The Historical-Critical Dictionary of Marxism (HCDM) is a comprehensive Marxist lexicon, which in the 9 German-language volumes concluded so far has involved over 800 scholars from around the globe. Conceived by philosopher Wolfgang Fritz Haug in 1983, the first volume of the ongoing lexicon project was published in 1994. This first English-language selection introduces readers to the HCDM’s wide range of terms: besides Marxist concepts, approached from a plural standpoint and stressing feminist, ecological, and internationalist perspectives, it boasts entries on the histories of social movements, theoretical schools, as well as cultural, political, philosophical, and aesthetic debates.

This series promotes new scholarship on peace history and on the movements, groups, people, and actions that have opposed both war and its causes. Conceptually, this series understands peace to include pacifist, antiwar, and antimilitarist positions. Since wars have social, political, economic, cultural, and psychological roots, this series is also concerned with the relationship between peace and social justice movements aimed at reducing the social causes of conflict. Books in this series include historical monographs and biographies; critical and/or annotated editions of letters, diaries, and other primary texts; and edited collections of primary or secondary texts. Studies in Peace History welcomes proposals for English-language manuscripts addressing all periods and regions based on archival research and published primary sources by historians and other scholars. Proposals that combine historical topics and approaches with other disciplinary perspectives and methodologies will be considered.

This series will feature titles that address such core themes in peace history as:

· peace movements, leaders, activists, organizations, and campaigns
· antiwar dissent
· opposition and resistance to specific conflicts
· conscientious objectors
· draft resistance
· disarmament and arms control
· campaigns against nuclear weapons
· peace treaties
· protests within the military
· remembrance and reconciliation
· peace education
· women, gender, and peace
· cultural expressions and peace
· peace and environment
· legal history of peace action
· transnational connections promoting peace
· peace and nonviolence
· links between peace history and nonviolent social justice and reform.

Authors are cordially invited to contact the series editors Scott H. Bennett and Michael Clinton to inquire about the process for submitting proposals. Proposals may be submitted to the publisher at Brill, Alessandra Giliberto.

Colours make the map: they affect the map’s materiality, content, and handling. With a wide range of approaches, 14 case studies from various disciplines deal with the colouring of maps from different geographical regions and periods. Connected by their focus on the (hand)colouring of the examined maps, the authors demonstrate the potential of the study of colour to enhance our understanding of the material nature and production of maps and the historical, social, geographical and political context in which they were made.

Die Iliasglossare nehmen im Rahmen der papyrologischen Zeugnisse zur Erklärung homerischer Texte eine zentrale Stellung ein, weil sie die größte erhaltene Dokumentation darstellen und einen beträchtlichen Zeitraum (1.-7. Jh. n.Chr.) umfassen. In dem vorliegenden Band wird eine neue Aufstellung dieser Iliasglossare auf Papyrus geboten und die materiellen, inhaltlichen und kontextbezogenen Aspekte der Dokumentation untersucht, um ein Gesamtbild der Iliasglossare als Zeugnisse der Kulturgeschichte Ägyptens zu bieten. Zudem werden drei auf Papyrus überlieferte Iliasglossare neuediert.
