In their sculptural works, artists have always broken out of the workshop or studio and into open-air spaces. After all, the place where sculptures are best able to show their three-dimensionalquality is in an open space not enclosed by walls and ceiling, in which all flows of power and movement can have free rein. However, because public spaces offer only very limited possibilitiesfor sculpture development, sculpture parks have been developed almost everywhere in the world where invited artists can work without restrictive conditions. During his search for a place in France where he could present his large sculptures, Erich Engelbrecht discovered in 2000 the open, meadow-like land, with the château tucked into a piece of forest behind it. This open space, picturesquely framed by groups of trees, was precisely what he had imagined. And the fact that a château was waiting for its new owner at the end of this tract of land made this discovery a stroke of luck rarely experienced by anyone in general, and almost never by artists in particular. His monumental sculptures that dominate the landscape have given Erich Engelbrecht a place in the history of modern sculpture. His method of drawing images plastically in the space, and of using these drawings transformed into solid bodies to occupy whole landscapes, is unparalleled. The enigma balanced between representationality and the abstract, the multiplicity of meaning, which invites freely poetic titles, is essential to the unique charm of Erich Engelbrecht's visual work. In the park of Château des Fougis, 29 of these artworks, at once plainly revealing and mystifying, communicate with each other in such a relaxed way that visitors are prompted to think and to enjoy. One strolls through a garden of poetic artworks, through a park of beautiful riddles and silent secrets. There has been nothing comparable to this in Europe since the Mannerist gardens, conceived by poets andequipped with creatures of the imagination by inspired sculptors.

Designed in response to the official 1953 program planned to equip the Armée de l’Air with a light supersonic interceptor, the Mirage III is universally acknowledged as one of the most remarkable successes of the French post-war aircraft industry. This delta-winged fighter has a configuration which has since become the hallmark of the French aircraft builder, Dassault, and has rapidly demonstrated its qualities beyond its original frontiers, so much so that 1 400 examples of all variants came off the production lines, purchased by twenty or so countries. This very broad subject has been split into two distinct parts, the first volume dealing with the initial single-seat IIIC and two-seat IIIB versions equipped with the Atar 9B jet engine and the second deals with the improved versions of the fighter with a longer fuselage, powered by an Atar 9C and fitted with a more effective Doppler radar: the IIIE interceptor, the IIIR and RD reconnaissance versions, the 5 and 50 ground attack versions. In line with the name and aim of the collection only the planes used by the Armée de l’Air are described in these books.

Rapid changes over the last twenty years have impacted every branch of demographic analysis, from birth rates and immigration, to marriage rates and aging. The Nature of Demography is a response to these enormous changes. Written by one of the world's leading demographers, this authoritative text offers a systematic and coherent overview of the fundamental ideas governing the study of present and future populations. The book covers formal models as well as the underlying logic and context of demographic reasoning. The text also illustrates recent data and new methodological developments. The first section of the book discusses measurements that involve a single individual, such as mortality and fertility; the second section moves from individual behaviors to population-level phenomena; and the third section looks at models involving individuals and social structures within the population, such as marriage and migration rates--topics not addressed in such detail in any other demography text. Written for advanced undergraduates and experienced researchers, The Nature of Demography contains a wealth of material that will inspire innovative applications in the field. * An up-to-date and authoritative textbook by one of the world's leading demographers * Creative use and critique of demography methods * Comprehensive and innovative coverage of marriage, migration, and economic demography * Explanations that reach beyond mathematical formulas to underlying theories of behavior

This book represents a comprehensive effort to understand discrimination, racialization, racism, Islamophobia, anti-racist activism, and the inclusion and exclusion of minorities in Nordic countries. Examining critical media events in this heavily mediatized society, the contributors explore how processes of racialization take place in an environment dominated by commercial interests, anti-migrant and anti-Muslim narratives and sentiments, and a surprising lack of informed research on national racism and racialization. Overall, in tracing how these individual events further racial inequalities through emotional and affective engagement, the book seeks to define the trajectory of modern racism in Scandinavia.

La conquista romana de la Península Ibérica y el proceso de integración de las comunidades indígenas en el Estado romano son dos temas cruciales de la Historia de España que la investigación ha abordado repetidamente, aunque no siempre de forma satisfactoria. Para comprender ambos problemas es preciso partir de la propia evolución interna de Roma, que se proyecta sobre las distintas regiones peninsulares para imprimirles una personalidad distinta y característica. Desde tal perspectiva se afronta esta nueva interpretación de la historia peninsular en época republicana, coincidente con el lento y dramático desarrollo de su incorporación al ámbito de dominio romano. En ella se examinan tanto las etapas del progresivo sometimiento como el vidrioso tema de la romanización, analizados desde el compromiso de la polémica y con un énfasis especial en las numerosas cuestiones aún no resueltas por la investigación.

Die Beiträge zu diesem Band sind im wesentlichen aus einem Symposion zum 70. Geburtstag von Traugott Holtz und Nikolaus Walter entstanden. Gemäß den Forschungsinteressen der beiden Jubilare spielen das frühjüdische Umfeld des Neuen Testaments, die Septuaginta und die Frage nach einer Biblischen Theologie eine hervorgehobene Rolle. Da beide als Schüler von Gerhard Delling am Corpus Judaeo-Hellenisticum Novi Testamenti (CJHNT) mitgearbeitet haben, bietet der Band im Anhang unveröffentlichte Texte aus der Geschichte dieses Forschungsprojektes und Überlegungen zum gegenwärtigen Stand und zur Fortführung des Unternehmens.
