Materials for the Germany Social Studies Classroom Description of Publications A Kid Like Me Across the Sea is a primary/elementary instructional package targeted at grades K-3. This series of five lessons addresses the following topics: physical and cultural geography; basic needs of food, clothing and shelter; community services and community helpers; transportation and communication; political sym- bols; and migration of people. Communities and Regions in Germany is an instructional package targeted at upper elementary curriculum. This instructional package, presented to students as a travelogue, stresses basic map and globe/geography skills and presents case studies of communities (cities/towns/villages) across Germany. Overview of Germany is designed for middle school classrooms. The four lessons in the package correlate to the typical curriculum pattern in the United States (world cultures, geography and government). The ma-terials focus on world studies and state studies from a comparative U.S./Germany perspective. Germany in Europe: Enduring Issues is designed for middle and secondary class rooms. The unit is organized around four topics: The European Union, The People of Europe, the Nations of Europe, and The European Economy. Lessons focus on issues such as European membership, multicultralism, nation-building, the Euro currency, and the environment. The Geography of Germany is designed for high school classrooms. The five lessons in this instructional package relate to the "Five Themes of Geography" (Location, Place, Human-Environment Interaction, Movement, and Region) as promoted by the National Geographic Society. The lessons are designed to support the teaching of courses in World Geography, U.S. Government/Civics, and Economics from a comparative U.S./Germany perspective. Cultural Reflections: Work, Politics and Daily Life in Germany is also designed for the high school classroom. The three lessons in this instructional kit include "The German Worker," "Culture and Daily Life in Germany" and "Govern- ment in Germany." Student activities focus on comparative economic systems, worker training and apprentice- ship programs, structure of government (including case studies of the health care system and the federal budget), the role of the press in Germany, and leisure activities. Additional materials which support these instructional programs are also available: political and physical wall maps of Germany and Europe; cultural collage poster; video Germany Since 1945: A Focus on Berlin; Facts About Germany handbook; and additional resources from the German Infomation Center in New York These materials, developed by social studies educators in United States and published by Inter Nationes, are available through: Single copies at cost price American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) 112 Haddontowne Court, Suite 104, Cherry Hill, New Jersey 08034-3668 Telephone (856) 795-5553; Telefax (856) 795-9398 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.aatg.org Free sets of materials for inservice training Goethe-Institut New York 1014 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10028 Telephone (212) 439-8700; Telefax (212) 439-8705 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.goethe.de 4 BEST COPY MAMAle1141F e Contemporary Materials for the Social Germany Studies Classroom Scope and Sequence, K-12 Grade Level/Course Materials/Title K Individuals 1 Families A Kid like Me Across the Sea Grades K, 1, 2 and 3 2 Neighborhoods [Interest Level, Grades K Adult] 3 Communities 4 States and Regional Geography Communities and Regions in Germany Grades 3 and 4 [Interest Level, Grades 3-6] 5 U.S. History 6 World History 7 World Geography Overview of Germany Grades 6, 7 and 8 8 State History and Government 9-12 U.S. Studies Citizenship Economics U.S. History AmericanLaw The Geography of Germany American Government Grades 9-12 [Targeted at History and Geography (Physical and Cultural)] World Studies World History World Geography Cultural Reflections International Studies/ Grades 9-12 (Targeted at Economics, Government Contemporary Affairs and Sociology] Comparative Government Behavioral Studies Sociology Germany in Europe: Enduring Issues Psychology Grades 6-12 Anthropology materials needed for implementation.

    tion Note lica Art Works pp A Raman RA02 Archaeometric analysis of ancient pottery Philippe Colomban, LADIR UMR 70 75 CNRS & UPMC, Thiais, France Leading experts generally base their certification of ancient artefacts on stylistic analysis and on personal sensory perceptions. However, greater objectivity is mandatory for identification and dating purposes. Different manufacturing technologies often result in products of very similar external appearance (from the visual and sensory points of view), but which differ completely in their micro/nanostructure. A lot of information about the production process remains written in the sample and non-destructive Raman analysis of the micro-structure (for ceramics) and nano-structure (for glasses and enamels) offers a way to retrieve the information, which assists in the identification and sometimes dating of ancient artifacts (Figure 1). Direct relationships between the silica content, or more precisely the ratio between the glass-former (chiefly Si and Al-oxides) and the flux content (Na, K, Ca, Pb oxides) and the properties of glassy silicates have been established for a long time (Seeger’s rules). Because strong covalent bonded structures have Raman signatures orders of magnitude larger than those of ionic ones, the Raman spectrum of a silicate consists, as a first approximation, solely out of the signature of the Si-O network (Si-O stretching, bending and librational/collective modes). Because a SiO4 tetrahedron is a solid chemical and vibrational entity (molten silicates retain a strong polymeric

    The majolica collection of the Museum of Bargello A different approach to the Museum exhibition Leonardo ZAFFI, University of Florence, Department of Architecture, Italy Stefania VITI, University of Florence, Department of Architecture, Italy Keywords: Museum of Bargello, Majolica collection, design of Museums staging, resilience of Museums Introduction Nowadays the art exhibitions cannot just show the art collections, but they need to emotionally involve the visitors. The Museums users are not anymore scholars and experts only; many of them are non-specialists, wishful for evocative emotions and multi-disciplinary experiences. These new requirements, together with the need to preserve the art collections from the possible dangers (the time-effects, the natural disasters as much as human attacks), lead the new technology to play a crucial role in the design of the exhibitions layout. The design of a new art exhibition requires the involvement of many different technical and artistic knowledges. This research is focused on the design of the majolica collection exhibited at Museum of Bargello of Florence, which has been founded in 1865 as first National Museum in Italy. The Museum presents several art collections of high value, very different from each other. Even the displays exhibited at the Museum present a large variety, due to the different properties of the collections to exhibit and to the age of the staging design. Since the Museum foundation to nowadays, indeed, several displays have been followed one another, and some of them have become part of its asset. The current curators, therefore, have to deal with the double need i) to renew the exhibition, in order to guarantee the high profile of the Museum, and to optimize the expressive potentiality of each art good, and ii) to protect the art collections, providing to each item the due safety.

