Modern historians have generally approached the study of medieval society through chronicles, charters, and other documents composed in Latin by members of the clergy. Although these records may be satisfactory for studying the affairs of ecclesiastics, kings, and high barons, they are inadequate for assessing the major preoccupations of the aristocracy -- living extravagantly, fighting, making love, entertaining, eating and dressing ostentati...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Eine seit Jahrhunderten bewährte Möglichkeit, die Außenwände vor schädlichen Witterungseinflüssen zu schützen und ansprechende Fassadengestaltungen zu erreichen, wurde durch die Verwendung von Putzmörteln verwirklicht. Bis zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts hatten sich die Wandbauarten und Bindemittel für Außenputze kaum geändert. Das wohl entscheidendste Merkmal der alten Traditionen war, dass die Wärmeleitfähigkeiten d...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Gott ist tot. Gerade in der Debatte um Reproduktionsmedizin und Molekularbiologie wird ersichtlich, dass die Zeiten von Immanenz und Transzendenz, im Hinblick auf Erlösung und Verschiebung von Problemstrukturen auf das Jenseits, der Vergangenheit angehören. Der Mensch ist zum ¿Meister¿ seiner eigenen Disposition geworden und liegt in der Debatte um die daraus resultierende Ethik und Moral um Jahrhunderte zurück. Scho...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die Dissertation befaßt sich mit einem der praktisch wichtigsten Probleme, die sich nach einem Betriebsübergang für den Erwerber stellen: Der Frage, wie dieser Arbeitsbedingungen, die beim Veräußerer tarifvertraglich geregelt waren, verändern, insbesondere an die bei ihm geltenden angleichen kann. So bestehen beim Veräußerer oft tarifliche Regelungen, deren Aufrechterhaltung für den Betriebserwerber wirtschaftlich n...

Anhand des ab April 2000 einsetzenden und teilweise bis in die jüngste...

In recent decades, a readily identifiable conservative discourse has arisen within African-American, Latino/a and gay communities, and among women, both feminist-and anti-feminist alike. While they diverge on certain issues, as a nascent political force they have forever altered the complexion of contemporary conservatism.In Gu...

Looks at female comic secondary characters who, though never on center stage, play an indispensable role in enriching and complicating the course of the narrative.

Henry Pearson is often linked to the Op Art movement of the 1960s because his best-known paintings feature a labyrinth of undulating parallel lines. Yet his work, although included in the landmark exhibition of 1965, "The Responsive Eye, " has an intuitive rhythm and poetic elegance that fall well outside the calculated, often hard-edged structures favored by most Op artists.World War II interrupted Pearson's first career in theater design but...

Die Arbeitskräftelenkung war ein immanenter und zentraler Bestandteil der Planwirtschaft in der SBZ/DDR. Der Übergang vom System der kriegsbedingten Zwangsbewirtschaftung zur Zentralverwaltungswirtschaft vollzog sich nicht geradlinig und nicht sofort nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Trotz einiger grundlegender Entscheidungen (Bodenreform, Sequestrierung und "Industriereform") entwickelte sich erst im Verlauf der fünfziger Jahre ein kompl...

Depression-era Harlan County, Kentucky, was the site of one of the most bitter and protracted labor disputes in American history.
