Annette von Droste-Hüshoff galt schon im 19. Jahrhundert als „größte deutsche Dichterin“. Der Katalog möchte im Droste-Jahr 1997 die vielfältigen Bemühungen um das Werk der Droste dokumentieren und den Zugang zu dieser widersprüchlichen Autorin und ihrer Zeit eröffnen.

Before the middle of the fifteenth century the Munich physician and author wrote an herbal that describes the medical efficacy of more than 170 drugs drawn from plants and animals. With its large format pictorial representations of animals and plants, it is the only completely illustrated herbal from the incunable period in the German language. The text is presented here for the first time in a critical edition. Information about the author, the transmission and textual history, as well as a glossary complement the edition. Furthermore, a representative selection of 64 full-page color reproductions is appended from the lead manuscript used as the basis for the text.

This volume is dedicated to a subject that has received little attention to date: music therapy in the treatment of addiction. It sheds light on different music therapy approaches in the treatment of addicts and highlights the relevant theoretical backgrounds. The spectrum of approaches ranges from integrative therapy, attachment theory and self-regulation concepts, to in-depth psychological/ psychodynamic views, to regulative music therapy according to Schwabe, and morphological music therapy. Based on different theories, music therapy methods and interventions are described and illustrated by case vignettes. In this way, music therapy practice in the treatment of addiction is theoretically grounded and described in an understandable way.

The fairy tales and stories in this book draw a colourful picture of Bedouin life and of a vanishing culture. At the same time there are parallels and stunning similarities to the fairy tales of the Grimm Brothers. These stories allow us a glimpse of an unknown but fascinating world which starts right outside the high walls of the large resort hotels.

The volume goes back to a transdicsiplinary conference held in December 2010 at the University of Trier. It contains articles dedicated to tree key concepts that are central to the 'spatial turn'-discussion in the framework of the historically oriented cultural studies. These key concepts are "places", "orders", and "oscillations". All three key concepts stand both for existing and imaginary/factitive entities and focus the discussion on their dynamic features as well as on the continuity and discontinuity of their development, on their interdependence and on the impact they have on each other. The volume covers a wide time period from the Middle Ages until modern times and includes diverse case studies of a manifold range of sources stretching from the architectural structure of a Gothic cathedral to printed (visual and verbal) sources of different genres. In this way, the volume contributes significantly to the cultural historical discussion of the concept "space" within the European knowledge archive.
