Slavoj Žižek and Christianity
Slavoj Žižek’s critical engagement with Christian theology goes much further than his seminal The Fragile Absolute (2000), or his The Puppet and the Dwarf (2003), or even his discussion with noted theologian John Milbank in The Monstrosity of Christ (2009). His reading of Christianity, utilising his signature elements of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian philosophy with modern philosophical currents, can be seen as a genuinely original contribution to the philosophy of religion. This book focuses on these aspects of Žižek’s thought with either philosophy and cultural theory, or Christian theology, serving as starting points of enquiry. Written by a panel of international contribut...
New Religions and the Nazis
Looking at modern German paganism as well as the established Church, Poewe reveals that the new religions founded in the pre-Nazi and Nazi years, especially Jakob Hauer's German Faith Movement, would be a model for how German fascism distilled aspects of religious doctrine into political extremism."--BOOK JACKET.
The Chemistry Knowledge for Firefighters
Chemical facts taught in firefighting training courses are often "isolated facts." In the book, these facts are integrated into an overall chemical-physical concept. Backgrounds are illuminated, and connections can be recognized. The overall understanding is facilitated, tactical measures for the operation become "logical". This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Das Chemiewissen für die Feuerwehr by Torsten Schmiermund, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

The Manichaean Church in Kellis
The Manichaean Church in Kellis presents an in-depth study of social organisation within the religious movement known as Manichaeism in Roman Egypt. In particular, it employs papyri from Kellis (Ismant el-Kharab), a village in the Dakhleh Oasis, to explore the socio-religious world of lay Manichaeans in the fourth century CE. Manichaeism has often been perceived as an elitist, esoteric religion. Challenging this view, Teigen draws on social network theory and cultural sociology, and engages with the study of lived ancient religion, in order to apprehend how laypeople in Kellis appropriated Manichaean identity and practice in their everyday lives. This perspective, he argues, not only provides a better understanding of Manichaeism: it also has wider implications for how we understand late antique ‘religion’ as a social phenomenon
Vermittler des Rechts
Das juristische Verlagswesen ist seit über zweihundert Jahren eines der einflussreichsten und wirtschaftlich erfolgsreichsten Segmente des Buchhandels. Stets nahe an der herrschenden Meinung, aber immer auch flexibel genug für die Umbrüche und Umstürze der Rechtsordnung ist es juristischen Verlegern gelungen, ein maßgeblicher und vor allem ertragreicher Teil des Rechtswesens zu werden. Das Werk beschreibt Erfolgsstrategien und Herausforderungen der juristischen Literaturwelt von den Anfängen im 19. Jahrhundert bis hin zu den Verstrickungen im Nationalsozialismus. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen der unabdingbaren Nähe zu staatlichen Einrichtungen und der notwendigen Neutralität ihrer Publikationen unterlagen die juristischen Verlage seit ihren Anfängen einigen Besonderheiten, die sie von anderen Fach- und Wissenschaftsverlagen unterschieden und die ihnen eine spezifische Rolle innerhalb der Fachdisziplin gaben. Die Entwicklungsgeschichte des juristischen Verlagswesens mit seinen Unternehmen, Autoren und Publikationen stellt somit nicht nur ein Stück Buchhandelshistorie dar, sondern ist auch ein Teil der Wissenschaftsgeschichte.
