This book explores the localisation of modernity in late colonial India. As a case study, it focuses on the hitherto untold colonial history of Khalsa College, Amritsar, a pioneering and highly influential educational institution founded in the British Indian province of Punjab in 1892 by the religious minority community of the Sikhs. Addressing topics such as politics, religion, rural development, militarism or physical education, the study shows how Sikh educationalists and activists made use of and 'localised' communal, imperial, national and transnational discourses and knowledge. Their modernist visions and schemes transcended both imperialist and mainstream nationalist frameworks and networks. In its quest to educate the modern Sikh - scientific, practical, disciplined and physically fit - the college navigated between very local and global claims, opportunities and contingencies, mirroring modernity's ambivalent simultaneity of universalism and particularism.

For as long as humans have been making art, they have turned to the sun as the source of light, warmth and life itself. It appears as a symbol of limitless power, as the personification of gods and of Christ, and as a harbinger of change. Artists have also used the sun as a means of exploring light and color and as an entrée into discussions about climate. The first of its kind, this catalog investigates visual representations of the sun from antiquity to the present day. It is divided into seven roughly chronological sections that look at both epoch-spanning and period specific examples, including symbolic, allegorical representations, the iconography of mythological subjects, and mimetic qualities such as typology, phenomenology, and emotional effect. It includes more than two hundred stunning reproductions of well- and lesser-known works. Incisive and enlightening texts explore how solar symbolism figured in pre-Christian objects through 17th-century depictions of the “Sun King� Louix XIV; how artists such as Rubens and Monet employed the sun in their narrative paintings; how the Impressionists first investigated the sun’s effects on a landscape; how Neo-Impressionist such as Seurat experimented with color based on the Newtonian analysis of the solar spectrum; and how 20th-century artists incorporated a broad array of abstract, surrealistic, and transformative modes of solar representation into a variety of media.

From his first compositions to the colorful flower images of his late years, Vincent van Gogh repeatedly painted still lifes. In this genre, he could try out various pictorial techniques - from depicting space through light and shadow to experimentation with color. Although many of his still life compositions employed traditional approaches to the genre, he ultimately formulated an unmistakably unique artistic style. This lavishly illustrated book revisits the development of Van Gogh's career and focuses on his still-life paintings, offering new insights into the working process and creative evolution of one of the most radical innovators in the history of modern art.

Following World War II, Western painting went in completely new directions. A young generation of artists turned their backs on the dominant styles of the interwar period: Instead of figurative representation or geometric abstraction, painters in the orbit of Abstract Expressionism in the US and Art Informel in Western Europe pursued a radically impulsive approach to form, color, and material. As an expression of individual freedom, the spontaneous artistic gesture gained symbolic significance. Large-scale color-field compositions created a meditative space for ruminating the fundamental questions of human existence. The exhibition and catalogue examine the two sister movements against the background of a vibrant transatlantic exchange, from the 1940s through to the end of the Cold War. This lavishly illustrated volume brings together works by more than 50 artists, amongst them Alberto Burri, Jean Dubuffet, Helen Frankenthaler, K. O. Goetz, Franz Kline, Lee Krasner, Georges Mathieu, Joan Mitchell, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, Judit Reigl, Mark Rothko, Hedda Sterne, Clyfford Still, and Jack Tworkov.

In the 19th century, numerous photographers chose the same motifs as Impressionist painters: the forest of Fontainebleau, the cliffs of Etretat or the modern metropolis of Paris. They, too, studied the changing light, seasons and weather conditions. From its inception, photographers pursued artistic ambitions, as evidenced by their experimentation with composition and perspective, by means of various technical procedures. Until the First World War, the relationship between photography and painting was characterized both by competition and mutual influence. The exhibition and catalogue examine these interactions and illuminate the development of the new medium from the 1850s to its establishment as an autonomous art form around 1900. With contributions by: Dominique De Font-Reaulx, Monika Faber, Matthias Kruger, Ulrich Pohlmann, Esther Ruelfs, Helene Von Saldern, Bernd Stiegler, and Daniel Zamani.

Discover how painters such as Van Gogh, Mondrian, and Jacoba van Heemskerck drew on the legacy of Dutch landscapes and realism to put their own spin on the Impressionist movement. Impressionism may have originated in France, but artists in late 19th- and early 20th-century Netherlands quickly made it their own. The genre’s vibrant colors and focus on light and atmosphere were a perfect complement to the country’s groundbreaking traditions of landscape painting and realism. This exhibition catalog brings more than a hundred works by nearly forty artists including Johan Barthold Jongkind, Vincent van Gogh, Jacoba van Heemskerck, and Piet Mondrian. It traces the birth of the Hague School, whose practitioners captured the changing moods of light in the coastline’s vast, grey skies. And it explores the Amsterdam Impressionists, whose cityscapes offered realistic images of modern life. Alongside vibrant reproductions of masterworks, a series of lively essays explore a diverse array of topics, including Dutch landscape painting within an international context; Dutch artist settlements and communities; and iconography in Dutch impressionism.

Capturing fleeting natural impressions played a central role in the art of Claude Monet. He deeply engaged with the landscape and light of different places, from the metropolis of Paris to the Seine villages of Argenteuil and Giverny. This lavishly illustrated new paperback edition explores the development of Monet's art from the 1850s to the 1920s, focusing on the places, both at home and on his frequent travel, from which he drew inspiration for his painting. In addition, the book traces the critical shift in Monet's art that occurred when he began to focus on series of the same subjects such as haystacks, poplars, and the water lilies and pond at his meticulously designed garden in Giverny. Insightful and revealing, the book deepens our appreciation of Monet's art and allows us to experience anew his gift for bringing the natural world to life.

