Few institutions were as central to nineteenth-century American
culture as the home. Emerging in the 1820s as a sentimental space
apart from the public world of commerce and politics, the Victorian
home transcended its initial association with the private lives of
the white, native-born bourgeoisie to cross lines of race,
ethnicity, class, and region. Throughout the nineteenth century,
home was celebrated as a moral force, domesticity moved freely into
the worlds of politics and reform, and home and marketplace
repeatedly remade each other. At Home in Nineteenth-Century America
draws upon advice manuals, architectural designs, personal
accounts, popular fiction, advertising images, and reform
literature to revisit the variety of places Americans called home.
Entering into middle-class suburban houses, slave cabins,
working-class tenements, frontier dugouts, urban settlement houses,
it explores the shifting interpretations and experiences of these
spaces from within and without. Nineteenth-century homes and
notions of domesticity seem simultaneously distant and familiar.
This sense of surprise and recognition is ideal for the study of
history, preparing us to view the past with curiosity and empathy,
inspiring comparisons to the spaces we inhabit today-malls, movie
theaters, city streets, and college campuses. Permitting us to
listen closely to the nineteenth century's sweeping conversation
about home in its various guises, At Home in Nineteenth-Century
America encourages us to hear our contemporary conversation about
the significance and meaning of home anew while appreciating the
lingering imprint of past ideals. Instructor's Guide

December 1984 G. RICHTER and W. WENZEL Preface to the Second German
Edition The suggestion that a second edition of this book should be
prepared came equally from the readers, the publishers, and from
the editors of the first edition. By a lucky coincidence the
completion of the manuscript and the composition of these lines
comes at the time of the 90th anniversary of the birth of Cuno
Hoffmeister, the author of the first edition, and consequently this
current work may be dedicated to his memory."
Der Vorschlag, eine zweite Auflage diel: les Buches
herauszubringen, kam gleicher- massen vom Kreis der Benutzer, vom
Verlag und von den Herausgebern der ersten Auflage. Durch einen
glucklichen Zufall fallt die Vollendung des Manuskripts und die
Abfassung dieser Zeilen in die Zeit des 90. Geburtstages von CUNO
HOFFMEISTER, dem Autor der ersten Auflage, und so soll das
vorliegende Werk seinem Andenken gewidmet sein. Was CUNO
HOFFMEISTER zu Beginn des Vorworts der ersten Auflage uber die
Schwierigkeiten der Literaturauswahl schrieb, galt naturlich nicht
nur fur ihn damals, sondern es gilt fur uns heute in verstarktem
Masse. Zwar hat, nicht zuletzt durch die Aktivitat der
Internationalen Astronomischen Union, die Anzahl zusammen-
fassender Darstellungen von Teilgebieten, die beispielsweise auf
Symposien oder Kolloquien behandelt wurden, stark zugenommen. Die
Autoren dieser zweiten Auflage konnten und mussten hierauf
vielfaltig zuruckgreifen und verweisen. Trotzdem musste in
zahlreichen Fallen die Literaturauswahl subjektiv bleiben, und sie
fuhrte nicht sel- ten, gelegentlich sogar gewollt, zu einer
Betonung eigener Arbeitsgebiete und Interes- sen. In- und
auslandische Fachkollegen moegen freundlich entschuldigen, wenn sie
nicht genugend oder gar nicht zitiert sind, weil wir keinerlei
Versuch gewagt haben, Vollstandigkeit anzustreben.
Mit der Neuregelung der Zinsbesteuerung in Deutschland wurden priva
te Finanzanleger zunehmend fUr steuerliche Fragestellungen
sensibili siert: Die Zahl der Steuertips in Wirtschaftsmagazinen
ist Legion und ei ne Bank, die keine Spezialinformationen zum
Thema, Steuersparende Finanzanlagen'" bereithalt, lauft Gefahr
bisher loyale Kunden zu verlie ren. Trotz eines offensichtlich
gestiegenen Interesses fUr die steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen
fUhlen sich viele Anleger gleichwohl von der Komplexitat
steuerlicher Fragestellungen Uberfordert und sind unsicher in der
steuerlichen Beurteilung von Finanzanlagen. AuBerdem unterliegt das
Steuerrecht kontinuierlichen Veranderungen. Aktuelles Beispiel hier
ftir stell en die Plane der Bundesregierung zur Harmonisierung der
Zins besteuerung in den Landem der Europaischen Union (EU) dar. 1m
Er gebnis fallt es haufig schwer, einen Zugang zur Materie der
steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen zu finden. Vor diesem Hintergrund
ist es Ziel dieses Buches, den steuerlich interes sierten Anleger
mit systematischen Grundlageninformationen zur Ein kommensteuer zu
versorgen, die es ihm ermoglichen, verschiedene An lagealtemativen
unabhangig von Empfehlungen der Kreditinstitute und - unabhangig
von kurzfristigen Anderungen der Rechtsprechung oder Gesetzgebung
zu beurteilen. Auf der Basis eines so erworbenen einkommensteuerli
chen Grundlagenwissens wird es moglich, die groBe Anzahl von Veran
derungen unmittelbar dem betroffenen Teilbereich des Steuerrechts
zu zuordnen, urn daran anschlieBend ihre Relevanz fUr das eigene
Anlageportfolio abzuschatzen."
Die Arbeit analysiert die okonomischen Folgen der
Einkommensbesteuerung privater Finanzanlagen im Kontext
liberalisierter Finanzmarkte und wurdigt kritisch alternative
Strategien zur Harmonisierung in Europa."

