Der Pianist und Komponist Alfred Grünfeld (1852–1924) hat "Wiens musikalischen Gedanken am Flügel vertreten", schreibt Julius Korngold 1924. Als Virtuose, Salonpianist und "Liebling" der High Society trat er vor Familien des jüdischen Großbürgertums, in aristokratischen Häusern sowie an in- und ausländischen Höfen auf. Konzertreisen führten ihn durch Österreich-Ungarn, Deutschland, Russland, Rumänien und in die Vereinigten Staaten.Der Großteil seiner rund 100 Kompositionen, mehrheitlich Salon- und Virtuosenstücke für Klavier, sind heute vergessen, bis auf seine Transkriptionen nach Melodien des mit ihm befreundeten Johann Strauss (z. B. Frühlingsstimmen Walzer). Die Einspielungen, die er – ein Pionier der Tonaufnahme – auf Wachsrollen für Edison Phonograph, Notenrollen für mechanische Klaviere und Schallplatten hinterlassen hat, dokumentieren den "Lyriker am Klavier".Diese erste Alfred Grünfeld-Biografie beleuchtet seine Wirkungsstätten, seine Karrieren und sein Privatleben anhand von Briefen und Erinnerungen, Charakterisierungen von Weggefährten und Zeitungsberichten. Der Anhang veröffentlicht u. a. den Werkkatalog und ein Verzeichnis der von Grünfeld eingespielten Tonträger.Den Humor des Pianisten überliefert eine Anekdote aus"Der Morgen. Wiener Montagsblatt" vom 28. Mai 1923:Bei der Aufführung eines Requiems wirkte Grünfeld mit und als die letzten Akkorde verklungen waren,stürzte ein sich outriert begeistert zeigender Enthusiast auf Grünfeld mit den Worten zu"Meister, wenn ich einmal gestorben bin, muß mich Ihr Spiel begleiten." –"Gut", erwiderte Grünfeld, "was wollen Sie hören?"

“Gretchen Starr-LeBeau’s Seven Myths of the Spanish Inquisition provides an excellent introduction to Habsburg Spain’s most reviled and misunderstood institution. Drawn from archival sources and modern scholarship, this concise study presents the long and tortured history of the Spanish Inquisition in an accessible format for readers interested in the intersection of religion and jurisprudence. Addressing common misconceptions about the procedures, effectiveness, and reach of the Inquisition, this work argues convincingly for an updated assessment encompassing change over time and variations across Spain and its empire. Students of the early modern period will benefit from the volume’s logical organization, glossary of terms, and suggestions for further reading.”—Benjamin Ehlers, University of Georgia

Despite there being deep lines of convergence between the philosophies of Alfred North Whitehead, C. S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and other classical American philosophers, it remains an open question whether Whitehead is a pragmatist, and conversation between pragmatists and Whitehead scholars have been limited. Indeed, it is difficult to find an anthology of classical American philosophy that includes Whitehead’s writings. These camps began separately, and so they remain. This volume questions the wisdom of that separation, exploring their connections, both historical and in application. The essays in this volume embody original and creative work by leading scholars that not only furthers the understanding of American philosophy, but seeks to advance it by working at the intersection of experience and reality to incite novel and creative thought. This exploration is long overdue. Specific questions that are addressed are: Is Whitehead a pragmatist? What contrasts and affinities exist between American pragmatism and Whitehead’s thought? What new questions, strategies, and critiques emerge by juxtaposing their distinct perspectives?
