Martin Wagner – författare

A Stage for Debate presents a detailed analysis of the repertoire of the leading German-language stage of the nineteenth century, Vienna’s Burgtheater. The book explores the extent to which the Burgtheater repertoire contributed to important political and cultural debates on individual liberty, the role of women in society, and the understanding of national and regional identity.

The relevance of the Burgtheater as a forum for political debate is assessed not by the degree to which the performed plays transgressed established norms, but by the range of positions that were voiced on a given topic. Martin Wagner investigates the roughly 1,000 plays from across Europe that were introduced to the Burgtheater’s repertoire between 1814 and 1867 by combining a general overview with detailed interpretations of especially successful plays. Wagner reveals that the Burgtheater was significantly more involved in contemporary debates than the stereotype of this stage as an artistically refined but apolitical institution suggests. Drawing from theatre studies and German and Austrian studies more broadly, A Stage for Debate revises the history of one of Europe’s leading theatres.

Listeria monocytogenes is still a major threat to public health. A new book in the Methods in Molecular Biology series, Listeria monocytogenes: Methods and Protocols addresses its titular pathogen with protocols and methodologies used in research to gain a better understanding of Listeria at a molecular level. The topics covered include sampling in order to isolate Listeria, methods for their identification and characterization, methods for gene manipulation and finally, methods for control of the organism. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective subjects, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Vital and authoritative, Listeria monocytogenes: Methods and Protocols aims to contribute to the harmonization of the methods used in the field and will therefore benefit all those interested in Listeria research.

Dieses Buch ermöglicht Studierenden der Wirtschaftswissenschaften mit Vorkenntnissen in Ökonometrie den Einstieg in die uni- und multivariate Zeitreihenanalyse und dient zugleich als wichtiges Bindeglied zur aktuellen Forschung auf diesem Gebiet. Das Buch beschränkt sich zwar auf nur wenige, aber zentrale Beweise, formuliert jedoch die verwendeten Konzepte, Definitionen und Theoreme mathematisch rigoros und ist somit bestens als Ausgangspunkt für weitergehende Studien der forschungsorientierten empirischen Literatur geeignet. Die betrachteten empirischen Beispiele sind vielfältig aus den relevanten wirtschafts- und finanzwissenschaftlichen Anwendungen gewählt: Behandelt werden Kursentwicklungen von Aktien oder Anleihen, die Entwicklung des Bruttoinlandsproduktes, die Inflationsrate oder die Arbeitslosenquote und vieles mehr.
