Amsterdam University Press The Barrandov Studios: A Central European Hollywood
The Barrandov Studios are one of the largest and oldest film studios in Europe. For more than 80 years so far, the studios have been the location of choice for over 2,500 Czech and International films. Barrandov’s founding fathers, the Havel brothers Vàclav and Milo. (the grandfather and uncle of later president Vàclav Havel), built the ‘Hollywood of Eastern Europe’ in the 1930s. A legendary studio like this – and its story – has so far not been told to an English-speaking readership. This collection aims to correct this, presenting the studio’s rich history, its esteemed directors, and their most important films.

De Gruyter Karl Friedrich Schinkel: Die preußische Provinz Sachsen
Der letzte dem Land Preußen gewidmete Architekturband des 1931 gegründeten 'Schinkel Lebenswerk' gilt der nach dem Sieg über Napoleon 1815 aus der Altmark, dem Herzogtum Magdeburg, dem von Frankreich zurückgewonnenen Erfurt und annektierten Teilen des Königreichs Sachsen gebildeten Provinz Sachsen. Für Schinkel, der sogleich die Huldigungsfeier für den neuen König gestaltete, war diese Provinz das 'classische Land für alte Baukunst'. Arbeiten an den Domen in Magdeburg, Erfurt, am Kloster Schulpforta, der Liebfrauenkirche in Halberstadt, der Schlosskirche in Wittenberg und das durch sie ausgelöste Grundsatzmemorandum zur preußischen Denkmalpflege sind Schwerpunkte des Bandes. Weitere sind Denkmäler – namentlich das für Luther aus Anlass des Reformationsjubiläums 1817, wofür er gedankenreiche Entwürfe schuf – für Gustav Adolf von Schweden, Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, August Neidhardt von Gneisenau und andere Helden der Befreiungskriege. Neben unausgeführten bedeutenden Entwürfen für Großbauten, wie für die Universität Halle oder das Gesellschaftshaus Magdeburg, ist Schinkels Wirken hier in zahlreichen kleineren Kirchen ebenfalls gegenwärtig.

De Gruyter Wielandgut Oßmannstedt
Im Frühjahr 1797 erwarb der Schriftsteller Christoph Martin Wieland (1733–1813) das Gut Oßmannstedt, das er bis April 1803 mit seiner großen Familie bewohnte und bewirtschaftete. Hier entstand sein letzter großer Roman, „Aristipp und einige seiner Zeitgenossen". Wieland empfing hier zahlreiche Besucher, neben Goethe, dem Ehepaar Herder und der Herzogin Anna Amalia, die aus dem nahen Weimar kamen, seine Jugendliebe Sophie von La Roche mit ihrer Enkelin Sophie Brentano, die Schriftsteller Jean Paul, Heinrich von Kleist, Johann Gottfried Seume und viele mehr. Der Band erzählt die Geschichte von Haus und Park des Wielandguts Oßmannstedt und folgt der Ausstellung im Wieland-Museum, die in Leben und Werk von Christoph Martin Wieland einführt und seine Bedeutung für die deutsche Literatur zeigt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) 750 Jahre Augustinerkloster und Evangelisches Stift in Tübingen
2012 jährte sich zum 750. Mal die Gründung des Augustinerklosters in Tübingen, in dem ab 1547 das Herzogliche Stipendium, heute bekannt als Evangelisches Stift, untergebracht ist. Eine Fachtagung hat die Geschichte dieser wichtigen Bildungsinstitution untersucht und neue Forschungsbeiträge hervorgebracht. Dabei wird der Zeit als Augustinerkloster ebenso nachgegangen wie den Veränderungen des Stipendiums in der Neuzeit. Beiträge zur Geschichte der Institution (u.a. im Dreißigjährigen Krieg und im Verhältnis zur Stadt um 1800) stehen neben solchen zu den Stipendiaten (ihren Reisestipendien, der Heiratspolitik der Ehrbarkeit um 1800, den Verbindungen im Stift). Beleuchtet werden auch die Bedeutung für die Philosophiegeschichte (Schelling, Hegel, Hölderlin), die Theologie (Ferdinand Christian Baur) und die Literaturgeschichte. Die Übertragung des Stipendiums an die Kirche nach 1918, die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus (am Beispiel von Fezer und Wurm) und die Einführung der heute noch geltenden Stiftsordnung (1969 in ihrer vorläufigen Form) geben Einblick in die massiven Veränderungen der Institution im 20. Jahrhundert.