    It is our pleasure! Celebrating at Münchner Stubn The Wickenhäuser & Egger family is looking forward to your visit Joie de vive, Bavarian-style. We would like to cordially introduce ourselves by saying „Grüß Gott & Hello“: We are Kathrin Wickenhäuser-Egger and Alexander Egger, two true Munich natives, and we‘ve always had a heart for the smaller and more extravagant deli- cacies of our unique city. We have realized a long-awaited dream by opening the Münchner Stubn. Our idea was really rather simple: A place, where people from all over the world get in touch with Munich soil, some perhaps for the first time, this is precisely where we would like to welcome our guests and show them the genuine spirit of Bavarian hospitality. And wouldn‘t that be most easily done with a crispy roast on a rustic wooden table, and a glass of beer straight from the barrel? Yes, ... and sometimes some really fresh Bavarian veal sausage is worth a thous- and words. The location of Münchner Stubn in the area around the southern train station is no coincidence: The family Wicken- häuser has been present as entrepreneurs here for more than 100 years, first with the sale of automobiles, and as a successful family in the car racing, with Hotel Cristal in Schwanthalerstrasse for 30 years, and with Hotel Dolomit in Goethestrasse for 10 years. Let yourself be seduced by the charm of Munich under a white-blue sky. And our fine delicacies that make a visit worth-while time and again. See you soon!

    Transcribing Material Values in Doccia's Porcelain Medici

    Hannah Wirta Kinney TRANSCRIBING MATERIAL VALUES IN DOCCIA’S PORCELAIN MEDICI VENUS* Thomas Salmon’s 1757 Lo stato presente di tutti i paesi e popoli del mondo described the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and city of Florence through the works of admired artists. Im- aginatively walking the city through Salmon’s words, the reader discovers Florence’s ar- tistic legacy in every corner. This guide, like so many of the period, reinforced the illus- trious history the Medici family had written about themselves through their investment in the artistic culture of the city to which so many Grand Tourists made their pilgrim- age. The pinnacle of the Florentine experience was viewing the wonders of the famous grand-ducal galleries, which Salmon said were “perhaps unique”.1 Salmon catalogued room by room the “great works of every Art” collected through the “immense expense” of the “Heroes of the Medici House”.2 The last room, the Tribuna, contained “the best qualities of nature and art, the marvels of painting and sculpture”. Held in highest re- gard was “the most beautiful Statue of Venus, commonly called the Venere de’ Medici, which in past centuries was the wonder of Rome, and now one could say the marvel of this city” (fig. 1). Her perfection, Salmon emphasized, was attested to by “the many cop- ies that one finds scattered throughout the world”.3 * This article evolved out of my Masters’ thesis submitted at the Bard Graduate Center in May 2014. It would not have been possible without a Prendergast Travel Grant, access to the Ginori Family ar- chives, and open conversation with Oliva Ruccellai and Rita Balleri at the Museo Richard-Ginori della Manifattura di Doccia.

    Cologne Cathedral

    Arnold Wol Cologne Cathedral Its History – Its Artworks Edited and extended by Barbara Schock-Werner About this Cathedral Guide Arnold Wol, who was ‘Dombaumeister’ (cathedral architect) at Cologne Cathedral between 1972 and 1998, created this guide in collaboration with Greven Verlag, Cologne. His wealth of knowledge on the history of the cathedral and his profound knowledge of the interior have both gone into this book, and there are no other publications that do justice to both of these aspects in equal measure. is book presents the reader with the full spectrum and signicance of the architectural and artistic creations that Cologne Cathedral has on oer. In addition, the fold-out oor plan is a useful orientation aid that allows cathedral visitors to search for informa- tion on individual objects. Six editions of this book have now been published. Arnold Wol has overseen all of them. For this new edition he has tasked me with bringing the text up to date in line with the latest research and introducing the new- ly added artworks. e publisher has taken this opportunity to implement a new layout as well. Nevertheless, for me this guide remains rmly linked with the name of the great ‘Dombaumeister’ Arnold Wol. Barbara Schock-Werner Former Dombaumeister (1999–2012) Hint for using this guide: in the text that follows, the architectural features are labelled with capital letters, the furnishings, fittings, artworks, and other interesting objects with numbers. The letters and numbers correspond to those on the fold-out floor plan at the back. The tour starts on page 10.

The Imperial City of Cologne The Early Medieval North Atlantic This series provides a publishing platform for research on the history, cultures, and societies that laced the North Sea from the Migration Period at the twilight of the Roman Empire to the eleventh century. The point of departure for this series is the commitment to regarding the North Atlantic as a centre, rather than a periphery, thus connecting the histories of peoples and communities traditionally treated in isolation: Anglo- Saxons, Scandinavians / Vikings, Celtic communities, Baltic communities, the Franks, etc. From this perspective new insights can be made into processes of transformation, economic and cultural exchange, the formation of identities, etc. It also allows for the inclusion of more distant cultures – such as Greenland, North America, and Russia – which are of increasing interest to scholars in this research context.
