Legacies in Steel

Personalized and Historical German Military Edged Weapons, 1800–1990

By: Hermann Hampe,Rick Dauzat

Nearly 100 German military edged weapons are presented in this sumptuously photographed volume featuring information about their owners. Spanning nearly two hundred years, Legacies in Steel is an in-depth photographic study of historical edged weapons from the German military. The elegant details of each selection are displayed in close-up detail. Many of these weapons belonged to nobility, aristocrats, high-ranking military personnel as well as soldiers and seamen. Where possible, the careers and exploits of these former owners are highlighted, bringing both personal and historical context to these beautifully crafted artifacts. By the 19th century, swords and daggers were no longer effective fighting weapons, but they maintained their popularity in Western Europe as uniform regalia. They were carried as a symbol of authority, achievement, and most importantly, honor. These weapons were produced with great skill and at high cost, requiring the skill of specialized artisans, often using precious metals and ivory, elaborate hand engraving and chiseling. Blades were fabricated of the highest quality Solingen steel. Folded steel Damascus blades were also painstakingly produced. Many examples are unique and border on singular works of art.

Cinematic Metaphor

Experience – Affectivity – Temporality

By: Cornelia Müller,Hermann Kappelhoff

Metaphors in audiovisual media receive increasing attention from film and communication studies as well as from linguistics and multimodal metaphor research. The specific media character of film, and thus of cinematic metaphor, remains, however, largely ignored. Audiovisual images are all too frequently understood as iconic representations and material carriers of information. Cinematic Metaphor proposes an alternative: starting from film images as affective experience of movement-images, it replaces the cognitive idea of viewers as information-processing machines, and heals the break with rhetoric established by conceptual metaphor theory. Subscribing to a phenomenological concept of embodiment, a shared vantage point for metaphorical meaning-making in film-viewing and face-to-face interaction is developed. The book offers a critique of cognitive film and metaphor theories and a theory of cinematic metaphor as performative action of meaning-making, grounded in the dynamics of viewers' embodied experiences with a film. Fine-grained case studies ranging from Hollywood to German feature film and TV news, from tango lesson to electoral campaign commercial, illustrate the framework’s application to media and multimodality analysis.

Geschenkdolche und militärische Ehrendolche der DDR

By: Roman Korinth,Hermann Hampe

Das Sammeln von militärischen Dolchen ist ein weltweit verbreitetes Hobby und über die Jahre des Sammelns spezialisiert sich jeder Sammler auf eine Zeitepoche, ein bestimmtes Territorium oder die Einsatzgebiete und Anwendungsbereiche. Die Deutsche Demokratische Republik gab es nur 40 Jahre, trotzdem gab es sehr viele verschiedene militärische Ehren-, Auszeichnungs- sowie staatliche Geschenkdolche. Diese sind im Beliebtheitsgrad der Sammlerszene in den letzten fünfzehn Jahren sehr gestiegen. Originale Dolche werden immer seltener auf dem Markt. Wir zeigen in unseren Büchern nur gesicherte Originale. Jede Dolchvariante hat eine Geschichte, sei es die Herstellung, die Oberflächenveredelung oder der Grund für die Ausgabe. Dazu kommen die Persönlichkeiten, die diese Dolche führten oder als Geschenk aus verschiedenen Gründen erhielten. Vieles aus der Geschichte der DDR Blankwaffen ist bis heute nur lückenhaft bekannt oder erforscht. Dazu kommt, dass es kaum Literatur zu diesem interessanten Sammelgebiet gibt. Neben dem Interesse an Blankwaffen war es die Absicht der Autoren auch einen Teil der Geschichte der DDR und der Träger und Beschenkten dieser Ehrendolche dem Leser näher zu bringen. Gerade dieses Verbinden eines Sammlungsgegenstandes mit der Geschichte macht die Beschäftigung mit diesem Thema lebendig und spannend. Dieses Buch beantwortet nahezu alle Fragen, die mit diesen Blankwaffen einhergehen. Dem Interessierten wird ein Werk zur Verfügung gestellt, das den derzeitigen Wissenstand abbildet und zu einem tieferen Befassen mit diesen Dolchen und ihrer Geschichte einlädt.

Biological Materials of Marine Origin

Vertebrates

By: Hermann Ehrlich

This is the second monograph by the author on biological materials of marine origin. The initial book is dedicated to the biological materials of marine invertebrates. This work is a source of modern knowledge on biomineralization, biomimetics and materials science with respect to marine vertebrates. For the first time in scientific literature the author gives the most coherent analysis of the nature, origin and evolution of biocomposites and biopolymers isolated from and observed in the broad variety of marine vertebrate organisms (fish, reptilian, birds and mammals) and within their unique hierarchically organized structural formations. There is a wealth of new and newly synthesized information, including dozens of previously unpublished images of unique marine creatures including extinct, extant and living taxa and their biocomposite-based structures from nano- to micro – and macroscale. This monograph reviews the most relevant advances in the marine biological materials research field, pointing out several approaches being introduced and explored by distinct modern laboratories.