De Gruyter Dehio - Handbuch der deutschen Kunstdenkmäler / Bayern Bd. 2: Niederbayern
Neben beeindruckenden Landschaften im Bayerischen Wald, im Rottal oder am Regen hat Niederbayern auch großartige Stadtanlagen und bau- und kunsthistorische Zentren wie Landshut, die Bezirkshauptstadt und ehemalige Residenzstadt eines Teilherzogtums, Passau, Sitz des ehemaligen Fürstbistums, oder die Herzogstadt Straubing aufzuweisen. Mit ihrer Burg Trausnitz, St. Stephan, der Stadtresidenz und den hohen Kastenhäusern bildet Landshut immer noch den passenden Rahmen für die ehemals mittelalterliche 'Landshuter Hochzeit'. Atemberaubend ist die topographische Lage der kunstreichen Bischofsstadt Passau am Zusammenfluss von Donau, Inn und Ilz. Bis in die Zeit der Römer lässt sich ihre Funktion als urbaner Mittelpunkt der Region zurückverfolgen. Und als kraftvolle mittelalterliche Gründung mit einem breiten Straßen-Stadtplatz zeigt sich immer noch Straubing – auch diese Stadt einst Sitz eines Teilherzogtums, Straubing-Holland. Sehr eigene und ganz unterschiedliche lokale Zentren finden sich in anderen Städten und Märkten, mit interessanten Ortsanlagen, Schlössern, Burgen und Klöstern. Und auch Niederbayern ist vom Reichtum seiner zahlreichen Wallfahrts-, Stadt- und Landkirchen geprägt, von bodenständigen Rat- und Bürgerhäusern und eigener Bauernhauskultur.

Little Toller Books My House of Sky: A Life of J A Baker
Since his rise to fame in 1967 when his work "The Peregrine" was awarded the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize, J A Baker has captured the popular imagination with his vivid descriptions of British landscapes and native wildlife. Compelling, strange and at times both startlingly funny and cruel, Baker's prose is at one with his image as a writer, which has, since the publication of his first work, been characterized as an obsessive recluse.Next to nothing was known about Baker, who died in 1987, until an archive of his materials and those related to him was gifted to the University of Essex in 2013. Only now has it been possible to piece together an accurate view of the life and unpublished work of the man whose writing has been described as "the gold standard for all nature writing" (Mark Cocker), and whose work has influenced naturalists such as Richard Mabey and Simon King, as well as film-makers David Cobham and Werner Herzog.This new book showcases the most compelling parts of the Baker Archive, containing previously unknown elements of his life, many photographs and unpublished poems.It provides an invaluable new insight into both his sensitive and passionate character, and late twentieth century Britian, a country experiencing the throes of agricultural and environmental change.

Cicerone Press The Westweg: Through Germany's Black Forest
This guidebook is all you need to discover The Westweg, a 285km walk along the length Germany's Black Forest from Pforzheim to Basel. This classic long-distance trail takes around two weeks to walk, in stages of 15-28km. The route is well way-marked and suitable for experienced hikers and those new to long distance walking, though some sections are steep. Detailed descriptions and 1:100,000 maps accompany each stage of the route and the book describes options for shortening stages using public transport. There is also information on when to go, where to stay and a German-English glossary. With well-maintained and waymarked trails, an efficient public transport system and conveniently placed huts and farmhouse inns, the Black Forest is one of Germany's best-loved walking destinations. The Westweg incorporates many of the region's highlights, such the Schwarzwald National Park, the source of the Danube and Lake Titisee. At Titisee there is a choice to make: the western route taking in the Black Forest's highest peak Feldberg and the vineyards of the Markgraflerland, or the quieter eastern route via the Herzogenhorn peak and on to Basel, with all its cultural attractions and old-world charm.

