What Adults Don’t Know About Architecture

This insightful title explores children’s relationship with and understanding of architecture and its impact on their world.

The bitter truth is that in modern times we’ve built a world that’s far too often ugly or charmless—and we’ve done so because very few people ever feel...

The English Civil War in midcentury and the Glorious Revolution of 1688 were the culmination of a protracted struggle between kings eager to consolidate and even extend their power and subjects who were eager to identify and defend individual liberties. The source and...

In recent years, however, the notion that all economies, both developed and developing, can prosper from globalization has been called into question by political figures and has fueled a populist backlash around the...

Chimära mensura?

Hatten Schäferhunde eine Mitschuld an der Nazi- und SED-Diktatur? Machte der Fall der Berliner Mauer Kaninchen zu den eigentlichen Leidtragenden? Waren Hunde als «Napfsoldaten» «Täter» oder doch «Opfer» totalitärer Diktaturen? Solche und ähnliche Behauptungen, vorgetragen auf einer akademischen Konferenz und veröffentlicht in einer bekannten Fachzeitschrift, sind als «Schäferhund-Hoax» bekannt geworden. Sie haben (nicht nur) den Geschichtswissenschaften eine unangenehme Diskussion beschert. Der...

Jahrhunderts zeigen, dass sie in verschiedenen Kontexten zu verschiedenen Zeiten unterschiedlich beantwortet wurde. Dabei wird deutlich, wie sensibel reformierte Theologie jeweils auf die Probleme ihrer Zeit reagiert – und darum Kirche, Ökumene und...
