  • The Materiality of Magic
    DIETRICH BOSCHUNG AND JAN N. BREMMER (EDS.) THE MATERIALITY OF MAGIC MORPHOMATA The Materiality of Magic is an exciting new book about an aspect of magic that is usually neglected. In the last two decades we have had many books and proceedings of conferences on the concept of magic itself as well as its history, formulas and incantations in antiquity, both in East and West. Much less attention, however, has been paid to the material that was used by the magicians for their conjuring activities. This is the first book of its kind that focuses on the material aspects of magic, such as amulets, drawings, figurines, gems, grimoires, rings, and voodoo dolls. The practice of magic required a specialist expertise that knew how to handle material such as lead, gold, stones, papyrus and terra cotta—material that sometimes was used for specific genres of magic. That is why we present in this well illustrated collection of studies new insights on the materiality of magic in antiquity by studying both the materials used for magic as well as the books in which the expertise was preserved. The main focus of the book is on antiquity, but we complement and contrast our material with examples ranging from the Ancient Near East, via early modern Europe, to the present time.

  • Bernd Giese Christian Pade Henning Wigger Arnim Von Gleich Editors Synthetic Biology Character and Impact Risk Engineering
    Risk Engineering Bernd Giese Christian Pade Henning Wigger Arnim von Gleich Editors Synthetic Biology Character and Impact Risk Engineering Series editor Dirk Proske, Vienna, Austria The Springer Book Series Risk Engineering can be considered as a starting point, looking from different views at Risks in Science, Engineering and Society. The book series publishes intense and detailed discussions of the various types of risks, causalities and risk assessment procedures. Although the book series is rooted in engineering, it goes beyond the thematic limitation, since decisions related to risks are never based on technical informa- tion alone. Therefore issues of “perceived safety and security” or “risk judgment” are compulsory when discussing technical risks, natural hazards, (environmental) health and social risks. One may argue that social risks are not related to technical risks, however it is well known that social risks are the highest risks for humans and are therefore immanent in all risk trade-offs. The book series tries to cover the discussion of all aspects of risks, hereby crossing the borders of scientific areas.
