Mike Rapport is one of the few scholars who write European history not as the history of a few select countries, but of the entire continent. Rapport is at home in the history of the Balkans as well as France, Italy, Germany, Russia, and Scandinavia, and well versed in the historiography published in English, French, and Italian. Rapport's well-rounded viewpoint is one excellent argument for anyone suffering from "1848 fatigue" after the sesquicentennial celebrations and their aftermath in conference volumes and historiographical reviews to put aside any skepticism regarding the possibility of anyone presenting a novel perspective; the book itself is another. In it, Rapport offers a narrative history of the events of 1848 in those European countries and regions affected directly by the revolution--France, Italy, the German states, Denmark, and Rumania--with some remarks on areas where the impact was more indirect (Britain, Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and Scandinavia). This book is less obviously an academic textbook than Jonathan Sperber's excellent survey of the revolutions of 1848, and less encyclopedic than the survey of national events and overarching themes edited by Dieter Dowe and others for the 1998 anniversary. ...
For faunistic research on a certain animal group, knowledge of the situation in surrounding countries is a necessity. The presence of certain species in neighbouring regions, together with notes on their distribution and trends, offers valuable information for the interpretation of the status of these species in one’s own study area. Changes in the national fauna – e.g. the discovery of a new species – can often better be explained when integrating information on the status of species in nearby countries. Distribution atlases are therefore not only valuable publications for the country of concern, but also for other countries in the same region.
[book review:] David Penney (Ed) 2013 Spider research in the 21st century – trends and perspectives
(2013)
The latest arachnological publication from Siri Scientific Press is a substantial compendium of spiderrelated topics covering many aspects of these fascinating animals’ biology. As the title suggests, the overarching theme running throughout this work are the advances which have been made in recent years – particularly through the application of novel methods and/or technologies – as well as productive directions for future research. Following an extensive foreword by Norman Platnick, which summarises the book’s main conclusions rather well, the volume itself is divided into nine self-contained and fully referenced chapters. All have been written by acknowledged experts in their fields and all provide an excellent account of the modern literature.
Rezension zu: Arno Gruen (2013): Dem Leben entfremdet. Warum wir wieder lernen müssen zu empfinden. Stuttgart: Klett-Cotta. Ca. 19,95.
Wir verlieren den Sinn für mitmenschliche Gefühle mit gravierenden Konsequenzen für uns selbst, die Gesellschaft und die Politik. Das meint der Psychoanalytiker Arno Gruen in seinem neuen Buch „Dem Leben entfremdet“. Es ist ein eindrücklicher und lebensnaher Anstoß, über uns selbst und unser Verhalten im Alltag nachzudenken.
Auch wenn der Titel lediglich eine „non-annotated checklist“ verheißt, handelt es sich tatsächlich um mehr. Es ist die Neuauflage bzw. die Fortschreibung des Kataloges von Mikhailov (1997) sowie von dessen Ergänzungen (Mikhailov 1998, 1998, 2000). Die Checklist (der Katalogteil) umfasst alle Arten, die in den heutigen Ländern der ehemaligen Sowjetunion bis einschließlich 2011 nachgewiesen wurden.
