        Die Entdeckung der Neuen Welt

        Kritische Untersuchung zur historischen Entwicklung der geographischen Kenntnisse von der Neuen Welt und den Fortschritten der nautischen Astronomie im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert. Zwei Bände im Schuber

        by Alexander Humboldt, Ottmar Ette

        Die Entdeckung der Neuen Welt ist neben dem Kosmos das Hauptwerk Alexander von Humboldts. Es bildet den Schlußstein seiner Amerikabücher, in denen er mit epischem Schwung seine große Amerikareise (1799-1804) auswertet. Zum erstenmal seit der Erstveröffentlichung vor 170 Jahren liegt das Werk nun wieder auf deutsch vor – zusammen mit dem zugehörigen prächtigen Atlas von Humboldts eigenen und der von ihm erwähnten Karten. Im exakten Titel des Buches steckt sein Programm: »Kritische Untersuchung zur historischen Entwicklung der geographischen Kenntnisse von der Neuen Welt und den Fortschritten der nautischen Astronomie im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert«. Es geht um die technischen und geistigen Voraussetzungen, unter denen sich Europa am Beginn der Neuzeit anschickte, unter dem Schock der Erkenntnis von der Kugelförmigkeit der Welt einen transatlantischen Horizont auszubilden. In der Analyse historischer Karten, der vergleichenden Lektüre von Reiseberichten früher Amerikareisender, aber auch in zeitgenössischen Legenden entsteht das Bild eines Europas im Aufbruch und einer im Dunst der Zeugnisse langsam Kontur gewinnenden Neuen Welt. Nach mehr als drei Jahrzehnten der Recherche überblickte Humboldt den gewaltigen Stoff vollständig. Der Fünfundsechzigjährige stand auf der Höhe seines Denkens wie seiner Kunst des Schreibens. Der zweite Band dieser Ausgabe präsentiert in weit über 100 aufwendigen Farbreproduktionen den Atlas Alexander von Humboldts und den Unsichtbaren Atlas aller von ihm bearbeiteten Karten. Die von Humboldt gewollte Einheit von Text und Kartenwerk wird so überhaupt zum erstenmal greifbar.

        Estepicursor (Steppicursor)

        by Marcelo Vera

        After the collapse of her life as a couple and the breakdown of her expectations and projects, she desperately needs a place, something or someone to hold onto so as not to remain like a rolling plant at the mercy of the wind. With a simple, profound prose and full of references to popular culture, the Argentine author Marcelo Vera continues to deepen the narrative of the loss. After the publication of his first novel, Solo, and the poem El glitter de los solitarios, he experiments with the loneliness of a separation, the failure of motherhood and the fragility of illusion.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        Grazing Ecology and Forest History

        by Edited by Franciscus W M Vera

        It is a widely held belief that a climax vegetation of closed forest systems covered the lowlands of Central and Western Europe before humans intervened in prehistoric times to develop agriculture. If this intervention had not taken place, it would still be there and so if left, the grassland vegetation and fields we see today would revert to its natural closed forest state, although with a reduced number of wild species. This book challenges this view, using examples from history, pollen analyses and studies on the ecology of tree and shrub species such as oak and hazel. It tests the hypotheses that the climax vegetation is a closed canopy forest against the alternative one in which species composition and succession of vegetation were governed by herbivores and that the Central and Western European lowlands were covered by a park-like landscape consisting of grasslands, scrub, solitary trees and groves bordered by a mantle and fringe vegetation. Comparative information from North America is also included, because the forests there are commonly regarded as being analogous to the primeval vegetation in Europe. This title is a revised, updated and expanded translation of book published in Dutch.
