William Henry Rich Jones (1817 85) compiled and transcribed the documents relating to thirteenth-century Salisbury which are contained in this work. It complements his edition of the register of St Osmund (also reissued in this series) which relates to twelfth-century Salisbury. Following his untimely death, this work was completed and published in 1891 by his long-time acquaintance William Dunn Macray (1826 1916). The documents collected here include papal bulls, grants from sovereigns and bishops of Salisbury, foundation charters and items relating to church history. They are drawn from five Salisbury manuscripts and are presented in chronological order, more accurately than in previous publications, and with English side-notes to the Latin text. When first published, this collection was considered primarily of interest to local historians of Salisbury and Wiltshire. However, it also illustrates the pivotal role Salisbury played within the wider ecclesiastical, social and royal contexts of the thirteenth century.

The Artist and the Scientists: Bringing Prehistory to Life presents the extraordinary lives and works of eminent paleontologists Patricia Vickers-Rich and Tom Rich, and Peter Trusler, one of the finest artists of scientific realism Australia has produced. Over more than thirty years, Patricia, Tom and Peter have travelled across Eastern Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand in search of the remains of early life, including fish, dinosaurs, birds and mammals. Their successful expeditions, and the many publications and exquisite artworks that have ensued, are a testament to their scientific methodology, thirst for knowledge and eye for detail. The book follows the development of selected works of art covering the last 600 million years of the geological record. Told from the viewpoints of both scientist and artist, the reader is given a unique insight into the process of preserving and recording the evolution of prehistoric life.

Nach dem Ableben meines hochbetagten, verehrten Lehrers H. A. Gottron, im Jahre 1974 wurde mir vom Verlag die weitere Herausgabe dieses Bandes iiber- tragen, dessen Anlageplan seit Ende der 60er Jahre vorlag. Mein eigenes Zutun als (spat hinzutretender) Co-Editor war mithin von vornherein bescheiden und bestand in erster Linie in der Bemiihung, die Herausgabe des thematisch fUr das gesamte Erganzungswerk besonders wichtigen Bandes so rasch wie nur eben machbar zu befordern, ja iiberhaupt in greifbare Nahe zu mcken. So erwies sich denn auch bald in Ansehung der einerseits bereits abgeschlossenen und zum anderen der noch nicht fertiggestellten Beitrage eine Unterteilung in zwei Teilbande als zweckmiiBig, um auch diesem Handbuchband so viel wie moglich an erforderlicher wissenschaftlicher Aktualitat zu erhalten. Denn bei der heute in einer sog. Reform- zeit an den Universitaten in der Regel besonders starken tiiglichen Einspannung der meisten fUr eine solche Arbeit in Frage kommenden Autoren war es offenbar nicht zu vermeiden, daB groBe Verspatungen und zum Teil sogar Riicktritte vom zugesagten Vorhaben in Kauf genommen werden muBten. Um so mehr ist des- halb besonderer Dank an jene Mitarbeiter zu richten, die entweder zu relativ spiitem Zeitpunkt hilfreich als Autor neu in entstandene Liicken einsprangen oder zumindest der Bitte um zum Teil wiederholte Dberarbeitung ihres bereits gelie- ferten Beitrags immer wieder verstiindnisvoll entsprachen. So diirfte denn auch hier zu guter Letzt, der groBen Handbuchtradition des Verlages Springer ent- sprechend - in diesem FaIle kraftvoll vertreten durch Herrn H.

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.

Dinosaurs of Darkness opens a doorway to a fascinating former world, between 100 million and 120 million years ago, when Australia was far south of its present location and joined to Antarctica. Dinosaurs lived in this polar region. How were the polar dinosaurs discovered? What do we now know about them? Thomas H. Rich and Patricia Vickers-Rich, who have played crucial roles in their discovery, describe how they and others collected the fossils indispensable to our knowledge of this realm and how painstaking laboratory work and analyses continue to unlock the secrets of the polar dinosaurs. This scientific adventure makes for a fascinating story: it begins with one destination in mind and ends at another, arrived at by a most roundabout route, down byways and back from dead ends. Dinosaurs of Darkness is a personal, absorbing account of the way scientific research is actually conducted and how hard and rewarding it is to mine the knowledge of this remarkable life of the past. The award-winning first edition has been thoroughly updated with the latest discoveries and interpretations, along with over 100 new photographs and charts, many in color.
