Das Archiv des Springer-Verlags in Heidelberg
by Heinz Sarkowski Springer-Verlag1. Entstehung des Archivs Aus der Frühzeit des 1842 von Julius Springer in Berlin begonnenen Verlags sind lediglich 32 Autorenverträg- darunter allein 15 mit Jeremias Gotthelf geschlossene -, einige Urkunden sowie ein Geschäftsbuch erhalten. 1858 verkauft Springer sein Sortiment; er zieht um von der Breiten Straße zum Monbijouplatz und konzentriert seine Kräfte auf den V erlag. Gleichzeitig beginnt der Aufbau einer nach Autoren geordneten Registratur. Nach dem Umzug des Verlags in die Linkstraße (1911) wird von seinen Enkeln eine neue Ablage eingerichtet. Eine dritte Registratur entsteht seit 1937, eine weitere seit 1946 in Heidelberg. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wird das Alt-Archiv (1858-1936) zunächst zum Reichpietschufer und 1958 dann in das Verlagshaus, Heidelberger Platz 3, überführt. In den 60er Jahren gerät es in Vergessenheit und wird erst 1981 wiederentdeckt. Seit 1983 ist das Alt-Archiv im Neubau des Verlags (Heidelberg, Tiergartenstraße 17) untergebracht. Bei systematischen Suchaktionen wird weiteres Material in verschiedenen Abteilungen des Ver lags sichergestellt und die Autorenkorrespondenz auch der folgenden Jahre in die archivische Betreuung über nommen. 3 2. Zur Geschichte des Verlags 1842-1877 Am 10. Mai 1842 gründet Julius Springer (1817-1877) in der Breiten Straße zu Berlin eine Buchhandlung und beginnt schon im selben Jahr, auch verlegerisch tätig zu werden. Zunächst veröffentlicht er Broschüren zu politi schen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und religiösen Fragen des Tages. Wichtigster Autor dieser ersten Jahre ist Jere mias Gotthelf, von dem Springer 1846 die ersten Bücher herausbringt und dessen Gesammelte Schriften er von 1856 bis 1858 in 24 Bänden verlegt.
Deceptive Advertising: Behavioral Study of A Legal Concept (Routledge Communication Series)
by Jef RichardsThis is the first book designed to assist behavioral scientists in the preparation of scholarly or applied research regarding deceptive advertising which will ultimately affect public policy in this area. Because there was an inadequate foundation upon which to build a program of research for this topic, a three-part solution has been devised: 1) a review of how deception is viewed and regulated 2) a theory of how consumers process deceptive information 3) a sensitive and consistent means of measuring deceptiveness. This text provides detailed discussions regarding the intersection of law and behavioral science and its application to deceptive advertising. In so doing, it offers a solid foundation upon which to base expanded behavioral research into how consumers are deceived by advertising claims, and what cognitive processes are involved in that deception.

Diaries and Journals of Literary Women from Fanny Burney to Virginia Woolf: From Fanny Burney To Virginia Woolf
by J. SimonsThis highly original book investigates the part played by their personal writings in the lives of eight literary women. Can private journals provide information about their authors' public works? Do diaries dramatise the development of an individual literary `voice'? What was the special attraction of the diary form for women, and why has it been so undervalued? Drawing on current feminist critical approaches, Judy Simons explores these and other questions in a stimulating and wide-ranging study of women's diary writing, which revises our entire way of thinking about this traditionally neglected genre and its particular implications for the woman writer.
The Diaries of Franz Kafka
by Franz KafkaAvailable for the first time in English, the complete, uncensored diaries of one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers 'The writing glimmers with sensitivity, and openness to the world' - The Wall Street JournalDating from 1909 to 1923, Franz Kafka’s Diaries contains a broad array of writing, including accounts of daily events, assorted reflections and observations, literary sketches, drafts of letters, records of dreams, and unrevised texts of stories. This volume makes available for the first time in English a comprehensive reconstruction of Kafka’s handwritten diary entries and provides substantial new content, restoring all the material omitted from previous publications — notably, names of people and undisguised details about them, a number of literary writings, and passages of a sexual nature, some of them with homoerotic overtones.By faithfully reproducing the diaries’ distinctive — and often surprisingly unpolished — writing as it appeared in Kafka’s notebooks, translator Ross Benjamin brings to light not only the author’s use of the diaries for literary invention and unsparing self-examination but also their value as a work of genius in and of themselves.
Dictionary of Riddles (Routledge Revivals)
by Mark BryantOriginally published in 1990 by Routledge, Dictionary of Riddles is a collection of nearly 1500 of the most cryptic and entertaining riddles from history. Drawn from sources throughout the world, the collection ranges from earthy medieval jokes about fleas, worms and vegetables to the sophisticated puzzles composed by literary figures from Schiller, Swift, Voltaire, Rousseau and Cervantes to Edgar Allan Poe, Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien. The book traces the history of riddles from their origins in antiquity through the golden age of the Renaissance, to their decline into the nursery and the first few signs of their modern revival, and draws together all the strands of the riddling art. Dictionary of Riddles received a Special Commendation in Reference Review’s Best Specialist Reference Books of 1990 Awards.

