Cultural and spiritual bonds with ‘nature’ are among the strongest motivators for nature conservation; yet they are seldom taken into account in the governance and management of protected and conserved areas. The starting point of this book is that to be sustainable, effective, and equitable, approaches to the management and governance of these areas need to engage with people’s deeply held cultural, spiritual, personal, and community values, alongside inspiring action to conserve biological, geological, and cultural diversity. Since protected area management and governance have traditionally been based on scientific research, a combination of science and spirituality can engage and empower a variety of stakeholders from different cultural and religious backgrounds. As evidenced in this volume, stakeholders range from indigenous peoples and local communities to those following mainstream religions and those representing the wider public. The authors argue that the scope of protected area management and governance needs to be extended to acknowledge the rights, responsibilities, obligations, and aspirations of stakeholder groups and to recognise the cultural and spiritual significance that ‘nature’ holds for people. The book also has direct practical applications. These follow the IUCN Best Practice Guidelines for protected and conserved area managers and present a wide range of case studies from around the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas.

How does the media influence our everyday lives? In which ways do our social worlds change when they interact with media? And what are the consequences for theorizing media and communication? Starting with questions like these, Mediatized Worlds discusses the transformation of our lives by their increasing mediatization. The chapters cover topics such as rethinking mediatization, mediatized communities, the mediatization of private lives and of organizational contexts, and the future perspective for mediatization research. The empirical studies offer new access to questions of mediatization an access that grounds mediatization in life-world and social-world perspectives.

Aristotle's zoological writings with their wealth of detailed investigations on diverse species of animals have fascinated medieval and Renaissance culture. This volume explores how these texts have been read in various traditions (Arabic, Hebrew, Latin), and how they have been incorporated in different genres (in philosophical and scientific treatises, in florilegia and encyclopedias, in theological symbolism, in moral allegories, and in manuscript illustrations). This multidisciplinary and multilinguistic approach highlights substantial aspects of Aristotle's animals.

Newsreel cinema and television not only served as an important tool in the shaping of political spheres and the construction of national and cultural identities up to the 1960s. Today's potent televisual forms were furthermore developed in and strongly influenced by newsreels, and much of the archived newsreel footage is repeatedly used to both illustrate and re-stage past events and their significance. This book addresses newsreel cinema and television as a medium serving the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts after 1945, its role in forming audiovisual narratives of a »biopic of the nation«, and the technical, aesthetical, and political challenges of archiving and restaging cinematic and televisual newsreel.

According to a longstanding interpretation, book religions are agents of textuality and logocentrism. This volume inverts the traditional perspective: its focus is on the strong dependency between scripture and aesthetics, holy books and material artworks, sacred texts and ritual performances. The contributions, written by a group of international specialists in Western, Byzantine, Islamic and Jewish Art, are committed to a comparative and transcultural approach. The authors reflect upon the different strategies of »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and elaborate forms. They show how the pretypographic cultures of the Middle Ages used book ornaments as media for building a close relation between the divine words and their human audience. By exploring how art shapes the religious practice of books, and how the religious use of books shapes the evolution of artistic practices this book contributes to a new understanding of the deep nexus between sacred scripture and art.

The demonstrations of monks in Tibet and Myanmar (Burma) in recent times as well as the age-old conflict between a predominantly Buddhist population and a Hindu minority in Sri Lanka raise the question of how the issues of human rights and Buddhism are related. The question applies both to the violation of basic rights in Buddhist countries and to the defence of those rights which are well-grounded in Buddhist teachings. The volume provides academic essays that reflect this up to now rather neglected issue from the point of view of the three main Buddhist traditions, Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. It provides multi-faceted and surprising insights into a rather unlikely relationship.

Staat, Gesellschaft und Kirche stehen am Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts vor neuen Herausforderungen. Globalisierung, zunehmende Internationalisierung und Europäisierung, rasante Entwicklungen in Informationstechnik, neuen Medien sowie in Bio- und Gentechnik, aber auch die Folgen der deutschen Einigung, neuartige terroristische Gefährdungen und tiefgreifende gesellschaftliche Veränderungen nehmen maßgebenden Einfluss auf Kirche und Staat gleichermaßen. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Problemen setzt fundierte Information und Sachkenntnisse für die eigene Urteilsbildung voraus. Mit über 600 Artikeln, oft aus juristischer und theologischer Perspektive, informiert das Staatslexikon in kompakter Form wissenschaftlich fundiert, aber zugleich allgemeinverständlich über die wesentlichen Begriffe und Sachverhalte von Staat und Kirche, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft aus evangelischer Sicht. Die gewichtigen Veränderungen in der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit der letzten Jahrzehnte haben es erforderlich gemacht, das erstmals 1966 erschienene Evangelische Staatslexikon vollständig neu zu bearbeiten. Die 3. Auflage erschien 1987. Für die vorliegende Ausgabe ist eine neue Generation von Wissenschaftlern gewonnen worden. Die neue Gestalt verbindet Themenvielfalt, Aktualität und Perspektivenreichtum. Hinweise auf weiterführende Literatur ermöglichen eine zusätzliche Vertiefung der Probleme, zahlreiche Querverweise und ein ausführliches Register erschließen die Themenbereiche systematisch. In der Sache wird mit dieser Neuausgabe das heutige Wissen über Staat, Gesellschaft und Kirche auf dem neuesten Stand der Wissenschaft in handlicher Form zugänglich gemacht.
