Dieses auch für den interessierten Laien verständlich geschriebene Werk führt in die unbekannte Welt der CO2-Gasvulkane, der sogenannten Mofetten, ein. Eine wenig erforschte Welt, die inmitten von Europa Tiere sterben lässt, die Pflanzenwelt verändert, Böden und Atmosphäre beeinflusst und Hinweise für kommende Vulkanausbrüche liefern kann. Mithilfe der botanischen Bioindikation können solche Entgasungsstellen auch im Gelände gefunden und sogar wirtschaftlich genutzt werden, z.B. in Mineralwässern und Feuerlöschern, bei der Haltbarmachung von Nahrungsmitteln sowie bei der Heilung von Herz- und Hautkrankheiten. Prof. Hardy Pfanz erklärt in diesem biologisch-geologischen Mofettenführer, wo solche Erscheinungen in Deutschland, aber auch weltweit, gefunden werden können und was sie uns sagen. Auch verrät er –augenzwinkernd– das ein oder andere Außergewöhnliche und Sagenhafte über Mofetten.

For over a millennium, the Italian coastal state of the Most Serene Republic of Venice, or La Serenissima, flourished as a center for sea trade and the arts. Here an important final phase of late Baroque mythological and Biblical painting took place. Venice also became an important destination on the Grand Tour, where its aquatic setting and unique network of canals, palaces, and churches inspired a talented group of view painters, especially during the eighteenth century. Today, collections throughout North America hold many works from this prolific period.La Serenissima presents new scholarship on works that have not received due public attention in recent years and brings together approximately 65 works of art from more than 25 collections. Together, they represent important regional developments in religious and topographical painting as well as genre and portraiture. These artworks display the inimitable aspects of Venetian taste and culture in the age of the Grand Tour and through the decline of the Republic. La Serenissima also casts new light on the achievements of Venetian view painters, including master painter Antonio Canaletto, Bernardo Bellotto, Luca Carlevarijs, and Francesco Guardi.
