Alfred the Great
1999 marked the eleven-hundredth anniversary of the death of Alfred the Great, and to mark this event, two international conferences were held to re-evaluate and contextualise Alfred's achievements and the developments of his reign. This volume includes papers given at both events and provides substantial assessments, by leading scholars, of issues of source-criticism, of the large corpus of Old English literature associated with Alfred and of developments in government and society in late ninth-century England. It also explores how Alfred and his kingdom related to the wider geo-political and cultural situation in the British isles and continental Europe, and closes with a substantial survey of the uses and shifts in Alfred's reputation in the centuries following his death. This substantial and wide ranging volume will become a standard reference work for anyone interested in Old English literature or Anglo-Saxon history, and will set the pattern of future scholarly debate.

Alfred Döblin
Döblin’s texts, which range widely across contemporary discourses, are paradigms of the encounter between literary and scientific modernity. With their use of ‛Tatsachenphantasie’, they explode conventional language, seeking a new connection with the world of objects and things. This volume reassesses and reevaluates the uniquely interdisciplinary quality of Döblin’s interdiscursive, factually-inspired poetics by offering challenging new perspectives on key works. The volume analyses not only some of Döblin’s best-known novels and stories, but also neglected works including his early medical essays, political journalism and autobiographical texts. Other topics addressed are Döblin’s engagement with German history; his relation to medical discourse; his topography of Berlin; his aestheticisation of his own biography and his relation to other major writers such as Heine, Benn, Brecht and Sebald. With contributions in English and in German by scholars from Germany and the United Kingdom, the volume presents insights into Döblin that are of value to advanced researchers and to students alike.

Alfred Nobel
Nobel-ein Name, der fast jedem Menschen gelaufig ist im Zusam menhang mit dem Sprengstoff Dynamit, aber vor aHem durch die von ihm gestifteten, aHjahrlich am 10. Dezember, seinem Todestag, verliehenen Preise. Die Nobelpreise gehoren zu den wenn auch immer wieder umstrittenen, so doch begehrtesten Preisen in den Naturwissenschaften, der Literatur und Politik, nicht so sehr wegen der damit verbundenen finanzieHen Zuwendungen, sondern vor aHem wegen des geseHschaftlichen Ansehens, das die Laureaten erlangen. Hinter den Preisen soHte aber nicht die Person Alfred Nobels ver gessen werden, nicht nur, wei! er als Stifter eine gewisse Aufmerk samkeit verdient, sondern vor aHem, wei! er in vielem ein typi scher Vertreter jener Erfinder- und Unternehmergeneration des 19. Jahrhunderts ist, die mit ihrer Arbeit einen wichtigen Grund stein fiir die Entwicklung des Monopolkapitalismus gelegt, dabei aber im gesamthistorischen ProzeB eine durchaus positive RoHe gespielt hat. In romanhaften Umschreibungen wurde Nobel als "Der einsamste Millionar" oder als "Der Mann, den niemand kannte" bezeichnet, sicher nur sehr einseitige Charakterisierungen. Tatsiichlich lebte er recht zuriickgezogen von der geseHschaftlichen Offentlichkeit."

Internationales Alfred-Doeblin-Kolloquium Cambridge 2017
Das Verhältnis Mensch – Natur und das Leben in einer technisierten Welt sind Themenbereiche, die Alfred Döblin in seinen Erzählwerken und Essays immer wieder – und in mannigfaltigen Beziehungen – erkundet hat. Die hier versammelten Beiträge bieten neue Einsichten in die Entwicklung von Döblins Natur- und Weltauffassung. Sie befassen sich mit seiner Aufarbeitung der mit der Technik verbundenen Wissenskultur und sozialer Praxis, mit den Beziehungen zwischen seiner Thematik und aktuellen Erörterungen des ‚Posthumanen’ sowie mit Aspekten seiner Erzählpraxis und ethischen Orientierung, die mit diesen Themen verbunden sind. Der Band dokumentiert das 21. Internationale Alfred-Döblin-Kolloquium, das 2017 zum Thema „Natur, Technik und das (Post-)Humane in den Schriften Alfred Döblins" in Cambridge, England, tagte.

Geometry of Time and Space
Alfred Robb (1873–1936) was a British physicist who worked extensively in the area of special relativity. Originally published in 1936, this book essentially formed a second edition to Robb's A Theory of Time and Space (1914). The alteration in the title was made since it was thought the word 'geometry' better reflected the contents of the text. A considerable amount of fresh material was introduced for the second edition, with the introduction being rewritten and extended, whilst the proofs of a number of theorems were curtailed and simplified. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in special relativity and the history of science.
