"A cultural guide to a colorful European destination that has been overlooked for too long, Hamburg has much to offer its 8 million annual visitors. It is a popular misconception that Hamburg is a coastal city. In fact, despite possessing Europe's second-busiest port, this "amphibious city" lies some 65 miles from the North Sea. Its long-standing image as a "city without culture" is also something of a myth. When the poet Heine remarked ..."

"Folk dancer, forester, poet and visionary, Rolf Gardiner (1902-71) is both a compelling and troubling figure in the history of twentieth-century Britain. While he is celebrated as a pioneer of organic farming and co-founder of the Soil Association, Gardiner's organicist outlook was not confined to agriculture alone. Convinced that a healthy culture and society could only flourish when it was rooted in the soi ..."

"It is a popular misconception that Hamburg is a coastal city. In fact, despite possessing Europe s second-busiest port, this 'amphibious city' lies some 65 miles from the North Sea. Its long-standing image as a 'city without culture' is also something of a myth.

"It has often ben suggested that artists and writers in Germany's imperial era shunned social engagement, preferring instead apolitical introspection. However, as Matthew Jefferies reveals, whether one looks at the painters, poets and architects who helped to create an official imperial identity after 1871; the cultural critics and reformers of the later nineteenth century; or the new generation of cultural producers that emerged in the ..."

This highly-illustrated book provides a lively introduction to the principal movements in German high culture between 1871 and 1918, in the context of imperial society and politics.

"... long before studies of religion in Imperial Germany made little or no reference
to politics, while studies of politics, to the extent they appeared at all, began not
with the church-state contest, but with inter-confessional relations.29 Reinforcing
these developments was the adoption of the concept of socio-cultural milieus,
originally proposed by M. Rainer Lepsius and taken to its fullest theoretical

"And Hope is the article of faith we need most in what seems a world of self-
destructive change.'52 Perhaps his personal example would give heart to future

military training, had first appeared in ..."