Als das MATHEMATISCHE VORSEMESTER im Herbst 1970 erstmals vom
Westdeutschen Rundfunk, dem Kultusministerium des Landes
Nordrhein-Westfalen und der Uni- versitat Bielefeld veranstaltet
wurde, war es auch ein GroBexperiment fUr das geplante Fer n stu
diu m im Medienverbund. Experimentiert wurde einerseits mit vollig
neuartigen Vermittlungsformen fUr das Fach Mathematik durch
Einbeziehung der Medien Fernsehen, Texte und Tutorials,
andererseits sollte auch die Kooperation zwischen
Rundfunkanstalten, Ministerien und Hochschulen modellhaft erprobt
werden. Damals hoff ten alle Beteiligten, durch die gemeinsame
Entwicklung des Fern- studiums im Medienverbund eine 0 f f nun 9
der Hochschulen fUr breitere Bevolkerungsschichten zu erreichen und
- unter Ausnutzung der durch den Me- dienverbund gegebenen
didaktischen Moglichkeiten - eine grundlegende Ref 0 r mauch der
Studieninhalte einzuleiten. Heute, nach fast einem Jahrzehnt,
scheint es an der Zeit, Bilanz zu ziehen: Von Kooperation kann kaum
noch die Rede sein. Beim Ringen urn EinfluB im ter- tiaren
Bildungssektor haben sich die Partner von einst in schwer
auflosbare Gegenpositionen manovriert. Den Rundfunkanstalten sind
durch die Rechtsauf- sicht des Staates die Hande gebunden, den
Hochschulen fehlt es an den not- wendigen Mitteln und an Personal,
aber auch an Einigkeit untereinander. Die staatliche Seite
schlieBlich ist von sich aus initiativ geworden. Das Land
Nordrhein-Westfalen hat eine Fernuniversitat errichtet, deren
GrUndungskon- zept aber weder eine Offnung der Hochschulen, noch
einen Beitrag zur Stu- 1 dienreform vorsieht. ) Daneben gibt es ein
von allen Bundeslandern geschlos- senes Verwaltungsabkommen mit dem
Ziel, in einigen ausgewahlten Fachern die Entwicklung von
Fernstudienmaterialien voranzutreiben.

of the `Fulda Sacramentary' (Gottingen, UB, Cod. theol. 231), a
10th-century manuscript written at Fulda which represents a
distinct recension of the Gregorian Sacramentary, possibly
connected with the scholarly activities of Hrabanus Maurus (d.856).
The Fulda Sacramentary was richly illuminated; it is also a rich
repository of prayers and mass formulas, and its ample contents
include aprayer in Old High German.

Recognizing the railroad's importance as both symbol and experience
in Victorian America, Amy G. Richter follows women travelers onto
trains and considers the consequences of their presence there. For
a time, Richter argues, nineteenth-century Americans imagined the
public realm as a chaotic and dangerous place full of potential,
where various groups came together, collided, and influenced one
another, for better or worse. The example of the American railroad
reveals how, by the beginning of the twentieth century, this image
was replaced by one of a domesticated public realm - a public space
in which both women and men increasingly strove to make themselves
""at home."" Through efforts that ranged from the homey touches of
railroad car decor to advertising images celebrating female
travelers and legal cases sanctioning gender-segregated spaces,
travelers and railroad companies transformed the railroad from a
place of risk and almost unlimited social mixing into one in which
white men and women alleviated the stress of unpleasant social
contact. Making themselves ""at home"" aboard the trains, white men
and women domesticated the railroad for themselves and paved the
way for a racially segregated and class-stratified public space
that freed women from the home yet still preserved the railroad as
a masculine domain.
