In my archaeological and ancient history I read recently become clear that knowledge of economic conditions and considerations for the understanding of historical phenomena is often of great importance - or would be, because in my studies, this aspect been rarely addressed methodically. It was here that is to close a gap. Fortunately, was the appropriate Standard work for me already on the shelf: of Ancient economy Moses I. Finley . Finley, as far as I was after all mitgekriegt, was a leading researcher on the ancient economy, and emerged from a lecture overview display effectively the sum of his research. The German edition comes simplest possible, therefore, a narrow ribbon in camouflage garb sobre series dtv wissenschaft . The content, however, is nutritious, and the reading requires alertness and concentration. There Finley with the sovereignty of the experienced scholar of his subject, weighted with a sure hand, convincing polemic against unsubstantiated opinions and must build it yourself more than once on very shaky ground his analysis. One thing he makes clear from the beginning: Greeks and Romans, who had been proved in all possible scientific pioneer species as original thinkers, did not know the economics as a science.
The first finding is sobering times. It means that there is in ancient literature no abstract consideration of economic phenomena, lacking even basic auxiliary sciences such as statistics and the terminology and concepts; indeed lack of any evidence that economic issues had been identified or investigated, going beyond anecdotal insight . (If the weather in Egypt was unfavorable, was less grain to Rome and the prices rose - so much was clear, but as an opportunity to further studies on pricing were not, for example taken such everyday phenomena) For us this means. It is simply very little resilient material available , the corresponding investigations allowed us today. For most of what he describes, Finley, despite immense knowledge of sources from ancient literature and epigraphy cite just a few examples, and the assessment and classification of these sources proves to be quite as major problem: Are they trivial or anecdotal individual cases, or is it still , precisely because of its casualness typical examples of common practice?
built from this sparse source material the author is an impressive and comprehensive picture. It emanates from the people and their roles. Stand and define the status within the means of each, along with its economic activity. The relationship between masters and slaves are given special attention, with Finley specifically warns of modern (moral) evaluation and appreciation of freedom and slavery: being a slave, was a very broad spectrum of life mean that from ruthless suppression of independent employment reached. What is more, the concept is so common of wage labor in the ancient world only in a few exceptional cases is encountered: Who was not a slave was free artisans, hardly ever an employee. Similar to the differentiated property is to be considered: Nominally independent farmers had shown in the late Roman Republic to life in general too little, too much to die.
main lesson of the book is well that generalizations must be formulated with caution, not only because of the sources. One must also be "increasingly aware that much of what shines through in our history and archeology books, absolute exceptions represented, such as the Roman Imperial Courts, a historic little more concentration reached of wealth compared to representing ordinary citizens. A methodologically important entry in the record book but I've made, it relates to the small scale variability of the ancient economy. Export production has always been an exception, the great majority of economic contacts were restricted to the environment, local farmers markets or the contacts between a city and its immediate environs. The deciding factors for this were the high transport costs as soon as no ocean or river was available - or in Finley's formulation congenial to the major transport animals of the ancient world: "All three - oxen, mules, donkeys - were slow and greedy." Why was a land transport 120 km expensive than sea transportation across the entire width of the Mediterranean, and who is not sitting near water, had a problem. Moses I. Finley
ancient economy is a book, with its one-time reading, it is not enough. It will be essential to link future reading material with its findings and the highly concentrated plant regularly consulted. That it necessarily belongs in a well-stocked handset for Ancient History and Archaeology, seems indisputable.