Die strategische (Ohn-) Macht der Friedensbewegung: Kommunikations- und Entscheidungsstrukturen in den achtziger Jahren
by Thomas LeifDer Autor untersucht detailliert und mit konkreten Beispielen aus der Praxis der Friedensbewegung die Kommunikations- und Entscheidungsstrukturen sowie die Entwicklung der Strategiediskussion der größten Bewegung in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse stehen die Erfolge und Defizite der 'professionellen Bewegung', die Einordnung der beteiligten Gruppen mit ihren oft gegensätzlichen politischen Profilen sowie ihrer Einflußsphären in den Gremien und Aktionskonferenzen. Die Untersuchung weist nach, daß der Anspruch der Basisdemokratie im Machtkampf der beteiligten Spektren oft unterging, und hinterfragt damit die häufig von Mythen begleitete Bewegungsforschung und Bewegungspraxis.
Discourse and the Translator
by B. Hatim Ian MasonDiscourse and the Translator both incorporates and moves beyond previous studies of translation. Its logical and informative approach to the problems of translation ensures that it will be essential for all those who work with languages 'in contact'. Incorporating research in sociolinguistics, discourse studies, pragmatics and semiotics, the authors analyse the process and product of translation in their social contexts. Through this analysis, the book emphasises the importance of the translator as a mediator between cultures.

The Discursive Social Psychology of Evidence: Symbolic Construction of Reality (Cognition and Language: A Series in Psycholinguistics)
by Salomon RettigHaving spent more than thirty years in the laboratory studying human behavior under preformatted, controlled conditions, I found myself dissatisfied with my work. It is not that my work produced no new findings on human conduct, or that working almost exclusively with college students gave me little information on other groups of people, but that the study of human beings in the laboratory told me little about the people themselves. Having been born in Europe, socialized in the Middle East, and educated in the United States, I had entered the profession of psychology in order to better understand different people's behavior. What I found instead was that under uniform conditions, imposed by the laboratory, people responded more or less in uniform manners. The resulting behavior told me little about the people and more about my laboratory. After considerable search for a better understanding of my own formal training in psychology on the one hand and my diversified cultural background on the other, I began to see that these two early influences clashed in some basic manner. Upon further reflection it occurred to me that my own radical transformation in a period of six years, from a poorly educated (elementary school only) adult to a doctor of philosophy, made me see a different world. My earlier world of reality revolved around forms of evidence that were not only never questioned by me, but v vi PREFACE were themselves highly unreliable.
Don Juan: Variations on a Theme (Routledge Revivals)
by John SmeedFirst published in 1990, Don Juan: Variations on a Theme explores the differing perceptions of this famous character following his first appearance on the European stage in the early seventeenth century. The book concentrates on the ways in which perceptions of Don Juan’s character have altered in response to changes in social and moral values. It examines famous Don Juan works, including those by Moliere, Byron, Pushkin, Shaw, Anouilh, and Max Frisch, and relates them to these changing views. It also looks at a variety of other plays, poems, and novels on this theme, and highlights the important role of music in Don Juan’s history. The book concludes with a consideration of Don Juan’s lasting popularity and whether it has run its course. Don Juan: Variations on a Theme will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of Don Juan, comparative literature, and European literature.
