    Content: Historische Gärten sind als denkmalgeschützte Kulturgüter wertvolle Zeugnisse unserer Zivilisation. Wie lassen sie sich unter veränderten klimatischen Bedingungen bewahren? Anhand von vier historischen Gartenanlagen wird der natürliche, kulturelle und soziale Rahmen analysiert, in den die "Bilder" des Gartens eingeschrieben sind. Welche Handlungsoptionen bestehen jedoch, wenn Pflanzen oder Bäume den standörtlichen Gegebenheiten nicht mehr angepasst sind? Vertreter aus den Natur-, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften sowie der Gartendenkmalpflege stellen erstmals gemeinsam Lösungsstrategien für die Bewahrung historischer Gärten als Gesamtkunstwerke unter dem Vorzeichen des Klimawandels vor
    Content: Historical gardens listed as cultural monuments are valuable evidence of our civilization. How can they be preserved under changing climatic conditions? On the basis of four historical gardens, this project analyzes the natural, cultural and social framework in which the "images" of the garden are inscribed. Yet, what courses of action are possible if plants or trees are no longer adapted to the local conditions? Representatives from the natural and social sciences, the humanities, and historical garden conservation present their first joint solution strategies for the preservation of historical gardens as complete works of art facing climate change

    Content: In der gegenwärtigen digitalen Transformation wird auch die Büroarbeit komplett neu organisiert. Eine zentrale Rolle spielen dabei Konzepte wie »Lean Production« und »agile Methoden«.Das Buch zeigt die Folgen dieser Entwicklung für die Arbeitswelt von Angestellten anhand von Fallstudien aus den Bereichen Software-Entwicklung, Maschinenbau, Metall- und Elektroindustrie. Erkennbar wird ein grundlegender Umbruch in der Angestelltenarbeit mit ungewissem Ausgang. Kommt die Büroarbeit am digitalen Fließband oder ein Aufbruch in eine neue Humanisierung der Arbeitswelt? Das Buch liefert Antworten auf diese Fragen und zeigt: Das Ergebnis der Entwicklung hängt von unserer bewussten Gestaltung ab
    Content: Office work at the digital assembly line or a new humanization of labor? The radical change of white-collar work requires a sensible design

    Content: "Understanding Global Migration offers scholars a groundbreaking account of emerging migration states around the globe, especially in the Global South. Leading scholars of migration have collaborated to provide a birds-eye view of migration interdependence. "Understanding Global Migration" proposes a new typology of migration states, identifying multiple ideal types beyond the classical liberal type. Much of the world's migration has been to countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. The authors assembled here account for diverse histories of colonialism, development, and identity in shaping migration policy. This book provides a truly global look at the dilemmas of migration governance: Will migration be destabilizing, or will it lead to greater openness and human development? The answer depends on the capacity of states to manage migration, especially their willingness to respect the rights of the ever-growing portion of the world's population that is on the move"

    Series Statement: Modern war studies
    Content: "Military history often focuses on heroes - soldiers of high and low ranks who took decisive action, won wars, and decided battles. Prisoners of war, however, do not always fit this heroic narrative. They did not win on the battlefield and, especially in the eyes of a nationalistic audience in the nineteenth and twentieth century, they had not given everything, even their lives, to their cause or country. As a result, captive soldiers have often been treated as a separate topic in military history - disconnected from the larger and seemingly more important story of planning and conducting warfare and the societies that waged it"--

    Content: "What does responsibility mean in international relations (IR)? This handbook brings together cutting-edge research on the critical debates about responsibility that are currently being undertaken in IR theory. This handbook both reflects upon an emerging field based on an engagement in the most crucial theoretical debates and serves as a foundational text by showing how deeply a discussion of responsibility is embedded in broader questions of IR theory and practice. Contributions cover the way in which responsibility is theorized across different approaches in IR and relevant neighboring disciplines and demonstrate how responsibility matters in different policy fields of global governance. Chapters with an empirical focus zoom in on particular actor constellations of (emerging) states, international organizations, political movements, or corporations, or address how responsibility matters to structure the politics of global commons, such as oceans, resources or the Internet"--

    Content: This study examines the influence of perspective on architecture, highlighting how critical historical changes in the representation and perception of space continue to inform the way architects design. Since its earliest developments, perspective was conceived as an exemplary form of representation that served as an ideal model of how everyday existence could be measured and ultimately judged. Temple argues that underlying the symbolic and epistemological meanings of perspective there prevails a deeply embedded redemptive view of the world that is deemed perfectible. Temple explores this idea through a genealogical investigation of the cultural and philosophical contexts of perspective throughout history, highlighting how these developments influenced architectural thought. This broad historical enquiry is accompanied by a series of case-studies of modern or contemporary buildings, each demonstrating a particular affinity with the accompanying historical model of perspective.

    Content: "This study chronicles and problematizes ten years of interpretation of a single period. It challenges public historians to alter their perception of what eighteenth-century interpretation can be. It proposes new methods of interpretation and understanding to make greater connections with the American public. It proposes a history that does not rest solely on names or dates to form meaning, but creates a sense of the effusive nature of the historical narrative for all that encounter it as its goal. However, as these changes occur, let us not lose sight of the docent from the Marblehead Historical Society, because without her diligent work and passion for American history, and that of others like her, there would be no foundation on which to build"--
    Note: Interpreting the lived experience of individuals and families in the eighteenth-century -- Eighteenth-century interpretations of environmental and global contexts at historic sites -- Breathing life into historic house museums -- Interpreting eighteenth-century streets and gardens in the urban environment -- Problematizing eighteenth-century interpretation in the homes of the founders
