This book synthesizes three fields of inquiry on the cutting edge of scholarship in medieval studies and world history: the history of medieval Sicily; the history of maritime violence, often named as piracy; and digital humanities. By merging these seemingly disparate strands in the scholarship of world history and medieval studies into a single volume, this book offers new insights into the history of medieval Sicily and the study of maritime violence. As several of the essays in this volume demonstrate, maritime violence fundamentally shaped experience in the medieval Mediterranean, as every ship that sailed, even those launched for commerce or travel, anticipated the possibility of encountering pirates, or dabbling in piracy themselves.

WINNER OF THE 2021 NDR BOOK PRIZE IN GERMANY 'A must-read' Lyndal Roper, Regius Professor of History at Oriel College, Oxford Fishing quotas on Lake Constance. Common lands in the UK. The medieval answer to Depop in the middle of Frankfurt. These are all just some of the sustainability initiatives from the Middle Ages that Annette Kehnel illuminates in her astounding new book, The Green Ages. From the mythical-sounding City of Ladies and their garden economy to early microcredit banks and rent-a-cow schemes, Kehnel uncovers a world at odds with what we might think of as the typical medieval existence. Pre-modern history is full of inspiring examples and concepts that open up new horizons. And we urgently need them as today's challenges - finite resources, the twilight of consumerism, growing inequality - threaten what we have come to think of as a modern way of living sustainably. This is a revelatory look at the past that has the power to change our future.

"All human societies, from prehistory through to today, have been characterized by some degree of economic inequality. Arguably, complex societies would not have thrived if they had been unable to concentrate and redistribute resources effectively. We frequently talk about the top 5% or 1% today but, as Guido Alfani explains in this book, concerns about the rich and super-rich and their potential to influence contemporary politics and society are nothing new - just take the Medici family and Renaissance Tuscany as one example. The medieval theologian Nicole Oresme's fear of the super-rich individual acting "as God among men" resonates with much of what present-day economist Thomas Piketty cautioned against in his landmark Capital in the Twentieth Century. As Gods Among Men represents the first scholarly attempt to provide a general overview of role and significance of the rich and the super-rich in the long run of history. With a focus on the West, particularly Europe and North America, Alfani's research spans a thousand years of history. He draws from a wealth of comparative data, as well as insights gleaned from the latest research in economic history, sociology, and anthropology, to show how society's problematic relationship with the super-rich cannot be fully understood without a careful analysis of the ways in which they have built their enormous wealth, and how they have used that wealth to gain influence. Alfani highlights important aspects of their behavior, such as their attitudes toward saving and consumption, or their propensity to act as patrons of the arts and of the sciences or as benefactors of the weakest part of society, to build up a profile of the richest members of our society and to trace patterns throughout history, underlining elements of both continuity and change over the period"--

During the nineteenth century, Yucatán moved effectively from its colonial past into modernity, transforming from a cattle-ranching and subsistence-farming economy to a booming export-oriented agricultural economy. Yucatán and its economy grew in response to increasing demand from the United States for henequen, the local cordage fiber. This henequen boom has often been seen as another regional and historical example of overdependence on foreign markets and extortionary local elites. In The Making of a Market, Juliette Levy argues instead that local social and economic dynamics are the root of the region’s development. She shows how credit markets contributed to the boom before banks (and bank crises) existed and how people borrowed before the creation of institutions designed specifically to lend. As the intermediaries in this lending process, notaries became unwitting catalysts of Yucatán’s capitalist transformation. By focusing attention on the notaries’ role in structuring the mortgage market rather than on formal institutions such as banks, this study challenges the easy compartmentalization of local and global relationships and of economic and social relationships.

Unser wirtschaftliches Denken – über Konsum, Kapital, Profit – stammt aus dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Und ist unbrauchbar geworden. Wie die Historikerin Annette Kehnel anhand lebendig erzählter Beispiele deutlich macht: Ein Blick auf die vormoderne Geschichte der Menschheit offenbart Anregungen für unsere Zukunft jenseits von Gewinnstreben und Eigennutz. Renaissance-Architekten, die Baustoffrecycling betrieben, Crowdfunding für die Brücke in Avignon, nachhaltige Fischerei am Bodensee, Second-hand-Märkte in Paris und Reparaturberufe in Frankfurt in Zeiten, als Kreislaufwirtschaft eine Selbstverständlichkeit war. Teilen, tauschen und nachhaltig handeln: Eine Reise in unsere Vergangenheit, die Lust auf Veränderung macht. Teilen, Tauschen, Schenken und Recyceln – wir konnten auch schon anders – Geschichte, die Lust auf Veränderung weckt! »Dieses Buch öffnet die Augen für eine enkeltaugliche Zukunft, die wir alle schon einmal hatten!« (Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen) Ausgezeichnet mit dem NDR-Sachbuchpreis

Das 750-Jahr-Jubiläum der Gründung des Zisterzienserstiftes Stams (1273–2023) war der Anlass, die Geschichte dieses Klosters, das zu den herausragenden Erinnerungsorten des Landes Tirol gehört, auf eine neue Weise zu würdigen. Die hier publizierten Vorträge der wissenschaftlichen Tagung zum Jubiläumsjahr konzentrieren sich bewusst auf die frühe Klostergeschichte, um in detaillierten Tiefenbohrungen das Spezifische in der Entwicklung des Ortes sichtbar werden zu lassen. Moderne Impulse und Forschungsansätze, die für die Erforschung mittelalterlicher Klöster in den letzten Jahrzehnten bestimmend waren, werden aufgenommen und weitergedacht. Im thematischen Fokus stehen die Anfänge des Klosters, Gründungsumstände, personelle und wirtschaftliche Vernetzungsstrategien, Identifikations- und Memorialfunktionen und die Leistungen der frühen Stamser Zisterzienser auf dem Gebiet der Kunst und Historiografie.

A panoramic global history of the nineteenth century A monumental history of the nineteenth century, The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. Jürgen Osterhammel, an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century, moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era, presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the "long nineteenth century," taking readers from New York to New Delhi, from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the perils and promise of Europe's transatlantic labor markets to the hardships endured by nomadic, tribal peoples across the planet. Osterhammel describes a world increasingly networked by the telegraph, the steamship, and the railways. He explores the changing relationship between human beings and nature, looks at the importance of cities, explains the role slavery and its abolition played in the emergence of new nations, challenges the widely held belief that the nineteenth century witnessed the triumph of the nation-state, and much more. This is the highly anticipated English edition of the spectacularly successful and critically acclaimed German book, which is also being translated into Chinese, Polish, Russian, and French. Indispensable for any historian, The Transformation of the World sheds important new light on this momentous epoch, showing how the nineteenth century paved the way for the global catastrophes of the twentieth century, yet how it also gave rise to pacifism, liberalism, the trade union, and a host of other crucial developments.
