There is no disputing that the coming of sound heralded a new era for adaptations. We take it for granted today that a film is enhanced by sound but it was not a view unanimously held in the early period of sound cinema. While there was a substantial degree of skepticism in the late 1920s and early 30s about the advantages of sound, what we would call technophobia today, the inclusion of speech in screen versions of literary and theatrical works, undeniably revised what it was to be an adaptation: words. Focusing on promotional materials, Adaptations in the Sound Era tracks early attempts to promote sound through the elevation of words in adaptations in the early sound period. The popular appeal of these films clearly stands in opposition to academic regard for them and the book reflects on the presence and marketing of 'words' in a variety of adaptations, from the introduction of sound in the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. This book contextualizes a range of adaptations in relation to debates about 'picturizations' of books in the early sound era, including reactions to the talking adaptation by writers such as, Irwin Panofsky, Aldous Huxley and Graham Greene. Film adaptations of Shakespeare, Dickens, gothic fiction and biopics are also discussed in relation to their use and promotion of sound or, more precisely, words.

European history

Few economic events have had a more profound or enduring impact than the German hyperinflation of 1923, still remembered popularly as a root cause of Hitler's rise to power. Yet many historians have argued that inflationary policies were, on balance, advantageous to post-1918 Germany, both boosting growth and helping to reduce reparations. The scholarly consensus is that there was no viable alternative to inflation. In Paper and Iron Niall Ferguson takes a different view. He argues that inflation was indeed an economic and political disaster, and further that there were alternative economic policies which could have stabilised the German currency in 1920. To explain why these were not adopted he points to long-term defects in the political institutions of the Reich which went back as far as the 1890s and which persisted beyond 1918. The book therefore reveals the Wilhelmine origins of Weimar's failure, as well as casting light on the origins of the Third Reich.

The 1927 Solvay conference was perhaps the most important in the history of quantum theory. Contrary to popular belief, questions of interpretation were not settled at this conference. Instead, a range of sharply conflicting views were extensively discussed, including de Broglie's pilot-wave theory (which de Broglie presented for a many-body system), Born and Heisenberg's 'quantum mechanics' (which apparently lacked wave function collapse or fundamental time evolution), and Schrödinger's wave mechanics. Today, there is no longer a dominant interpretation of quantum theory, so it is important to re-evaluate the historical sources and keep the debate open. This book contains a complete translation of the original proceedings, with essays on the three main interpretations presented, and a detailed analysis of the lectures and discussions in the light of current research. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics and in the history and philosophy of quantum theory.

2016 New editorship Elisabeth Blum, Jesko Fezer, Günther Fischer, Angelika Schnell Not unjustly referred to as legendary, this series of books on the history and theory of architecture and urban development was founded in 1963 by Ulrich Conrads, who was joined by Peter Neitzke as a co-editor of the series in the early 1980s. Now numbering over 150 titles, it is the most comprehensive German-language book series covering these fields. Following the deaths of the two longtime editors Ulrich Conrads (2013) and Peter Neitzke (2015), a new editorial committee was formed to continue their work: Elisabeth Blum, Jesko Fezer, Günther Fischer and Angelika Schnell. As the future editors of this series, it is our aim to maintain the course set by our forerunners. The series has fulfilled its original aim of taking stock of the constructional and urban planning ideas and realizations formulated and achieved over the twentieth century in exemplary fashion. The Bauwelt Fundament series actually represents a history of ideas in the fields of planning and building that extends from the beginning of the twentieth century into the present. The second objective of the series, one that is anchored in its very name, will also continue to guide the development of the series, namely the publication of foundational thought – authoritative and fundamental – rather than passing opinion, of theses and polemics relating to the burning architectural and urban planning themes of the time. Penetrating complex interrelationships and probing them with systematic analysis provides the prerequisite for fruitful discourse and ongoing debate. As a forum for such discourses and contributions, the Bauwelt Fundamente series is maintaining its focus on the areas of architecture and urbanism, supplementing it with the always necessary historical　investigation of important questions and texts and its extension into other cultural and social fields. A strong international orientation and the desire for more female authors are self-evident in such a context. The original graphic design approach taken by Helmut Lortz to the series is being maintained. As is fitting for a working library, Bauwelt Fundamente titles remain simply designed, using black and white for the logo, the images on the front and back, and the eleven-line summary of the volume’s contents. This is indicative of the broad orientation of Bauwelt Fundamente to all those interested in the cultural and social development that provides the context for the creation of cities, houses and other objects, which in turn create contexts for the world. "Architects, it is said – or hoped – have always been interested in the world beyond the boundaries of their profession."

