Taking in events as diverse as the Scottish assertion of independence at the end of the thirteenth century, the Union of the Crowns, and devolution, the contributors trace Scottish history from pre-1100 to the twentieth century, and show that Scotland was a remarkably successful, thriving, and important kingdom of international renown. - ;Scotland has long had a romantic appeal which has tended to be focused on a few over-dramatized personalities or events, notably Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Highland Clearances-the failures and the sad - though more positively, William Wal

Peter Borowsky (1938-2000) was a committed historian and enthusiastic historian. For more than 30 years he taught modern history at the History Department of the University of Hamburg. He left a lasting mark on generations of students through his competence and his way of conveying history in a lively way. This is also evident in the 14 contributions to German history in the 19th and 20th centuries, which are published here for the first time. The topics range from the Hohenzollern region to the political culture of the Federal Republic of Germany and include students in the revolution of 1848, Hamburg's 19th century history, the development from the Weimar Republic to the "Third Reich", German relations with Eastern European countries and the USA. Two texts deal vividly with the history of German historiography and the "Historian's Dispute".

Les rapports entre mémoire(s) et histoire(s), surtout depuis les travaux fondateurs de Pierre Nora sur les lieux de mémoire, ont été envisagé principalement du point de vue d'une approche historienne. Tout en réservant une place décisive à cette approche, cet ouvrage collectif propose, dans un cadre pluridisciplinaire, des éclairages différents sur l'entrecroisement de ces notions. Déclinées délibérément au pluriel, les notions de mémoires et d'histoires peuvent faire l'objet d'un traitement littéraire, philosophique, cognitiviste, sociologique, politique, anthropologique et historien. Le pari consiste ici, à travers la pluralité des disciplines, des méthodes et des objets, à dégager une unité thématique, en dressant autant de passerelles que nécessaire. Les contributeurs se concentrent d'abord sur l'identité personnelle, envisagée surtout sur le mode narratif. Le problème est en effet de savoir si les histoires, conjuguées ici sous la forme de récits de fictions ou de narrations ordinaires, sont un moyen privilégié pour agencer la mémoire et fonder ainsi les identité personnelles : comment passe-t-on de la mémoire vive à l'histoire racontée ? Il s'agit, dans un second temps, de repenser l'articulation entre mémoire individuelle et mémoire collective du point de vue de la transmission des événements historiques : par quelles médiations spécifiques passe-t-on du processus historique aux mémoires individuelle et collective ? Dans un troisième temps, les auteurs s'interrogent sur la ligne de démarcation entre " histoire savante " et mémoire collective sous quelles conditions méthodologiques passe-t-on de la " mémoire immédiate " à la " connaissance médiate " inhérente à la recherche historique ? L'ouvrage débouche sur des perspectives éthiques et politiques s'agissant des conditions d'une " juste politique de la mémoire " confrontée aux traumas de l'histoire collective. Cet ouvrage collectif est tiré des actes du colloque " mémoires et histoires " qui s'est tenu, dans le cadre de l'Education Nationale, au lycée Raymond Queneau d'Yvetot (Seine Maritime) en mars 2004.

Der erste Band der neuen Reihe Historia Hermeneutica, die sich der Geschichte der hermeneutischen Theoriebildung in Europa von der Reformation bis in die Moderne (ca. 1500 - 1850) widmet, untersucht die Geschichte der Textinterpretation und ihrer Methodik in den frühneuzeitlichen Wissenschaften (Theologie, Philosophie, Poetik, Jurisprudenz). Der Band versammelt grundlegende Studien ausgewiesener Fachleute, die aus geistes- und wissenschaftshistorischer Perspektive eine Brücke zwischen der traditionellen und der philosophischen Hermeneutik schlagen. The new series 'Historia Hermeneutica' is dedicated to the study of hermeneutics and its theory in the Early Modern Era (1500-1850). It includes monographs and anthologies (Studia) and editions of important early modern texts (Documenta). In consideration of poetics, theology, philosophy and jurisprudence, the contributions of this anthology treat the history and methods of text interpretation in the 17th and 18th century.

Nepal emerged as a unified state over two hundred years ago, centred on the Kathmandu Valley with its two thousand years of urban civilisation. While John Whelpton's history focuses on the period since the overthrow of the Rana family autocracy in 1950-51, the early chapters are devoted to the origins of the kingdom and the evolving relations of its diverse peoples. By drawing on research on Nepal's environment, society and political institutions, the author portrays a country of extraordinary contrasts, which has been constantly buffeted by its neighbours, the two Asian giants, China and India. Economic and political turmoil over the last fifty years came to a climax in the massacre of the royal family in 2001, when the country erupted into civil war. The book, first published in 2005, is comprehensive and its accessible approach will appeal to students, professionals and those visiting the region.