Why Systolic And Diastolic Close Together
Commissario Brunetti from Venice or perhaps Marshal Guarnaccia from Florence are known in this country, Sarti Antonio Bologna, however little. This is a shame, because Commissioner Sarti is an upright man without theatrical Macken, who knows his city very well and love without reason to make any illusions. In keeping with the holiday destination I took the long train ride to one of the few of Loriano Macchiavelli's Sarti thrillers, which in German present: the walls of Bologna . Machiavelli, as much as it soon becomes clear, is not content to tell a story. He lets his exceptionally garrulous narrator that is to your heart talk with the reader and even whisper to his main character occasionally one or another idea. This is slightly pretentious, sure, but it gives the book those social and political base, without which the crime was just a simple detective story.
A mysterious dead man who is at the north-lock Battiferro the city washed, and raided the city police against the illegal African junk seller under the arcades, in which on second glance, something is not quite the two starting points of the story. That and how they are dealing with each other, determined Sarti laborious and often unpleasant way: He has to go down that is repeatedly in the darkest night in the rudimentary but effective network of rivers and canals which Bologna runs through now but almost continuously covered and more or less forgotten is [1] . Over time, it turns out that the wanted criminals are still responsible for countless other crimes that they are not afraid to push people out the window and trains to blow, and that they Sarti informed of every step are obvious, but fortunately mostly shoot next to it. Something applied thick? Something very thick, I think - partly because his Machiavelli deus ex machina , Sarti friend, the cunning Meier Rosas, bring into play several times in order to bring forward the plot.
fulfill an important function, but the incredible relationships: they increase the unease that pervades the entire crime. The narrator (and his Commissioner) love of Bologna is great, but it is a disillusioned love to hate a city that sets itself up as great, but has lost their humanity long ago. Fittingly, at the end the detailed resolution is missing. Of course, some people end up behind bars. But who (like me) had expected that the scattered hints and half-formulated conclusions are again taken up and assembled, will be disappointed. Sarti's also busy with other things, that his Francesca! So help yourself to try and move back just to link to some extent the loose threads.

A Diagram Of An Overhead Projector
Our autumn holiday in Emilia Romagna to give me the impulse to point to a hoax, based in and around Bern stubbornly persists for years. Their origin can easily be imagined, and that something like this: Everyone knows that the arcades are one of the most important and best-known characteristics of Bern. More than six kilometers covered shopping malls! This is certainly quite unique! This is almost surely a record - if not the world, then certainly in Europe, right? Bern Tourism formulated more carefully but Switzerland Tourism and the UNESCO Commission make the Bernese arcades without hesitation "the longest covered shopping promenade in Europe." And other Leave this alleged European record from face value.
love Bern's inner love, Bern, Bern fans love: a little less navel gazing a little more foresight would you queue occasionally good. You had to look no further as far as Turin (contiguous 18 km arcades, of which 12.5 km, ie continued to cross streets away). Or even up to five hours away by train Bologna : Along the rust-red walls of his historic center pull, 38 kilometers mostly high, wide and elegant arcades (and other nine kilometers are found outside the old town). world record - so it is said in Bologna. Whether this really true? In any case, the myth of the Berne European records are done so well.

Nylon Overall For Housework
L'arbre of Julie Bertuc (c) elli tells the story of a family and a tree. The O'Neil family lives simply and happily in the hilly region of Queensland, is behind her house, an ancient, broad-leaved fig tree branched . The film begins with a prefabricated house of wood, which is run by Peter O'Neil on a trailer to its destination. When Peter returns from the transport, he suffered a cardiac arrest, loss and pain draw into the house under the tree. Simone, the only daughter and after own perception of the father's favorite child, crawls for hours and nights on the branches of the tree. Soon she is convinced that her father speaks to her from the tree. The idea is childish and spun for soothing and comforting and Simon helps her mother Dawn again take to kick in life. But the tree is not only a source of comfort. Its branches are threatening the house, the sprawling roots of the neighbors. And finally, it is as if crystallized in him Resistive and unspoken, until it culminates and brachial discharges. In the end, again, as it is a house on the road, one without walls and roof, however: in the O'Neil family leaves their tree, with only the bare necessities trunk of the car to establish new roots elsewhere.
L'arbre is a film as a photo essay, marked by long, quiet settings and magistral composed pictures: The wooden house that is occupied by a giant truck drove across the desert, festively illuminated on its way through the night. The view over the rolling plane in the morning and evening. And always the portraits of the ancient, wide-branched tree giant, his long, thick luxuriant roots, his curvy, almost corporeal knots, the silhouette of trunk and branches in the golden moonlight. The slow pace of course, tends to reduce the actions of the actors in stereotypical direction. The great Charlotte Gainsbourg however, be embodied within reach intense the abysmal emptiness and desperate loneliness of the Dawn O'Neil and then their strong awakening from the lethargy.
Product: L'arbre ran here a few weeks ago and now in Switzerland sporadically at best. Also on DVD or Blu-ray Disc, the film does not currently seem to be at hand, so only remains for me the link to the website .
