The Swabian chronicles
by I. Robinson
Three of the most important chronicles of eleventh-century Germany were composed in the south-western duchy of Swabia. The chronicles reveal how between 1049 and 1100 the centripetal attraction of the reform papacy became the dominant fact of intellectual life in German reformed monastic circles. In the abbey of Reichenau Herman 'the Lame' composed a chronicle of the reign of Emperor Henry III (1039-56). His pupil, Berthold of Reichenau, continued his master's work, composing a detailed account of 1076-1079 in Germany. Bernold, a clergyman of Constance, continued the work of Herman and Berthold in a text containing the fullest extant account of 1080-1100. Herman's waning enthusiasm for the monarchy and growing interest in the newly reformed papacy were intensified in Berthold's chronicle, and writing in the new context of the reformed monasteries of south-western Germany, Bernold preached total obedience to the Gregorian papacy. The Swabian chronicles are an indispensable resource to the student of the changing loyalties and conflicts of eleventh-century Germany.

October 1994Revolutionen in der Naturwissenschaft
by I. Bernard Cohen, Werner Kutschmann
Wie konnte sich der Ausdruck ›Revolution‹, der ursprünglich immerhin ein Terminus für astronomische Vorgänge, Umläufe oder Umdrehungen von Himmelskörpern, gewesen war, in einen Begriff der politischen Macht- und Herrschaftsgeschichte verwandeln? Und wie kam es dazu, dass dieser gesellschaftspolitische Revolutionsbegriff wiederum auf die Naturwissenschaften und deren Erkenntnisgeschichte angewandt wurde? Ist es überhaupt legitim, den Begriff der politischen Revolution einschließlich all seiner machttheoretischen Konnotationen auf den Siegeszug einer naturwissenschaftlichen Idee, eines erkenntnisleitenden Paradigmas, zu übertragen, wie es uns die theoretische Wissenschaftsgeschichtsschreibung seit Th. S. Kuhn lehrt? Die sind die Fragen, mit denen Cohens Untersuchung über Revolutionen in der Naturwissenschaft anhebt. Cohen verfolgt einen Zeitraum von mehr als vier Jahrhunderten umspannt und nahezu alle wichtigen Bereiche der Naturwissenschaften erfasst – von der Astronomie bis zur Evolutionstheorie, von den Geowissenschaften bis zur Freudschen Psychoanalyse, von der Galileischen Kinematik bis zur Einsteinschen Relativitätstheorie und Atomphysik -, die historische Kariere eines Begriffs, der sich in mehreren Wandlungen und Metamorphosen durch die Naturwissenschafts- und Sozialgeschichte hindurchzieht, um letztlich als der entscheidende Begriff des mit Kuhn vollzogenen sociological turn in der Wissenschaftsgeschichtsschreibung eine neue Auferstehung zu erleben.

Insomnia
by William K. Wohlgemuth, Ana I. Fins
About 40% of the population experiences difficulty falling or staying asleep at some time in a given year, while 10% of people suffer chronic insomnia. This concise reference written by leading experts for busy clinicians provides practical and up-to-date advice on current approaches to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of insomnia. Professionals and students learn to correctly identify and diagnose insomnia and gain hands-on information on how to carry out treatment with the best evidence base: cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the American College of Physicians (ACP) both recognize CBT-I as the first-line treatment approach to insomnia. Appendices include useful resources for the assessment and treatment of insomnia, which readers can copy and use in their clinical practice.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century
Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII
by I. Robinson
The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.