Heidegger, Martin

Im Frühjahr 1927 bekam Husserl von der »Encyclopaedia-Britannica« die Einladung, den Artikel »Phenomenology« zu schreiben. Von Anfang an will Husserl Heidegger als Mitarbeiter für die Abfassung des Artikels, die sich von Oktober 1927 bis März 1928 erstreckt, gewinnen. Die von Husserl gleichzeitig begonnene Lektüre von »Sein und Zeit« findet bei dieser Zusammenarbeit eine Konkretisierung in einem wirklichen Gespräch. Obwohl Husserl schon einige Zweifel an Heideggers Tendenz äußerte, will er die Differenz beider Standpunkte, die die Trennung ihrer Vertreter bedeutete, nicht wahrhaben. Diese kurze Zusammenarbeit hat eine große Bedeutung für die Geschichte der gegenwärtigen Philosophie: Ausgehend von ihr und dem darauffolgenden Unterschied, sind nicht nur zwei verschiedene Perspektiven der phänomenologischen Forschung, sondern auch einige Denkorientierungen entstanden, welche die Philosophie des XX. Jahrhunderts geprägt haben: Die nachhusserlsche Phänomenologie, der Existentialismus, die gegenwärtige philosophische Hermeneutik sowie einige Aspekte des Strukturalismus und der philosophischen Anthropologie. Der vorliegende Band stellt die endgültige Fassung des Encyclopaedia-Britannica-Artikels, Heideggers Einleitung zur zweiten Fassung sowie seinen Brief an Husserl vom 22.X.1927 vor. Neben einem Brief Husserls an R. Ingarden wird hier auch der bedeutende Brief Husserls an Alexander Pfänder vom 6. I. 1931 wiederabgedruckt, in dem eine Bilanz der gesamten Beziehungen mit Heidegger gezogen worden ist. Nach dem Erscheinen in den Akademischen Mitteilungen der Universität Freiburg i. Br. wird hier zum ersten Mal die Rede veröffentlicht, die Heidegger anläßlich des 70. Geburtstages Husserls gehalten hat. Die Einleitung des Herausgebers fügt die wesentlichen Aspekte dieser Zusammenarbeit und die Ereignisse um 1927 in die gesamte Situation der Beziehungen zwischen Husserl und Heidegger ein, um folgende These zu vertreten: Heideggers Kritik der phänomenologischen Methode bedeutet eine Transformation der Husserlschen Lehre, die aber auch eine mögliche Entwicklung der Phänomenologie ist. Renato Cristin zeigt auch, daß die Trennung zwischen Husserl und Heidegger hauptsächlich von Mißverständnissen verursacht wurde, denen beide Denker verfallen waren. Renato Cristin (geb. 1958) lehrt »Ermeneutica Filosofica« («Philosophische Hermeneutik«) an der Universität Trieste. Er ist darüber hinaus Mitglied des wissenschaftlichen Beirates der Reihe »Orbis Phaenomenologicus« und der Buchreihe »Phänomenologie. Texte und Kontexte« sowie Mitglied des wissenschaftlichen Beirates von zahlreichen internationalen philosophischen Fachzeitschriften.
