sondern auch Alt- und Mittelenglisch. Und er malte Karten, auf denen er die Welt des Mittelalters wieder zum Leben erweckte. Später erfand der Professor für Sprachwissenschaft für seine Kinder fantastische Geschichten. Und so entstand die Welt der Hobbits, Elben, Zwerge und Zauberer - und die Saga vom »Herrn der Ringe«. Das Buch und seine Verfilmungen schlagen bis heute ein Millionenpublikum in Bann. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France

        by Michael R. Lynn

        Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

        Das kleine Buch der Vögel und Nester

        by Fritz Kredel, Fritz Kredel, J. Kull, H. R. Schinz, W. Hartmann, Heinz Graupner

        Erstmals erschien der vorliegende Band 1934. Die von W. Hartmann und J. Kull stammenden illuminierten Kupfer wurden der 1819 in Zürich erschienenen »Beschreibung und Abbildung der künstlichen Nester und Eier der Vögel, welche in der Schweiz, in Deutschland und in den angränzenden Ländern brüten« von H. R. Schinz entnommen.Das sehr schöne kleine Buch zeigt den jeweiligen Vogel bei seinem kunstvollen Nestbau: Zaunkönig, Rotkehlchen, Weidenlaubsänger, Schwanzmeise, Goldhähnchen, Samtköpfchen, Gartengrasmücke, Sumpfrohrsänger und viele mehr. So vielfältig die Vogelgestalten, so verschiedenartig sind auch die Formen der Nester, die gebaut und hier vorgezeigt werden. »Der Vogel baut sein Nest nicht bewußt nach dem Muster seiner eigenen Wiege oder nach Anleitungen seiner Artgenossen. Brüten wir künstlich einen Vogel aus und ziehen ihn so auf, daß er niemals ein Vogelnest zu sehen bekommt, so wird er doch, wenn seine Zeit naht, eine Brutstätte bauen, die sich in nichts von denen seiner Sippe unterscheidet. Die größten Nestbaukünstler finden wir unter unseren Singvögeln. Sie zeigen uns die höchste Meisterschaft tierischer Baukunst überhaupt. Es ist so, als wolle die Natur ihre Geschöpfe noch übertreffen.«

        K u n s t / A n g s t     EIN ÜBERLEBENSHANDBUCH FÜR DEN KÜNSTLER Von DAVID BAYLES & TED ORLAND   Worum geht es bei Kunst? Wohin bewegt sie sich? Welche Widerstände gibt es?   DAS SIND DIE FRAGEN, AUF DIE ES ANKOMMT, wiederkehrende Fragen, die sich in jedem Stadium der künstlerischen Entwicklung stellen. Sie sind der Ursprung für dieses Kompendium scharfsinniger Beobachtungen.   Kunst & Angst erforscht, wie Kunst geschaffen wird, die Gründe, warum Kunstwerke oft nicht entstehen und die Art der Schwierigkeiten, die so viele Künstler dazu bringt, auf der Wegstrecke aufzugeben. Dieses Buch handelt davon, was du fühlst, wenn du in deinem Atelier oder im Lehrsaal sitzt, du an der Töpferscheibe oder am Keyboard, vor der Staffelei oder hinter deiner Kamera stehst und du versuchst, das Werk, das dir bestimmt ist, zu schaffen. Es geht darum, dass du deine Zukunft in die Hand nimmst, den Freien Willen über Vorherbestimmung, die Wahl vor den Zufall stellst. Es geht darum, dein eigenes Werk zu finden.

        UV-B Radiation and Plant Life

        Molecular Biology to Ecology

        by Brian R Jordan, Pedro J. Aphalo, Amy T. Austin, Carlos L. Ballaré, Paul W. Barnes, Susanne Baldermann, Melanie Binkert, Janet F. Bornman, Isabelle N. Bottger, Stephan D. Flint, Franziska S. Hanschen, Éva Hideg, Marcel A K Jansen, Gareth I. Jenkins, Karel Klem, Susanne Neugart, Monika Schreiner, Åke Strid, Mark A. Tobler, Roman Ulm, Otmar Urban, Jason Wargent, Melanie Wiesner

        Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) has profound effects on plant growth and development, and exposure varies with ozone depletion and across geographic regions, with ecosystem and agricultural consequences. This book deals with large-scale impacts but also how UV-B affects plants at the molecular level is also fascinating, and the UV-B photoreceptor has only recently been characterised. While UV-B radiation can be damaging, it also has a more positive role in plant photomorphogenesis. Consequently UV-B treatments are being developed as innovative approaches to improve horticulture. This book is a timely synthesis of what we know and need to know about UV-B radiation and plants.

        Hilary Putnam und die Tradition des Pragmatismus

        by Marie-Luise Raters, Marcus Willaschek, Richard J. Bernstein, Jennifer Case, Axel Mueller, Christopher Hookway, Karl-Otto Apel, Kathrin Glüer, David Macarthur, James Conant, Ruth Anna Putnam, Ralph Schumacher, Hans Joas, Jürgen Habermas, Hilary Putnam, Klaus Oehler, Michael Quante, Günter Abel, Robert B. Brandom, Steven Gross

        Hilary Putnam ist einer der originellsten Philosophen Amerikas. Seit Beginn der 80er Jahre hat sich sein Denken zunehmend pragmatistischen Positionen angenähert und damit maßgeblich zur gegenwärtigen Renaissance des Pragmatismus beigetragen. In diesem Sammelband setzen sich führende Philosophen aus den USA, England und Deutschland mit Putnams Werk und dessen Verhältnis zum Pragmatismus auseinander (u. a. G. Abel, K.-O. Apel, R. Bernstein, R. Brandom, J. Conant, J. Habermas, C. Hookway, H. Joas, K. Oehler, R. A. Putnam). Putnam hat eigens für diesen Band eine Replik auf die Kritik von Jürgen Habermas verfaßt.
