Words, Words, Words: Philology and Beyond
This Festschrift comprises a series of papers written in honour of the philologist Andreas Fischer, on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. As in Andreas Fischer's own research, the main focus of the volume is on words: words in modern varieties, such as emergent conjunctions in Australian, American and British English, words in their cultural and historical context, such as English keywords in Old Norse literature, and words in a diachronic perspective, such as Romance suffixation in the history of English. Many contributions are anchored in the philological tradition that has informed much of Andreas Fischer's own scholarship, such as the study of verbal duelling in the late thirteenth-century romance Kyng Alisaunder. Others examine the construction ofdiscourses, such as those surrounding the Black Death. The volume, with its innovative studies,offers fascinating insights into words, discourses,and their contexts, both past and present.
A Companion to Anabaptism and Spiritualism, 1521-1700
This handbook of Anabaptism and Spiritualism provides an informative survey of recent scholarship on the Radical Reformation, from the 1520s to the end of the eighteenth century. Each chapter offers a narrative summary that engages current research and suggests directions for future study.
The Radical Reformation, 3rd ed.
George Williams' monumental The Radical Reformation has been an essential reference work for historians of early modern Europe, narrating in rich, interpretative detail the interconnected stories of radical groups operating at the margins of the mainline Reformation. In its scope—spanning all of Europe from Spain to Poland, from Denmark to Italy—and its erudition, The Radical Reformation is without peer. Now in paperback format, Williams' magnum opus should be considered for any university-level course on the Reformation.
Literature for Science and Mathematics
Representing the perspectives of educators in both the science and mathematics communities, this publication is intended to serve as a resource for teachers of students in kindergarten through grade 12 in choosing science- and mathematics-related literature for their schools and classrooms. It contains over 1,000 annotated entries on the physical sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, and mathematics. Formatted for easy use, each entry provides information on the author, publisher and publication date, type of literature, subject emphasis, suggested grade span, and illustrations.
Armed Memory
The edited volume aims to re-contextualize revolts in early modern Central and Southern Europe (Hungary, Croatia, Czech Lands, Austria, Germany, Italy) by adopting the interdisciplinary and comparative methods of social and cultural history. Instead of structural explanations like the model of state-building versus popular resistance, it wishes to put back the peasants themselves to the historical narratives of revolts. Peasants appear in the book as active agents fighting or bargaining for freedom, which was a practical issue for them. Nonetheless, the language of lord-peasant negotiation was that of religion, just as official punishments used Christian symbols. The approach of revolts as t...

Der Katalog 'In der Wolle' zeigt Maschinen-Skulpturen von Andreas Fischer (geb. 1972). Aus vorgefundenen Materialien und Gegenständen baut Fischer mithilfe von Motoren und Mikroprozessoren bewegte und sprechende Skulpturen, die in ihrem neuen Verbund eigene Handlungsmotive und Funktionen erlangen. Fischers Mensch-Maschinen- Parodien konfrontieren den Betrachter mit existenziellen Fragen und zeigen die physischen und psychischen Zwänge und gesellschaftlichen Normen, die einerseits als notwendig für das soziale und kulturelle Gefüge gelten und gleichzeitig als sozialer und individueller Konfliktpunkt ausgemacht werden. Unermüdlich vollziehen die Maschinen ihre Mission: Sie müssen funktionieren, Pausen oder gar Stillstand sind nicht vorgesehen. 0Exhibition: Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany (30.11.2012-31.3.2013).
