This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Annals Book I sections 16-30 and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of Annals Book I sections 3-7, 11-14 and 46-49, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed text to be read in English for A Level. Annals I starts with the death of Augustus and the beginning of Tiberius' principate. Tacitus chronicles the uneasy and unprecedented transition from one to the other, in the context of a political elite shaken by years of civil war and unsure as to how best to protect their own interests and the stability Augustus had brought to Rome. With damning references to the servile nature of the new regime, Tacitus vividly paints scenes of confused senatorial debates, and Tiberius' own uncertainty over his own position and the best decisions to make. Opportunistic rebellions in the army are described with dramatic brilliance.

Tacitus' Dialogus de Oratoribus is his most neglected work - there has not been an English-language commentary in over a century - and yet it is arguably his most original. Although among his earliest writings it shows complete mastery of the dialogue from and of Ciceronian idiom. It makes an original contribution to the continuing first-century AD debate about the role of oratory in Rome under the Principate, and raises the question of what a man can do to secure lasting renown. This edition contains a substantial introduction discussing such matters as the place of the work in the author's oeuvre, its style and layout. The commentary is designed to explain not only the language, and its subtle reformation of the Ciceronian idiom, but also the large issues mentioned about the decline of oratory, and the best career for a man to follow.

In the first book of odes, Horace presents himself to his Roman readers in a novel guise, as the appropriator of the Greek lyric tradition. He aspired to add a new province to the empire of the national literature. The first book is designed both to establish Horace's engagement with his Greek predecessors and to create a role for lyric poetry in contemporary Rome. The collection of thirty-eight poems is therefore a dazzling feat of poetic appropriation and innovation, a blend of the public and the private voice of the poet. Classic Greek songs are evoked so as to provide a springboard for reflections on moral and political issues, for the praises of gods and men, friends and public figures, for celebration of love and drinking. This edition will enable students and their instructors to enter and enjoy Horace's lyric world.

Seneca's Phaedra occupies an important and influential position in the tradition of European drama. This new edition concentrates on the play's dramatic qualities, examining its Greek and Roman background. The introduction presents discussion of dramaturgy and rhetoric as well as style and textual transmission. An unusual feature is the tracing of the influence of Phaedra's story on later European literature and music. The commentary has extensive notes not only on Seneca's language, but also on plot, characterization, and the use of myth.

This volume comprises an edition, with introduction and commentary, of the first book of Horace's Epistles. These are imaginary letters in verse, and represent the Roman poet's most original contribution to Latin literature. The introduction discusses poetic form and style, the addressees of the letters and the main topics, as well as the layout of the poems and their organization within Book I. The commentary gives ample help with the language, paying particular attention to its poetic qualities.

Umweltrelevante Daten heben sich durch eine Reihe zentraler Charakteristika von Daten aus konventionellen Informatikanwendungen ab. So sind Umweltdaten in vielen F{llen geokodiert, d.h. Informationen sind einem gewissen Punkt oder einem gewissen Bereich des Raumes zugeordnet. H{ufigsind die Datenobjekte auch mehrdimensional und m}ssen mit Hilfe komplexer geometrischer Objekte repr{sentiert werden. Schlie~lich spielt auch die Verarbeitung von statistischen Daten und Methoden sowie von unsicherem Wissen in der Umweltinformatik eine wichtige Rolle. Aus diesen Charakteristika ergeben sich unterschiedliche Anforderungen an die Informationsverarbeitung; insbesondere empfiehlt sich die Einbeziehung von r{umlichen Datenbanken sowie von modernen Geoinformationssystemen und wissensbasierten Systemen. Wer Umweltpolitik betreibt, ben|tigt schnell umfassende und klare Informationen: Umweltinformation erm|glicht Umweltvorsorge. Da solche Information nur mit Computerhilfe verf}gbar gemacht werden kann, arbeitet das Land Baden-W}rttemberg zur Zeit am Aufbau eines Umweltinformationssystems (UIS), wobei viele der angesprochenen Problemkreise ber}hrt werden. Hierbei findet auch eine gute Zusammenarbeit mit dem Forschungsinstitut f}r Anwendungsorientierte Wissensverarbeitung (FAW) in Ulm statt. In diesem Rahmen hat im Oktober 1990 auf Schlo~ Reisensburg bei G}nzburg ein mehrt{giger Workshop zum Thema "Umweltinformatik" stattgefunden. ]ber 70 eingeladene Fachleute aus dem In- und Ausland, sowohl aus dem Umfeld der Wissenschaft wie dem der Anwendung, diskutierten in einem interdisziplin{ren Kreis, wie Informatikmethoden f}r den Umweltschutz sinnvoll eingesetzt werden k|nnen. Die Ergebnisse sind in diesem Band zusammengefa~t.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Sport - Sonstiges, Note: 2, Universitat Salzburg (Sportwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Bewegung-Gesundheit-Fitness, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gesundheit" wird zumeist genannt, wenn es darum geht, Beweggrunde und Motive fur die eigene Beteiligung am Sport zu erklaren. Dass dieser Ansatz bereits auch im Jugendalter seine Gultigkeit hat, beweisen Untersuchungen, wie unter anderem bereits 1990 von Brettschneider und Brautigam. Hierbei gaben Jugendliche in der Fragebogenerhebung an, deshalb Sport zu treiben, um etwas fur ihre Gesundheit zu tun. Spatestens Baur und Burrmann (2006) zeigten, dass es sich hierbei um sozial vermittelte Stereotype handelt. Es sollte nicht davon ausgegangen werden, dass eine Sportbeteiligung aufgrund einer gesundheitlich positiven Wirkung entsteht. Dies scheint besonders fur Gesundheitsforderungs- und praventionsprogramme wichtig zu sein, welche sportorientiert ausgerichtet sind. Denn wenn es zutrifft, dass fur junge Heranwachsende die Gesundheit nicht relevant fur eine Sportbeteiligung ist, sind jene Programme, die mit ihren gesundheitlichen Effekten werben, nicht erfolgreich fur eben diese Gruppe. Meine personlichen Erfahrungen, welche ich in den letzten Jahren als Mitarbeiter in einem Salzburger Jugendzentrum gemacht habe, stimmen mit diesen Aussagen uberein. Die Gesundheit wird von den Jugendlichen als Selbstverstandlichkeit erlebt. Ihre personlichen Gesundheitsdefinitionen sind fest in der Gegenwart verankert, weshalb Hinweise auf Gesundheitsschaden, die sie moglicherweise zukunftig erleiden konnen, wenig effektiv sind. Zumindest wird die Gesundheit als Voraussetzung betrachtet, um Sport treiben zu konnen, da sich eine gesundheitliche Beeintrachtigung behindernd auf eine Sportaktivitat auswirkt, beziehungsweise diese auch ganz verhindern kann. Das Ziel des Sporttreibens stellt die Fitness dar, wobei zum Einen die Steigerung der korperlichen Leistungsfahigkeit, welche grundsatzlich positiv"

Phaedra is one of Seneca's most successful tragedies. It was the first ancient drama to be performed in the Renaissance, marking an epoch in European theatre. The myth, as reworked by Seneca on the basis of dramas by Euripides, was endowed with fresh power, and his characterisation of Phaedra, especially in her frank avowal of love to her stepson, Hippolytus, fired the imagination of later tragic poets, especially Racine. Roland Mayer introduces the reader to the complex dramatic and literary inheritance which Seneca appropriated and in his turn bequeathed, and he sets out some of the main lines of contemporary interpretation and performance practice.
