Author:
Anne Troelstra’s fine bibliography is an outstanding and ground-breaking work. He has provided the academic world with a long-needed bibliographical record of human endeavour in the field of the natural sciences.
The travel narratives listed here encompass all aspects of the natural world in every part of the globe, but are especially concerned with its fauna, flora and fossil remains. Such eyewitness accounts have always fascinated their readers, but they were never written solely for entertainment: fragmentary though they often are, these narratives of travel and exploration are of immense importance for our scientific understanding of life on earth, providing us with a window on an ever changing, and often vanishing, natural world. Without such records of the past we could not track, document or understand the significance of changes that are so important for the study of zoogeography.
With this book Troelstra gives us a superb overview of natural history travel narratives. The well over four thousand detailed entries, ranging over four centuries and all major western European languages, are drawn from a wide range of sources and include both printed books and periodical contributions. While no subject bibliography by a single author can attain absolute completeness, Troelstra’s work is comprehensive to a truly remarkable degree.
The entries are arranged alphabetically by author and chronologically, by the year of first publication, under the author’s name. A brief biography, with the scope and range of their work, is given for each author; every title is set in context, the contents – including illustrations – are described and all known editions and translations are cited. In addition, there is a geographical index that cross refers between authors and the regions visited, and a full list of the bibliographical and biographical sources used in compiling the bibliography.

Familie und Vermögen
Author:
Immenses Vermögen, transnationale Mobilität, ein globales Familiennetzwerk und erbitterte Konflikte sind die Kennzeichen der Familie Thyssen im 20. Jahrhundert. Ihr Vermögen bietet den zentralen Schlüssel für das Leben der Thyssens seit dem letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts. Es ermöglichte extravagante Lebensweisen in Europa, den USA und Südamerika. Es stand im Zentrum heftiger Konflikte innerhalb der Familie, ihm galt in Kriegs - und Krisenzeiten aber auch die gemeinsame Sorge. Um es zu erhalten und zu mehren, entwickelten die Thyssens Strategien, ihr Vermögen international möglichst unsichtbar zu streuen. Sie nahmen dabei Praktiken vorweg, die in manchem dem globalen Finanzkapitalismus der Gegenwart nahe kamen. Erstmals nimmt die Studie das ganze Spektrum der Beteiligten im Zusammenspiel von Familie und Vermögen in den Blick – von den männlichen und weiblichen Thyssens über ihre Hausangestellten bis hin zu ihren zahlreichen Rechts - und Finanzberatern.

Iulius exclusus e coelis
Editor:
The dialogue Iulius exclusus e coelis – a violent attack on Pope Julius II (1503-1513) and a lucid analysis of papal power regarded as an anti-apostolic institution – has been the object of a centuries-long debate. Applying the methods of philology and bibliology, which the scholarly debate has hitherto overlooked, this edition reconstructs for the first time in documented and verifiable fashion the pamphlet's origin and early circulation. Erasmus emerges from this study not only as the dialogue's author, but also as responsible for its first circulation in print. The portrait of the humanist sketched in the introductory essay – that of an impassioned political observer and an intransigent critic of both ecclesiastical and secular power – is a radical revision of the saccharine and hagiographical image of Erasmus that has been systematically built up by 20th-century historiography. The volume also contains the short dialogue Conflictus Thaliae et Barbariei, making fun of bad Latin, and De civilitate morum puerilium, an essential treatise in Erasmus’ pedagogical œuvre as well as in the history of education in general.

A History of the Development of Manual Intaglio Printmaking Processes
Author:
This book surveys the history of the techniques of engraving, etching and plate printing – i.e. that of manual intaglio printmaking processes – from its beginning in the 1430s until today. These developments are observed in the light of the coherence between the technique of the intaglio print (such as its materials and methods of production); the 'style' or outward appearance of the print; the creator of the print; and the fashion typical of a particular social group, place and time. Economic, educational and social aspects are discussed, as well as the worldwide dissemination of the trade of intaglio printmaking.
The author shows how intaglio printmaking developed steadily from the mid-fifteenth century, with the invention of the roller press and the etching of printing plates. By 1525 intaglio printmaking techniques could be said to have reached maturity and spread east and west following the European trade routes and colonisation. Further developments in plate-making resulted from a series of inventions and reinventions. After the abolition of the guilds on the European continent around 1800, and the introduction of photography and the expansion of the graphic industry, the engraving of images became a mere mechanical procedure. The handcrafted print made way for the large-scale mechanised graphic industry which emerged in the middle of the nineteenth century. Consequently artist-etchers withdrew to an elite position to concentrate on the manual aspects of printmaking, which is the situation today.
This comprehensively illustrated study is the first of its kind to cover all elements of the trade of engraving and etching throughout six centuries. Based on an exhaustive number of primary sources it will be an essential resource for collectors, curators, conservators, printmakers and students of technical art history.

