Anhand des Psalms 113 analysiert Pierre Coulange die zwei Seiten der GröÃe Gottes, der in seinem Glanz und seiner Herrlichkeit im Himmel thront und sich gleichzeitig auf die Stufe der Menschen stellt und sich der Ãrmsten annimmt. Die entgegengesetzten Attribute verdichten sich zu einem göttlichen Merkmal: Gerade, weil Gott so groà und herrlich ist, kann er sich auf den tiefsten Grund und an die äuÃersten Ränder der menschlichen Gesellschaft begeben. Der Autor betrachtet das Thema des Hinabsehens und des Aufrichtens in weiteren biblischen Passagen und endet mit einer Analyse der Beziehung zwischen Gott und den Armen aus der Perspektive der Relation zwischen Schöpfer und Geschöpf.

Verdeckte Ermittler, Lauschangriff, Online-Durchsuchung: Die heimliche Strafverfolgung greift um sich. Dennoch steht die Rechtsfrage des Privatheitsschutzes beim Ermittlungszugriff auf die begehrten Informationen inmitten eines unklaren interdisziplinären Bezugsfelds: Ist zum Beispiel nur ein Kernbereich privater Lebensgestaltung absolut über das Verfassungsrecht zu schützen und lassen sich wirklich alle sonstigen Bereiche der Privatsphäre der strafprozessualen Relativierung durch Zugriffsrechte preisgeben? Was gilt gegenüber Nichtverdächtigen und was beim Einsatz neuer Medien? Dabei beschreitet Pierre Hauck einen neuen interdisziplinären Pfad: Er gleicht Erkenntnissen der Informationsethik und der Sozialphilosophie ab und entwickelt ein System abgestufter Schutzwürdigkeit privater Informationen. Dieses System dient als Grundlage einer Rekonstruktion der Ermittlungsbefugnisse, hauptsächlich mit dem Ziel einer zukunftsweisenden Neuformulierung der gesetzlichen Ermittlungsbefugnisse in der StPO.

In 1729, Marc-Antoine Lamerenx, a minor French nobleman, set sail for Saint-Domingue. Twenty years later, peasant Jean Mouscardy also made the long and difficult journey to Saint-Domingue. Although the men were not related and had little in common, they hailed from the same Pyrenean town, La Bastide Clairence. In the New World, they both settled in Saint-Martin-du-Dondon, where they made their fortunes growing coffee. After the Haitian slave revolt uprooted them, some of their descendants stayed in Haiti and took part in building the new nation. Others took refuge in France, started businesses in New Orleans, or transferred their slaves and their Haitian experience to new coffee plantations in Cuba. Wealth and Disaster follows the emigrant Lamerenx and Mouscardy families over three generations and various locations across the Caribbean. Pierre Force traces their white and mixed-race descendants from the early-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries and over decades of comings and goings between their French ancestral town and Saint-Domingue, Cuba, and New Orleans. A chance encounter in a French archive led Force to uncover an epic saga, a fascinating and character-driven story of pirates, revolution, staggering riches, financial ruination, natural disaster, harsh imprisonment, and the rise and fall of the plantation economy. By observing the circulation of a few individuals between the Pyrenees and the Caribbean, Force is able to show how these two worlds became interconnected. Arguing that who emigrated and how depended on one's position in the Pyrenean house-based system, Force also reveals how capital accumulation in Saint-Domingue relied on Pyrenean networks and how, in turn, wealth acquired in America changed the rules of the game back home. An exciting and accessible history, Wealth and Disaster offers riveting insight into the matrimonial strategies and inheritance customs of French rural society and the resulting choices to emigrate or to stay.

This is the standard work on its subject, and its author the outstanding authority. Pierre Bernac had a long and distinguished career as a singer, specializing in the French song (or mélodie) repertoire. For many years he was incomparable partnered by Francis Poulenc, one of the composers discussed in this book. M. Bernac later taught and gave master classes in Europe and the United States. He died in 1979. Among eighteen composers whose vocal works are covered in the book are Berlioz, Gounod, Duparc, Chausson, Fauré, Debussy, Satie, Ravel—as well as Poulenc and others. The greater part of each composer's output in the genre is discussed: texts of nearly 200 songs are given in French, with line-for-line verse translations by Winifred Radford, notes on pronunciation, and simple but detailed suggestion for performance and interpretation. Preceding these sections on the songs themselves are three most important chapters on performance and interpretation in vocal music, on singing in French, and on the particular problems involved in the interpretation of French mélodies. This is the book every serious singer needs—and, more and more, singers are "discovering" French song. It is also an invaluable guide for the concert-goer and record collector.
