He is the self-appointed sheriff of Raufarho fn, a sleepy town in
northern Iceland, and has everything under control. There's no need
to worry. Day by day, he treks the wide plains which surround the
almost deserted village, hunts Arctic foxes and lays shark bait in
the sea - to process the fish into the Icelandic fermented
delicacy, ha karl. But inside Kalmann's head, the wheels sometimes
spin backwards. One winter, after he discovers a pool of human
blood in the snow, the swiftly unfolding events threaten to
overwhelm him. But with his naive wisdom and pure-hearted courage,
he makes sure everything takes a turn for the better. There's no
need to worry. "It can get pretty dark under a polar bear." Kalmann
Das Thema Recycling wird gegenwartig zwar verstarkt eroertert, es
besteht jedoch noch ein sehr hoher Informationsbedarf bei den
betroffenen Unternehmen. Ziel der Wiederverwertung ist es,
moeglichst viele Rohstoffe zuruckzugewinnen, um so Ressourcen zu
schonen und gleichzeitig die Anzahl und das Wachstum von Deponien
zu vermindern. Auf dem Weg zu einer Kreislaufwirtschaft spielt die
Verwertung von Altautos eine bedeutende Rolle. Bei der Vielzahl der
zu verwertenden Stoffe entstehen jedoch auch zahlreiche technische
Probleme. Diese Probleme werden hier jeweils von Experten
aufgegriffen und entsprechende Loesungsvorschlage vorgestellt.
In the course of the 11th century, the Papacy increasingly claimed
a universal authority over all Christians. Even if this programme
was not fully implemented, it is still the most successful example
of territorial claims being staked in medieval Europe. The present
volume of collected papers approaches this topic from a number of
directions, dealing above all with the organisation of papal power,
legal processes and the ways in which religious ideas were
communicated. The basic approach of the papers is to examine the
history of communication and to analyse the paths of information
exchange and the barriers to communication in a Church which
regarded itself as having universal authority and laboured to
establish this claim.
This volume examines the antagonism between tradition and
innovation in the Middle Ages. There were lines of thought which
presume adherence to authoritative examples, but also believe in
the purposefulness of history, in that, starting from an original
state, there is a succession of redemptive actions, threats of
danger and promises of happiness, and at times even the expectation
of an ideal final state. New processes, new skills, new knowledge,
new ethical attitudes and new forms of co-existence are seen as
representing progressive steps which do not cease in the present
and are directed towards the promise of future happiness. This view
was, however, confronted with those which bemoaned change as a
deviation from past ideals and as a decline, and which held that
the present and future could only be improved through recourse to
tried and tested states legitimised through tradition. There was,
therefore, the legitimation through tradition, but at the same time
there was a commitment to innovation, which was judged to be an
improvement. The image of dwarves who stand on the shoulders of
giants, but are thus able to see farther, demonstrates the
dichotomous attitude of the Middle Ages. The volume presents papers
from a variety ofdisciplines involved in medieval studies. The
papers focus on views of time and change, technological invention,
the accumulation of goods and profit, reform and innovation in
communities and the state, the increase in knowledge, innovation in
art and literature, and the possibilities and boundaries of
progress in human knowledge.

Pope John XXII, elected in 1316, reigned for 18 years and was the
most significant if also the most controversial of the Popes who
resided in Avignon. The essays in this volume, drawn from the
disciplines of history, art, philosophy, theology, and the law,
examine the conceptual and institutional conditions and the impact
of his papacy and seek to show the ways it was organized according
to both time-honored and innovative practices.