Was ist Wahrheit anderes als ein Leben für eine Idee?

Kierkegaards Existenzdenken und die Inspiration des Pragmatismus : gesammelte Aufsätze zur Theologie und Religionsphilosophie

By: Hermann Deuser

Existenzdenken und Pragmatismus bezeichnen zwei Orientierungszentren der Philosophie seit dem 19. Jahrhundert, deren Differenz und Zusammenhang erst heute wirklich bewusst werden. Die Vorrangigkeit der Aufgabe des Existierens eines einzelnen Menschen und das naturwissenschaftlich-pragmatische Methodenbewusstsein haben ihre Gemeinsamkeit in der Entdeckung und Verteidigung der kreativen Lebens-, Entscheidungs- und Handlungssituation allen Verstehens. Hinzu kommt die parallel entwickelte Kritik idealistischer wie materialistischer Metaphysik der europäischen Denktradition, allerdings in der unübersehbaren Tendenz einer Philosophie des Geistes, die zu einer allgemeinen - und insofern in neuem Sinn durchaus metaphysischen - Begründung von Religionstheorie und Theologie in der Lage ist. Charles S. Peirce' kategoriale Semiotik liefert die zeitgemäßen Denkbedingungen, um sowohl der Eigenständigkeit der Religiosität wie ihrer wissenschaftlichen Darstellungsfähigkeit entsprechen zu können. Die hier vorgelegten Aufsätze aus dreißig Jahren sind einerseits auf bestimmte Phasen der Kierkegaard-Rezeption bezogen, andererseits auf Detailstudien zu systematisch-theologischen und religionsphilosophischen Texten, Werken, Methodenfragen, und auf Konfliktfelder in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion (darunter William James' Religionsauffassung, Paul Tillichs Symbolbegriff, Kierkegaards Christologie, Vergleichspunkte zu Schleiermacher, Thomas Manns Mythosbegriff, Semiotik, Trinität, Kontingenz und Evolution). Im Ganzen entsteht das Bild eines kreativen Einflussraumes existentieller und wissenschaftlicher Wahrheit, in der sich wirkliches Leben und religiöse Idealität des Geistes verbinden.

Knulp: Three Tales from the Life of Knulp

By: Hermann Hesse

Knulp is an amiable vagabond who wanders from town to town, staying with friends who feed and shelter him. Consistently refusing to tie himself down to any trade, place, or person, he even deserts the companion who might be considered Hermann Hesse himself the summer they go tramping together. Knulp's exile is blissful, gentle, self-absorbed. But hidden beneath the light surface of these 'tales from the life of Knulp' is the consciene of an artist who suspects that his liberation is worthless, even immoral. --

The Fairy Tales of Hermann Hesse

The Fairy Tales of Hermann Hesse

By: Hermann Hesse

Translated and with an introduction by Jack Zipes A collection of twenty-two fairy tales by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist, most translated into English for the first time, show the influence of German Romanticism, psychoanalysis, and Eastern religion on his development as an author. Praise for The Fairy Tales of Hermann Hesse “Sometimes lush and lyrical, sometimes in the simple language of the parable, these tales elaborate Hesse's concerns with mortality, the unity of life and the isolation of the artist. . . . Quirky and evocative, Hesse's fairy tales stand alone, but also amplify the ideas and utopian longings of such counterculture avatars as Siddhartha and Steppenwolf.”—Publishers Weekly “Hesse unerringly creates the feel of a fairy tale. . . . Lay readers will enjoy this as much as literary specialists.”—Library Journal

Strange News from Another Star

Strange News from Another Star

By: Hermann Hesse

In 1919, the same year Demian was published, seven of these stories appeared as a book entitled Märchen--literally, Fairy Tales. For this first edition in English, we have followed the arrangement Hesse made for the final collected edition of his works, where he added an eighth story, "Flute Dream." The new note so clear in Demian was first sounded, Hesse believed, in some of these tales written during the years 1913 to 1918, the period that brought him into conflict with supporters of the war, with his country and its government, with conventional intellectual life, with every form of orthodoxy both in the world and in himself. Unlike his earlier work, from Peter Camenzind through Knulp, the stories in Strange News from Another Star do not allow for an essentially realistic interpretation. They are concerned with dream worlds, the subconscious, magical thinking, and the numinous experience of the soul. Their subject is the distilling of wisdom. The eight stories are "Augustus," "The Poet," "Flute Dream," "Strange News from Another Star," "The Hard Passage," "A Dream Sequence," "Faldum," and--perhaps the masterpiece of this collection--"Iris.
