This is the first book to explore prehistoric warfare and violence
by integrating qualitative research methods with quantitative,
scientific techniques of analysis such as paleopathology,
morphometry, wear analysis, and experimental archaeology. It
investigates early warfare and violence from the standpoint of four
broad interdisciplinary themes: skeletal markers of violence and
weapon training; conflict in prehistoric rock-art; the material
culture of conflict; and intergroup violence in archaeological
discourse. The book has a wide-ranging chronological and geographic
scope, from early Neolithic to late Iron Age and from Western
Europe to East Asia. It includes world-renowned sites and artefact
collections such as the Tollense Valley Bronze Age battlefield
(Germany), the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Tanum (Sweden), and
the British Museum collection of bronze weaponry from the late
Shang period (China). Original case studies are presented in each
section by a diverse international authorship. The study of warfare
and violence in prehistoric and pre-literate societies has been at
the forefront of archaeological debate since the publication of
Keeley's provocative monograph 'War Before Civilization' (Oxford
1996). The problem has been approached from a number of standpoints
including anthropological and behavioural studies of interpersonal
violence, osteological examinations of sharp lesions and
blunt-force traumas, wear analysis of ancient weaponry, and field
experiments with replica weapons and armour. This research,
however, is often confined within the boundaries of the various
disciplines and specialist fields. In particular, a gap can often
be detected between the research approaches grounded in the
humanities and social sciences and those based on the
archaeological sciences. The consequence is that, to this day, the
subject is dominated by a number of undemonstrated assumptions
regarding the nature of warfare, combat, and violence in
non-literate societies. Moreover, important methodological
questions remain unanswered: can we securely distinguish between
violence-related and accidental trauma on skeletal remains? To what
extent can wear analysis shed light on long-forgotten fighting
styles? Can we design meaningful combat tests based on historic
martial arts? And can the study of rock-art unlock the social
realities of prehistoric warfare? By breaking the mould of
entrenched subject boundaries, this edited volume promotes
interdisciplinary debate in the study of prehistoric warfare and
violence by presenting a number of innovative approaches that
integrate qualitative and quantitative methods of research and
analysis.

Warfare in Bronze Age Society takes a fresh look at warfare and its
role in reshaping Bronze Age society. The Bronze Age represents the
global emergence of a militarized society with a martial culture,
materialized in a package of new efficient weapons that remained in
use for millennia to come. Warfare became institutionalized and
professionalized during the Bronze Age, and a new class of warriors
made their appearance. Evidence for this development is reflected
in the ostentatious display of weapons in burials and hoards, and
in iconography, from rock art to palace frescoes. These new
manifestations of martial culture constructed the warrior as a
'Hero' and warfare as 'Heroic'. The case studies, written by an
international team of scholars, discuss these and other new aspects
of Bronze Age warfare. Moreover, the essays show that warriors also
facilitated mobility and innovation as new weapons would have
quickly spread from the Mediterranean to northern Europe.
Coaching ist in unserer Gesellschaft zu einem Modewort geworden. Es
wird stark inflationar und auf alle moglichen Lebensbereiche
bezogen verwendet. Beispiele dafur sind Begriffe wie
Hundecoaching," Modelcoaching," Mental Coaching" oder Lifestyle
Coaching." Das vorliegende Buch beschaftigt sich mit der Wirkung
und den Wirkfaktoren von Coaching speziell fur Fuhrungskrafte. In
einer qualitativen empirischen Studie werden die Fragen, wodurch
Coaching seine Wirkung entfaltet und inwieweit es dementsprechend
moglich ist, verschiedene Wirkfaktoren zu identifizieren,
betrachtet. Auf der Grundlage von Ergebnissen aus
leitfadengestutzten Interviews mit praktizierenden Coachs wird ein
umfassender Vergleich mit theoretischen Konzepten und Studien
anderer Autoren sowie einer Studie aus Coacheeperspektive
vorgenommen, die ebenfalls von den beiden Autorinnen konzipiert und
durchgefuhrt wurde. Neben Wirkung und Wirkfaktoren wird dabei ein
besonderer Fokus auf Anlasse, Themen, Ziele und Veranderungen, die
durch Coaching bewirkt werden konnen, gerichtet.
Diese Untersuchung widmet sich der fraglichen Existenz absolut
nichtiger Gesellschafterbeschlsse im GmbH-Recht. Ausgangspunkt ist
dabei die berlegung, ob es GmbH-Gesellschafterbeschlsse gibt, denen
ein derart gravierender Fehler anhaftet, wodurch diese nach
jedermanns Empfinden von Beginn an keinerlei Geltung fr sich
beanspruchen knnen sollten, sondern vielmehr in jeglicher Hinsicht
unbeachtlich und unverbindlich sein mssten - man denke etwa an
strafrechtlich relevante Beschlussinhalte. Eine diese Frage
bejahende Auffassung wrde sich jedoch ber den ausdrcklichen
Wortlaut des GmbH-Gesetzes hinwegsetzen. Denn dieser sieht fr
smtliche fehlerhafte Beschlsse lediglich die rechtliche Konsequenz
der bloen Anfechtbarkeit vor. Es gilt in erster Linie zu
untersuchen, mit welchen Argumenten Lehre und Rechtsprechung dieser
Problematik begegnen. Ebenso soll geklrt werden, welche Arten von
Beschlussmngeln die absolute Nichtigkeit als immerhin drastischste
aller Sanktionen rechtfertigen. Darber hinaus werden die
rechtlichen Optionen ausgelotet, nach denen eine Geltendmachung
absolut nichtiger GmbH- Gesellschafterbeschlsse in Betracht kommt.
Places of Memory takes a new look at spatialised practices of
remembrance and its role in reshaping societies from prehistory to
today, gathering researchers representing diverse but complementary
fields of expertise. This diachronic outlook provides important
insights into the great variety of human and social reactions
examining memory, encompassing aspects of remembering, the loss of
memory, reclaiming memories, and remembering things that may not
have happened. The contributions to this volume expand upon Pierre
Nora’s concept of lieux des memoire (places of memory) and the
notion that memory is not just stored in these places but activated
through human engagement. The volume presents a reflection on the
creation of memories through the organisation and use of landscapes
and spaces that explicitly considers the multiplicity of meanings
of the past. Thus, social identities were created, reaffirmed,
strengthened, and transformed through the founding, change, and
reorganization of places and spaces of memory in the cultural
landscape.
