A pioneering collection of articles on fictionalized biographies of the Romantics in contemporary fiction and drama.It appears that the lives of the British Romantics and the myths surrounding them have a special appeal for contemporary writers.The present volume sets out to explore this renewed interest in Romantic artist-figures in the context of the current renaissance of 'life-writing'. The essays collected here deal with Romantic 'biofictions' by such authors as Peter Ackroyd, Adrian Mitchell, Ann Jellicoe, Liz Lochhead, Judith Chernaik, Amanda Prantera, Robert Nye, Tom Stoppard, Howard Brenton, Edward Bond, and others. Thomas Chatterton, William Blake, James Hogg, Sir Walter Scott, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley, John Polidori, John Clare, and -- most prominently -- Lord Byron featureas the 'biographical subjects' in the works discussed.

Kohle gewinnt als heimische Energiequelle und Rohstoff in den Industriel{ndern verst{rkt an Bedeutung; ohne verst{rkte Nutzung der Kohle wird die steigende Weltenergienachfrage bei gleichzeitiger Substitution des Erd|ls nicht zu decken sein. Die Verwendung von Kohle ist jedoch mit der Emission von Schadstoffen und damit einer Belastung der Umwelt verbunden. Dies Buch stellt den heutigen Stand des Wissens }ber die Umweltbelastungen dar, die bei der Gewinnung, Aufbereitung und Umwandlung von Kohle entstehen. Dabei werden nicht nur die f}r die verschiedenen Verfahren - einschliesslich der neuen Verfahren der Kohleveredelung - jeweils spezifischen Emissionen beschrieben, sondern auch die technischen M|glichkeiten zur Verminderung der Emission dargestellt sowie auf noch bestehende Wissensl}cken hingewiesen.

This volume seeks to put drama and its neglected mental dimension into the limelight. While narrative fiction with its intricate ways of rendering consciousness has been deemed an ideal playground for approaches of a cognitivist leaning, the dramatic genre has been all but ignored by cognitive literary studies. Providing insights into such drama-related issues as subject construction, interiority, performativity, empathy, reader manipulation and reception control, the contributions to this collection testify to the richness and variety of the cognitivist enterprise.

The Swiss capital Bern has seen a fast architectural development in recent years. A vast number of new buildings have been constructed and existing ones refurbished and transformed for new purposes. Among the architects whose projects have been realised are names well-known among the professional community and the enthusiasts of contemporary architecture, such as Diener & Diener, Atelier 5, Burkhalter Sumi or Graber Pulver (all Switzerland), but also the internationally celebrated Renzo Piano and Daniel Libeskind. This pocket guide presents around 80 projects, public and private, realised between 1990 and 2010 in the historic town centre, the surrounding neighbourhoods and the suburbs of Bern. Each building is documented with a short critical essay, photographs especially taken for this book, floor plan and section and a box with key facts and figures. A separate chapter introduces a selection of earlier 20th-century 'classics' and an introductory essay on aspects of contemporary architecture and Bern's building history completes the book.

Ten critics from different European countries discuss 20 outstanding architecture projects in Luxembourg. Their texts open up new perspectives on contemporary architecture in the Grand Duchy and enable readers to get involved in the architectural debate, as after all, they will be the ones to determine who wins the Luxembourg Prize for Architectural Criticism for the first time.Texts/Textes/Texte:Anneke Bokern, Beatrix Flagner, Jakub Gołębiewski, Werner Huber, Jean Philippe Hugron, David Kasparek, Inês Moreira, Maik Novotny, Tom Ravenscroft, Christophe Van GerreweyIn cooperation with the OAI, LuxembourgEn partenariat avec l'OAI, LuxembourgIn Zusammenarbeit mit dem OAI, Luxemburg
