Kawase Hasui's Masterpieces
Author:
Following on the success of the catalogue raisonné – Kawase Hasui: The Complete Woodblock Prints – published by Hotei Publishing in 2003, Visions of Japan: Kawase Hasui’s Masterpieces brings together in a single volume one hundred of the artist’s most celebrated prints. Fully illustrated, this publication includes annotated descriptions for each work, as well as two essays on Hasui’s life and work by Dr. Kendall H. Brown.
Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) is considered the foremost Japanese landscape print artist of the 20th century, and he is most closely associated with the pioneering Shin-hanga ('New Prints') publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962). Hasui’s work became hugely popular, not only in his native Japan but also in the West, especially in the United States. His valuable contribution to the woodblock print medium was acknowledged in 1956, a year before his death, when he was honoured with the distinction of ‘Living National Treasure’.

Qualification challenges and food information responsibilities
Author:
Food e-commerce is a fast-developing market. Regrettably, the number of products exchanged on the web that may be harmful to consumers is also steadily rising. This development poses challenges for controlling authorities and legislators in their mission to protect EU consumers' health and economic interests, leading to a lively discussion on the status and role of e-platforms in the age of food online. Responsibilities and liabilities in the (online) food chain are not yet clearly defined, and seem to be stuck between stringent safety regulation and immunity to promote innovation. Standing at the intersection of law, food and digital technology, 'Online platforms - new actors of the food chain' looks at the development of food online, and documents how (and whether) EU regulators and courts have been addressing the many challenges this development raises, especially in terms of food information and who is responsible for it.

Een reis door de wereld van voedseltaboes en eetculturen

"In Wat is eetbaar? laat Adel den Hartog zien hoe complex de voedselkeuzes van mensen al millennia lang zijn. Wie zich afvraagt waarom wij eten wat wij eten, komt uit bij praktische zaken als de beschikbaarheid van producten, transport en kosten, maar ziet ook fysiologische, culturele, geografische, en psychologische factoren. Den Hartog wijst op het belang van de toegang die individuen en groepen hebben tot voedsel, en van hun sociaaleconomische positie. Kan iemand worden overtuigd om iets te eten dat deze persoon als oneetbaar ziet? In het boek staan vele voorbeelden van onze geringe flexibiliteit, of die nu wordt ingegeven door een intolerantie met een genetische oorsprong, of doordat wat onbekend was, ook onbemind bleef. Voedingsgewoonten reageren traag op interventies, maar gebruiken kunnen veranderen. Zo is een vleesloze maaltijd tegenwoordig geen teken van armoede meer. Het boek zal de algemeen cultureel geïnteresseerde lezer aanspreken. Het is geschikt als handboek voor wie de achtergrond van onze eetgewoonten wil begrijpen. De kennis uit het boek is uitstekend te gebruiken bij een scala aan interventies op het gebied van voeding en leefstijl. [ENGLISH] In 'Wat is eetbaar?' ('What is edible?'), author Adel den Hartog shows how complex the food choices of humans have been formillenia. Those who wonder why we eat what we eat, will find out practicalities, such as availability of products, transportation and costs, but also physiological, cultural, geological, and psychological factors matter. Den Hartog points out the importance of access to food for individuals and groups, and the influence of their socio-economical position. Can someone be convinced to eat something that they perceive as inedible? This book gives many examples of our limited flexibility, whether caused by an intolerance for genetical reasons, or because we simply did not know the food and want to keep it that way. Food habits are slow to respond to interventions, but these days, a meatless meal is no longer a sign of poverty. The book will attract the culturally interested reader. It can be used as handbook for those who want to understand the background of our eating habits. The knowledge in this book can be used for a large range of interventions when it comes to food and life style."

Grundlagen und Methoden für den Instrumentalunterricht
Author:
Musikalische Spannung ist eine der zentralen Kategorien eines authentischen Musizierens und Musikerlebens. Doch so intensiv ihre Wirkungen sein können, so schwer ist sie tatsächlich greifbar: obwohl an strukturellen Vorgängen festzumachen entzieht sie sich weitestgehend einer rationalen Festlegung und bleibt Metapher. Hieraus aber erwächst die besondere Herausforderung und ebenso das hohe didaktische Potential im Hinblick auf ihre Vermittlung im Instrumentalunterricht: als Phänomen zwischen Struktur und Ausdruck verknüpft musikalische Spannung oftmals getrennte Unterrichtsinhalte und mündet in ein Unterrichtsbild, das vom Fluss der Musik getragen wird.

