Urban histories have emphasized the rise of civic autonomy and proto-democracy. Based on chronicle and archival sources, this volume focuses on German bishops, former lords of the city and fierce opponents of civic freedom. The author investigates how bishops contested exclusion from political, economic, and religious dimensions of civic life (Episcopus exclusus), which culminated in the Protestant Reformation. Four chapters are devoted to episcopal expulsion throughout Germany and the cities of Constance and Augsburg in particular. A remarkable section explores the puzzle of the bishop's civic survival in the later Middle Ages, made possible through episcopal ritual. The emphasis on city, bishop, and ritual will be of special interest to urban historians as well as to scholars of medieval religion, the reformation, church history, church/state relations, and social history.
Demonstrates how an unconscious fear of death motivates nearly all human goals, behaviors, and cultures, examining the role of mortality awareness in prompting social unrest and war.

Seit ein mysteröses 'Ereignis' vor mehr als dreißig Jahren das Gebiet erschütterte, ist Area X von einer unsichtbaren Grenze umgeben. Niemand weiß genau, was dahinter geschieht, aber es gibt Gerüchte von einer sich verändernden und die Reste der menschlichen Zivilisation überwuchernden Natur, einer Natur, die ebenso makellos und bezaubernd wie verstörend und bedrohlich ist. Zuständig für das Gebiet ist eine geheime Regierungsorganisation, die sich 'Southern Reach' nennt und den Auftrag hat, herauszufinden, was hinter der Grenze geschieht. Aber keine der Expeditionen, die 'Southern Reach' in das Gebiet entsandte, um Erklärungen für das Unerklärbare zu finden, hatte bisher Erfolg. Die meisten der Expeditionen endeten in Katastrophen, bei denen letztlich alle Mitglieder ums Leben kamen, und die Zeit, um Antworten zu finden, wird knapp, denn Area X scheint sich immer schneller auszudehnen. Es ist Winter, und eine weitere Expedition übertritt die Grenze zu Area X. Während sie, auf der Suche nach einem verschollenen Mitglied einer früheren Expedition, tiefer ins Unbekannte vordringt und mit neuen Herausforderungen konfrontiert wird, nimmt die Bedrohung der Außenwelt durch Area X immer beängstigendere Ausmaße an. Die Geheimnisse von Area X mögen zwar gelüftet worden sein, doch ihre Implikationen und Konsequenzen sind abgrundtief erschreckend.

Award-winning sales coach Jeff Shore shows sales professionals how to apply buyer psychology to personalize follow-ups, serve customers—and seal the deal faster. What does a sales professional do when the customer says, “Not yet”? Companies have invested thousands and even millions of dollars in CRM technology over the past decade, but frontline salespeople and sales executives alike are still groping for solutions. The problem of drift—a common phenomenon in which a prospect simply forgets about the product offering and goes dark—is persistent and rampant. Technology doesn’t change behavior on its own. Behavior is changed by adopting better habits. The fact is 44 percent of salespeople give up after one follow-up attempt. That sad reality presents a genuine opportunity. In Follow Up and Close the Sale, Jeff Shore offers research-based insights into the customer’s buying journey to teach sales professionals how to: • Create and maintain Emotional Altitude for the customer • Leverage speed as an advantage • Personalize follow-up to fulfill customer needs and provide value • Overcome the mental barriers that make follow-up a difficult task • Select the right follow-up method • Stay in touch without annoying the prospect • “Wake up” tired leads Better yet, this results-oriented book will make the follow-up process, one often dreaded as a grueling chore, to be genuinely enjoyable. Effective follow-up is relationship-based, service-driven, and emotionally positive. It’s about rituals and routines, rhythms and the right attitude. It’s about not quitting when others give up. Follow-up is what separates the good from the great.
