Das Ringen der Gegenpäpste vervielfältigte von der Spitze aus die Strukturen der mittelalterlichen Kirche. Der Band rückt diese zeitweilige Uneindeutigkeit der päpstlichen Hierarchie in den Mittelpunkt und betrachtet die Mechanismen der Verdopplung, der Autoritätsbehauptung und Autoritätszuweisung in historischer, kirchenrechtlicher, ekklesiologischer, zeremonieller und historiografischer Perspektive. Dabei werden nicht die gewohnten Fragen der Rechtmäßigkeit der konkurrierenden Ansprüche verfolgt und das Urteil über „richtige" oder „falsche" Päpste gefällt, sondern die Idee der wiederkehrenden grundlegenden Krisen und ihrer historischen Bewältigung verfolgt. Mit Beiträgen von Jörg Bölling, Florian Eßer, Robert Gramsch-Stehfest, Martina Hartmann, Jochen Johrendt, Andreas Matena, Harald Müller, Britta Müller-Schauenburg, Stefan Rebenich, Stefan Schima, Bernward Schmidt und Benjamin-Oskar Schönfeld. The struggle of the Antipopes multiplied the structures of the medieval church from the top down. This study focuses on this temporary blurring of the papal hierarchy and examines the mechanisms of duplication, assertions, and attributions of authority from historical, church historical, ecclesiastic, ceremonial, and historiographic perspectives.

L'évolution du climat nous concerne-t-elle vraiment ? On en a parlé au moment de la COP 21, à Paris, puis le sujet a été mis de côté. Ce thème éminemment politique est peu abordé par ceux qui sont chargés de l'action politique. De ce fait, il nous manque un récit collectif qui permette à chacun et collectivement d'organiser notre façon d'envisager notre vie à l'échelon de notre territoire, de notre pays, de notre planète en fonction du climat. Ce livre a pour objectif de participer à l'élaboration de ce récit collectif en partant de l'évolution depuis 1945 de la stratégie énergétique de la France et de l'Europe puis de la lente progression de la prise de conscience de la question du climat entièrement nouvelle pour l'humanité. Le sujet implique une progression considérable de nos connaissances sur le fonctionnement vraiment complexe de notre planète. Ces recherches coordonnées par le Groupe d'Experts Internationaux sur l'évolution du climat sont décrites. Ce livre aborde plus en détail quelque sujets plus rarement traités comme l'élévation du niveau des mers, l'évolution des ressources en eau, sujet de préoccupation majeure pour beaucoup de pays, le méthane acteur en partie naturel de l'effet de serre, la géo-ingénierie du climat, le coût à attribuer au carbone émis. Puis la Cop 21, la réunion de Paris, est racontée avec ses aspects diplomatiques et pratiques et sa conclusion, premier pas universel et menacé de solidarité planétaire.

"The year is 12,800 BP. Europe is entirely occupied by people of the so-called Upper Magdalenian culture. Well, not entirely. One small region, southern Scandinavia, differs markedly from its neighbours. These lines open the first book-length treatment of the cultural evolution of late Ice Age forager societies at the northern edge of Europe. 'Splendid Isolation' summarises more than ten years of research that connects the cataclysmic eruption of the Laacher See volcano in present-day western Germany with contemporary cultural changes. It also offers an in-depth treatment of the eruptions impact on plants, animals and people as well as its cultural-historical consequences. Invoking the term splendid isolation, the author argues that despite the eruptions evidently detrimental ecological impacts, it led to a regional cultural effervescence in the form of the Bromme culture. By charting this past calamity, the book also shows how the study of ancient disasters can be made useful in todays debates of resilience, vulnerability and apocalypse."--Back cover.

This volume contains studies of one particular category of risky situations, namely, those involving highly negative consequences with low probabilities. Situations of this type involve both natural and man-made disasters (e.g. floods, technological hazards, economic crises, epidemics, etc.). Such risks are characterized by two features: (1) they occur relatively rarely (the probability of their occurrence is very low) and (2) they have extremely negative consequences (they are catastrophic). Such events generally cannot be prevented, but one can both try to anticipate them and undertake actions aimed at ameliorating their negative consequences. Consequently, the first part of the book is devoted to risk perception issues. It includes studies devoted to the following questions which arise when people have to deal with probabilities, and small probabilities in particular: How can probabilistic information be communicated effectively? What is the impact of emotions on perceptions of, and reactions to, probabilistic information? Other relevant issues are also discussed. The second part of the book is devoted to protection and insurance against risk. Thus, it includes studies answering the following questions: What determines a person's willingness to take preventive actions in areas susceptible to severe flooding? How do people form their own risk estimates? Research presented in the book extends our knowledge of human behavior in situations characterized by large risks and low probabilities, leading to better comprehension of the functioning of cognitive and affective processes in perception and decision making in situations where uncertainty and risk are accompanied by highly negative consequences.

An essential collection of Stephen Batchelor's most probing and important work on secular Buddhism As the practice of mindfulness permeates mainstream Western culture, more and more people are engaging in a traditional form of Buddhist meditation. However, many of these people have little interest in the religious aspects of Buddhism, and the practice occurs within secular contexts such as hospitals, schools, and the workplace. Is it possible to recover from the Buddhist teachings a vision of human flourishing that is secular rather than religious without compromising the integrity of the tradition? Is there an ethical framework that can underpin and contextualize these practices in a rapidly changing world? In this collected volume of Stephen Batchelor's writings on these themes, the author explores the complex implications of Buddhism's secularization. Ranging widely-from reincarnation, religious belief, and agnosticism to the role of the arts in Buddhist practice-he offers a detailed picture of contemporary Buddhism and its attempt to find a voice in the modern world.