Energieversorgung, Haushaltstechnik und Massenkultur am Beispiel nordenglischer und westfälischer Städte 1880-1939
Author:
In den beiden letzten Jahrzehnten des 19. Jahrhunderts setzte mit der Entstehung der Elektro-, Chemie- und Automobilindustrie eine neue, zweite Phase der Industrialisierung ein. Die vergleichend angelegte Studie fragt danach, inwieweit Deutschland den Vorsprung Großbritanniens in der industriellen Produktion und im Konsumniveau bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg aufholen konnte. Über diese klassische Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Pionier und Nachzügler hinaus behandelt der Band soziale Nivellierungsprozesse zwischen Mittel- und Unterschichten in beiden Ländern. Vor dem Hintergrund einer breiten Darstellung der Industrialisierung untersucht der Autor auf nationaler und lokaler Ebene - am Beispiel von Leeds und York, Dortmund und Münster - zentrale Elemente des materiellen und kulturellen Konsumverhaltens: die Energieversorgung, die Nutzung von Haushaltstechnik und die Wahrnehmung populärer Kulturangebote aus den Bereichen Sport, Film, und Rundfunk. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass das Deutsche Reich bis zur Jahrhundertwende den industriellen Vorsprung Großbritanniens wettmachen konnte, den britischen Konsumstandard jedoch bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg nicht erreichte. In beiden Ländern hielten sich Differenzen zwischen den sozialen Schichten im Erwerb von materiellen Konsumgütern, während sich die Teilhabe an der Massenkultur anglich. Generell bildete die Stärkung des materiellen und kulturellen Konsums in den 1930er Jahren die Voraussetzung dafür, dass der Lebensstandard in Großbritannien und Deutschland nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg ein ähnliches Niveau erreichte und die soziale Integration zunahm.

Gender Politics and Folklore Performance in Serbia
Author:
Ana Hofman examines the negotiation of the gender performances in Serbian rural areas as a result of the socialist gender policy and creation of the new “femininity” in the public sphere. She focuses on the stage performances of female amateur groups at the Village Gatherings, state-sponsored events held from the 1970s through the mid-1990s in the southeastern Serbian region of Niško Polje. Offering a multifaceted picture of the personal experiences of the socialist ideology of gender equality, Staging Socialist Femininity investigates the complex relationships between personal, interpersonal and political levels in socialism. By showing the interplay between ideology, representational and social practices in the realm of musical performance, it challenges the strong division in scholarly narratives between ideology and practice in socialist societies.

Ereignis und Wahrnehmung in Polen und Deutschland
Der Warschauer Aufstand 1944 ist eines der schmerzlichsten Kapitel der deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen. Die 63 Tage vom Ausbruch bis zur Kapitulation der Aufständischen stehen im Zentrum der Erinnerung Polens an den Zweiten Weltkrieg. In Deutschland hingegen wissen nur wenige um die Ereignisse in der polnischen Hauptstadt.
Im vorliegenden Band stellen polnische und deutsche Autorinnen und Autoren die Ereignisgeschichte des Warschauer Aufstandes dar. Die Themen reichen von den politischen Ursachen und dem militärischen Umfeld über die komplexen diplomatischen Begleitaktionen bis hin zu den Folgen für die Warschauer Zivilbevölkerung. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Wahrnehmung des Aufstandes sowie auf der Erinnerungskultur in den beiden Ländern. Das Buch ermöglicht dem deutschen Leserkreis, sich mit Ergebnissen polnischer Detailforschung vertraut zu machen. Die Fachwissenschaftler betreten darüber hinaus auch bislang weitgehend unerschlossenes Terrain und regen mit ihren Analysen zu neuen Fragestellungen an.

A Comparative Study of the Latin and Anglo-Norman Versions
Series:
The Northern World, Volume: 39
Author:
The Legend of St Brendan is a study of two accounts of a voyage undertaken by Brendan, a sixth-century Irish saint. The immense popularity of the Latin version encouraged many vernacular translations, including a twelfth-century Anglo-Norman reworking of the narrative which excises much of the devotional material seen in the ninth-century Navigatio Sancti Brendani abbatis and changes the emphasis, leaving a recognisably secular narrative. The vernacular version focuses on marvellous imagery and the trials and tribulations of a long sea-voyage. Together the two versions demonstrate a movement away from hagiography towards adventure.
Studies of the two versions rarely discuss the elements of the fantastic. Following a summary of authorship, audiences and sources, this comparative study adopts a structural approach to the two versions of the Brendan narrative. It considers what the fantastic imagery achieves and addresses issues raised with respect to theological parallels.
