The historic peoples and kingdoms of Atlantic Scotland-the Picts, Scots and the Norse-have their roots in the prehistory of the region. Until recently the study of that prehistory focused on the monumental architecture of brochs and wheelhouses to the virtual exclusion of wider concerns. Beyond the Broths attempts to broaden this approach and gives an invaluable reappraisal of the period when prehistory merges into written history. Concentrating on the Later Iron Age excavators summarise their latest research from specific important sites in the region and link the available material evidence with the later historically documented kingdoms and power structures of the Picts and Vikings. They discuss questions of regional diversity and development, aspects of the material culture, and re-evaluate the period as a whole. Traditional structural typological and diffusionist methods are abandoned in favour of new models of development and change. Ian Armit is a freelance archaeologist attached to the Department of Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, and Chairman of the Scottish Archaeological Forum.

Mit seinem dichterischen Werk – vor allem seinen Romanen – und seinen Schriften zur Literatur, Philosophie und Politik gehört Hermann Broch zu den innovativsten deutschsprachigen Schriftstellern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Handbuch wurde in Kooperation mit einem internationalen Forscherteam realisiert. Es stellt Brochs Biographie sowie sein gesamtes literarisches und essayistisches Werk vor, analysiert es in seinen Kontexten und gewichtet es neu.

Ms. Schlant's admiration and care for Broch's books comes through her detailed exploration of Broch and his writing in a very readable and enjoyable way. I've owned this book for years and, as I also enjoy Broch, I refer to it often. She does not dissect his writing, but serves as more of an intermediary to a better understanding of what Broch was trying to accomplish and brings us, perhaps, a bit closer to Broch's thought process (his essays will serve you well there). The biographical is well integrated within the discussions of his writings, and his life was enough of a story itself to bring further interest to this book. In closing, if I might, I'll leave you with the first two sentences of Michael P. Steinberg's forward: "Hermann Broch was a man of many genres. If his novels, plays, stories, and political and philosophical writings can be said to share a single theme, that theme is the limits of human consciousness in a politically saturated world." ~Amazon Reviewer

By any measure, Hermann Broch was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Author of The Sleepwalkers and The Spell, he stands, together with James Joyce and Marcel Proust, at the pinnacle of literary Modernism. Born in 1886, he saw the First World War destroy the culture and consciousness of what had come before, seeing the West thrust unwillingly into the modern age. By 1938 Broch found himself arrested and detained, during which time be began work on his greatest novel, The Death of Virgil. Dozens of friends from all over the world managed to help him find his release and he moved to the United States where he lived for the rest of his life.With his wife Franziska, Broch had only a single child, Armand. While Broch had become preoccupied with deep questions of philosophy, psychology, and politics, his son became a thoroughgoing materialist. Sent away to an elite boarding school when 14, Armand found himself surrounded by students from the richest families in Europe. He became devoted to sports, to fast luxury cars (his father did not even know how to drive), and to the first class lifestyle of his classmates. These letters show the profound breach that developed between father and son. They also provide a portrait of the Gilded Age, a time of remarkable change, as Europe headed on a course of horrible inevitability. Letters from Broch during this time are uncommon, so we also get a chance to follow the trajectory of his life as he prepares to leave his job as an industrialist and devote himself to study and to writing.

This is the first comprehensive history of one of the largest farm tractor manufacturers of all time: Massey-Harris-Ferguson. The merged company remains one of the world's largest farm-equipment manufacturers, with tractors sold around the globe. Besides covering the machines themselves, "The Big Book of Massey Tractors" also details the history of Canadian agriculture. Collectibles, sales memorabilia, ads from old farm magazines, and historic black-and-white photos complete this look at this famous manufacturer.

Hermann Broch (1886-1951) is remembered among English-speaking readers for his novels The Sleepwalkers and The Death of Virgil, and among German-speaking readers for his novels as well as his works on moral and political philosophy, his aesthetic theory, and his varied criticism. This study reveals Broch as a major historian as well, one who believes that true historical understanding requires the faculties of both poet and philosopher.Through an analysis of the changing thought and career of the Austrian poet, librettist, and essaist Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929), Broch attempts to define and analyze the major intellectual issues of the European fin de siècle, a period that he characterizes according to the Nietzschean concepts of the breakdown of rationality and the loss of a central value system. The result is a major examination of European thought as well as a comparative study of political systems and artistic styles.