Viae et regna: descriptio ditionis Moslemicae / auctore Abu ’l-Kásim Ibn Haukal. M.J. de Goeje’s Classic Edition (1873)
Editor:
The journeys of Abū l-Qāsim Ibn Ḥawqal, who might have been a merchant, took him to North Africa, Spain and the southern edge of the Sahara (947-51), Egypt, Armenia and Azerbaijan (c. 955), the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Khuzistan, and Iran (961-69), Khwarazm and Transoxania (c. 969), and Sicily (973). By about 988 CE the final version of Ibn Ḥawqal’s Kitāb Ṣūrat al-arḍ was ready. It is effectively both a continuation and an update of al-Iṣṭakhrī’s Kitāb al-Masālik wa-l-mamālik and is also known under that same title.
Ibn Ḥawqal transformed what was meant as a commentary on a series of maps into a work in its own right, which also included remarks on various countries or peoples bordering on the Islamic world, e.g. the Turks, the Khazars, the towns of southern Italy, the Sudanese and the Nubians. Although he owed much to al-Iṣṭakhrī’s work, Ibn Ḥawqal aimed to place the text firmly within his own period. He took great care to depict a region precisely in the state and at the date that he himself had seen it, with occasional references to the distant or more recent past. This is particularly true of the notes on economic matters, which form a complete break with convention. Ibn Ḥawqal was the only Arab geographer of the period who really sketched a vivid picture of production.

Wie systematisch ist Hegels System?

Das Bild der Philosophie Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegels, wie wir es kennen, ist zu großen Teilen immer noch eine Frucht des Stilisierungswillens seiner Schüler, die nach dem Tode des Meisters dessen Lehre systematischer präsentieren wollten, als diese in Wahrheit gewesen ist. Es gibt viele Untersuchungen zu seinen Teilen, aber kaum ein Buch zum Ganzen des Systems.
Gerade im Blick auf den anstehenden Abschluss der Edition der Vorlesungen innerhalb der Gesammelten Werke müsste aber eine Frage mit Nachdruck gestellt werden: Wie sieht es in Wahrheit mit Hegels System aus? Das System ist nicht so systematisch wie es scheint, oder, anders gesagt, das späthegelsche System ist nicht so stringent, wie man meinen könnte.

Who are the Europeans? How do they think about life after death, work, sex, euthanasia, immigration or freedom? What traditions do they cherish, and which modern values gain ground? This second Atlas of European Values summarizes the beliefs of Europeans in almost two hundred informative graphs, charts and maps.
This Atlas is the result of the European Values Study, a research project that has measured values and beliefs throughout Europe since the 1980s. Today, the study spans a full generation, revealing value changes on topics such as homosexuality and working moms, but also demonstrating firm European traditions in democracy and rejection of bribes.
The unique Atlas of European Values covers all European nations from Iceland to Turkey, and from Portugal to Russia. It graphically illustrates the rich diversity of values and beliefs of the more than 800 million Europeans living inside and outside the European Union today.

Farce in Contemporary Irish and Irish-American Narratives
Author:
Goodbye Yeats and O’Neill is a reading of one or two books recently written by the following major authors: Roddy Doyle, Colm Tóibín, John McGahern, William Trevor, Seamus Deane, Nuala O’Faolain, Patrick McCabe, Colum McCann, Nick Laird, Gerry Adams, Claire Boylan, Frank McCourt, Tim O’Brien, Michael Patrick MacDonald, Alice McDermott, Edward J. Delaney, Beth Lordan, William Kennedy, Thomas Kelly, and Mary Gordon. The study argues that farce has been a major mode of recent Irish and Irish-American fiction and memoir—a primary indicator of the state of both Irish and Irish-American cultures in the early twenty-first century.

Subject: The theme of this book is synaesthesia – a different but naturally occurring form of perception in which sensations and perceptions are experienced in many different combined forms. The book first provides an overview of the current state of knowledge relating to synaesthesia, from the diversity of synaesthetic experience to some of the many findings and theories yielded by synaesthesia research – a blossoming area of science – in recent years. After an introduction to the subject of orientation the principal thesis of the book is outlined – that synaesthesia can be a form of orientation. The idea has wide-ranging implications: for example, it is possible that a good many children are being identified as having a " when the real problem is that teaching strategies used in schools run counter to the synaesthesia of a synaesthetically gifted child. There then follow 21 accounts, some of them illustrated, of synaesthetic experience combined with reflection on the question of whether synaesthesia can be used for orientation. The 21 authors come from five countries (USA, Great Britain, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany) and almost all of them are synaesthetes.

Zur historischen Pragmatik des Mittelalters

Die Geschichte des bestraften Sprechens hält mit den 'Zungensünden'(peccata linguae) in der ersten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts eine Kuriosität bereit. Ein paar Jahrzehnte lang kreist die Moraltheologie fast obsessiv um Verfehlungen im Medium der Sprache, um sie immer neu zu benennen, zu beschreiben und zu klassifizieren. Zu den 'Zungensünden' gehören das beständige Klagen, das zuviel Reden und das Schmeicheln ebenso wie das Fluchen und Schwören, dessen verheerende Wirkung insbesondere Prediger nicht müde werden zu betonen. Die Gründe für das Aufrücken des Sprachverhaltens zu einem zentralen Thema der Morallehre sind vielfältig. Die Aufwertung der Volkssprachen trägt genauso dazu bei, eine umgangssprachliche Verfehlung wie das Fluchen zum Leitdelikt der Strafverfolgung zu erheben wie unzählige Wundergeschichten zur Macht der Rede und ihre scholastischen Diskussion.
