Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg has been one of the most performed operas ever since its premier in 1868. It was adopted as Germany's national operas ('Nationaloper'), not least because of its historical coincidence with the unification of Germany under Bismarck in 1871. The opera epitomizes themes of Germanness, including what many regard as blatant anti-Semitic imagery, and thus ideally suited the agenda of the Third Reich, or so it seemed. Despite or perhaps because of the ease with which the Nazis appropriated the work, it was selected as the first opera to be performed when the Bayreuth festival re-opened after the War.The first section of this volume, 'Performing Meistersinger, contains three commissioned articles from internationally respected artists - a conductor (Peter Schneider), a stage director (Harry Kupfer) and a singer (Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau), all experienced in the performance of this unusually demanding 5-hour work. The second section, 'Meistersinger and History', examines both the representation of German history in the opera and the way the opera has functioned in history through political appropriation and staging practice. The third section, 'Representations', is the most eclectic, exploring in the first place the problematic question of genre from the perspective of a theatrical historian. The chronic issue of Wagner's chief opponent, Eduard Hanslick, and his musical and dramatic representation in the opera as Bessmesser, is then addressed, as are gender issues, and Wagner's own utterances concerning the opera. Contributors: Nicholas Vazsonyi, Peter Schneider, Harry Kupfer, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hans Rudolf Vaget, Lutz Koepnick, David B.Dennis, Klaus Van Den Berg, Thomas S. Grey, Lydia Goehr, Eva Rieger, Peter HAyng. Nicholas Vazsonyi is Associate Professor of German, University of South Carolina

Our understanding of science, mathematics, and medicine today can be deeply enriched by studying the historical roots of these areas of inquiry in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean. The fields of ancient science and mathematics have in recent years witnessed remarkable growth. The present volume brings together contributions from more than thirty of the most important scholars working in these fields in the United States and Europe in honor of the eminent historian of ancient science and medicine Heinrich von Staden, Professor Emeritus of Classics and History of Science at the Institute of Advanced Study and William Lampson Professor Emeritus of Classics and Comparative Literature at Yale University. The papers range widely from Mesopotamia to Ancient Greece and Rome, from the first millennium B.C. to the early medieval period, and from mathematics to philosophy, mechanics to medicine, representing both a wide diversity of national traditions and the cutting edge of the international scholarly community.

The Pulitzer Prize for the most significant book on American history has been awarded each year since 1917, and is thus among the most traditional of the honours. Chronicle of the Pulitzer Prizes for History, the first supplement volume, documents the complete history of the development of the awards in this category from 1917 to 2005. The presentation is mainly based on primary sources from the Pulitzer Prize Office at the New York Columbia University. The most important sources are the confidential jury protocols, reproduced completely as facsimiles for the first time in this volume, and providing detailed information about each year's evaluation process.

This is the first ever anthology of key articles by Johan Galtung, widely regarded as the founder of the academic discipline of peace studies. It covers such concepts as direct, structural and cultural violence; theories of conflict, development, civilization and peace; peaceful conflict transformation; peace education; mediation; reconciliation; a life-sustaining economy; macro-history; deep culture and deep structure; and social science methodology. Galtung has contributed original research, concepts and theories to more than 20 social science disciplines, including sociology, international relations and future studies, and has also applied his new insights in practice. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners, and can serve as a supplemental textbook for graduate and upper undergraduate courses in peace studies and related fields.

Mit der GrA1/4ndung des Corpus der antiken A"rzte an der KAniglich PreuAischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde die Erforschung der antiken Medizin zu einem integrierenden Bestandteil der Klassischen Philologie in Deutschland. Das Corpus Medicorum Graecorum, das eine wissenschaftsgeschichtliche BrA1/4ckenfunktion zwischen Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften erfA1/4llt, war von Anfang an auf internationale Kooperation ausgerichtet und ist bis heute weltweit das wissenschaftlich maAgebende Unternehmen fA1/4r die Edition antiker medizinischer Texte. In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist, vor allem im europAischen Ausland und in den USA, das Interesse an der antiken Medizin in allen ihren Facetten stark gewachsen. Die am 14. und 15. Mai 2004 von der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften veranstaltete und der DFG finanzierte internationale Fachkonferenz verfolgte das Ziel, die Editionsphilologie auf diesem Gebiet zu stimulieren, auf dem sich philologische Arbeit mit medizinisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen verbindet. Ausgewiesene Spezialisten nahmen als Referenten an der Konferenz teil, die dem Arbeitsstellenleiter des CMG, Dr. sc. Diethard Nickel, anlAsslich seines 65. Geburtstages gewidmet war.