Der vorliegende Band beinhaltet klinisch relevante Beitr{ge wie etwa die Beziehung der Prim{rpers-nlichkeit zur Melancholie, Manie, Schizophrenie, Migr{ne, pr{menstruellen Syndrom sowie die therapeutischen Implikationen einer solchen Beziehung. Dar}ber hinaus finden sich theoretische Beitr{ge, die sich mit Grundsatzfragen der Pers-nlichkeit, ihrer Bedeutung und ihrer Wandlungen besch{ftigen. Methodische Wege und die damit verbundenen Schwierigkeiten zur Erfassung von Pers-nlichkeitsstrukturen sind exemplarisch dargestellt. Konzepte der Pers-nlichkeitsst-rung und ihre m-gliche Beeinflussbarkeit geh-ren auch zum Inhalt dieses Buches. Die Selektion der Themen aus einem breiten Spektrum zielt auf eine paradigmatische Umschreibung der vielf{ltigen Beziehungen zwischen Pers-nlichkeit und psychischer Erkrankung.

Das Konzept affektiver Storungen und ihrer Diagnostik hat in den vergangenen Jahren einen durchgreifenden Wandel erfahren. Gemeinsamkeiten in der Phanomenologie sind zugunsten von Differenzierungen nach psychogenen, somatogenen und endogenen Entstehungsbedingungen in den Vordergrund getreten; die an klinischen Idealtypen orientierte Diagnostik ist operationalisierten Diagnosen gewichen. Die hier gesammelten Arbeiten vergleichen die Reproduzierbarkeit (Reliabilitat) und die Gultigkeit (Validitat) verschiedener Konzepte und Definitionen von depressiven Storungen und deren Subtypen im Rahmen des polydiagnostischen Konzeptes; es werden Studien zum Therapieansprechen, prospektive Verlaufsstudien und Familienstudien vorgestellt, und der Nutzen strukturierter diagnostischer Interviews im Vergleich zu nicht standardisierter klinischer Exploration wird evaluiert. Die Ergebnisse rechtfertigen die Zusammenfassung aller Formen depressiver Syndrome unter der ubergreifenden Kategorie affektiver Storungen und die Relativierung der Differenzierung zwischen endogenen und psychogenen/neurotischen Depressionen.

Schizophrenie ist eine bis heute im Grunde zu wenig verstandene hochkomplexe Krankheit des Gehirns, die neurobiologische, psychopathologische und soziale Aspekte in sich vereint. Dementsprechend gross ist die Herausforderung an die Psychiatrie, geeignete Antworten in Diagnostik und Therapie zu finden. Das Buch referiert neueste Uberlegungen zur Atiologie, zum Verlauf und zur Behandlung der Schizophrenie. Wesentliche Gesichtspunkte sind die Langzeitperspektive der Therapie und das Ziel der bestmoglichen sozialen Integration der Patienten. Dabei werden aktuelle Forschungshypothesen ebenso wie praxisnahe Erfahrungen in sehr lesbarer Weise von renommierten Autoren zusammengetragen und dem Leser verfugbar gemacht.

Die Aufgaben des niedergelassenen Nervenarztes fUr die psychiatrische Forschung Wichtige psychiatrische Forschungsfragen, von denen einige im folgenden erlautert werden, konnen heute nur in Zusammen- arbeit zwischen niedergelassenen Nervenarzten und Psychiatri- schen Universitatskliniken bzw. wissenschaftlichen Institutionen gelost werden. Ein besonders wichtiges Forschungsgebiet fUr diese Zusammen- Therapieforschung. Die langjahrigen Verschrei- arbeit ist die bungsgewohnheiten der Nervenarzte in der Praxis konnen das Fundament fur die endgiiltige Wirkbeschreibung neuer Prapara- te sein. Ein neuentwickeltes Antidepressivum, das auf Grund theoretischer Vorstellungen uber den gestOrten Transmitterstoff- wechsel bei der Depression in den Laboratorien der pharmazeu- tischen Industrie entwickelt worden ist, mul3 sich erst im Alltag des Nervenarztes bewahren. Durch haufige Verschreibungen kann er Vor-und Nachteile im Wirksamkeitsspektrum und feh- lende oder vermehrte unerwiinschte Wirkungen mit langbewahr- ten Antidepressiva vergleichen. Ein so\ches Urteil wird auf den Vergleich einer sehr grol3en Zahl von Verordnungen beruhen und kann damit letztlich dem Urteil klinischer Priifungen in Universi- tatskliniken, die sich oft nur auf 10-30 Patienten beziehen, uber- legen sein. Allerdings benotigt diese Meinungsbildung durch den Nervenarzt in der Praxis Zeit. Wir haben am Beispiel der langjah- rigen Verordnung von Sulpirid nicht nur als Neuroleptikum, son- dem auch als Antidepressivum auf die wichtige Aufgabe des nie- dergelassenen Nervenarztes fUr die Therapieforschung hingewie- sen (Benkert u. Hoisboer 1984). Dieser Prozel3 der langfristigen Beobachtung des Wirksamkeitsspektrums eines Psychopharma- kons in der Praxis mul3 schliel3lich neben anderen Evaluations- methoden (Moller u. Benkert 1980) als eine bedeutsame naturali- stische Methode der Evaluationsforschung in der psychiatrischen Pharmakotherapie angesehen werden.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