Cambridge Scholars Publishing Negotiating Boundaries? Identities, Sexualities, Diversities
Negotiating Boundaries: Identities, Sexualities, Diversities is a collection of essays by contributors from—and/or on—societies across the world: Boznia-Herzogovinia, Croatia, France, Iran, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South and West Africa, the UK and the USA. They are from a range of academic disciples—English Literature, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, Literary and Cultural Studies, Modern Languages, Religious Studies, Social Anthropology, Social Policy, Sociology and Theology. This level of diversity has resulted in the most wide-ranging volume ever published in the social sciences and humanities around the concept of "Boundaries". The book is at the cutting edge of intellectual thinking on personal and social "boundaries" applied to such areas as: Art, Genocidal Rape, Identities, God/Godde, Lesbianism, Literature, Men in "Women's Professions", Muslim women in Muslim and non-Muslim countries, Nationalism and Symbolism, Poetry, Religion, Sexual Harassment, Sexuality, Women in Science, Transgenderism, Virginity Testing and War.This range of contributors, locations and topics could have resulted in an incoherent volume with appeal to only a somewhat esoteric readership. However, the skilful use of the concept of "Boundaries" not only gives this book structured coherence, but makes it important reading for a wide range of academics, theorists and researchers in a diversity of disciplines."This is a lively, engaged, nuanced portrayal of the struggles around identity, inequality and domination. Ambitious in its scope – international, interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional in its social focus, Identities, Sexualities, Diversities offers a powerful picture of struggle and the pursuit of change, through the conceptual lens of boundaries. This collection explores the diverse ways boundaries operate, bringing new insights and questions to an established debate. It also, importantly, explores how boundaries can provide bridges. Thus, through its interweaving of theory and empirical analysis, and through its stories of bodies, texts, work, sexual expression, self-presentation, and changing values, Identities, Sexualities, Diversities offers a text that is reflexive, analytically thoughtful, and, significantly, hopeful.”—Davina Cooper, Professor of Law and Political Theory, Director of AHRC Research Centre for Law, Gender and Sexuality, Kent Law School, University of Kent“This is a fascinating collection of papers that provides new and important insights into the variety and natures of boundaries around ethnicity, identity and sexuality. Using the complex concept of boundaries the writers explore identities, sexualities and diversities through boundary crossings, contested boundaries, oppressive boundaries and creative, resistant boundaries. This provides a wonderful, coherent engagement with some of the key struggles at the present time over contested territory at personal and global levels. The range of articles ensures that these debates are contextualised in particular societies and cultures providing a rich source of theoretical material that helps our understandings of these complex and crucial issues. The theoretical rigour and fascinating insights presented in this edited book deserves a wide readership from those involved in the social sciences, women’s studies, the humanities and all those interested in transgressing conventional boundaries of scholarship”.—Sheila Scraton, Pro-Vice Chancellor, Director of University Research, Professor of Leisure and Feminist Studies, Leeds Metropolitan University.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd ICT for Transport: Opportunities and Threats
This wide-ranging volume offers a balanced look at the benefits as well as the caveats associated with various ICT applications in transport. Addressing transport demand and supply as well as policies affecting both, and combining specific case studies with general conceptualizations, the book makes an important contribution to our understanding - and best deployment - of this complex constellation of relationships between ICT and travel. It will be of great value to researchers and practitioners alike.'- Patricia Mokhtarian, Georgia Institute of Technology, US'Transport is the testbed for many innovations in ICT and this book captures the essence of this fast moving and topical debate. It covers the behavioural implications, the potential impacts on sustainable transport, and the broader public policy issues. The approach is authoritative, matching the technological optimism with more pragmatic realism, and the contributors are smart in stressing both the opportunities and the need to limit the risks, as sustainable transport depends on all systems both societal and technological working together in harmony.'- David Banister, University of Oxford, UK'Again a nice collection of papers from the highly productive NECTAR network! ICT increasingly influences the transport system. This timely book focuses on the relevance of ICT for sustainable transport. Most papers present empirical evidence of impacts of several ICTs based on surveys. The book also discusses the impact of ICT on travel behaviour and user requirements more generally, as well as planning and policy implications, including risks, implementation barriers and ethical issues. A must for researchers, policy makers and planners dealing with the potential contribution of ICT to make society more sustainable!'- Bert van Wee, Delft University of Technology, the NetherlandsAs the importance and value of information increases, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is rapidly evolving and taking centre stage in everyday life in the 21st century. This is particularly evident in the transport sector, where ICT is greatly influencing our mobility and travel choices as well as travel experience. In this context, ICT for Transport examines the opportunities, threats, underlying principles and practical issues faced when deploying ICT for transport applications, especially in the quest to achieve sustainable transport.Focusing on infrastructure, people and processes, the contributors to this book use diverse case studies from around the world to illustrate the challenges faced by academics, practitioners and policy makers alike. The contents and bibliography provide up-to-date knowledge and expertise drawn from state of the art research in Europe, America, Asia and Africa.ICT for Transport is a valuable source of information for those aiming to be at the forefront of the evolving field of ICT for transport. This analysis of the various threats and opportunities will assist them in making more informed decisions about the future use of ICT for transport and for the benefit of society.Contributors include: M.
